Coalition govt should name their favourite judges: Sheikh Rasheed

چیف جسٹس کے بنچ کو فکسڈ بنچ کہنا انتہائی افسوسناک ہے۔2ووٹوں کے سازشی پرائم منسٹر پر بھی عدم اعتماد لانا ہوگا۔فوج کے بعد سپریم کورٹ کو نشانہ بنایا جارہا ہے۔اتحادی بتائیں کہ ان کے پسندیدہ جج کونسے ہیں۔یہ اثاثے بیچ کرمعیشت کو مزید تباہ کررہے ہیں۔اب ن لیگ بھی الیکشن سے بھاگ رہی ہے

China’s population expected to start reducing before 2025

China’s population is expected to start to shrink before 2025 as the country’s birth data showed that the number of new births in 2021 was the lowest in decades in several provinces. Currently, China is the most populous country with nearly 1.4 billion residents.

The head of population and family affairs at the National Health Commission said that China’s population is expected to start to shrink in 2021-2025.

In recent years, the population of the country has slowed significantly. According to the state-backed Global Times, the number of births in central Hunan province fell below 500,000 for the first time in nearly 60 years.

The change in China’s laws last year that allowed women to have three children has not helped the country in any way. Many Chinese women have argued that the change comes too late and they are facing problems like insufficient job security and gender equality.

According to a United Nations (UN) report, India will become the world’s most populous country next year, i.e 2023, beating China.

Sana Khan finally reveals why she left Bollywood

In a lengthy Instagram note in October 2020, Sana announced that she is quitting the entertainment industry to “serve humanity and follow the order of her creator.” She went through a tough time before that because of her split with choreographer Melvin Louis in 2019, who she also accused of cheating.

It was in November 2020 when she announced her marriage with Surat-based businessman Anas Saiyad. She has been living her life travelling to Maldives, visiting Haj and has also launched her clothing line, Haya by Sana Khan among other exciting things.

Revealing why she left showbiz in the first place, Sana recently told Times Of India, “In my past life of course, I had everything, name, fame, money. I could do anything and everything that I wanted but one thing that was missing was peace in my heart. I was like everything but why am I not happy? It was very tough and there were days of depression, there were days when I would get God’s message, his signs.”

What triggered her decision? Sana added, “In 2019, during Ramadan I still remember I used to see a grave in my dreams. I would see a burning, blazing grave and I could see myself in the grave. I just saw the empty grave, I saw myself. I felt this is the sign that God is giving me that if I don’t change, this is what my end is going to be. That got me a little anxious.”
