    Zartaj Gul shuts down Ayaz Sadiq’s misogynistic remarks

    In an unusual development in the National Assembly today, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA Zartaj Gul requested the Speaker of House Ayaz Sadiq to “look into my eyes” when she addressed the floor with the speaker replying, “I don’t look into women’s eyes.”

    The PTI leader stated, “This is a request, sir, that if you don’t make eye contact with me, I cannot conduct my speech. I am a leader who won this seat through 150,000 votes from the people.”

    The speaker of the National Assembly replied, “I will listen to you but will not make eye contact with women.”

    The female PTI leader clapped back, “If you ignore the 52 percent female population and don’t make eye contact with them, then only selected leaders will get to this House.”

  • Heatwave melts Abraham Lincoln’s statue in Washington DC

    Heatwave melts Abraham Lincoln’s statue in Washington DC

    An intense heat wave in the American capital, Washington DC, did not spare a wax statue of former American President Abraham Lincoln.

    The statue of Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, had been placed at Camp Barker, an American Civil War-era refugee camp.

    As the heat intensified, the head melted first, then one of his legs dropped off from the torso, and a foot turned into a blob. The chair sank into the ground.

    At one point, the head of the statue melted and hung backwards, after which the administration separated the head from the statue and preserved it for later re-installation.

    However, the head from the 6ft wax sculpture of the Lincoln Memorial is now under repair, leaving behind a wire sticking out of the 16th president’s neck.
    The statue was installed at the same location last September, but the first version of the wax monument included over 100 wicks that were prematurely lit, melting a significant portion of the art installation ahead of its dedication ceremony.

    The new version was installed in February with fewer wicks, but the heat melted it as the DC-metro area was under a heat alert over the weekend.

    ‘We must show our sovereignty’: Ishaq Dar on US legislators’ resolution into election rigging

    On Thursday, Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar stated that Pakistan should respond tit-for-tat to the recent US House of Representative resolution demanding a probe into the February 8 elections.

    “In response to them, we will also bring about a resolution. We must show our sovereignty, we must show our unity, we must show that we mean business. This [resolution] makes no sense,” exclaimed the senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader addressing the floor of the National Assembly today.

    Earlier this week, the US House of Representatives, in an overwhelming majority, voted to demand an investigation into the rigging allegations of Pakistan’s general elections this year.

    The move triggered a strong response from Islamabad, with the Foreign Office saying it “stems from an incomplete understanding of the political situation and electoral process in Pakistan”.
