Founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan has predicted that the incumbent government, led by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), will last only two more months.
Inside Rawalpindi Adiala’s jail, the former Prime Minister told journalists, ‘’The government is plunging into a quagmire; however, the rulers are fools and unable to understand this.’’
’I am predicting this from prison that this government has only two more months.’’ He also said he has enough time, but the incumbent rulers are running out of time.
Earlier, Imran offered to negotiate with the stakeholders in power by selecting Chief Milli Awami Party (MAP) Mahmood Khan Achakzai from his side.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has moved the Supreme Court to review its decision in the reserved seats case involving Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Sunni-Ittehad-Council. The petition stated that’ ‘’Primary relief has been granted to the PTI.’’
With his counsel Salman Akram Raja, PTI chairman barrister Gohar Ali Khan approached the apex court to restrain ECP from allocating reserved seats to other parties.
“Such reserved seats belong to PTI and its candidates whose names are present in the list presented before ECP in accordance with the judgement of the Supreme Court dated 12-7-2024. Candidates may be declared elected to the reserved seats for women and non-Muslims,” the petition read.
On July 12, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that the former ruling party was eligible for the reserved seats. After implementing the decision, PTI will become the largest parliamentary party.
In a lengthy Instagram note in October 2020, Sana announced that she is quitting the entertainment industry to “serve humanity and follow the order of her creator.” She went through a tough time before that because of her split with choreographer Melvin Louis in 2019, who she also accused of cheating.
It was in November 2020 when she announced her marriage with Surat-based businessman Anas Saiyad. She has been living her life travelling to Maldives, visiting Haj and has also launched her clothing line, Haya by Sana Khan among other exciting things.
Revealing why she left showbiz in the first place, Sana recently told Times Of India, “In my past life of course, I had everything, name, fame, money. I could do anything and everything that I wanted but one thing that was missing was peace in my heart. I was like everything but why am I not happy? It was very tough and there were days of depression, there were days when I would get God’s message, his signs.”
What triggered her decision? Sana added, “In 2019, during Ramadan I still remember I used to see a grave in my dreams. I would see a burning, blazing grave and I could see myself in the grave. I just saw the empty grave, I saw myself. I felt this is the sign that God is giving me that if I don’t change, this is what my end is going to be. That got me a little anxious.”
A video clip from an interview has resurfaced of actor Hina Altaf from Tabish Hashmi’s show To Be Honest. The talented performer can be heard sharing an incident with cricketer Fawad Alam.
The Udaari star mentioned at the show that once she interacteed with Fawad at Nida Yasir’s morning show and he asked her an awkward question. She said, “Usne mujhe on-air hi keh diya ke ap waqayi hi itni sharmili hain kya? (Are you actually so shy?”
The Dour diva recently opened up on why she doesn’t share personal pictures with her husband Aagha Ali on social media.
Responding to a follower, who asked her about this, Hina said: “A lot of people ask me the same question.”
“I don’t feel like posting anything or everything about our lives. Judgmental behaviour, people passing comments and assuming things on their own at times does not feel good,” continued the actor. “I like to keep my life a little private.”
Hina further said that she is not suggesting anyone to do the same, adding: “You are the boss of your own life, so you better do only what makes you happy.”
“And having professional life yet personal life which is not on display all the time makes me happy and at peace,” added Hina.
Meanwhile, Hina also gave a sneak peek into her life, saying: “I was in Lahore and my mother-in-law cooked amazing biryani.”
Hina and Ali, who gained popularity after their brilliant performance in the hit drama serial Dil-e-Gumshuda, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on May 22, 2020. The power couple is also hosting a show called The Couple Show, in which they chat with other couples from the industry about their lives.
Star-actor Neelam Muneer in an exclusive conversation with The Current, revealed why she rejected to play Shakra in Zahid Ahmed starrer Ishq Zah e Naseeb. The role later fell in stellar performer Yumna Zaidi’s lap.
“It was a very good project, the director (Farooq Rind) is amazing, it aired on HUM TV and was a proper package.”
She then spilled that the reason of turning it down was because there was a problem with her dates. She wasn’t available to shoot the project in the given time span. “There was a clash of dates and I felt I won’t be able to manage.”
Muneer concluded on this topic by saying, “Yumna did a very fine job in the drama, I did watch the show though.”
Last year, Yumna mentioned that her role in Ishq Zahe Naseeb was initially offered to Ayeza Khan and Neelam Munir who turned down the role as its screen time was less than the other female part played by Sonya Hussyn.
In the fun interview, Neelam also opened up about her traveling preferences with A-list actors Ahad Raza Mir, Bilal Abbas Khan and Sheheryar Munawar.
On being asked with which hero would she want to travel on a private jet, an auto-rickshaw or a car. The Wrong Number actress was given an option of these three actors.
She said, “Bilal ke saath auto pe, Ahad Raza Mir ke saath private jet pe chali jaungi and Sheheryar ke saath car pe.”
Seems like Neelam is fond of the Hum Tum star the most.
The Mere Meherbaan star also opened up on her alleged engagement. When asked if she is engaged, the Chakkar diva stated that although she wouldn’t mind getting married at this stage of her career, however there is no truth to this speculation.
“Maine koi hint nahi dia aisa, people are curious to know what is happening in my life so I responded to the fan on Instagram.”
However, the stunning actress mentioned that she wouldn’t mind marrying at the peak of her career as she thinks that it works.
The rumour mills went buzzing when the Qaid-e-Tanhai heroine responded with a shy-face emoticon to a netizen’s query on the same.
Senior actor Aijaz Aslam recently appeared with his wife Sabeen on The Couple Show hosted by Aagha Ali and Hina Altaf.
On being asked about a leading lady who has attitude problems, unprofessional and needs to work on her behaviour, the Nand star gave a shocking answer.
Aijaz named Urwa Hocane and stated, “Although I haven’t worked with her but I have heard (from friends and colleagues) that it is Urwa, she gets very angry on the sets, quickly loses her temper and even instructs the director on creative aspects.”
The hosting duo kept nodding while Aslam was talking, however Aagha mentioned later that he recently met the Tich Button diva at an event and felt that she was grounded.
Last year the Udaari star revealed that she regrets leaving Meray Paas Tum Ho after shooting a schedule of it.
Appearing on Vasay Chaudhry’s show Ghabrana Mana Hai, Urwa said: “It is one of my biggest regrets and yes I was offered the role of Miss Hania in Meray Paas Tum Ho.”
The actor further revealed that she had even shot a few scenes for the drama. During the show, Chaudhry also played a clip from the drama serial that featured Urwa and Humayun Saeed.
Urwa further shared: “After wrapping up my initial shoot, I started working on the production of my upcoming film Tich Button when Nadeem Baig called me and said that Mohammad Ahmed Sahab, who was playing the role of my father, has to leave for Canada so I had to spare a week to shoot my scenes with him.”
“At that point, it was impossible for me as I was so caught up in production work. So I had to leave the project because of the date clash and I regret my decision,” said the actor further.
Hira Mani was later roped in to play Miss Hania and the actor received a lot of applause for her performance. Meray Paas Tum Ho was a blockbuster hit breaking all records and the finale was even screened in cinemas with sold-out shows.
Meanwhile, Hocane also talked about her first venture as a producer Tich Button which features Farhan Saeed, Iman Aly, Sonya Hussayn and Feroze Khan.
“The film will be release, once the cinemas are fully operational again,” said Hocane.
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said today (March 4) that the Indian cricket team should visit Pakistan and play cricket here.
“Indians are still reeling from their loss to Pakistan in Dubai, they have not recovered yet,” said Fawad.
Last year, Pakistan defeated India for the first time in a World Cup fixture by 10 wickets on October 24 at the ICC Cricket T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai.
“The Indian cricket team should come to Pakistan and play cricket here. Instead of indulging in efforts to undermine and stop international cricket in Pakistan, India and Pakistan should support cricket in each other’s countries. I think we should leave aside our issues and instead sports should be prioritised,” said Fawad.
Fawad Chaudhry said that he wants cooperation between India and Pakistan in cricket, music and films.
“Some 65 per cent people did not vote for Modi. Why should they suffer due to Modi’s policies? We want more people-to-people contact between the two countries. I am sure there are voices in India that will denounce Modi’s extremism,” added Fawad Chaudhry.
Last month, Adviser to Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Commerce, Textile, Industry, and Production, and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood said that trade with India is the need of the hour and beneficial to both countries.
Sara Ali Khan recently appeared on Voot‘s chat show, where the Judwaa 2 actress revealed the reason of her parents’, Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s divorce. She stated on the show that her parents weren’t happy together and hence decided to part ways.
The Kedarnath star stated, “It’s very simple. If you see there are two options, either live in the same house where no one is happy or live separately, where everyone is happy with their own lives and you also get a different kind of love and warmth every time you meet.”
She continued talking about her relationship with them, saying: “I live with my mother. She’s my best friend and means everything to me. I have a father too who is always available on the phone and I can meet him whenever I want. I don’t think they were happy together ultimately, so I guess separating was the best decision at that time.”
“They both are happy in their own world and lives, because of that their kids are happy too. All of us are much happier than we would have been for sure. So, everything happens for a reason,” added the Simmba star.
Saif and Amrita tied the knot in 1991 and officially parted ways in 2004. The ex-flames have two children together Sara and Ibrahim.
On the work front, Sara will be seen next in Anand L Rai’s Atrangi Re opposite Akshay Kumar.
During Noor Mukadam’s funeral, her mother leaned on her daughter’s face and said, “I leave it in Allah’s hands, I leave it in Allah’s hands.” She kept repeating these words as she broke down during the last rights of her daughter, reportsBBCUrdu.
According to the report, the scenes at Noor Mukadam’s funeral were the same as when someone leaves the world. There were tents on the porch, outside. Men and women were in the drawing-room.
Noor’s mother was told much later what really transpired and how Noor died. She would ask if she [Noor Mukadam] had been shot, and everyone would say yes.
Noor’s father, former Pakistani diplomat Shaukat Mukadam, met everyone with great patience but tears began to roll down his eyes as he met the people who had come to pay their condolences to the family.
The friends who were present at the funeral were devasted and some of them told the BBC that Noor would have called for help many times but she was a soft-spoken person and her voice might not have been audible to others.
Shaukat Mukadam, while talking to the media earlier in the day said, “Zahir Jaffer is a person of a criminal mindset.”
“This is not a case where the suspect escaped. He was caught and caught with a weapon,” Mukadam said.
“My daughter was a very sweet and kind-hearted girl. Our family has been crying badly since yesterday,” he said.
“If such a person was employed as the director of a company, he is a registered therapist, his parents, too, must be made part of the investigation,” Mukadam said.
Mukadam said that he has served the country as an ambassador and only seeks justice. He wants justice from the prime minister and the courts.
Prime Minister Imran Khan’s aide Dr Shahbaz Gill went to pay his condolences at Noor Mukadam’s residence. Talking to the media, he urged the Opposition to pay their condolences to the family of the deceased.
He said, “I will urge our courts to not take Noor Mukadam’s case as a usual case and fulfill all the legal procedures in the case.”

“Every Pakistan is extremely saddened by the murder of Noor. Prime Minister Imran Khan has asked Inspector General Islamabad Qazi Jameel-ur-Rehman not to make any concessions while probing the murder of Noor Mukadam,” added Gill.
Gill said that the government is with the family of Noor and justice will be served at all costs.
He said, “Noor can never be brought back, but what can be done is justice.”
Noor Mukadam, 27, was shot and then beheaded, her post mortem report states that she was stabbed several times and then beheaded in Islamabad.
The incident took place on July 20 in F-7/4 in Islamabad, reportedly at the residence of Zahir Jaffer, who was arrested for Noor’s murder.
In a series of comments against the children of leaders, Jemima Khan spoke out against PML-N’s Maryam Nawaz for saying that her children were “being raised in the lap of the Jews”. She said that she left Pakistan 17 years ago, “after a decade of antisemitic attacks by the media and politicians (and weekly death threats and protests outside my house). But still it continues”.
My kids are “being raised in the lap of the Jews,” announced @MaryamNSharif today. I left Pakistan in 2004 after a decade of antisemitic attacks by the media & politicians (& weekly death threats & protests outside my house). But still it continues https://t.co/TGjUxfT1gC
Her comments came after Maryam Nawaz lashed out at PM Khan for mentioning her son. Commenting on Nawaz Sharif’s grandson Junaid Safdar’s pictures of playing a polo match in London, PM Khan said, “This grandson who is playing polo in Britain […] I’ve met so many Kashmiris in London and Manchester, ask them what kind of person can play polo there.”
“You need a lot of money to keep a horse and play polo. So tell us where this dear grandson got this money from. It’s your [the people’s] money!” he told the crowd.
عمران خان نے کم ظرفی دکھاتے ہوئے مریم نواز اور کیپٹن صفدر کے بیٹے پر الزام تراشی کی تو مریم نوازشریف نے جیسا عمران خان کا منہ ہے ویسا ہے زناٹے دار تھپڑ مارا pic.twitter.com/NSaOKwB93v
The next day, Maryam addressed his comments about her son in her speech and said, “[Junaid] is now the polo team captain and is increasing Pakistan’s respect [abroad]. [Imran] says ‘that grandson’ is going abroad and playing polo, he doesn’t even spare children,” she jibed. “He says, ‘where did he get the money to play polo’.
“I didn’t want to bring children into it, but the way you’re talking, you’re going to get a befitting reply,” she said.
“He’s Nawaz Sharif’s grandson, not Goldsmith’s. He’s Nawaz Sharif’s grandson, he’s not being raised in the lap of Jews,” added Maryam.
Jemima’s reply to Maryam came after referring to an article on how politicians need to keep children out of politics.
