  • Jawad Ahmad unsure of survival after contracting coronavirus again

    Five months after testing positive for COVID-19 for the first time, Jawad Ahmad has tested positive for the virus again.

    Sharing the news on social media, Ahmad said: “I contracted COVID again. Don’t know if I’ll survive or not.”

    The singer-turned-politician further said: “Yes, I’ve enough money for its treatment if it gets worse, but truth is that it is no more fun to just keep living in this world full of poverty, helplessness and deprivation.”

    “One needs to change it before going to heaven,” added Jawad.

    Ahmad, who entered politics a few years ago with the Barabri Party Pakistan is very vocal about the rights of marginalized groups.

    The vision of his party is “to establish a truly democratic state based on equitable distribution of wealth, equality of right over resources so that whatever is found, grown and produced in this country is equally accessible to all and equal access to opportunities regardless of race, religion, gender, and ethnicity.”

    Woman discovers son’s bride is her long-lost daughter

    A woman in China who was attending her son’s wedding realised that the bride-to-be was actually her long-lost daughter.

    As per details, the woman recognised the girl from a birthmark on her hand during the wedding ceremony, which took place in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. She then asked the bride’s parents if the girl had been adopted.

    The family, at first, was stunned at the question because they had not told anyone that the bride is not their actual daughter.

    However, they later revealed that they found the girl on the roadside more than 20 years ago and adopted her, saying that they have always regarded her as their own daughter to love and take care of.

    The bride after finding out the truth burst into tears of joy, describing the moment “happier than the wedding day itself”.

    Fortunately, the wedding did not get cancelled as the groom’s mother revealed that she had adopted the boy after giving up all hope of finding her daughter.

  • JKT reacts to reports of joining PPP, seeks ‘insaf from Tehreek-e-Insaf’

    JKT reacts to reports of joining PPP, seeks ‘insaf from Tehreek-e-Insaf’

    Disgruntled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Khan Tareen has said that his loyalty to Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan was being tested, but he is not parting ways with the ruling party.

    Speaking to the media after he arrived at a banking court to attend his bail hearing, he was reacting to claims by Shehla Raza of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).

    Raza had a day earlier claimed that Tareen was soon joining the PPP.

    “Not one, not two but three FIRs have been registered against me,” he said on Wednesday. “Out of the 80 sugar mill owners, all they could see was Jahangir Tareen,” he said, questioning why he was being subjected to “revenge”.

    The PTI leader said his “loyalty was being tested”. He added that an inquiry against him, relating to the sugar crisis, has been going on for the last year.

    He lamented that his accounts as well as those belonging to his son, Ali Tareen, had been frozen. “Why have my accounts been frozen? Who is doing this? Who benefits from this?” he asked. Tareen said he was “asking for justice from (PTI) [League of Justice]”, adding that he was a friend, but being “pushed towards enmity”.

    In response to a question, Tareen said it was time to expose those involved in a conspiracy against him. He said PM Imran could expose the person who was hell-bent on exacting revenge against him.

    Despite his grievances against the ruling party, Tareen said he was not parting ways with the PTI. “I am a member of the PTI and will remain so,” he said.

    When a reporter asked Tareen whether he was about to meet former president and PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari, he said the reports were baseless.

  • Kartik Aaryan pays 0.5 crores to airlift Lamborghini from Italy

    Kartik Aaryan pays 0.5 crores to airlift Lamborghini from Italy

    After testing negative for the novel coronavirus, Kartik Aaryan gifted himself a brand new Lamborghini Urus. This machine by the Italian automakers cost him a whopping INR 4.5 crores (approx PKR 9 crores).

    Sharing the news with his fans, Kartik posted a video of himself with the car saying: “Kharid li…. Par main shayad mehengi cheezon ke liye bana hi nahi hoon.”

    In the video, Kartik could be seen posing with his new Lamborghini, when suddenly he loses his balance due to a big celebratory burst of confetti from behind.

    According to reports, this four-wheeled luxury car had to be airlifted from Italy as Kartik couldn’t wait for the normal three months waiting period. Sources said that Kartik paid an extra half a crore just to get the car delivered to him faster.

    Aaryan later confirmed the news while thanking Lamborghini Mumbai for “arranging the airlifting in record time”.

    The luxurious Lamborghini Urus is known for its classy interiors, sexy silhouette, and a jaw-dropping top speed of 305 kmph.

    Along with the Lamborghini Kartik owns a BMW which he bought in 2017, and a Mini Cooper, which he bought for his mother in 2019 since it was her favourite car.

    Meanwhile, on the work front, Kartik has several exciting projects lined up including comic supernatural thriller Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, crime-thriller Dhamaka, and Karan Johar’s Dostana 2.

  • ‘Jahangir Tareen likely to join PPP next week’

    ‘Jahangir Tareen likely to join PPP next week’

    In what would be damning for not only the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) but also key Punjab players among others, sugar baron Jahangir Khan Tareen is likely to soon join the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).

    According to PPP senior leader Shehla Raza, Tareen has met JDW chairperson and veteran PPP politician Makhdoom Ahmed Mahmood.

    “Next week he will also meet former president Asif Ali Zardari in Karachi. I believe during this meeting he will announce quitting the PTI and joining the PPP along with his companions,” she tweeted.

    https://twitter.com/SyedaShehlaRaza/status/1379429766395174921?s=19

    Tareen, a former aide and close friend of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan, has been at odds with the premier ever since the government went after him and his family members during the sugar crisis probe.

    The development comes days after registration of cases against Tareen and his son by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) was reported.

    If Tareen does join the PPP, it could mean a severe blow to the PTI in Punjab where it is said to be in power only due to the support Tareen garnered for incumbent Chief Minister (CM) Usman Buzdar.

    The claims, however, have reportedly been rubbished by Tareen.

    He was quoted by journalist Adil Shahzeb.

  • ‘Rape is an act of violence’: Pakistanis educate PM Imran on rape

    ‘Rape is an act of violence’: Pakistanis educate PM Imran on rape

    Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday held an interactive session with the general public via phone calls in which he answered their questions and responded to their concerns.

    During the session, while responding to a question about what the federal government is doing to curb the recent surge of rape cases and sexual violence especially against children, PM Khan instead of laying out his government’s plans blamed the rising cases on vulgarity.

    The premier’s comments caused an uproar on social media, prompting Pakistanis to not only bust myths related to rape but also call him out for his insensitive remarks. Some even shared their own personal experiences to make it more clear that why rape happens and why it is never okay to blame the victim.

  • Did Gilani just throw Bilawal under the bus?

    Did Gilani just throw Bilawal under the bus?

    Former prime minister (PM) and incumbent leader of the opposition in Senate, Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has said it was Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chief Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s decision to seek the support of Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) lawmakers for his election to the post.

    “They approached that we, a four-member group headed by Dilawar, want to join you. They didn’t approach me, they approached chairman sahib [Bilawal],” he said.

    He made the revelation in an interview with a private media outlet, where he also said he was neither interested in the seat of the Senate chairmanship nor leader of the opposition, but it was Bilawal who made the decision.

    His nomination for the slot and ultimate win despite joint opposition’s reservations is what is the latest and apparently the biggest bone of contention between the PPP and PDM so far.

    Gilani, who was in a straight contest with PML-N candidate Azam Nazeer Tarar, had earlier denied using the votes of BAP senators, saying he had secured the seat with the support of 30 “opposition” senators.

    These included 21 members from the PPP, two from the Awami National Party, one from the Jamaat-e-Islami, two independents from erstwhile Fata (Hidayatulla and Hilalur Rahman) and four from the independent group of Dilawar Khan, who had been supporting the PML-N in the past. Other members of the group include Kaira Babar, Naseebullah Bazai and Ahmad Khan.

    Speaking in the programme on Monday, Gilani expressed support for the decision to secure votes from BAP senators and said they were disgruntled members who approached Bilawal for the post of leader of the opposition in the Senate.

    “But what is wrong in taking their support?” he questioned.

    Gilani further said that the PDM must stay intact but the decision to resign from assemblies had come out of the blue.

    He questioned what would be the next move after the resignations came, adding that this was what the PPP’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) would ask them.

    Gilani’s son and PPP member Kasim Gilani, however, has lamented “spread of disinformation” regarding the interview.

    Taking to Twitter he clarified his father’s statement.

    Meanwhile, ANP has reportedly withdrawn from the PDM after show-cause notices were issued to the party to explain their actions during the recently-held Senate polls.

    They had voted for Gilani in a move deemed betrayal by the opposition alliance but democratic right by the PPP and ANP.
