    Khan wants General Asim Munir to apologise to him

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder chairman Imran Khan said in a post on X that “My abduction on the morning of May 9 was part of the London plan and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir should apologise to me.”

    Imran Khan further said in the same post that “DG ISPR and the army chief are making political statements in a threating tone, which is affecting the army’s image.”

    “When political statements and press conferences are made, political parties have the right to respond,”  he added.

    The former Prime Minister also said that he will write a letter to COAS General Asim Munir about the economic and political situation of the money-strained country, Geo News has reported.

    While talking to journalists in Adiala jail on Monday, the former Premier said, “I will write a letter to the army chief on the [prevailing] situation in the country.”

    The remarks came about a few days after he assigned an “important responsibility” to former president Arif Alvi, who is continuously trying for better relations between PTI and the establishment.

    PTI founder assigned the responsibility of talks with the establishment to Alvi after declining the military’s demand to apologise for the May 9 violent protests. 

    On a question regarding the £190 million settlement case, the PTI founder said that Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA) had confiscated money, finding it “suspicious transactions” but not “money laundering.”

    Want PTI to apologise? Give us an independent May 9 commission and we will: Omar Ayub

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and opposition leader Omar Ayub Khan, while talking to Independent Urdu, said that May 9 was a conspiracy against PTI. In response to a question regarding apologising to the military, the PTI leader said, “Yes, we will apologise if an independent commission is made.”

    On the other hand, Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Aain (TTA) alliance leaders demanded a judicial investigation into the May 9 violent protests last year.

    TTA chief Mehmood Khan Achakzai, while speaking at the event in Islamabad, warned that his party workers will protest on the streets across the country if martial law was imposed in the country, and the constitution was destabilised.

    Similarly, PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said sarcastically while addressing the same event that DG ISPR, in his recent press release, gave ‘facts like Form 47’.

  • Why did Arijit Singh apologise to Mahira Khan?

    Why did Arijit Singh apologise to Mahira Khan?

    Renowned Bollywood singer Arijit Singh recently apologized to Pakistani TV and film star Mahira Khan during his concert in Dubai.
    Singh publicly apologized to Khan after failing to recognize her in the front row. However, he quickly made amends by dedicating a song to the Pakistani celebrity.

    “I was trying to recognize this person, then remembered I had sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen, Mahira Khan is sitting right in front of me,” Singh announced to the audience.

    “Think about it, I was singing her song ‘Zaalima,’ and it’s her song, and she was singing and standing, and I couldn’t recognize her. I am so sorry. Ma’am, gratitude and thank you so much.”

    Khan, who was in Dubai to receive her ‘Artist in Fashion’ award at EMIGala 2024, attended Singh’s concert. Sharing moments from the event on her Instagram, she wrote, “I wasn’t meant to be here for this… but… I guess I was. You know what I mean?”

    She further praised Singh’s performance and humility, stating, “What a pleasure it is to watch an artist perform… whirling in joy, surrounded by love. But more than that, it’s beautiful when you see humility in an artist… because he knows, it isn’t him… he’s just been blessed from up above. Stay blessed.”

    ‘Madam Zeba ko batana ke Imran Khan aya tha maazrat karnay’: Khan ne maangi mafi

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan appeared before the court of Additional Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry on Friday to apologise for his remarks against her at a public rally.

    However, when Khan arrived at the court of Zeba Chaudhry, she was reportedly on leave and not present at the court.

    He asked the court Reader to stand witness to his appearance in Chaudhry’s court to offer an apology.

    Addressing the Reader, the former Prime Minister said, “Madam Zeba ko batana hai ke Imran khan aya tha, mazrat karna chahta tha agar un ke ilfaz se koi dil azari hui ho,” he told the reader. (Tell Madam Zeba Chaudhry that Imran Khan had visited and wanted to apologise if any of his words hurt her sentiments).

    Earlier this month, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) decided to frame charges against Khan in a contempt of court case registered against him for his controversial remarks about Zeba during a rally in Islamabad on August 20.

    However, after many delays, Khan apologised to the high court, saying, “Mai khaatoon judge se zaati taur pe maafi maangta hoon”, (I personally apologise to the female judge).

    Following this, the high court remarked that it would not be appropriate to conduct contempt proceedings against Khan. The PTI chairman also requested the high court to allow him to apologise to Judge Zeba Chaudhry in person.

    In August, Khan addressed a party rally to express solidarity with then-arrested PTI’s Shahbaz Gill and threatened Chaudhry. He said, “Zeba! Be ready, we will take action against you.”

    Chaudhry had approved Gill’s two-day physical remand at the request of the capital police.

  • ‘Shameful, apologise to the whole country’: Indian Supreme Court to Nupur Sharma

    ‘Shameful, apologise to the whole country’: Indian Supreme Court to Nupur Sharma

    The Indian Supreme Court on Friday reprimanded the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma, and asked her to “apologise to the whole country”. Sharma was suspended by the BJP after she made derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) last month.

    “We saw the debate … the way she said all this and later says she was a lawyer, is shameful. She should apologise to the whole country,” reports NDTV.

    “She is single-handedly responsible for what is happening in the country,” reports The Hindustan Times.

    According to India Today, the court noted that Sharma’s comments were made either for “cheap publicity, a political agenda or for some nefarious activities”. The court also said that she had “threatened the security of the nation”.

    “A spokesperson can’t make such statements. Sometimes power goes into the heads of people and they think they are everything,” the Indian SC bench said.

    Last month, after hashtags calling for the boycott of Indian products began trending on Twitter in Arab countries over derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by BJP spokespersons Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal, India’s ruling party suspended Sharma and expelled Jindal.

    Muslims took to the streets across Asia, including India, where protesters faced a crackdown by the Indian authorities.

    Meanwhile, multiple cases were registered against Sharma in different cities, following which she moved the Indian SC to transfer all cases against her to Delhi.
