  • President Alvi calls off NA session without any official announcement

    President Alvi calls off NA session without any official announcement

    President Dr Arif Alvi called off the National Assembly (NA) session on Friday— the same day when Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif was to appear before a special court in Lahore, reports Dawn.

    A spokesperson for the Presi­dency said that the postponement of the session was not officially notified beforehand. According to the media outlet, Pak­istan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leaders gathered at NA Speaker Asad Qaiser’s residence several hours before the session on Thursday night and decided to have Friday’s session shelved.

    They believed that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shehbaz could possibly be arrested on Friday but the court deferred the indictment. The ruling party was of the view that the Sharifs should not be given an opportunity to seek an adjournment on the ground of attending the NA session.

    Upon hearing about the postponement, Sharif said the session had been put off as the government was hoping he would be indicted. He further added that it is unprecedented that a scheduled session of the NA has been shelved in such a manner.

    However, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry dismissed this claim. Chaudhry said that Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s visit to Russia on February 23 was one of the reasons for the postponement of the session.

    Other than this, some sources claim that the government wanted to promulgate some ordinances for which the session had been shelved.

    Sharif appeared before the court for his indictment in a money laundering case that was registered by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

    As of yet, no new date has been announced for holding the postponed session of the lower house of parliament.

  • Gloria Jeans and La Montana closed due to court order

    Gloria Jeans and La Montana closed due to court order

    A month after the closure of Monal Restaurant, the Ministry of Climate Change and Pakistan Environment Protection Agency issued notices to two other hilltop eateries, La Montana and Gloria Jeans, to immediately stop operating in the National Park.

    The restaurants were established without environmental approvals while the managements didn’t provide plans for solid waste management, sewerage water, and drinking water supply despite several notices.

    “The Islamabad High Court, in its orders dated January 11, 2021, observed that protection of ecosystems and natural habitat is a constitutional obligation of the state, its institutions, and public dignitaries,” it stated. “The destruction of the national park is violative of the fundamental rights of the people of Pakistan and saving it from harm is the inviolable duty of the State.”

    The notification issued under section 16 (2) of EPA Act 1997 cited.

    The law permits:

    • Immediate to stoppage, preventing, lessening or controlling the discharge, emission, disposal, handling, act or omission, or to minimize or remedy the adverse environmental effect.
    • Installation, replacement or alteration of any equipment or thing to eliminate or control or abate on a permanent or temporary basis, such discharge, emission, disposal, handling, act or omission.
    • Action to remove or otherwise dispose of the effluent, waste, air pollutant, noise, or hazardous substances.
    • Action to restore the environment to the condition existing prior to such discharge, disposal, handling, act or omission, or as close to such condition as may be reasonable in the circumstances, to the satisfaction of the Federal Agency or Provincial Agency.

    Last month, the Islamabad High Court ordered authorities to seal Islamabad’s Monal Restaurant.

    The National Park’s land belongs to the state and no commercial activities can be carried out here, the court ruled.

  • Karachi Kings finally break their losing streak by beating Lahore

    Karachi Kings finally break their losing streak by beating Lahore

    On Friday, Karachi Kings finally broke their losing streak, beating Lahore Qalandars by 22 runs at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

    After winning the toss, Karachi posted a total of 149 runs in 19.5 overs. Kings’ bowler Mir Hamza was the star of the day, as he took four key wickets of Lahore Qalandars to ensure points for his team.

    Karachi, which is already out of the tournament, had a face-saving with their win over Qalandars, who had 10 points in seven games and were looking for a place in the playoffs but now they have to win all its coming games.

    Defending champions Multan Sultans qualified for the February 23 Qualifier after they snatched 117 runs victory over Quetta Gladiators earlier in the day. Lahore Qalandars will now face Islamabad United in the 27th match of the league on Saturday.

    Harry Brook and David Wiese with some gutsy batting kept Lahore Qalandars’ hopes intact till the 18th over. But Mir Hamza, who first broke the partnership taking the wicket of Brook and then, despite review from Wiese, trapped him leg before wicket. They provided some acceleration to Lahore’s score from 63 for five to 119 for six. Brook made 28 while Wiese piled up 31 in 23 balls. With that Qalandars now look to regroup in their next match to stay alive in the tournament.

    On Lahore’s side, Afghan bowler Rashid Khan and emerging pacer Zaman Khan took four wickets each, conceding 17 and 16 runs respectively.

    Hamza bagged Player of the Match award for an outstanding spell against the Qalandars.

  • Attorney General of Pakistan denies filing reference against Islamabad judge in Mohsin Baig case

    Attorney General of Pakistan denies filing reference against Islamabad judge in Mohsin Baig case

    Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) Khalid Javed Khan has denied filing a reference against Islamabad’s Additional Session Judge Zafar Iqbal over his verdict in journalist Mohsin Baig’s case.

    Speaking on Geo News programme ‘Naya Pakistan’, the AGP said that the government is not going to file a reference against Zafar Iqbal.

    AGP Khalid Javed was of the view that a review petition can be filed against the verdict but not a reference.

    References cannot be filed based on a judge’s verdicts, nor should be unless evidence or appellate court decision proves the judge’s misconduct, added Khalid Javed.

    On Thursday, the government decided to file a reference against Zafar Iqbal for declaring the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) raid illegal at senior journalist Mohsin Baig’s home.

    Advocate General (AG) Islamabad Niazullah Niazi met Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan and briefed him about the case hearing.

    Niazullah Niazi said that a reference would be filed against the judge soon. He said that Mohsin Baig had pointed a gun at FIA and police officials besides threatening the on-duty officers. “Being a media person does not allow anyone to take the law into their own hands.”

    AG Islamabad further stated that PM Imran Khan has said that no one is above the law.

    “Everyone is equal before the law. Constructive criticism is beneficial for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government,” said PM Khan.
