Maryam Nawaz, Vice President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), took a jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s ongoing long march, calling it a “part-time march”.
“It should be called a part-time long march because he leaves his abode in Lahore after eating lunch and goes out for two or three hours to come back in time for his evening tea. After every 10 miles, he comes back to Lahore,” said the PML-N leader, addressing a press conference in London.
The PML-N leader said the “part-time” march ends within two hours of starting, and it is still stuck in Lahore despite the passage of five days since it’s commencement. “And now, we are hearing reports that it will take eight to ten more days to reach Islamabad,” she said.
5 دن سے یہ لانگ مارچ لاہور میں ہی پھنسا ہوا ہے لاہور سے باہر نہیں نکل سکا اور کل کہا گیا کہ 9,10 دن میں بھی یہ اسلام آباد نہیں پہنچے گا تو اگر آپ 3 بجے لانگ مارچ شروع کرکے شام کو 6 بجے ختم کردینگے تو یہ تو مہینہ نہیں پہنچے گا.@MaryamNSharifpic.twitter.com/HmxpuVZl5j
The daughter of PML-N head, Nawaz Sharif, said that no institution was supporting Imran Khan’s march, however, she said that one or two individuals could be behind it.
She further alleged that Khan is still searching for people in the establishment who will continue to support him but said that the nation was aware of this. “Your lies are unravelling and your time has ended”, she said, addressing Khan.

Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s evergreen film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge will be re-released in theatres all over India on the Bollywood King’s 57th birthday on November 2.
Yash Raj Films announced the news on October 31 through their Instagram handle. They shared the poster of the film in order to announce the news.

DDLJ is also the winner of a record-breaking (at the time) 10 Filmfare awards and the film changed the face of Bollywood globally.

Faisal Vawda, ex-member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has made the revelation that people within his former party could be involved in the murder of renowned journalist Arshad Sharif in Kenya.
On Samaa News’ programme “Nadeem Malik Live” which aired on Monday, Vawda said, “The assassination was planned in Pakistan by those who could benefit from it,” adding that the murder better suits “three snakes and two VIPs”.
He said that the “three snakes” belong to the PTI, however, the other two VIPs are non-political and are trusted by Imran Khan. He claimed that he himself had warned Khan several times about them.
About Arshad Sharif, who was killed on October 23 by two gunshot wounds, the former PTI member said, “He had no issue in coming back to Pakistan”.
When asked if the establishment supported PTI in the 2018 elections, he said, “If anyone says that the establishment had no role in elections, it will be a lie.”
He reiterated that the long march which his former party is carrying out right now, would be a bloody march and PTI is heading right toward it.
On October 26, Vawda dismissed the version of the Kenyan police about Arshad being killed in a case of “mistaken identity”.
Vawda had made claims that the party’s long march would “witness bloodshed, death, and funerals”. The same day, the PTI suspended Vawda and said that he would not be allowed to hold any party office or represent the party in the media as he had “grossly violated discipline by giving statements against party policies and guidelines”.
Last week, PTI Chairman Imran Khan announced that Vawda’s membership stands terminated for failing to respond to the show-cause notice issued to him on October 26.
Twitter has reacted strongly to a statement by Imran Khan, the Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), who said in an interview, “Let them impose martial law.” On the fourth day of his long march, his statement was addressed to the establishment in reply to a question asked by journalist Imran Riaz Khan.
“Impose martial law. If they want to impose, It doesn’t affect me,” said Khan.
Khan further added that the current political scenario in the country was worst than former President and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Pervez Musharraf’s martial law. Khan added that when PTI leaders Azam Swati and Shahbaz Gill were tortured they were told that, “Imran would face the same.”
Not going to comment on his physical because it should be obvious to most.
Shameful for a person who pretends to stand for a civilian supremacy call for Martial Law so brazenly just because inko farq nahee parta. pic.twitter.com/YLe9L09562
The former Prime Minister said that he would not be scared or intimidated, adding that those who want to destroy the country’s biggest political party are cowards.
“Until there is rule of law and accountability for all, there is no future for Pakistan,” Khan said.
After the interview clip went viral on social media, Twitterati had questions about how Khan spoke and how wrong his statement on martial law was.
In case of Marshal law, he will be the biggest causality then other politicos. they’d sort him out before they sort anybody else!! https://t.co/j34xlwhOaT

Brazil has elected leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as President after he beat far-right incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro in a tight presidential election on Sunday.
Following the election, Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif extended his wishes to Silva.
“I extend my congratulations to H.E. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his election as President of Brazil. I wish him great success and look forward to working with him to enhance bilateral relations between the two countries. We share consensus on the dangers of climate change,” he said in a tweet.
I extend my congratulations to H.E. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva @LulaOficial on his election as President of Brazil. I wish him great success & look forward to working with him to enhance bilateral relations b/wour two countries. We share consensus on the dangers of climate change.
According to the country’s election authority, Lula secured 50.8 per cent of the vote compared with 49.2 per cent for Bolsonaro.
In his victory speech, Lula said, “This country needs peace and unity. This population doesn’t want to fight anymore.”
This is the first time that the sitting president failed to re-win the elections.
Bolsonaro has made no public statement on the outcome.
Lula, a hero for the country’s left, could not run in the 2018 election after being incarcerated on corruption charges which were later annulled.
Lula left the presidency 12 years ago with record popularity after serving from 2003-2010. His conviction was later overturned by the Supreme Court, allowing him to run again for president this year.
A retired Indian Army Major, Gaurav Arya, has posted a tweet on his account, offering support to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for his anti-establishment narrative.
Talking to Twitter, Major Gaurav, infamous for being very critical of Pakistan, applauded Khan for speaking against the country’s army, the prime minister, as well as the country’s intelligence agency.
“He calls Pak Army Chief an animal, Pak PM a thief, people of Pakistan slaves (ghulam) and Election Commissioner a traitor. He publicly threatens to expose ISI”, he said. He also expressed his wish to donate to PTI with the hashtag of ImranKhanZindabad.

A few days ago, the PTI chief directly addressed Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lieutenant General Nadeem Ahmed Anjum.
“DG ISI, listen carefully, the things I know…I am staying silent for my institutions and the country. I don’t want to damage my country,” Khan publicly said during the first day of his party’s ongoing long march.
This is not a first time that someone from across border lauded Khan. Since the former Prime Minister’s outburst against the establishment, an Indian journalist has also said that Imran Khan Khan is her favourite.
ABP News’ journalist Rubika Liyaquat said: “[Imran Khan] has become my dear most as he has his eyes set on exposing ISI’s secrets.”

The development has come a week after the unexpected and dramatic resignation of Azam Nazeer Tarar as the law minister.
Sadiq began his career with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and joined PML-N in 2001. He has been elected twice for the slot of National Assembly (NA) speaker. He was also the acting President of Pakistan in 2014.
Azam Nazeer Tarar steps down as law minister, citing ‘personal reason’
On October 24, Federal Law and Justice Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar resigned from his post for “personal reasons”.
In his resignation letter, addressed to President Dr Arif Alvi, Tarar wrote: “I have had the great honour and privilege to serve my country as the Federal Minister for Law and Justice under the leadership of Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.”
Citing the reason for his resignation, the PML-N leader said, “Due to personal reasons, I am unable to discharge my duties as the federal minister”.
“Therefore, in terms of Clause (3) of Article 92 of the Constitution of the Republic of Pakistan, I hereby resign from my office,” his resignation letter added.
Prior to this, Tarar supported Chief Justice (CJ) Umar Ata Bandial’s nominations of junior judges for elevation to the Supreme Court on the instructions of the federal government.
However, it was being speculated that he was not comfortable with the government’s decision, therefore, he decided to tender his resignation, reports Express Tribune.
Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Ahsan Bhoon welcomed Tarar’s resignation. He said that Tarar showed loyalty to the party by following the government’s instruction, but he stood with the bar by resigning.
Moreover, some media reports said that some powerful circles were upset at the sloganeering during the Asma Jahangir Conference the other day, in his presence. This resignation is seen in the context of that episode.
Tarar is a senior PML-N leader, a lawyer, and a bar representative who assumed the responsibilities of Federal Minister for Law and Justice in April 2022.
