Indian forces lodge FIR against Pakistani spy pigeon
Indian forces have claimed to have captured another ‘Pakistani spy pigeon’ near Kahagargh, Amristar.
As per the report, the pigeon was allegedly carrying a “suspicious piece of paper tied to its legs” when it landed on the shoulder of an Indian army officer who was on guard duty about 500 meters from the border.
A First Information Report (FIR) has been lodged in Kahagarh police station in Amritsar against the intrusion of pigeon.
Last year in May, Indian forces were engaged in the same operation when a pigeon with a pink patch and tag on its leg was captured as a “suspected Pakistani spy.”
As per the police record, the pigeon had flown into the house of women living in the Chadwal area of Amritsar, who then caught the pigeon and handed it over to the police for investigation.
Allegedly, Pakistani spy pigeons have been trespassing the Indian borders regularly since early 2015.

PM’s Deleted Bollywood Post?
*|MC:SUBJECT|*
Good Morning,*|MERGE1|*!It’s Wednesday, April 21. ?It was around 11 am in the morning when my Amma came to pick me up from school, and like any other child, I was happy about leaving early. It was 2006 and people were protesting on the roads against the blasphemous Danish cartoons that were published in Denmark. This was my first encounter with such protests.It’s 2021, and people sitting in parliament are playing the religious card against each other and accusing each other of being a lesser Muslim.
Well, the news was not really positive today either unless you live in a parallel universe like Rohail Hyatt. ?
It will rain again in Lahore and Islamabad, and sunny in other major cities!

During the session a resolution related to a debate pertaining to this issue was tabled by a PTI lawmaker.The resolution came after a series of meetings with the TLP and the government.

Senior journalist and former chairman Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) Absar Alam was shot in Islamabad yesterday evening.Absar recorded a video on his way to the hospital after being shot. He says he was shot in the stomach and is heading to the hospital and he will not lose hope.
It is still unclear who was behind the attack. There is a certain pattern of reactions we see when any journalist is attacked; one of those reactions we see is that the person faked or planned their own attack. I don’t get it how can someone plan an attack on themselves? And why would they? This is just preposterous. Such reactions are highly insensitive.
People who blame victims in these situations lack nothing but empathy.
As per the official Twitter account of Islamabad Police, a team has been directed to use all scientific and forensic methods to trace the accused involved in the incident.

Tehreek-e-Labbaik to be banned
Federal Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed has announced that a summary seeking banning of hardliner Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) will be forwarded to the federal cabinet.
“We have taken the decision to ban TLP under Section 11(B) of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997,” he was quoted as saying.
Under said law, the federal government can ban an organisation if it has reason to believe that the same is involved in terrorism.
Earlier, the ban had been proposed to the Interior Ministry by Punjab government as Labbaik activists wreaked havoc with countrywide violent protests against the arrest of party chief Saad Rizvi.
The riots have resulted in deaths of at least three cops in three days.
THE PROTESTS:
As per details of the protests, violence began late on Monday after police arrested Rizvi for threatening protests if the government did not expel the French ambassador, Marc Baréty, over blasphemous cartoons.
According to police, the arrest was aimed at maintaining law and order. But Rizvi’s detention quickly sparked violent protests by Islamists in cities around the country. The protesters blocked highways and roads in several cities.
The deadly clashes came two days after Rizvi in a statement asked the government of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan to “honour” a commitment it made in February to his party to expel Baréty before April 20.
However, the government has said it only committed to discussing the matter in the National Assembly.
The reaction from Rizvi’s supporters against his arrest was so swift that police in Lahore could not clear a main highway and roads. Thousands of people were stranded in their vehicles.
Monday’s clashes initially erupted in Lahore. Rizvi’s supporters later clashed with police in Karachi and they continued rallying on the outskirts of Islamabad, disrupting traffic and inconveniencing residents.
Reportedly, five TLP workers have also died with hundreds of both cops and activists injured. Property losses have also been reported.
It may be noted that the ban comes amid demands for the same by the general public as well as officials of government departments including the police.

Atif Mian awarded prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in Economics
The prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in Economics has been awarded to Pakistan’s Dr Atif Mian this year.
Dr Mian is the co-founder and a board member of the Center of Economic Research Pakistan (CERP). He is currently a Professor of Economics, Public Policy, and Finance at the prestigious Princeton University.
The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation awards the Guggenheim Fellowship to exceptional individuals who have already demonstrated exceptional ability and creativity in academics.
The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation was established in 1925. It has granted nearly $400 million in Fellowships to over 18,000 individuals.
Out of 18,000, 125 are Nobel laureates, members of all the national academies, winners of the Pulitzer Prize, Fields Medal, Turing Award, Bancroft Prize, National Book Award, and other internationally recognised honours.
Dr Mian was appointed as an advisor in the Economic Advisory Council (EAC) by Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan in-add-date, but was removed following backlash and criticism by extremist religious groups on the government for appointing a person from the Ahmadi faith. His removal on September 7, 2018 prompted council members Asim Ijaz Khwaja and Imran Rasul to resign in protest.
