  • Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee endorses Donald Trump in hopes of justice for Imran Khan

    Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee endorses Donald Trump in hopes of justice for Imran Khan

    The Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee (PAKPAC), an organisation registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in the United States founded in 1989, has endorsed Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump in the 2024 US Presidential election.

    The organisation’s official X page posted a detailed statement with the caption: “After extensive meetings with the Trump & Harris campaigns, we believe the former President is the candidate who will improve US-Pak relations and promote true democracy in Pak.”

    In the detailed statement, it was written, “While we certainly do not agree with the former President on every issue, after extensive meetings with his campaign and with the Harris campaign, we believe the former President is the candidate who will improve US-Pakistan relations, secure the release of all wrongfully imprisoned political prisoners in Pakistan and work towards reversal of Pakistan’s dangerous democratic backsliding.”

    The PAKPAC also emphasised that during former President Donald Trump’s presidency, relations between the two countries were ‘better’ as his administration was directly engaged in talks with Pakistani ministers.

    It also said that those efforts remained absent under the Biden/Harris administration.

    “In contrast, the Biden/Harris administration has not demonstrated the same commitment to bilateral relations. Under President Biden, the Pakistani government was pushed into a legislative coup against the popular and democratically elected Prime Minister of Pakistan, and the administration has nothing done nothing to secure the release of former Prime Minister and other political prisoners,” said the statement.

    The PAKPAC also exhibited fears with the Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris, writing, “We fear these policies would persist under a Harris presidency, further straining relations between our two nations.”

    It should be highlighted that PACPAC is the organisation that has extensively lobbied for former Prime Minister Imran Khan; moreover, it also lobbied for the US Congress legislation in June that called for a “full and independent investigation” of Pakistan’s election and “condemns attempts to suppress the people of Pakistan’s participation in their democracy” through “harassment, intimidation, violence, arbitrary detention.”

  • Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actress wants to check Maryam Nawaz’s bag

    Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actress wants to check Maryam Nawaz’s bag

    Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum has enthralled audiences with its gripping storyline. Among the plethora of its fan favourite characters is Rubab, played by Naeema Butt.

    In a recent interview on ARY Digital, Butt shared candid thoughts and one odd desire she has.

    When asked about whose bag she would like to inspect, Naeema Butt said, “It’s a messy one, I like everything messy, I’m very messy. I want to check (Punjab Chief Minister) Maryam Nawaz’s bag.”

    She was then asked, “What are the three essential things in your bag that you can’t live without?”

    The Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actress replied, “I can’t live without water. Mostly I also have water in my purse, and that’s one thing I think is very crucial. I can’t go without water, number one. There is money, so of course that, and my ID cards. I think these are the three things. That’s it. Well, a lot of extra tissue papers.”

    A few days ago ARY Digital asked Naeema about the most-searched Google questions about her on-screen character Rubab and gave answers to satisfy fans’ curiosities.

    “How to get hair like Rubab,” one question asked.

    “First of all, it’s important to acknowledge that I am a creation of Allah, as we all are. Secondly, it’s about your genes and who your parents are, so choose good parents if you can. Thirdly, maintaining a good diet is essential. Whenever I try to lose weight and don’t eat enough carbs, my hair thin out. It’s important to have a balanced diet that includes proteins, carbs, and fiber. Vitamins play a significant role. I take biotin and collagen, which help with hair health. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water, manage your stress levels, and get enough sunlight for that vitamin D,” Butt added.

    As for Rubab’s accent, Naeema said, “Well, it can be any accent you like British, American, Pakistani, or even a blend. It’s all about Rubab’s style.”

    When asked about how to get a job in Rubab’s company, Butt jokingly said, “For that, you’d have to kill Adeel because I’m not going to offer jobs just like that. It’s just about love.”

    Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is written by Farhat Ishtiaq and directed by Badar Mehmood. It airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 PM on ARY Digital.

  • Will PTI lawmakers support the 26th Constitutional Amendments?

    Will PTI lawmakers support the 26th Constitutional Amendments?

    A day after Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Barrister Gohar Khan claimed that seven lawmakers of the ruling coalition lawmakers will vote against the 26th constitutional amendments, the incumbent government reportedly played its card and brought over opposition members to its side.

    Speaking on the YouTube channel ‘Talk SHOCK,’ veteran journalist Azaz Syed disclosed that 11 Members of the National Assembly (MNAs) of PTI are with the incumbent government. “The government will only use four to five PTI lawmakers” to vote in favour of Constitutional Amendments in parliament, he said.

    Speaking about the possible timing of tabling the 26th Constitutional Amendments in parliament, Syed predicted that in the next 48 hours, the Constitutional Amendments will be passed from the Senate (Upper House).

    “Chief Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana Fazlur Rehman will support the constitutional amendments in the Senate,” Syed predicted.

    JUI-F on Thursday disclosed its key suggestions for the 26th Constitutional Amendment, suggesting the establishment of a constitutional bench within the Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan as well as at high courts, reports said.

    According to reports, all political parties, including the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), have reached a consensus on the formation of a constitutional bench at the top court, and no party has objected to this suggestion.

  • Shahzeb Khanzada schools Info Minister Azma Bukhari for threatening journalists

    Shahzeb Khanzada schools Info Minister Azma Bukhari for threatening journalists

    Veteran journalist Shahzeb Khanzada scolded Punjab Information Minister Azma Zahid Bokhari in his show over her threat to journalists before a press conference held by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz addressing the matter of the alleged ‘rape’ case of Punjab Group of College.

    Azma Zahid Bokhari on Tuesday, while threatening journalists, stated, “If anyone creates a nuisance in the press conference, I will not spare anyone, and my complaint means you have to face difficulties in your employment.”

    Later, the Information Minister clarified her statement on X (formerly Twitter) by saying that her video clip was not fully shared.

    Responding to the open threat, Shahzeb Khanzada, on his programme, criticised the Information Minister, saying, “Aap hath jor kar karain ya buland awaz ma karain, ap tameez se karain ya badtameezi say karain, dhamki tu dhamki huti hai.”

    “Who are you to threaten journalists,” he questioned.

    Khanzada highlighted the double standard of the Information Minister, stating that when they (indirectly named PML-N) are in opposition, they stand with journalists, but once they form the government, they show their true colours.

    On the other hand, Azma Bokhari told journalists at the Lahore High Court (LHC) that there would be no more pampering.

    “Jo mujhy meri auqaat bataty hain un ko pehly apni auqaat dekhni chahiye,” she added.

    Responding to a journalist’s question, she replied, “Now there is no brotherhood and no pampering.”

    Champions Trophy 2025: PCB suggests interesting solution for Indian matches in Pakistan

    Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has shared an interesting solution for the Indian cricket team’s matches in Champions Trophy 2025.

    According to ‘Urdupoint’, PCB has suggested that the Indian team can go back home after every match

    Meanwhile, Indian media is claiming that there has been a proposal to hold India’s three pool matches at two venues during the event.

    The International Cricket Council (ICC) broadcasters, who are also broadcasters of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), suggested that having matches at two venues will increase the broadcast and event value. PCB has no objection to holding matches at two venues and suggested Rawalpindi as the second venue, claimed Indian media.

    Earlier, the PCB had suggested only one venue in Lahore for India due to travel issues, but the broadcaster has suggested adding another venue.

    In the proposed schedule, India’s three matches were scheduled in Lahore.

    The high-voltage clash between Pakistan and India is scheduled for March 1, while Pakistan, India, New Zealand and Bangladesh have been placed in Group A according to the proposed schedule.

    Champion Trophy 2025 and India’s participation:

    The Champion Trophy is scheduled for February of next year in Pakistan. All teams have confirmed their arrival, while India’s participation is yet to be confirmed.

    In July, Indian media claimed that India would not visit Pakistan for the event, saying that some matches of the Champions Trophy would be held in the United Arab Emirates or Sri Lanka on a hybrid model.

    However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice president Rajeev Shukla denied these claims, saying that the Indian government would make the final decision.

    The Telegraph Report on Champion Trophy:

    UK publication ‘The Telegraph’ has reported that the International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering different venues for India’s matches, including the final of the trophy. The final could be shifted from Lahore to Dubai. The final is scheduled to be played in Gadafi Stadium in Lahore on March 9, 2025.

    Abu Dhabi and Sharjah are likely to host India’s matches if needed, The Telegraph has reported.

    ICC chief executive’s statement about Champions Trophy:

    On September 12, ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice confirmed now that there are no plans to move the Champions Trophy from Pakistan.

    He said, “No team has hesitated to play in the tournament. All teams are committed to playing in Pakistan. Despite previous challenges, all participating teams are determined to play in Pakistan.”

    The ICC Champions Trophy will host eight elite teams based on their performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup: India, Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.

    Pakistan is currently the defending champion of the Champions Trophy. The Pakistan cricket team, led by former captain Sarfraz Ahmed, won the Trophy in England in 2017, defeating India in the final.

  • Legend in death: Sinwar’s last moments shows him defiantly fighting Israel

    Legend in death: Sinwar’s last moments shows him defiantly fighting Israel

    The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have released a video of the last moments before the martyrdom of Yahya Sinwar-head of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, who took charge of the organization after the assassination of its leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran.

    Yesterday, the Israeli army claimed that they had targeted a building in Gaza where Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar was present and were checking if he is dead or not.

    Later, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also confirmed the death of Yahya Sinwar and called it the beginning of the end of the ceasefire in Gaza, but no official statement has been issued by Hamas yet.

    American broadcasting agency CNN has reported that the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) released an edited video of the time of the attack on Yahya Sinwar.

    In a video released by the IDF, a man with one arm cut off can be seen sitting on a sofa in a damaged building, and a drone camera moves towards him, whereas the voice behind him says it is Yahya Sinwar.

    Despite being injured, Yahya attacks the drone with a piece of wood as the drone approaches him.

    X users praised the Hamas leader for being valiant even in his last moments.

    A Bangladeshi user praised him for being a hero.

    Another user posted a picture of the Hamas leader for being brave and commented,”Even in his final movements, Israelis could not budge him from his chair.

    Another called him “iconic.”

    Umar bin Zahir posted the picture of Yahya and commented that “he continued to fight with honour.”

    A user by the name of America the Ghetto posted that in the attack Yahy didn’t die, everyone around him did.

    American politician Sam Parker commented, “Sinwar gave the last full measure of devotion.”

    Though Israel released the footage to try and trample Hamas’ morale, the footage had the opposite effect. Twitter flooded with praise for Sinwar after footage showed him defiantly throwing a stick at an Israeli drone filming him even though one of his arms was cut off by then.

    Veena Malik teases fans with her groom’s face

    Rumours are circulating on social media about actress Veena Malik’s marriage once again, following her teasing of fans and the public with hints about the mystery man in her life.

    When Geo Digital had a special conversation with her regarding this matter, she said, “This important change in life has been kept in front of everyone. When I finalise the date of the wedding, I will tell everyone. I will even reveal the groom’s face.”

    She laughed and added, “Those who are eager to see Shehryar Chaudhry’s face will get their wish fulfilled on the wedding day.”

    Remembering the past, Veena shared, “I started my career at a very young age and then decided to get married soon.”

    “Shehryar liked me but kept it to himself. On the other hand, I was busy with my career and life. During that time, I also studied for six years and completed my B.Sc and Masters, but I had no intention of getting married or settling down. It all happened very suddenly, and believe me, I am happy to feel all these emotions now. As for the children, they are more understanding now,” she explained.

    Veena Malik married businessman Asad Bashir Khattak in Dubai in 2013, and they have two children. However, the marriage ended after three years, with Malik citing incompatibility as the reason.

    “Shehryar Chaudhry belongs to a well-established family in Islamabad. He has a business of cars and property. Our first few meetings were in Islamabad because I am also from there. In these brief meetings, I found Shehryar to be a wonderful person. He is educated, handsome, and also a Hafiz of the Quran, and that is a quality that won my heart,” she shared.

    “I wanted a life partner who was both religiously and worldly connected,” she said.
