In a step that could be seen as players’ and teams’ vote of no confidence against Ashfaq Shah, the players of Karachi United and Highlanders Football Club have announced their decision to withdraw from the ongoing National Women Football Championship after the Ashfaq-led-group refused to hand over Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) offices back to the normalisation committee.
While Ashfaq group’s act may lead Pakistan to a suspension from FIFA, both clubs say that they do not support the incidents that took place at PFF last weekend and have decided not to play under the Ashfaq-led setup in protest.
Karachi United FC, which was scheduled to play against WAPDA Thursday morning in the semifinal, posted their decision on the club’s social media page, saying that given the prevailing circumstances and based on the decision of players, Karachi United has decided to withdraw its women’s team from the National Championship.
The statement added that while the team had played its quarter final “under protest” and for purely football reasons, it had hoped that the matter would be resolved.
“Since the FIFA deadline has passed and no corrective action has been taken, the team is left with no option but to withdraw from the competition,” the club said.
“Being a football organisation, we feel that footballers and teams should never have to be put in such situations to make such choices as players and teams just want to play,” they added.
Karachi United further appealed to the FIFA, AFC, NC and all stakeholders to urgently resolve this issue to avoid Pakistan from being suspended.
BREAKING: Karachi United have decided to pull out of the National Women’s Football Championship which is now being organised without the PFF Normalisation Committee.
Islamabad-based Highlanders football club said in the statement that following the recent development in PFF, it has decided not to participate in NWFC any further.
“We do not support any act that brings football into disrepute because we believe that no individual is bigger than the game. However, the integrity of game should be maintained at all levels,” the club said in a statement.
“We, the Highlanders club, believe that this is in best interest of Pakistan football,” the statement posted on club’s social media accounts said.
Highlanders Women Football Club was playing its first national women championship and they proved themselves as one of the contenders to win the Trophy. They were scheduled to play against Masha United in the semi final on Thursday.
“We travelled from Islamabad to Karachi with a dream to do well on football field and to win the national women football championship. We are proud of Highlanders’ performance in the tournament and I believe that we made the statement that we wanted to,” the club said.
BREAKING: Highlanders FC become the second club to pull out of the National Women’s Football Championship which is now being organised without the PFF Normalisation Committee.
Earlier, six footballers from different teams had announced to boycott the championship ahead of the quarter final matches.
Later Masha United, which was one of the semi-finalists, “become the third team to withdraw from the ongoing National Women’s Football Championship which lost its official status after PFF NC was ousted. Only WAPDA left now and probably get declared champion”, announced FPDC on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the Provincial Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Punjab, Rai Taimoor Khan Bhatti had addressed the issue, saying: “Pakistan Football Federation’s decision to play a role in the dispute, the parties are being contacted. The suspension of Pakistan’s membership by FIFA will bring the country into disrepute in the international arena. A positive solution to the conflict will come out soon.”

In a successive post, the veteran actor and director revealed the female lead and some additional details about the film.

Adnan Siddiqui and Mahira Khan have paid rich tributes to Haseena Moin who passed away this morning at the age of 79.
Remembering Moin, Siddiqui said: “No amount of adjectives would do justice to the immense talent of Haseena Moin or Haseena Apa as she was lovingly called. Her acclaimed writings brought a refreshing angle to dramas and plays, positioning women as independent and empowered.”
“That was the time when hashtags didn’t drive feminism, real work did,” continued Adnan. “Her characters – be it the sisters in Tanhaiyaan, Dr Zoya in Dhoop Kinare [or] Shehzori’s Tara – broke glass ceilings in a conservative Pakistan of the time.”
Praising Moin’s heroine’s, the actor further said: “Young women who were not afraid to speak their minds, believed in equality of genders and typecast emancipation in the truest sense of the word. They were never a second fiddle in any of Apa’s stories. Instead, they emerged stronger than the men.”
Adnan also said that he felt “privileged to have worked in one of her dramas serial, Pal Do Pal and a long play Chup Daria.“
“Though my favourite memories of Haseena apa would always be tuning into PTV to watch Zara and Sanya manoeuvre through life courageously and independently,” he concluded.
Similarly, Mahira also remembered Haseena fondly, admiring her strong work.
“There will never be another like Haseena Moin Sahiba,” said Mahira. “You shall live for generations to come.. through your service to this nation and our industry.”
Other celebrities who remembered Moin include Faysal Quraishi, Imran Abbas, Sanam Saeed, Usman Mukhtar and Fahad Mustafa.
#HaseenaMoin to me apa , is no more. You were always larger than life,no amount of reflection & words can do justice to the void you have left behind for the industry & in our hearts. An icon for women empowerment, magician with words and pen,Apa we miss you.Will always miss you
Let’s be honest. March 25 will be regarded as one of the saddest days in history, despite the fact that we won a cricket world cup on this day in 1992. This is because on this day Faisal Kapadia and Bilal Maqsood announced that they have parted ways and are ‘concluding’ Strings after producing music for 33 years.
Announcing the news on social media, Strings said: “This post is a bit different from the usual. We have decided that today, 25/03/2021, is the day we graciously get to conclude Strings.”
“The past 33 years have been incredible for both of us. It’s so rare to have the chance to be able to do things like this and we are infinitely grateful to all of our fans for making it possible,” read the announcement further. “We hope you found it worthwhile as well.”
Bilal and Faisal also shared the announcement on their respective social media handles.
Soon after the news broke, fans and followers of the band including Ahmed Ali Butt, Farhan Saeed, Gohar Rasheed and Haroon Shahid took to social media to express their “heartbreak” over the band’s split.
#Strings (the band) has decided to conclude their band and the world of music will not be the same anymore what a heartbreaker #TheEnd
