This marks the first time Wahab Bugti and Saibaan have collaborated with an Indian or any foreign singer.

Similarly, Sindhi folk singer Saibaan, who gained fame with the Coke Studio song ‘Aayi Aayi,’ collaborated with Honey Singh on the song ‘Rap God.’ ‘Rap God’ is a mix of Hindi, Punjabi, English, and Sindhi, among other languages, with Saibaan singing folk verses in Sindhi.

Both Pakistani singers contributed to Honey Singh’s music album ‘Glory.’ The album features 18 songs, with artists from around the world singing alongside him. However, no music videos were released immediately.

The audio of the album, released under the T-Series label, has been well received.

Wahab Bugti, who hails from the city of Sibi in Balochistan province, rose to fame with the Balochi song ‘Kana Yaari’ from Coke Studio Season 14.

Similarly, Saibaan, who is from Thar, a desert region of Sindh province, gained recognition for singing the Sindhi song ‘Aayi Aayi’ in Coke Studio Season 15.

Senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanullah has told Geo News’ Shehzad Iqbal, that they “must admit that Imran Khan has resisted and survived jail, which we did not expect.”

The journalist asked Advisor Sanaullah about PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi’s recent allegation that the former Prime Minister was being provided with drugs in Adiala Jail. Rana replied, “I have heard the rumors as well, but one thing I must admit is that Khan is surviving in jail, which I did not expect from him.”

Rana Sanaullah also stated that Khan’s incarceration has nothing to do with whether he allegedly needs drugs or not because “surviving in a jail requires other things which I did not think Imran Khan had in him.”

It’s been weeks since javelin star Arshad Nadeem won a gold medal at Paris Olympics 2024, and Pakistanis are still not over it. He broke over a 100-year Olympic record with his historic 92.97 metre throw.

With dedication and hard work, Arshad aimed for the stars, and Indus Motor Company (IMC) supported his dream from 2023.

Concern Beyond Cars is IMC’s social responsibility program which endeavours to create an inclusive society where no one’s dream fades by dawn.

And this year, to pay homage to the young Olympian, Indus Motor Company (IMC) has presented Arshad Nadeem with its premium Toyota Fortuner GRS, as a token to commemorate his monumental victory with a personalised registered number plate of ANO 9297 for his Fortuner GRS.

“I am thankful for Toyota for sponsoring me way before the Paris Olympics 2024 and provided constant support to me. My biggest sponsor is Toyota Pakistan and no matter how much I praise them, it won’t be enough for the support they gave me. I want to thank the team of Toyota Pakistan. Just like I made the name of Pakistan proud globally, it also gives me immense pride and happiness to see how Toyota is globally recognized as well,” Arshad Nadeem extended his gratitude.

IMCs Chief Executive, Ali Asghar Jamali expressed, “We’re thrilled to have Arshad Nadeem here amongst us and the entire IMC team has turned up to catch a glimpse of their Olympic hero. His gold Olympic win is big news for Pakistan and taken the country by storm. Every Pakistani is absolutely overjoyed and there’s every reason, as what Arshad has achieved is no small feat on all counts. Our conviction to provide opportunities to emerging sportsmen has been a pillar of strength for many who have done Pakistan proud.”

He further shared, “Our Toyota Fortuner is a pure testament of believing in local and entrusting it to make a mark on the global front, just like Arshad Nadeem did. The Toyota Fortuner is known for its cutting-edge technology, superior performance, and reliability. This is a fitting reward for an athlete who embodies determination, resilience, and excellence. We wish Arshad the very best for the future.”

The second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, scheduled for Karachi from August 30 to September 3, has been shifted to Rawalpindi.

A statement issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) states that both Test matches of the home series will now be played in Rawalpindi.

As per the schedule, the first test will start on August 21 and the second test on August 30. The test match has been transferred due to the construction work for the Champions Trophy 2025 at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi.

This decision was made after consultation with construction experts and all stakeholders.

A few days ago, PCB had announced that the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh would be played in Karachi from August 30 to September 3 and would have been played without spectators.

The price of gold in Pakistan surged past Rs260,000 per tola for the first time, driven by increasing expectations of a potential interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in September. The 24-karat gold rate rose by Rs2,500, reaching Rs260,200 per tola.

According to the Karachi Sarafa Association, today’s price is kept significantly lower by Rs4,500 than its actual value.

On the international stage, spot gold saw a 3.1 per cent increase this week, reaching $2,507 per ounce. The precious metal has gained over 20 per cent this year, fueled by growing expectations of monetary easing and significant purchases by central banks.

In the domestic market, the price of 24-karat gold was quoted at Rs223,080 per 10 grammes, reflecting an increase of Rs2,144. Similarly, the price of 22-karat gold rose to Rs204,490 per 10 grammes.

Silver prices also climbed in the domestic market, with 24-karat silver selling at Rs2,950 per tola, an increase of Rs50, and Rs2,529 per 10 grammes, up by Rs43.

Social activist and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s ex-wife Jemima Khan has revealed that she had to block emails from Pakistan due to cyber-harassment.

Jemima posted a statement on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), blaming Imran Khan’s opponents for allegedly harassing her.

She wrote, “To friends in Pakistan legitimately trying to contact me. I have had to block all emails from Pakistan thanks to a cyber harassment operation, no doubt instigated by PTI’s desperate opponents. As Twitter/ X is banned in Pakistan by said desperate opponents, only those with VPNs will see this.”

“Pakistani politics… the gift that keeps giving, even after leaving the country 20 years ago.”

Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supporters have staged protests outside Jemima Goldsmith’s mother’s house in the preceding few years as PTI supporters staged daily protests outside Nawaz Sharif’s home.

PML-N supporters said it was retaliation for the PTI’s frequent protests outside Avenfield House, where Nawaz Sharif resided.

Jemima and Imran are parents to two sons, Sulaiman Isa Khan and Kasim Khan.

The second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh will be played in Karachi without spectators.

According to a statement issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh will be played from (August 30 to September 3).

PCB is currently focused on hosting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and upgrading the stadium, as it is Pakistan’s first major tournament since 1996.
