    Bilal Qureshi worried for Imran Khan’s health after a dream

    Actor and model Bilal Qureshi took to social media to express his concern about former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s health after a troubling dream.

    Qureshi posted a story on Instagram with the caption: “I saw IMRAN KHAN in my dream and He is not in good condition ☹️ May ALLAH always bless him with good health.”

    A few months ago, Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, also voiced her concerns on X (formerly Twitter) regarding her brother’s safety while he is incarcerated in Adiala Jail.

    She wrote: “Imran Khan informed us in jail: “I am concerned that they have suddenly changed my security guards at midnight.” When asked, he was told they that they had gone on leave for 2 months.” 

  • Political stability cannot be achieved with rigged elections, says Shahid Khaqan Abbasi

    Political stability cannot be achieved with rigged elections, says Shahid Khaqan Abbasi

    The Awam Pakistan (AP) party convener, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, has stated that political stability cannot be achieved in a country with rigged elections.

    “Every system in the world has been tried in this country, and now it’s time to turn to the Constitution,” the former Prime Minister said during the launch of the ‘Foundation and Vision Document’ event for the (AP) manifesto.

    “The country doesn’t function because no one adheres to their oaths,” he opined.
    While talking about the economy, he noted, “The state of the economy today is the same as it was ten years ago.”
    Abbasi mentioned that Independent Power Producers (IPPs) might be an issue, but the real problem is the economy’s failure.
    Former finance minister Miftah Ismail was also present at the event. He said the National Finance Commission (NFC) Award should be reviewed.

    “The government is providing Rs 109 billion to cover the losses of the railways. We bear these losses because the railways operate for the benefit of its employees and officers, not for the public,” he added

  • Who does Khan trust the most in PTI?

    Who does Khan trust the most in PTI?

    Imran Khan revealed the names while speaking to journalists in Adiala jail on Monday.

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) designated three PTI members, including Chief Misinter Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Ali Amin Gandapur and opposition leaders Omar Ayub and Shibli Faraz to talk with the military establishment.

    The former prime minister and PTI founder, Imran Khan, confirmed the names of these three individuals while speaking to journalists in Adiala jail during the hearing of the £190m corruption case.

    On the question of holding talks with establishment, the former prime minister said: “I have authorised Ali Amin, Omar Ayub, and Shibli Faraz for these dialogues.”

    Khan also made it clear in front of the media that only these three PTI leaders are designated to talk with the military establishment.

    Imran Khan also told journalists that he never disrespected state institutions, despite court orders asking him not speaking against them. He also said that these directives from the court are against his fundamental rights protected by the Constitution.

    Imran claimed that confusion regarding the name of the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will end today.

  • Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is making a new party

    Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is making a new party

    Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has made headlines by announcing the launch of a new political party, emphasizing the importance of avoiding accusations of corruption among political factions.

    In a media interaction addressing the prevailing political scenario, Shahid Khaqan underscored the absence of constructive dialogue on Pakistan’s issues within existing political circles. He cited this deficiency as the driving force behind his decision to establish a new political entity.

    During his conversation with the media, the former prime minister lamented the lack of discourse on the nation’s challenges by established political parties. He noted that even during the recent election campaigns, pertinent issues facing Pakistan were not adequately discussed.

    The former prime minister further said that political parties are talking about national issues. ‘We all have to stop calling each other corrupt’, he highlighted.

    Speaking to the media, he said that the February 8 election has become such a controversial election that it will harm the country, because when people lose confidence in the system, then there is only harm.

    Abbasi said that the condition of the election is that even the winners have lost today. The only solution is that if all the stakeholders sit together, then the country will move forward otherwise there will be loss.

    It is pertinent to mention that Abbasi resigned as Senior Vice President (SVP) of the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) in February 2023 and pledged to work for the country’s well-being through the forum of ‘Reimagining Pakistan’.

    At that time he dismissed claims of advocating for a second extension for former army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa, revealing that he had advised Nawaz Sharif during a London visit that resigning from the government would be preferable to succumbing to pressure for an extension.

    ‘Jootay se bhi baat aagaye jayegi,’ Khaqan Abbasi won’t apologise for threatening Speaker NA

    Former Prime Minister, Khaqan Abbasi was served a show cause notice on Wednesday for threatening to hit Speaker of the National Assembly, Asad Qaiser with a shoe during an assembly session. During the session Khaqan Abbasi and the Speaker got into an argument over Abbasi’s turn on speaking on the issue of banned TLP’s demand to expel the French Ambassador.

    After the notice to apologise in seven days, Abbasi said that he only seeks forgiveness from Allah and no one else. On Thursday night, on GEO News’ programme Capital Talk, he told anchorperson Hamid Mir that if he wants to speak on the issue, he challenges the Speaker to stop him from speaking. If the Speaker tries to stop him, the same thing would happen again. When Mir stopped him to say that “you have been the Prime Minister, how can you say such a thing? Will you throw a shoe?” Abbasi replied, “It will be worse than throwing a shoe.” He said he is also nominated in two cases.

    He has said that he will respond to the show cause notice but has not stated whether he will apologise or not.
