    Subha Bakhair, *|MERGE1|*, it’s the second day of June and I am already done with heat! I just came across some absurd comments on Alizeh Shah’s posts because her dressing was not according to our “so-called culture”. ?I don’t understand why people don’t mind their own business and let people live in peace. Singer Momina Mustehsan has hit back at the trolls who were moral-policing Alizeh Shah. I believe that we need more people like her in our society who can stand up against this.  

    Have you ever feel judged about your dressing? Let’s discuss this. ?

    It’s a sunny day with a little hope of showers. I am looking forward to it.

    Post Hania Amir in ‘Dilruba’, Ayeza Khan to play a TikToker in ‘Laa Pata’

    Ayeza Khan will be playing the role of a TikToker in her upcoming drama Laa Pata after Hania Amir, who played a mischievous teen in Dilruba, smitten by the video-sharing app.

    Ever since Ayeza revealed about her character in the play, her fans have been asking for more details about the Khizer Idrees directorial.

    The Mere Paas Tum Ho actress recently created a TikTok account by the name of her character, “Geeti Princess” and urged her fans to follow and support the account.

    While Hania received a mixed response from the audience on her portrayal of a flirtatious social media star, Ayeza seems to be involving her fans in the process much before the serial’s telecast.

    In her live stream chat, the Chupke Chupke actress only revealed that Laa Pata cast includes Sarah Khan, Ali Rehman Khan, Goher Rasheed, and Asma Abbas, many more names are a part of the cast like Rabia Naureen and Munazzah Arif, giving us an interesting set of actors.

    The team is currently shooting a significant portion of the screenplay in Karachi.

    Sarah Khan too has been updating her fans on her character’s development via stills from the shoot.

    Laa Pata is produced by Momina Duraid and will be aired on HUM TV in the second half of the year.

  • Nisha Rawal accuses star husband Karan Mehra of domestic violence

    Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame Karan Mehra was arrested earlier this week over the allegations of physically abusing his wife Nisha Rawal, India Today has reported. The actor was later released from the Jail.

    Nisha, in her interaction with the Indian media accused husband of having an extramarital affair and also alleged him of domestic violence adding, “We have been together for 14 years. Many things happened in these years but no one came to know about anything.”

    “Karan has been having an affair with another girl, which I didn’t know about. When I came to know about it, he accepted that he has another girl in his life. I asked if he has physical relation, if it’s a serious affair or an emotional one. He said ‘I love that girl. I have been having physical affair with her”, added Nisha.

    Nisha’s friend Rohit Verma shared pictures of her head injury on Instagram along with a long note, while extending his support for Nisha.

    Meanwhile, reacting to the allegations made by wife Nisha, Karan said, “All these allegations are bound to come up and I will be linked with many people. These stories are baseless. I haven’t cheated on her and I am not having an extramarital affair,” in his statement to Hindustan Times.

    The actor added: “Nisha has mood swings and violent anger streak. She would throw stuff and hit herself and others. Five-six years ago, she was diagnosed as bipolar. People, including our friends and relatives, have seen her behaviour in public and I couldn’t take it anymore.

  • Govt takes back appeal against Shehbaz, name still on ECL

    The federal government has withdrawn its petition challenging the Lahore High Court (LHC) verdict, which allowed Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif to travel abroad for his medical treatment.

    Attorney General for Pakistan Khalid Jawed Khan informed the court that the government was withdrawing its appeal as Shehbaz had decided to take back his petitions against the government in the High Court.

    Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry told The Current that the government has not taken it back. “It is disposed of with the order of the Supreme Court (SC) that this order will still not be cited as a precedent in any case in the future and Shehbaz Sharif or anyone on his behalf cannot use it for contempt proceedings against the government. This is clearly in favour of the government.”

    “If this was a proper or legal order, why can it not be used or followed again and why its violation did not amount to contempt. This is the first time where Supreme Court has passed such an order even though the petition was withdrawn from the High Court. It completely vindicates the government’s stand’” added Fawad.

    Fawad further said, “You compelled them to withdraw from the Lahore High Court and even thereafter the Supreme Court did not approve such an order. In addition, the Supreme Court has also ordered expeditious trial of Shehbaz Sharif in the Accountability Court.”

    Chaudhry had earlier tweeted, “The government’s appeal in the apex court was no longer necessary as Shehbaz’s name had been placed on the Exit Control List (ECL) and he had withdrawn his petition from the High Court.”

    In May, the LHC had granted conditional permission to Shehbaz to travel abroad for medical treatment. However, when the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly attempted to leave the country on May 9, he was stopped by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). On May 17, the Interior Ministry placed the Opposition leader’s name on the no fly-list.

    President Alvi stresses that Pakistan is not against Jews or Christians

    President Arif Alvi on Tuesday, in an address to the Second Conference of Parliamentary Assembly of the Economic Cooperation Organization (PAECO) countries, stressed that Pakistan is against genocide, not against Jews or Christians.

    “We are against genocide. We are not against Jews or Christians, but against all oppressors of humanity,” said Alvi.

    Alvi further added that Pakistan’s stance on Israel’s violations of human rights was “not anti-Semitic, but anti-Zionist.”

    “We will raise our voices against anyone who resorts to oppression,” the president said.

    He also said that labelling the freedom movement of Palestinians and Kashmiris as “terrorism” by Israel and India was an act of viewing the countries through the “prism of prejudice”.

    The president expressed confidence that the Muslim world would join hands in giving the world a strong message on Islamophobia.

  • PM ‘worried’ about the Opposition

    PM ‘worried’ about the Opposition

    Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday, while speaking at a ceremony in Ziarat said, “I am worried, whether they [Opposition] will remain as an alliance or not.”

    Khan took a jibe at the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), which faced a setback after the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Awami National Party (ANP) left it.

    The premier said the country was “getting out of a very difficult time”, adding that the Opposition parties had been “making noise” that his government would fail ever since it came to power.

    “Our opponents have created hue and cry. Even when Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) had formed the government in 2018, our opponents said that we were bound to fail,” said Khan.

    The Opposition kept reiterating that the country’s economy would suffer, but now, when the growth rate’s statistics were made public, they rejected them, he said.

    “Our opponents want us to fail,” he said, as he stressed the government was doing everything in its power to uplift the economy.

    The premier, shedding light on how his government achieved growth in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, said the PTI-led government promoted tourism, launched health cards for nearly half of the population.

    Moreover, till this year’s end, Punjab’s population will have a health card and soon enough, all of Pakistan will have this facility. “Even in Balochistan, every family will have a health card.”

    Prime Minister said his government “considers Balochistan ours” in a way that previous governments did not. Previous governments had not spent money on the province’s development, he said, adding that his government would “use all of our resources in this difficult time” to ensure progress.

    The premier said there was a gas issue in Ziarat, and a member of the provincial assembly (MPA) had told the premier that a gas line would be installed to overcome this problem.

    Installing an LPG plant is more feasible in Ziarat, he said, adding in the next fiscal year, he would try his best to get an LPG plant installed in the city.

    “Balochistan is a large province, so developing streets here is quite expensive …. Pakistan’s development will actually take place when the entire country develops,” he said.

    The premier said despite reservations from Punjab and KP that he was being “too generous with Balochistan”, it was the government’s “responsibility to make full efforts” because the province had been ignored in the past.

    “Pakistan’s development will only be in real terms when it is inclusive [and] when the whole country develops,” he reiterated.

    “I will keep coming here and checking the progress. We are giving another package for roads. We will give funds wherever there is room,” the premier concluded.
