It has been alleged that Punjab University has cancelled the degree of the student who is the main organizer of the students solidarity march.

Activist Ammar Ali Jan took to twitter and wrote that “Hasnain, who was an M.Phil student of political science at Punjab University, has had his degree canceled”, adding that targeting Jameel was proof of the fact that the university administrations were afraid of the rising power of students.

Journalist Rabia Mehmood has stated on Twitter that the student was never given a warning. He was also barred from entering Punjab University’s campus.

In a viral video, Hasnain Jameel, was seen playing the drums with his friends singing  ‘Sarfaroshi ki tamana’ during the campaign for the march at the Faiz International Festival.

Not entirely true

According to PU mouthpiece, the student has been declared persona non grata. He has 15 days to challenge the “indiscriminate” decision also taken against Jamiat students in light of campus unrest earlier this year. He can seek an apology, but might not even need to do so since he is from an earlier session of MPhil.

The University of Balochistan banned all political activities and gatherings on campus. A notification, issued by the governor secretariat, ordered the university’s chancellor not to allow any political activities and gatherings on the university campus.

According to reports, the action was taken to avoid disturbance in the conductive environment of the campus. The governor has ordered the university chancellor and management to follow the orders strictly.

It is pertinent to mention that the notification has been delivered three days before the Student Solidarity March which is scheduled to take place across the country on November 29. The march demands better education and a fair academic environment. One of its most important demands is the elimination of the rule binding students not to take part in on-campus politics.

This decision has again put the university in the spotlight. Earlier in October 2019, students claimed that CCTV cameras were installed by the university admin to blackmail them.

Staff members even exposed that secret cameras were placed inside switchboards and keyboards to check the students’ activities. After widespread criticism, Prof Dr. Javed Iqbal, the former vice-chancellor
of the university, stepped down from his post until the Federal Investigation
Agency completes its inquiry.

Meanwhile, the university was also embroiled in a harassment issue, following which, it made compulsory for students to wear uniforms as a measure to control harassment. The Balochistan High Court chief justice had instructed the university administration to make uniforms compulsory for students.

According to the BBC, a US teenager’s TikTok video clip accusing China of putting Muslims into “concentration camps” has gone viral on the social network, which is — ironically — Chinese-owned.

The post appears to be about beauty tips at its start — like a lesson on how to get long lashes but the young woman then changes tack to ask her viewers to raise awareness.

Feroza Aziz also tweeted that TikTok had blocked her from posting new content, as a result.

TikTok, however, has denied this claim. The Chinese government has consistently said the camps in question offer voluntary education and training.

Between Sunday and Monday, Ms Aziz posted three videos about China’s treatment of the Uighur Muslims.

The first has been watched more than 1.4 million times and “liked” nearly 500,000 times on the app.
A copy uploaded to Twitter by other TikTok users has attracted a further five million views. And further copies have been posted to YouTube and Instagram.

According to a survey carried out by Gallup & Gilani Pakistan, 47% Pakistanis claim that biryani is their favourite Pakistani dish. Now its time to know the health benefits of biryani. Although biryani is high in calories, it also has some health benefits that we all need to know.

Helps in digestion

The spices in biryani help in improving the digestive system of the body. The various spices, especially cumin, turmeric, and ginger, helps with easy digestion. Cumin can speed up the digestive enzymes, turmeric helps reduce gas and treats irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and ginger prevents nausea and other irregularities in the body that make one sick.

Detoxifies Internal Organs

Biryani contains spices that are known as a successful antioxidant to the internal organs. These spices include turmeric, black pepper, cumin, ginger and garlic. Cumin or curcumin has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor as well as antiviral properties, which makes it an all-in-one cleansing spice. Black pepper eases digestion, whereas ginger works as a natural antioxidant as well as to cure digestive problems. 

 All the main nutrients in one meal

One plate of chicken biryani has protein, carbohydrates and fats in one serving. Protein is represented through chicken meat, carbohydrate comes from the rice, and the fat comes from the oil used. Vitamins and minerals can also be present if different veggies are added or if you prefer to make a vegetarian biryani.

Recommendations

Frequent consumption of  biryani is likely to cause the health risks of obesity or cholesterol. So treat chicken biryani as a once-in-a-while treat.

To reduce
fat after eating chicken biryani, it is best to have herbal tea or warm water
as its beverage

Try
to insert vegetables such as carrots, spinach, mint leaves or cauliflower to
bring more fibre and other nutrients.

Ali Gul Pir is back with a new rap song, Karle Jo Karna Hai that directly challenges a famous Pakistani singer-actor who has been accused of sexual harassment. While the comedian doesn’t really take anyone’s name, he gives clear hint.

“Chup nahi baithunga, sab kuch mai keh dunga”, the rapper sends the message that nothing will stop his freedom of expression and the song includes some very specific lyrics about a ‘legal notice’ that won’t stop him from sharing his opinion.

Ali was throwing shade at a legal notice issued to the star, as well as 15 others for allegedly making derogatory remarks about Ali Zafar. In a statement released in August, he wrote, “In Pakistan, some people have so much power that they try to silence you if you don’t agree with them.”

Wearing a ‘Super Sindhi’ ajrak jacket, he mentions the person he is attacking as ‘Teefa’, then goes on to say that the person gets invited on award shows. (Ali Zafar was nominated for his movie Teefa in trouble at Lux style awards and people had called for a boycott of the awards due to the harassment allegations)

Ek joke se tera ego toota (One joke breaks your ego), the song says and that “person” takes the support of old songs to become famous. Ali Gul Pir ends the song with “I’m calling this song Channo Ki Maut”. Ali is ready to take the open challenge and is even willing to go to jail.

Figure skating is not very common in Pakistan, but this young girl from Pakistan pursued her dream of becoming a professional figure skater despite the very little facilities in the country.

At the age of 5, Mallak Faisal Zafar started figure skating and has now won her first international award in Austria.

Mallak won the first position in the Basic Novice Girls II category at the 24th International Eiscup Innsbruck 2019 for her fine display during the 2-day event.

Over 200 participants from Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and a number of other countries competed at this popular Interclub Singles Competition for Seniors, Juniors, Advanced Novice, Intermediate Novice, Basic Novice, Cubs and Chicks.

The athlete’s ultimate goal is to represent Pakistan at the Winter Olympics.

Watch Video:

Indian rapper and actress Taran Kaur Dhillon, better known as Hard Kaur, received a lot of backlash on social media after she released a new rap song From Kashmir to Khalistan dedicated to the people of occupied Kashmir and the Sikh minority of Hindu-majority India.

“As artists we shouldn’t be pressured into making club bangers and commercial songs all the time,” she reportedly said after her new video was released.

“A real artist needs to be respected for his freedom of expression. When that’s overtaken with business and money it puts very difficult choices in front of an artist. [This song] it’s my way of raising awareness as an artist through my music. Being a Sikh, I must stand up against oppression and protect humanity especially when it’s my land, my people, my country”, the rapper added. 

The Indian rapper has been very vocal about the human rights abuses being carried out by the government of Indian under Prime Minister Narendra Modi in occupied Kashmir and also about the oppression of minorities in India.

Earlier this year, authorities in India had charged the United Kingdom-based rapper with sedition after she posted some comments on social media against the extremist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat and Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

As per reports, the social media accounts of Hard Kaur were blocked in India soon afterward.

Watch the song here:

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Shaukat Yousafzai has suggested the public to use yogurt instead of tomatoes, which recently crossed Rs300 per kg in the domestic market. He advised the public to stop buying the overpriced tomatoes and use yogurt as its replacement in their daily meals.

Video shows minster saying “We have stopped using tomatoes in our meals, we use yogurt instead. You should also stop using it until its prices come down to a normal level. It all depends on demand and supply … prices will go up due to increased demand and when you stop using it then automatically prices will decrease”

The video came after the price of tomatoes skyrocketed and the price control committees failed to enforce the government-approved rates throughout the country.
