    Alleged audio leak: 5-carat diamond ring for Bushra Bibi from Malik Riaz

    Two alleged phone calls between business tycoon Malik Riaz and his daughter Amber have been leaked in which the two can be heard talking about gifting a diamond ring to former First Lady Bushra Bibi in return for a favour that Khan is doing for them.

    Initially, the conversation revolves around Amber talking to her father about Bushra Bibi’s friend Farah Khan — who allegedly acted as a bridge between Amber and Bibi. Amber tells her father that Farah has demanded a five-carat diamond ring for Bibi.

    As per the alleged audio leak, Amber says to her father that she inquired from Farah about a letter and asked, “When will the locks be opened”?

    In the alleged audio leak, it is revealed that Bushra Bibi did not like the ring. According to Farah Khan, the ring is quite ordinary for a First Lady and asked that it be returned and a new one be given.

    When Amber told her father, Malik can be heard saying, “Buy whatever she wants.” Farah also promised Amber that Khan has said that the letter would be given to them tomorrow.

    Here are some of pictures of Harry Winston rings along with their prices.

    Note: these pictures and prices are for reference only. It is not known what ring was given at what price, only that it was allegedly a Harry Winston ring.

  • Arif Alvi returns NAB, election amendment bills to PM, says ‘was not informed’ about ‘legislative proposal’

    Arif Alvi returns NAB, election amendment bills to PM, says ‘was not informed’ about ‘legislative proposal’

    President Dr Arif Alvi refused to sign the bills seeking amendments in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and election laws.

    The bill has been returned back to Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif as the president said he “was not informed” about the “legislative proposal” under Article 46 before they were tabled in parliament.

    Last week, the National Assembly (NA) passed bills to scrap election reforms giving overseas Pakistanis the right to vote through i-Voting and electronic voting machines (EVMs), as well as the NAB laws, done during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) tenure in power.

    A press release issued by the president’s office said that Article 46 was violated as he was not informed about the legislative proposals before they were brought before parliament. Article 46 states that “the prime minister shall keep the president informed on all legislative proposals the federal government intends to bring before Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)”.

    PM Shehbaz directs power authorities to reduce load-shedding to two hours

    Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif instructed the power authorities on June 4 to reduce load-shedding throughout the country to two hours, alerting that he wanted results rather than explanations.

    As per a report from ARY News, PM Shehbaz Sharif, who presided over a meeting to resolve the challenge of hours-long unexpected load-shedding in the country, asked power division officials and federal ministers to do whatever was essential to reduce load-shedding to two hours per day.

    While dismissing explanations for the duration of load-shedding, PM Shehbaz stated that officials should minimise the sufferings of the general public rather than furnishing justifications.

    “I only wanted to provide relief to the masses and will not accept the ongoing situation of load-shedding,” a defiant PM stated that he will not compromise and will not allow any minister or official to relax until the problem is resolved.

    He instructed officials to work around the clock to bring power to businesses. The prime minister also aimed the finance minister to secure all necessary resources to address the problem. It is worth noting that Pakistan’s generation capacity has deteriorated, with the power disparity reaching over 7,000 megawatts.

    As per power division sources, the country’s electricity demand has risen to 27,200 megawatts due to the hot weather. The length of unannounced load-shedding across the country has also been elevated to 14 hours. “There is a nationwide power production of 20,000MW, resulting in a shortfall of 7200 MW,” they added.

    According to reliable sources, the country presently acquires 4,635 megawatts of electricity from hydropower, 1,060 megawatts from thermal power plants, and 9,677 megawatts from IPPs. Considering the findings, 3 key power companies have shuttered 16 power plants in Pakistan largely owing to a shortage of fuel.

    Promoting rape culture through ads, Indian perfume company faces backlash

    Trigger warning: Sexual assault/rape

    Two advertisements of a perfume company in India glorifying rape culture were taken down by the Indian ad regulatory body, the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI).

    “The ad is in serious breach of the ASCI Code and is against public interest. We have taken immediate action and notified the advertiser to suspend the ad, pending investigation,” the body said while replying to a complaint regarding the ads.

    Two different ads from the same company caused an outrage in India for insensitively portraying rape.

    In one of the ads, four men can be seen entering a store. They are shown having a dispute over who will take a ‘shot’. There are four of them, but only one ‘shot’ is available. During this debate, instead of the bottle of body spray, a woman is shown and it looks like they are having an argument over who will first rape the woman. The woman even turns around in anger, believing the four men are talking about her. However, she is then shown relieved, when one of the men picks up the body spray called ‘Shot’.

    People on social media expressed their anger over the adverstiments:
