  • “Wow” says Jemima when asked a question about Imran

    Imran Khan’s former wife Jemima Khan is no stranger to answering questions about her ex-husband, even years after their divorce. She’s quite active on Twitter and was recently involved in another twitter controversy.

    In her latest tweet, Jemima addressed Islamaphobia and religion by quoting a quote by British Comedian Ahir Shah.

    She expected some backlash on her views so she said that she’ll delete her tweet if she gets “too much flak.”

    Many people did comment on her tweet, asking her not to debate religion .

    But the most interesting replies of them all was a user asking her if she had “ever cried badly for Imran Khan.”

    To this, Jemima responded:

    Jemima is no stranger to having to answer questions about Imran Khan, even when she is tweeting about other things but it seems like this time, it really took the wow cake.

  • ‘Nawaz denied my father med treatment in jail,’ PPP leader hints at karma

    Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Sharmila Farooqi has recalled her own father’s ordeal during his incarceration by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif.

    Sharmila through her Twitter handle on Thursday sent PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz a message wishing former premier Nawaz Sharif “good health and long life”.

    She lamented that her father Usman Farooqi, the former chairman of the Pakistan Steel Mills, was denied medical treatment by the PML-N government adding that he was sent back to jail after three days of having open-heart surgery.

    “I used to cry for his life and health…Never got any respite from Nawaz Sharif but I still wish him good health and long life…I feel for Maryam Nawaz too,” the PPP leader wrote.

    Sharmila’s tweet comes a day after news of Nawaz’s deteriorating health hit the media.

    Nawaz Sharif is suffering from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) disease, called ITP for short, and doctors claim that it is treatable in Pakistan.

  • ‘If we were still together’: Reham speaks about ‘puppet’ Imran

    ‘If we were still together’: Reham speaks about ‘puppet’ Imran

    Reham Khan, former wife of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan, has once again managed to make headlines by saying that she would not have “let herself and Imran be a puppet had the two still been together”.

    Reham’s statement came as a reply to a follower’s tweet that said, “Had Reham been here, the government wouldn’t have seen such days.”

    PM’s former wife is rather infamous for her statements hitting out at PM Imran and his ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Twitter as well as her personal Youtube channel.

    Just last week, Reham had accused the premier of being involved in illegal transactions of foreign funds and “moral corruption for hiding accounts from the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP)”.

  • VIDEO: Journalist trolls Imran Khan for ‘another broken promise’

    VIDEO: Journalist trolls Imran Khan for ‘another broken promise’

    Journalist and anchorperson Shahzeb Khanzada has tolled Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan over “another broken promise”, and it’s hilarious.

    Khanzada, in his show last night, aired an old video of PM Imran promising that he will create such opportunities in Pakistan that people from foreign countries will be seeking jobs in the country.

    He also said that former Finance Minister Asad Umar had earlier claimed that people from foreign countries were already seeking executive positions in Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM), but in reality, the positions were still vacant and PSM was still inoperational.

    Continuing his brutal trolling of premier and his aides, Khanzada also aired a video of Finance Adviser Abdul Hafeez Sheikh saying, “Our government’s target is to increase foreign employment of Pakistani citizens”.

    He was heard as adding that this year from January to August, the government had sent around 373,000 people from Pakistan to foreign countries for employment.

    Shahzeb then said that the government instead of providing job opportunities was now taking credit for sending people abroad for jobs.

  • Boy in Lahore performing an indecent act caught on video

    Boy in Lahore performing an indecent act caught on video

    Zoya Ayaz, a resident of Lahore, was crossing a pedestrian bridge in New Garden Town, when a boy on the bridge exposed himself to her and started masturbating in front of her.

    https://twitter.com/ShoutOutLoud16/status/1176724620495544325
    Zoya released the video on Twitter

    Even though it is obvious that he knew he was being filmed, he continued the act and then after finishing, walked away from her. After she continued filming him, and he tried to block his face, he came towards her, trying to hit her but she ran away.

    Twitter was surprisingly divided on the issue, with Zoya having to give clarifications.

    With others also coming to Zoya’s defence.

  • ‘If selected, he’s the best selection ever,’ Imran’s fans quote fake US senator

    ‘If selected, he’s the best selection ever,’ Imran’s fans quote fake US senator

    In a rather embarrassing development, supporters of the Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government have quoted a fake United States (US) senator as praising the Pakistani premier.

    “If he is selected then it might be the best selection ever, and if he is elected then Pakistanis are the most wise nation in the world [sic],” a group of Twitterati quoted “US Senator Tony Booker” as saying after PM Imran on Sunday arrived in Pakistan after his successful trip to the country.

    The problem? Tony Booker doesn’t even exist.

    Pointing out what was wrong with the quote, journalist Omar Qureshi took to Twitter and wrote:

    Cory Anthony Booker is an American politician serving as the junior US senator from New Jersey since 2013 and a member of the Democratic Party.

    Earlier, dozens of supporters of the ruling PTI flooded the micro-blogging website with praise for PM Imran.

    Meanwhile, others took some time out to troll those who fell for the fake statement.

    A number of tweets quoting the senator, who doesn’t even exist, have been deleted.

  • ‘Hassan Ali isn’t my wife,’ says Shadab

    Pakistani cricketer Shadab Khan gave a witty response while speaking to media on Sunday when a reporter asked him how he felt about the fast bowler Hassan Ali — being left out of the squad for Pakistan’s series against Sri Lanka.

    When asked how he felt about playing in a series without his friend Hassan for the first time, Shadab said: “It’s just friendship, you make it sound like our relationship is that of husband and wife”.

    “I do miss him because we have been playing together for a while now. Not just me but the entire team misses him as he’s always jolly”, he added.

    Shadab also took to social media and tweeted: “See Hassan, our friendship has made it to the press well”.

    “On a serious note, all the team is in good spirit for Pakistan vs Sri Lanka series, we will try to give it our all,” Shadab added.

  • Modi expresses grief over Pakistan earthquake

    Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi has expressed grief over the loss of lives and damage to property after an earthquake in Pakistan killed at least 40 and left more than 500 people injured.

    The Twitter handle “PMO India” wrote, “PM has expressed grief on the loss of lives and damage to property due to an earthquake in parts of India and Pakistan”.

    “PM expresses condolences to the families of the deceased and prays for the speedy recovery of those injured”, said the Tweet.
