    ‘That flame no longer burns’: AB de Villiers announces retirement from all forms of cricket
    
			
    Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers took to social media to announce his retirement from all forms of cricket.
    

    AB de Villiers made the announcement on Friday, November 19, marking an end to an incredible career that spanned over a period of more than 18 years.
    

    “It has been an incredible journey, but I have decided to retire from all cricket,” ABD wrote on Twitter. “Ever since the back yard matches with my older brothers, I have played the game with pure enjoyment and unbridled enthusiasm. Now, at the age of 37, that flame no longer burns so brightly.
    

    “That’s the reality I must accept – and, even if it may seem sudden, that is why I am making this announcement today. I’ve had my time. Cricket has been exceptionally kind to me,” he wrote in another Tweet.
    

    

    


    

    

    

    Having made his international debut in 2004, AB de Villiers represented South Africa in 114 Tests, 228 ODIs and 78 T20Is. Across formats, he amassed 20,014 runs, averaging more than 50 in both Tests and ODIs. He retired from international cricket in May 2018.
    

    England’s batter Jos Buttler also extended his wishes for the veteran cricketer, saying that he used to “turn on the tv just to watch” him bat.

    Teachers hired in school, colleges to ‘basically teach extremism,’ Fawad Chaudhry lashes out at the education system
    
			
    Teachers hired in school, colleges to ‘basically teach extremism,’ Fawad Chaudhry lashes out at the education system
    
			
    Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry, while addressing a consultative conference on terrorism in Islamabad on Thursday, said that extremism in Pakistan is rooted in schools and colleges, not in madrassas, reports Dawn.
    

    The federal minister said that during the 80s and 90s, teachers were hired in schools and colleges as part of a plot to “basically teach extremism”.
    

    He continued by saying that the students of “ordinary schools and colleges” had been involved in notable incidents of extremism in Pakistan and not of madrassas. The minister further said, “You closed their (school and college students’) minds. If you cultivate a society where an opposing view is immediately declared kufr (heresy) … how can you present an opposing view?”
    

    “Religious extremism was seen more in regions that are in India now. Areas over here (Pakistan) never had religious extremism to the extent [seen today],” he said, regretting that “Pakistan faces a grave danger today.”
    

    “We don’t have any potential threat from India. We have the sixth largest army in the world, we are an atomic power, and India cannot compete with us,” he continued. “We face no danger from America. We face no danger from Europe. The biggest danger we face [today] is from within [Pakistan].”
    

    “Whoever has even little understanding of Islam and is aware of the way Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) spent his life, how could he adopt extremism?” said Chaudhry, adding, “The problem is with those who interpret religious injunctions.”

    Talking about state’s role in curbing extremism, Fawad said, “[The] state should have only one business, and that business is the enforcement of the law. If a state is unable to enforce the law, its existence is questioned, as, in this scenario, it gradually moves towards civil war.”
    

    He said that it is the state’s responsibility to ensure that no group uses violence to impose its own point of view. “If the state weakens and violent groups gain strength, there lies a problem.”

    Jamaat-e-Islami proposes law to ban gender reassignment surgeries, condemns current law
    
			
    Jamaat-e-Islami proposes law to ban gender reassignment surgeries, condemns current law
    
			
    Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) presented a bill in the upper house of Parliament Senate seeking an amendment in the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2018, for the creation of a medical board that would recommend “whether a person’s gender should change, instead of them seeking a reassignment on the basis of their personal identity”, reports Dawn.
    

    The bill was presented by JI’s Senator Mushtaq Ahmad who recommended the formation of such boards at the district level comprising of a professor doctor, a psychologist, a male general surgeon, a female general surgeon, and a chief medical officer after the approval by the Prime Minister (PM) and provincial Chief Ministers (CM).
    

    The proposed law also seeks a ban of gender reassignment surgeries or any other treatment to change genital features on the basis of “any psychological disorder or gender dysphoria”. It also states that the law in its present form could lead to the “legalisation of homosexual marriages”. 
    

    However, the present law states: “A person recognised as transgender shall have the right to get himself or herself registered as per self-perceived gender identity with all government departments including, but not limited to NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority).”
    

    According to the JI, under the current law, a person could get themselves registered as a man or a woman not on the basis of their biology but their “personal thoughts”.
    

    Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari strongly opposed the proposed bill which was presented by JI and said the proposed amendment was aimed at “victimising” transgenders. She defended the current law and argued that it gave Transgenders Persons the right to identity.
    

    “Till date, not a single complaint has been received regarding the misuse of this existing law,” she said.
    

    JI and Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) senators protested Mazari’s remarks, following which Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani, sent the bill to the relevant standing committee for discussion.
    

    According to data shared with the house, 16,530 cases of gender change from male to female were processed, 12,154 cases of female to male, 21 cases of transgender to male, nine cases of male to transgender and as many cases of transgender to female.

    Nida Yasir lands in hot waters for making ‘saas-bahu’ fight for ratings
    
			
    Actor and Morning show host Nida Yasir is being trolled by Twitterati for inviting pairs of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law for the two to face off in front of an audience.
    

    A clip from the show doing the rounds on social media follows a mother-in-law complaining about how she had demanded for an educated daughter-in-law who can do domestic chores, emphasizing that her daughter-in-law has no interest in looking after domestic affairs. 
    

    The clip was shared by a host and social media influencer Kanwal Ahmed on Twitter, “Nida Yasir just topped her own problematic standards on this show where she invited saas bahus to complain about each other. Like here, a saas claims she hired a marriage bureau to find her a ‘perfect’ bahu who is educated but must stay home, only to discover she’s ‘phuar’.

    Earlier on Ahsan Khan’s show, the Nadaaniyaan star stated, “Interviews with known people usually get very high ratings but as soon as we switch to something more educational or informative the numbers fall. I love the more informative shows and so does the more educated demographic.”
