    Man striving for Jinnah’s Pakistan passes away at 90

    Lahore’s 90-year-old Ikramul Haque, who stood all alone at Liberty Roundabout with a poster stating “Humein Jinnah ka Pakistan chahiye [We want Jinnah’s Pakistan]” for the past six years, has passed away, Dawn reported.

    Known as “the old Jinnah man”, Haque stood at the roundabout every Tuesday. Passing away last Friday, his funeral prayers were held on Sunday at 5 pm at 112/5 F Model Town.

    He had been part of the Pakistan Movement as a student from 1944 to 1948 and was a member of the Muslim Students Federation of Dayal Singh College.

    Haque strongly believed in and advocated Quaide Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s vision of Pakistan that was not a theocratic state, rather it was about the Muslims, who were a minority in India, and their basic rights.

    He started standing at the Liberty Roundabout in 2013 after growing terrorism and extremism in the country.

    Starting his career as a junior clerk at the Caltex Oil Company in Karachi, he retired as managing director of National Fertiliser Marketing Limited. Haque has left behind a wife and three sons.

  • Saudi Arabia, Palestine, UAE among six Muslim states that awarded Modi with high civilian awards

    Saudi Arabia, Palestine, UAE among six Muslim states that awarded Modi with high civilian awards

    Despite the crisis in occupied Kashmir and after the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain has also conferred upon Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi its top award, “The King Hamad Order of the Renaissance”.

    While the Modi-led government paves way for a Muslim genocide in the troubled valley, India’s relations with Islamic nations are better than ever before.

    Several other Islamic nations also honoured Modi with their high civilian award in the recent past. Here’s a list of awards the Indian premier has been conferred with by Muslim-majority countries:

    The King Hamad Order of the Renaissance, Bahrain – August 2019

    Order of Zayed, UAE’s highest civilian award – August 2019

    Grand Collar of the State of Palestine – February 2018

    Amir Amanullah Khan Award, Afghanistan – June 2016

    King Abdulaziz Sash Award, Saudi Arabia – April 2016

    Rule of Nishan Izzuddeen, Maldives – June 2019

    Both recent awards have led to an uproar as a human rights crisis brews in Muslim-majority occupied Kashmir with New Delhi continuing its clampdown in the disputed territory.

  • Punjab govt removes name of Hamid Mir’s father from underpass

    Punjab govt removes name of Hamid Mir’s father from underpass

    The Punjab government has renamed the Waris Mir Underpass on the provincial capital’s Canal Bank Road near the Punjab University (PU), where the late writer and intellectual taught journalism for about 25 years.

    The name of Waris Mir, a Hilale Imtiaz recipient, was removed from the underpass on Saturday and renamed the Kashmir Underpass in a sudden and mysterious move that has been condemned by the Waris Mir Foundation.

    Senior journalist and anchorperson Hamid Mir’s father, Waris, taught for 30 years at the PU’s Mass Communication Department.

    He was not the only one to be honoured by the state in March 2013, since all newly-constructed underpasses, which tallied up to more than a dozen across the city, were named after outstanding intellectuals and prominent personalities, including Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Ashfaq Ahmed, Habib Jalib, Justice A R Cornelius, Ustad Daman, Chaudhry Rehmat Ali, Khushaal Khan Khatak, Liaqat Ali Khan, Chakare Azam Rind, Justice A R Kiyani and Patras Bokhari.

    The names had been decided through a procedure in several meetings of the City District Government, headed by a former judge of the Supreme Court (SC).

    Commenting on the move, Waris Mir Foundation spokesperson said “it was nothing but an act of aversion, not against Waris Mir alone, but a sequence of hatred and uncalled-for enmity towards the Pakistani media, in general, which seems to be a line of action of the government”.

    “This act, in general, has only been secretly carried out to hurt the sentiments of hundreds of Waris Mir’s students, readers and his posterity,” the spokesperson added.

    Boxer Amir Khan is going to the Line of Control

    Acclaimed British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan has announced that he will be visiting the Line of Control to highlight the ongoing Indian aggression in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK).

    Khan in a tweet shared that Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor was giving him the opportunity to visit the LoC.

    The boxer also posted a video message calling for peace.

    “This trip to Kashmir will be for peace,” Khan said. “I see that there are a lot of problems there… a lot of innocent people are being killed and injured.”

    The boxer also praised the Pakistan Army for “doing a great job” and said he wants to go to Kashmir on behalf of the Amir Khan Foundation and express his support for the people there.

    Ever since India revoked Article 370 which granted special status to IoK, tensions between the two neighbouring countries have reached an all-time high. Pakistan has demanded the UN take immediate notice of the deteriorating human rights situation in the occupied valley and play its role in relieving the Kashmiris from the Indian atrocities they have been facing for the last 20 days.

  • The do’s and don’t of brushing your teeth

    The do’s and don’t of brushing your teeth

    We all brush our teeth every single morning but are you doing it correctly? Brushing your teeth is very important if you want healthy teeth and want to prevent cavities and tooth decay.

    Here are five things to keep in mind when brushing your teeth.

    Are your toothbrush bristles soft enough?

    A hard brush will just damage the protective enamel layer of your teeth which in turn leads to sensitivity. Hence, it is pertinent to use a soft toothbrush.

    Brush gently

    Brushing too hard will get you nowhere. It can damage your enamel, hurt your gums and even lead to gum recession. Brush gently, making sure you cover all surfaces.

    Brush for 2 minutes

    While most people brush for only 45 seconds, dentists recommend that one should brush for at least two minutes. How long you should brush your teeth is very important.

    The right time to brush

    It is ideal to brush your teeth twice a day: one before bed and once after breakfast since you tend to consume sticky food, such as cereals, for breakfast.

    Brushing your teeth too many times a day can lead to overbrushing, which will wear away your teeth.

    Brush in small circular motions

    Keeping your brush at a 45-degree angle at all times, brush your teeth in circular motions. This helps remove particles of food that get stuck right under the gums.

    The “sawing” motion can lead to gaps in your enamel that make the perfect home for tiny food particles.

    Brush your tongue

    As strange as it sounds, the tongue is actually one of the biggest sources of bad breath on account of all the microbes and food debris that get stuck on it. So it is important that you brush your teeth to get rid of it.

    Floss

    One should floss at least once a day to remove the food hiding between your teeth. If food is left between the teeth, it can cause bad breath and tooth decay.

    Last but not least, change your brush every three to four months and visit the dentist every six months for a checkup and professional cleaning.
