  • Government’s priorities revolve around how to tease the Opposition: Maryam

    Government’s priorities revolve around how to tease the Opposition: Maryam

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Vice-President Maryam Nawaz, while speaking to the media on Wednesday said that “The sitting government is not concerned about lawlessness, inflation, or increasing crimes.”

    ” Its [Government’s] priorities revolve around how to tease the Opposition, silence the media, and how to plan the next rigging,” said Maryam.

    Lashing out at the performance of the Pakistan Tehreek-e Insaf (PTI) government, Maryam said that the parameters of performance are measured in good or bad.

    She described the incumbent government’s past three-year performance as “nothing short of destruction”. 

    In her opinion, the PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif was talking about a national consensus not a formation of a national government.

    “The country is in dire need of national reconciliation barring this government. All others parts must unite and think how the government should be ousted,” added Maryam.

    She commented on the Media Regulatory Authority, saying that the government is creating hurdles for the media, adding that the bill was a continuation of the draconian government’s incumbent policies aimed at censoring the media. 

    In response to a question on Nawaz Sharif’s return, she said: “There is no precedent for what the PML-N has endured. Nawaz Sharif has taken far more than was required.”

    “I would like to say again today that this is an illegitimate and incompetently imposed government. And what they are is not accountability but revenge,” reiterated Maryam.

    “Circumstances have changed a lot. Very soon, you will see a lot of things change. Nawaz Sharif will return to the country when it is necessary for him to do so,” said Maryam.

    ‘Wanted Sajal and Mohib, worst experience’: Fasih Bari Khan makes shocking revelations about ‘7 Din Mohabbat In’

    The Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewah writer Fasih Bari Khan recently appeared in Wo Wala Show and made shocking revelations about 7 Din Mohabbat in. He also revealed that Mahira Khan and Sheheryar Munawar were not his first choices for the film.

    The writer, who has a reputation of creating unusual hits with his knack for storytelling revealed that it was the miscasting in 7 Din Mohabbat In which spoiled the humour, turning it into a blunder.

    According to Fasih, he always had a bubbly actor, especially Sajal Aly in mind for the role that landed into the Raees diva’s lap. He said: “Mahira is a good actor but the character was not for her. I always had Sajal in mind while writing the character. For the male lead, I had someone like Mohib Mirza in my mind but then that couldn’t happen as well.”

    The writer had to change the script on demand and hence the story went haywire.

    Known for his unique humour and satire, he stated that if he went on working on a film in the future, he would make sure he does it independently to save his film from tanking at the box office.

    The Ghisi Piti Mohabbat writer claimed it was the makers who brought Mahira and Sheheryar on board.

    Thinking of retiring from politics if no one bothers me: Sheikh Rasheed

    Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed has said that he is thinking of retiring from politics.

    While speaking to journalist Waseem Abbasi, Sheikh Rasheed said Interior Ministry is a challenging ministry and mentally he is thinking of retiring now.

    “Every day there is an incident in this ministry. It is a sensitive ministry. Security is involved. The Railways Ministry was a normal ministry. But here the work pressure extends to 18 hours a day,” said Sheikh.

    When asked will he be contesting in the next general elections, Sheikh Rasheed responded, “If no one bothers me, I will not be contesting in the next general elections. Two years are left [for the elections] to happen, so I am of the view that I should retire.”

    According to Rasheed, he was not going to contest the 2018 elections, but when Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif said that “I (Sheikh Rasheed) will not be in the next assembly, I just had to contest.”
