    ‘Highlight previous history of PML-N as to how the party attacked judiciary’: PM Khan

    During a meeting with his spokespersons, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Monday said the alleged audio leak of former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar was devised by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). 

    He instructed his spokespersons to highlight the previous history of the PML-N as to how the party had attacked the judiciary and maligned judges. Other updates on the audio leak:

    Samaa TV, a private news channel, ran a news story and claimed that the former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar’s clip appears to be pieced together from two of his separate speeches.I don’t know what the truth is but if the audio is fabricated, then the government must initiate an inquiry.

    ‘Tea is fantastic’ Abhinandan awarded India’s third-highest gallantry medal

    Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, who was captured by Pakistan in 2019 after his MiG 21 Bison aircraft was shot down by a Pakistan Air Force jet, and later returned to India — was awarded India’s third-highest gallantry medal on Monday. 

    According to the report, the citation for the award stated: “Wing Commander Abhinandan showed conspicuous courage, demonstrated gallantry in the face of the enemy while disregarding personal safety and displayed [an] exceptional sense of duty.”

    Pakistani Twitterati’s reaction: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Vice President Sherry Rehman tweeted, “Is this for real? Award for drinking tea in Pakistani custody?”

    All petrol pumps will be closed as petroleum dealers announce strike on Nov 25.

    The Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association has announced a countrywide strike on November 25 for selling petrol “on low-profit margins”. 

    What did they say?The association’s spokesperson said that all petrol pumps across the country, including Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, will remain closed on November 25 (Thursday).

    He said the strike could extend to an “unspecified period” if the government continues to ignore the association’s demands.

    PPDA Chairman Abdul Sami Khan said petroleum dealers have been in a difficult position due to the high cost of business and low margins. He said that the government guarantees a margin of only two per cent on sales of fuel oil in the face of rising electricity tariffs.

    “We demand the government to cancel our petrol pumps licences. Nearly 50 per cent of the petrol pumps will close down permanently with licence cancellation as no one will reapply for acquisition”.

    Background:Previously, the association had made a similar announcement for November 5 but withdrew after a team from the government agreed to increase margins on the sale of petroleum products by six per cent.
    However, there has been no progress ever since.

    Taliban ban women from acting in dramas

    Afghanistan’s Taliban leadership has set new laws prohibiting women from acting in television shows. Female journalists and presenters are likewise required to wear headscarves when on camera. However, no guidelines have been issued regarding which type of covering to use.

    Details: The restrictions include the banning of films considered against the principles of Sharia – or Islamic law — and Afghan values, while footage of men exposing intimate parts of the body is also prohibited.

    Comedy and entertainment shows that insults the religion or may be considered offensive to Afghans are banned under the new laws.

    Background: Earlier in September, Taliban laid special conditions for women. “[Here are] some special conditions that exist only for women. One is that the colour of their dress should not be very attractive. So that it does not attract people’s attention,” said a member of the Taliban on Afghanistan’s TOLO News, as per the subtitles of a video that went viral on social media.

  • Joint session of Parliament today, govt confident about getting bills passed

    The government appears confident of getting all its bills passed in the much-awaited joint session of Parliament on Wednesday (today).

    The joint session has been summoned by President Arif Alvi today at 12pm.

    The government is looking forward to passing more than two dozen bills including the ones on electoral reforms and National Accountability Bureau (NAB) ordinances.

    In response, the joint Opposition will resist the government and stop it from legislating what they call “black laws”.

    According to party position, the number of Opposition members in the 440-member joint house comes to 219 against 221 treasury members.

    It may be recalled that the government had previously postponed the joint sitting after its allies, the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement- Pakistan (MQM-P), expressed their reservations over the proposed electoral reforms bills regarding the use of the electronic voting machine (EVM) and the introduction of i-voting for overseas Pakistanis in the next election.

  • Former CJ’s son throws father under the bus, makes shocking revelations

    Former CJ’s son throws father under the bus, makes shocking revelations

    Allegations against the Former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar by Former Chief Justice (CJ) of Gilgit-Baltistan Justice (retd) Rana Shamim regarding Nisar’s direction to a high court judge not to release Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz on bail at any cost before the 2018 general elections surfaced on November 15.

     Rana Mohammad Shamim’s son and Supreme Court advocate Ahmed Hassan Rana appeared in Geo News programme, ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath’ last night to discuss the allegations as his father’s son and lawyer.

    In a truly bizarre interview, Advocate Rana refused to answer any questions on his father’s behalf saying that he himself was serving as the Punjab assistant advocate general at the time of Nawaz’s arrest in 2018 and also met the PML-N leader in jail.

    While describing his relation with his father, Rana said he has to go play snooker at 10 pm, and his wife will ask for permission on his behalf at 09:45 pm from his father. He also questioned the host, asking if Shahzeb has to take permission from his father if he has to go out late at night. To which the anchor said no, he does not ask for permission from his father.

    He continued by adding that “I expressed my anger to my father when he asked me how I would take a date for a hearing”. Shahzeb further asked Rana if he asked his father about the affidavit, to which he said, “Aap mujhe aur sharminda krne chahte hain?” [Do you want to embarrass me further?] adding that I will only speak on what has been told to me by father. He then called his father on live television, asking if his father wanted to comment, to which his father replied, “No comments”.

    Shahzeb asked Rana if he knows when his father last met Nawaz Sharif. To which Rana said he did not even know about the affidavit. However, he said that as per his knowledge, his father went to England before the Covid-19 pandemic began and thats when his father met Nawaz Sharif, adding that his father had direct contact with Nawaz.He also said that his father has served as a lawyer of the Former Prime Minister in the past. Rana, during the show, mentioned several times that his father and Nawaz Sharif were friends.

    Shahzeb further asked why his father stayed quiet for four years and only spoke three days before the hearing of Maryam Nawaz Sharif and if it was because he wants Nawaz Sharif to get relief, considering his personal relationship with Nawaz. Rana did not give any clear answer to the question.

    Rana also read a text he received from his father during the show, which read, “According to my knowledge the affidavit statement was never handed over to any journalist, it may have leaked from notary public office.”

    He also added, that his father would appear before the IHC on November 26.
