In a detailed note posted to social media, Zoya said that Christian’s change in stance towards her “culture, country, people and insensitivity towards [her] religion” led her to “take this difficult and irrevocable decision”. 

“It’s with a heavy heart I’m announcing that Christian Betzmann and I are no longer engaged to be married,” wrote Zoya on Instagram. “There are certain religious and social boundaries

Prime Minister Imran Khan inaugurated a low-cost housing colony for labourers and industrial workers on Wednesday. 

The PM said the housing scheme for workers in Peshawar was launched in 2011 but it remained incomplete since it was not a priority because it was meant for the poor labourers. He said he wanted to see how much the condition of the poor had improved after the five-year tenure of the PTI government.  

 This new project has now been put under the ‘Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme’. 

However, a report by Journalist Izharullah sets the record straight about the origins of the scheme. 

Check out the story for more details.

Kal former best friend of PM Khan who has been implicated in the sugar mafia case, Jahangir Tareen ne alag group banane ki news announce kardi. Jiske baad se PTI ministers and supporters are expressing their solidarity with Prime Minister Imran Khan by tweeting that they stand with Khan. Some are saying that PTI is only about Imran Khan, which is quite problematic because political party in a democracy should not revolve around one person only.  Do you agree?

 Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf (PTI) has no place for people who do not trust Prime Minister Imran Khan. 

On the other hand, Tareen has now denied reports that he was forming a forward bloc in the party saying, “We were part of PTI, and we will continue to remain part of PTI.”

Tareen said that his supporters had decided to form a separate group after the Punjab government initiated “vengeful actions” against them. 

According to reports, Christian boys were beaten in a Muslim-majority village in the Okara district of Punjab following which a mob of villagers attacked the Christian community in the area. Some reports claim that 200 people attacked the house of the family. 

 Mahira Khan and Osman Khalid Butt have urged the government to pay attention to the matter.
