  • ‘PM Modi sleeps only for two hours a night for the sake of India’: Maharashtra BJP chief

    Maharashtra chief of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Chandrakant Patil, has claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sleeps only for two hours so that he will work for his country, India.

    While addressing BJP workers, Patil said, “PM Modi sleeps for only two hours and works for 22 hours every day.”

    Patil was speaking to a large gathering in Kolhapur city for the upcoming Assembly by-poll elections.

    He also claimed that PM Modi is working for every single minute for the country and currently he is experimenting to prevent sleeping so that he could stay awake for 24 hours and dedicate his life to his country.

    He also continued that Indian PM Modi is well aware of every situation in every political party in India and he is working efficiently.

  • ‘NAB is a fraud through and through’: Broadsheet CEO apologises to Nawaz, says no corruption found

    ‘NAB is a fraud through and through’: Broadsheet CEO apologises to Nawaz, says no corruption found

    Assets recovery firm Broadsheet’s CEO Kaveh Moussavi has issued an apology to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, withdrawing all corruption allegations and for being part of a “witch hunt”.

    Moussavi issued an apology to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader through a video interview with GEO News on allegations of corruption.

    “We found a lot of plundered wealth [linked to others], but I can categorically state after virtually 21 years of investigation that not one rupee was related to Mr Nawaz Sharif or any member of his family. If anyone says otherwise they are lying,” Kaveh Moussavi said.

    “I have no hesitation in issuing an apology to the former prime minister for my being party to a scam and scandalous nonsense masquerading as the National Accountability Bureau,” Moussavi said, adding: “NAB is a fraud through and through.”

    Kaveh Moussavi repeated his apology addressing Nawaz Sharif directly. “I repeat it: Mr Sharif, we owe you an apology because Mr Sharif you clearly were the victim of a massive organised scandalous witch-hunt. There’s no question about that. When facts change, I change my views.”

    “Twenty-two years ago when Pervez Musharraf had asked us to investigate you, we were led to believe and we started investigating and at every turn we found that investigation was sabotaged not because we were getting close to things but because the intention was something else. That actually was a witch hunt and the intention was not to find any looted assets,” said Moussavi.

    Kaveh Moussavi revealed that he was in touch with Prime Minister Imran Khan through Shipping and Ports Minister Ali Zaidi and that he had evidence to prove his conversations with Ali Zaidi.

    “I was in direct contact with the government. I sat and had lunch with minister Shehzad Akbar directly in London. I had a telephone chat with another minister, Ali Zaidi, who was commissioned by Prime Minister Imran Khan to speak with me and to cooperate but they showed not a scintilla of evidence that they were interested in going after the stolen money,” said Broadsheet’s CEO.

    “They were interested in using whatever we found as a political capital against their enemies, which I am afraid, was my experience with the NAB right from day one. From day one we insisted that we are not going to be an instrument of witch-hunt. Very soon it became clear that the NAB was nothing but an instrument of witch-hunt – a very incompetent and corrupt one. The reason why Imran khan promised the moon and didn’t get anywhere was because they had no intention of going anywhere,” said Mousaavi.

    PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif took to Twitter and said, “Corruption allegations were made to keep him out of public life. Now the whole edifice of lies, deceit & character assassination stands demolished.”

    ‘Naak Katva Di Ertugrul Bhai ki’: Pakistanis criticise Esra Bilgic for being in lingerie campaign

    Turkish Actor and Model Esra Bilgic aka Haleema Sultan, who is famous in Pakistan for the drama serial Diriliş: Ertuğrul’s, has been recently featured in Victoria’s Secret’s Turkey promotional campaign. Victoria’s Secret is famous for its lingerie.

    Esra shared the video on her Instagram account, and Pakistanis had a collective meltdown under her post.

    However, this is not the first time Esra has been trolled by Pakistani social media users. In September 2020, after months of being patient and forgiving Pakistani viewers for their comments on her choice of clothes, Esra Bilgiç slammed a troll who asked her not to wear “such dresses”.

    Under her Instagram post, a social media user by the name Astounding Ali commented: “Please don’t wear such dresses Halima baji, not good.” In response to his comment, Bilgiç remarked, “Let me give you a little advice: Don’t follow me. Thank you.”

  • ‘The battle should be fought inside Assembly’: SC

    ‘The battle should be fought inside Assembly’: SC

    Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Umar Ata Bandial heard a plea filed by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) on Monday about the lawful proceeding of the no-confidence motion in the National Assembly (NA).

    During the hearing, which was attended by three bigwigs of the Opposition — PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, and Jamiat-e-Ulema-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, SCBA counsel argued that NA Speaker Asad Qaiser summoned the session 17 days after the submission of the no-confidence motion. However, according to Article 95, the session has to be called within 14 days.

    He further argued that the no-confidence motion could not be adjourned before voting. To this, CJ observed that it is an “internal matter” and it would be “better if the assembly’s fight is fought inside the assembly”.

    Justice Bandial further remarked that the court will not interfere in the assembly’s proceedings.

    Moreover, SC said that no one can be prevented from voting by bringing people. About the upcoming marches, the court added that the Opposition will keep the same distance as the government’s from parliament.

    According to the SC, a member’s individual vote has no “status”. Justice Munib Akhtar said after joining a political party, a member’s vote is considered a “collective” right.

    The petition, which was filed by SCBA says circumstances involving a confrontation between the government and the Opposition could trigger an “anarchic situation” in the country.

    About the recent Sindh House attack, Islamabad Inspector General of Police (IGP) Qazi Jamilur Rehman gave the incident’s briefing to the court.

    Chief Justice Bandial remarked that what happened at the Sindh House did “not seem to be the police’s failure”.

    “The main issue is related to stopping Members of National Assembly (MNAs) from voting,” he said.

    Before the hearing, Bilawal Bhutto avoided making any political statement. Meanwhile, Maulana Fazl said that it is the first time that he is appearing before the SC.

    “This government is illegitimate. Do you want to create sympathy for such an incompetent government,” Fazl asked.

  • ‘You are a victim of your own arrogance, makafat-e-amal’: Maryam Nawaz tells Khan

    ‘You are a victim of your own arrogance, makafat-e-amal’: Maryam Nawaz tells Khan

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice-president Maryam Nawaz has said to Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan that his “game is now over”.

    During a media talk outside the Islamabad High Court (IHC), Maryam Nawaz said, “Imran Khan believes there to be an international conspiracy against him, but he conspires against himself. Had he fulfilled his duty, there would be no reason to mobilise one million people. You just need to bring 10 people and complete your number.”

    “Four years are sufficient to show the performance of a person. Imran Khan should know that people have shown him the red card.”

    “You are the victim of your own arrogance, makafat-e-amal [karma], and not any conspiracy,” said Maryam.

     “You called out Nawaz’s politics. Today, the same Nawaz has beaten you by entering your homes while sitting abroad. Now you are the one paying visits to people with one or two seats.”

    Maryam said that Khan refused to visit the Hazaras and said he wouldn’t get blackmailed.

    Maryam said there is a “wave of neutrality” in the air these days. “We have heard this has upset some people. I didn’t realise a single word would bring down your 22-year struggle.”

    The PML-N leader further said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government and Imran Khan never allowed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) or the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to stay neutral.

    “You have always conspired. You want someone to complete your numbers, someone to keep you in the game, someone to manage the media for you, and someone to manage all the institutions for you,” said Maryam, adding, “If someone refuses to do this for you or doesn’t agree to do this, you call them animal. What message are you giving to the world?”

     Slamming the premier for his foul language and choice of words against the Opposition in his speeches, Maryam said, “I have heard his speeches and he sounds like a defeated man.”

    “You ridicule opponents. You oppose Maulana Fazlur Rehman. You mimic Bilawal. No one has ever used foul language the way Imran Khan does,” said Maryam.

    “PM looks like a joker while he’s at it. I urge mothers of my country not to let their children watch such speeches. I don’t want that our children should learn this culture of misbehavior,” said the PML-N leader.
