    Modi claims to have stopped war in Gaza during Ramzan

    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently appeared in an interview with a group of journalists and claimed that he played an instrumental role in stopping the war in Gaza for the month of Ramzan.

    In a video clip that surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), shared by ALT News journalist Muhammad Zubair Modi asserted that in the holy month of Ramzan, he sent a special envoy to Israel in order to convince the Israeli Prime Minister to at least stop the war in Gaza for the month. “Kam se kam Ramzan mein Gaza mein bambari na karein,” Modi stressed. He also stated that the Israeli Premier tried to follow his advice but he did make the effort.

    Modi went ahead to point out that, “Here you guys accuse me of politics against the Muslims but, Modi attempted to stop the bombardment in Gaza. Now I don’t want publicity for this.”

    The claim is being taken with a large pinch of salt by social media users.

    Sharjeel Memon says big plan behind Imran Khan still being ‘laadla’

    Sindh Minister Sharjeel Memon recently stated during a press conference that the founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan is still a “laadla” (favourite) due to rapid speed of multiple case hearings.

    “I’m saying this very openly that there is a big plan behind the scenes,” said the PPP member.

    Memon also alleged that “Israel financially supported Khan in his election campaign and Israel is also campaigning about alleged human rights abuse in Pakistan.”

    The PPP member was of the view that in the past President Asif Ali Zardari’s cases did not get quick hearings as Khan’s do.

    He criticised the former Prime Minister for being a “small-minded person” and also stated that CM KP Ali Amin Gandapur should apologise for his wrong attitude with the Governor of KP.

  • NAB chairman apologises to victims for Bureau’s past wrongdoings

    NAB chairman apologises to victims for Bureau’s past wrongdoings

    In a welcome turn of events, present National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman Lt Gen (R) Nazir Butt has started approarching those who were victimised by the watchdog to apologise for the past misdeeds of widely criticised anti-corruption institution of Pakistan.

    The NAB chairman decided to sooth the pain of the victims by meeting them personally to apologise for how the top anti-corruption body maltreated them in the past. Multiple politicians, bureaucrats, and businessmen are on the list of NAB victims.

    Nazir Butt visited family members of the NAB victim who died a few years ago due to the torment of the institution’s officials.

    NAB’s new policy is completely different from what it was doing with multiple individuals a few years ago, The News reported on Friday.

    NAB is known for what is perceived as misuse of its power. The top anti-corruption body harassed multiple individuals, including politicians, bureaucrats, and businessmen, by keeping them behind bars for several years without any solid evidence.

    Several individuals lost their lives under NAB’s harassment.

    A few years ago, a NAB victim, Brigadier Asad Munir was found dead in his home in Islamabad. A handwritten note was discovered near his body. The note read, “I request you, the honourable chief justice, to take notice of NAB’s officials conduct so that other government officials are not convicted for the crimes they have not committed.”

  • Spain to not authorize ships carrying weapons for Israel in big win for Palestinian cause

    Spain to not authorize ships carrying weapons for Israel in big win for Palestinian cause

    In an effort to not contribute to or help Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Spain has decided that it will not authorise ships carrying weapons for Israel to call at its ports. The monumental decision was announced by foreign minister Jose Manuel Albares on Friday after the country refused to let a ship call at the southeastern port of Cartagena.

    The ship was the first to be denied access to a Spanish port, Albares asserted, adding the refusal was consistent with the government’s decision to not grant weapon export licences to Israel since Oct. 7, as Spain doesn’t “want to contribute to war”, reported Reuters.

    Previously, Spanish universities expressed willingness to suspend ties with any Israeli educational institution that failed to express “a clear commitment to peace”.
