    Aamir replied that the answer will soon come from the skies. He also took a jibe at PTI by saying that there is justice on the skies and not Tehreek-e-Insaaf.

    The veteran host stated recently stated that sources from FIA have informed him that PTI’s social media team is behind his character assassination on social media to make Imran Khan happy as he was upset with Liaquat for ditching PTI at a crucial stage.

    Aamir also dragged Fawad Chaudhry’s name in the matter and stated that he overlooks the social media department.

    The Current reached out to Former focal person on digital media to former PM Khan, Dr Arsalan Khalid who dismissed these claims and exclusively said, “Aamir is so irrelevant that we don’t even think about him.”

    Prior to his seperation with Dania Shah, he published a video message against Khan.

    Aamir claimed that ever since Imran has met Russian President Vladimir Putin, he has become like him, adding adjectives like “stubborn, ill-mannered and rebellious.

    ‘The proposed budget has measures to give relief to the common man’: CM Buzdar
    
			
    The Punjab government on Monday approved the proposed budget for the fiscal year 2021-22 today with an estimated total budget outlay of Rs2.653 trillion, including an Annual Development Programme (ADP) worth Rs560 billion.
    

    The budget session was the first one in the newly-constructed building of the Punjab Assembly. The total outlay of the budget has increased by more than 18% and the development budget has gained 66% compared with the current fiscal year.
    

    The Punjab Cabinet also approved the much-anticipated 10% increase in salaries and pension of provincial employees and also green-lighted the decision to increase the minimum wage of workers from Rs17,500 to Rs20,000.
    

    The Chief Minister of Punjab Usman Buzdar said that the budget is not a “magic of statistics” but is a document based on development.
    

    Taking a jibe at the Opposition, Buzdar said: “The job of the incompetent and failed Opposition is just to make noise. Criticising the government’s positive policies only for the sake of criticising make them look bad.”
    

    In the cabinet meeting, the Board of Revenue proposed to increase the agricultural tax. However, CM Buzdar and the Punjab Cabinet unanimously rejected the suggestion.
    

    “The proposed budget has measures to give relief to the common man,” CM Buzdar. “All targets are realistic and all priorities have been set in accordance with the needs of the masses.”

    Govt will complete its term: CM Punjab
    
			
    Chief Minister (CM) Punjab Usman Buzdar on Wednesday said that the government will definitely complete five years and the next general elections will be held in 2023. Talking to Punjab cabinet members and Punjab Assembly parliamentarians, CM Punjab said that Punjab is significantly ahead of all other provinces. Buzdar said that the politics of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is over. He added that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is spending money on backward areas as well, and not just Lahore. “People only want development and prosperity, the PTI government is pursuing equal development of every city,” added Buzdar.
    

    CM Punjab’s statement comes a day after analyst Sabir Shakir’s video went viral on social media where Shakir claims that the government will not complete its tenure and new elections will be held soon.

    VIDEO: Buzdar’s decision to sack Chohan takes him by surprise
    
			
    Former Punjab information minister Fayyazul Hassan was removed from his post without prior intimation, as the minister appeared clueless when a journalist asked him about his removal.
    

    In a video, a journalist asked the provincial minister to comment on the latest changes in the Punjab cabinet that saw him lose his portfolio. At this, Chohan feigned ignorance and said he had no idea what the journalist was talking about.
    

    

    


    

    

    

    “Sir, we have just received information that Firdous Ashiq Awan has been appointed special assistant to the chief minister and the portfolio [of information minister] has been taken from you,” says another reporter.
    

    “I don’t know anything about this,” responds Chohan. “Bhai, I am telling you, I don’t know anything about this,” reiterated the minister.
    

    Firdous Ashiq Awan, who was prime minister’s special assistant on information, replaced Chohan as the Punjab CM’s mouthpiece on Monday. According to reports, Awan was appointed by CM Usman Buzdar on the directives of PM Imran Khan after his visit to the provincial capital last week.
    

    Chohan, however, will remain in the cabinet as Minister for Colonies. This is the second time that Chohan has been removed as minister for information. He was sacked by the CM last time for making remarks against the minority Hindu community. 
    

    In a tweet on Tuesday, Chohan commented on his removal and said whatever happens it happens for the best. According to Chohan, his removal “must have made the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and India’s Major (r) Guarav happy”.
    

    

    


    

    

    

    He said he was unfazed by the sacking and would continue to call out the opposition over its alleged corruption.
