    Couple celebrates valima with street children

    A Pakistani couple celebrated their valima with street children.

    Bannu Assistant Commissioner Usman Ashraf and wife Dr Natasha Rizwan tied the knot a few days ago and decided to celebrate their valima in an unconventional way.

    Speaking to UrduPoint, Ashraf recalled that due to the Covid-19 pandemic, gatherings are not a good idea so it seemed appropriate to hold a small celebration with children who deserved it.

    The groom added that family members and all the loved ones should be invited to the wedding ceremony, however, it is also important to keep in mind those who are usually neglected by society – like street children.

    Social media users lauded the couple for remembering and involving street children in their happiness.

    The couple says simple weddings should be normalised and extravagant expenses avoided.

    Fawad had earlier tweeted that ‘so called journalists’ malign ministers and respectable people for viewership.

    “There was a scuffle that broke out. A small fight broke out. In a fight, as usually is the case, he may have got one (slap) in, I may have hit one,” said the minister during Geo News talk show “Naya Pakistan” on Sunday evening.

    “I have been a minister earlier as well. I will not tolerate personal attacks against myself. We are all human beings and will react when someone makes such false allegations.”
