    Actor Asad Malik shares top fitness secrets

    Famous actor Asad Malik recently had a chat on Hum News where he talked about how he stays fit, especially during Ramadan. He shared helpful tips for staying healthy while fasting.

    He said, “Fasting has always been easy for me. I never found it hard. But some very healthy people struggle with fasting at first. Eventually, they get used to it, while some never do, maybe because they don’t want to.”

    Talking about staying fit, he stressed the importance of good eating habits, saying, “How you eat is really important. Even if you eat good food, it won’t help if your eating habits are bad. Always avoid eating until you’re stuffed. Drink a glass of water before every meal, and avoid cold water. Eat only half of your meal and wait two hours to finish the rest. Eating smaller portions won’t make you gain weight.” He also said he takes honey every morning as a health tonic.

  • Peshawar High Court rejects SIC’s plea regarding reserved seats

    Peshawar High Court rejects SIC’s plea regarding reserved seats

    The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has rejected a petition of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) against the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) verdict on reserved seats.

    “Petitions are unanimously rejected,” the court maintained.

    Earlier today, PHC chief justice Mohammad Ibrahim Khan resumed the hearing and five members of the bench, including Justice Ijaz Anwar, Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim, Justice Shakeel Ahmad, and Justice Arshad Ali, heard the petition.

    SIC’s lawyer, Barrister Ali Zafar, argued during the hearing that it’s not mentioned in the constitution that a party should submit any list to the ECP for reserved seats.

    “It is not written anywhere that you cannot resubmit the list or when it has to be submitted,” the barrister argued, adding that there is no restriction on providing a second list and that the ECP could have issued a second schedule, as it did for the general elections.

    “As per the law, those who participate in elections will get seats,” Justice Anwar remarked.

    The court then questioned Barrister Zafar if it wasn’t clearly stated anywhere that the second schedule cannot be issued.

    “The law does not prevent the Election Commission from issuing another schedule,” the lawyer responded.

    Justice Arshad remarked that Section 104 explains the mechanism for reserved seats as it states that when a list is submitted then another list can be given.

    “Section 104 says that if a political party participates in an election, it will give a list,” the lawyer argued.

    He earlier argued that whoever wins the number of seats, they get reserved seats in the same proportion. 

    “Their seats cannot be increased.”

    “If these seats are not given, the parliament will not be complete,” remarked the chief justice, responding to which the lawyer requested the court to interpret the Constitution in a way that there remains no gap in its interpretation.

    Barrister Ali Zafar also told the court that the ECP has authority to maintain justice, adding that there should be transparency in the election for reserved seats.

  • Imran Nazir’s battle against mercury poisoning

    Imran Nazir’s battle against mercury poisoning

    Imran Nazir, known as one of the most powerful hitters in Pakistan cricket history, recently opened up about his experience with mercury poisoning.
    He played a key role in Pakistan’s victory in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20. Despite facing injuries and inconsistency in form, Nazir remains a popular figure in cricket history.
    In an interview with host Imran Ashraf, he revealed that he suffered from mercury sickness for six and a half years because someone intentionally put the toxic metal in his food.
    Imran talked about how the disease started, thinking it was just regular pain from playing cricket. He said, “I thought it was normal, like when you swing a bat and your muscle gets a bit twisted.” But the pain got worse and spread to all his joints. Worried, he went to see a doctor, and when he got the test results, the doctors told him to go back to Pakistan right away.
    Mercury poisoning happens when mercury gets inside the body through eating, breathing, or touching. It can cause joint pain, problems with thinking, and damage to organs. Imran’s experience shows how tough it can be for people with this sickness, and it reminds us how important it is to stay strong and have support from others during difficult times.

    Imran went through a tough time when he found out about his illness. “The doctors couldn’t explain what happened.” Even after trying different treatments, like herbal and spiritual healing, Imran realised there wasn’t an easy fix. He said, “I had the idea that there is no cure for this disease.” But through it all, Imran stayed strong. He believed, “Whenever difficulties arrive, you must always stay strong. No one could have ever imagined what I went through.”
    For six and a half years, Imran battled his illness, spending all his money to fight it. He said, “I spent all the money I had during that time.”
    Imran also talked about how the disease affected his personal life, mentioning that people treated him differently. He explained, “When times were tough, I saw how people changed.” Despite facing questions about his health, Imran showed appreciation for his wife’s constant support and care. He said, “I salute her honesty and how she took care of me during those difficult times.”
