    Life after Anzeela marriage; Javeria Abbassi discusses the need for a companion

    Popular drama actor Javeria Abbasi, who announced her second engagement earlier this year, recently shared why she decided to remarry.
    During a morning show appearance with her friend and fellow artist Shahood Alvi, Javeria said, “I was all alone after Anzela’s marriage. She was my main focus.

    “When she married, I felt lonely and realized I didn’t want to be alone forever,” she added.

    Javeria said that she talked to Shahood about it, and he encouraged her to remarry. “My mother’s passing added to my loneliness,” the actress recalled.

    When asked why she didn’t remarry earlier, Javeria explained, “I had responsibilities for my parents, daughter, and siblings, so I never thought about it.”

    She met her fiancé at a dinner with friends, and they stayed in touch. “He proposed, and though I turned him down at first, he eventually won over my family and Shahood,” she said.

    For those who don’t know, Javeria was married to actor Shamoon Abbasi for 12 years. She announced her second engagement in May this year with a video of a Paris proposal. Her daughter Anzela married Tashfeen Ansari in August last year.

    Mariyam Nafees slams ogling Pakistani men

    Actress Mariyam Nafees has shared a mysterious post on her Instagram account, criticizing men who stare at women. Her post said, “Thanks to Pakistani men’s ogling. Nothing to be proud of – they must cover up so you don’t die staring at them Bitter Facts.”

    Mariyam responded to a tweet about Pakistanis living abroad wearing Western clothes while foreigners visiting Pakistan wear traditional clothing.
    Her comments have sparked a discussion on social media about Pakistani men and their behavior.

    The actress, currently on holiday in London, was trolled by internet creeps after posting pictures of herself in bright, summery clothes and receiving negative feedback from a social media user.

    While some argue that staring is a global issue, not just in Pakistan, others highlight cultural and religious reasons for modest clothing.

    Federal Government authorises ISI to record, trace calls

    The federal government of Pakistan has granted permission to the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency to intercept phone calls in the interest of national security across any telecommunications system, and apprehension of criminal activities.

    According to a government notification, ISI has been authorised to record phone calls under Section 54 of the Pakistan Telecommunication Act, 1996.

    The notification also grants the agency authority to trace messages and calls including WhatsApp calls, messages, and other applications.

    This authority is vested upon ISI officers of Grade 18 or above, subject to approval by the Prime Minister.

    On June 30, Justice Babar Sattar of the Islamabad High Court stated in the judgement of the Audio Leaks case of son of former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar and Bushra Bibi that any form of surveillance of citizens is illegal under the law, including the surveillance of four million citizens.

    The responsibility for this mass surveillance lies with the federal government, and the Prime Minister and the cabinet are collectively and individually accountable for it.

    The court order also expressed the expectation that the Prime Minister would seek reports from intelligence agencies and present the matter before the cabinet. The order further directed the Prime Minister to identify those responsible for implementing the lawful Interception Management System and conducting mass surveillance, with reports to be submitted by July 5.

  • Twitter wants police to arrest girls who beat up boy in Lahore

    Twitter wants police to arrest girls who beat up boy in Lahore

    A video of a group of girls beating up a shopkeeper in Lahore has gone viral on the internet. Some netizens claimed that the girls were daughters of an influential lawyer, adding that they had beaten the boy because they thought he was harassing them.

    In the video, the girls appear to have initiated the assault, with the boy at the receiving end of their blows and slaps.

    CCTV footage shows girls standing at the cash counter of a tuck shop holding coffee mugs while a young salesman is sitting at the counter with the cashier. The girls start talking angrily and then barge inside the counter.

    One girl, clad in a black T-shirt, grabs the salesman’s neck and slaps him; the other girls grab the boy’s hair and hit him. An elderly customer forbade the girls, but reportedly, they hurled abuses at him and went to the police station.

    The incident happened on Saturday night in the Garden Town area of Lahore at a petrol pump tuck shop. The boy was then arrested on charges of harassment, as per Geo, on the complaint of one of the girls, Iman Zahra.

    She stated in the complaint that both the salesmen made obscene gestures, and when she complained, salesman Yusuf, along with the cashier, abused them.
    Social media lambasted the girls for their inhumane behaviour.

    Ihtisham ul Haq called the whole act of violence “disgusting”.

    Activist Shama Junejo pointed out that the girls come from an influential background. Lahore Police’s Twitter handle replied to her, “On July 7, the police registered an FIR on a harassment complaint by the girls. Today, based on video evidence, these boys were acquitted. However, if any application is received from these boys, action will be taken according to merit.”

    To this, Shama replied, “When a crime is shown in a video, is it necessary to take action only on the complaint of the victim? Can’t it happen?”

    Netizens criticised Lahore police for this response as Ashir Azeem Gill, an ex-civil servant, actor and activist sarcastically wrote, “Well Done, Lahore police. Tomorrow you’ll say, how can we catch the killer, the deceased hasn’t filed a case.”
