    Rana Sanaullah acquitted in narcotics case by Lahore court

    A special court in Lahore on Saturday acquitted Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah in a narcotics case filed against him during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s tenure.

    In his plea filed today, Sanaullah argued that the case against him was “concocted, devised and fabricated”.

    The minister urged the court to acquit him of the charge “in the interest of justice, equity and fair play”.

    Sanaullah was arrested in 2019 by the Anti-Narcotics Force’s (ANF) Lahore team while he was travelling from Faisalabad to Lahore.

    The ANF claimed to have seized 15 kilogrammes of heroin from his vehicle. A special team of the force had also arrested five others, including the driver and security guards of the PML-N leader.

    He was twice denied bail by the trial court, however, the Lahore High Court ordered his release on December 24, 2019.

    Sanaullah says Azam Swati ‘maligned’ army, judiciary, not govt

    Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanauallah has said that the cases against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Azam Swati were a part of “political revenge”, adding that Swati did target the army and judiciary but not the government.

    Addressing a press conference in Lahore, the Minister said that the government has got nothing to do with the cases against Swati.

    “If we wanted to frame [PTI leaders] in court cases or treat them the way they treated us, we would have had them charged with the possession of heroin,” he said, referring to the case made against him under the PTI government.

    Sanaullah added that cases are being filed against them in accordance with the law. “Recently, the Balochistan High Court (BHC) cancelled cases against Azam Swati. On the other hand, we have fought our cases for years,” he said.

  • Twitter will soon delete 1.5 billion inactive accounts to free up name space

    Twitter will soon delete 1.5 billion inactive accounts to free up name space

    Twitter is preparing to delete 1.5 billion inactive accounts to free up dormant profiles and user names on the social media platform.

    Elon Musk, the company’s CEO, stated that the suspensions would free up the “name space” of inactive profiles. He also stated that the accounts that would be erased were “obvious” since they had “no tweets” and “no log in for years.”

    Some Twitter users have expressed dissatisfaction with defunct accounts having interesting and appealing usernames that were captured during Twitter’s formative years.

    In the second quarter of 2022, Twitter counted 237.8 million of its users as “monetisable daily active users,” a measure that suggests they’re active on the platform and are being shown advertisements.

    Musk has already committed to deleting dormant Twitter accounts. He said in November that accounts that had been idle for 15 years would be deleted.

    How long an account may remain dormant before being marked for deletion is unknown at this time. Musk announced in October that accounts that had been inactive for more than a year would potentially be in danger.

    According to statistics from Apptopia, Twitter usage appears to have increased in the weeks after Musk’s takeover. In the first week of November, Twitter saw its highest daily active user count ever.

    MG to launch locally assembled HS in Pakistan soon

    Finally, MG Pakistan intends to introduce the locally built MG HS model in Pakistan very soon. Previously, the automaker exclusively offered the crossover SUV in the country as Completely Built Units (CBU) or imported models.

    According to Pakwheels, there were certain technical difficulties that prevented the government from granting the company a license. Although given that Pakwheels indicated that MG Pakistan is set to introduce the locally manufactured MG HS in Pakistan, it appears that the issue has been resolved.

    It was discovered that the government has granted the company a license, and the launch is just around the corner. Sources also stated that Pakistan will receive local HS in a matter of days, or maybe a few weeks.

    If true, this is fantastic news for the local auto market since MG HS has become a popular choice among Pakistanis despite its hefty price tag. The MG HS PHEV currently costs Rs8.5 million, while the MG HS turbo variant is priced at Rs8.9 million.

    For those unaware, the MG HS is equipped with MG Pilot, which is a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies. It complements the driver, lends a helping hand, and gives you added confidence on the road.

    MG PILOT’s advanced driver assistance features constantly sense your surroundings and look for unseen hazards. It offers a selection of warning and alert features to assist the driver while maintaining the highest safety standards, as shown by the 5-star Euro ANCAP rating given to the MG HS.

    Here are some unique features of the MG HS:

    1. Active Emergency Braking (AEB) – Automatically braking to assist with avoiding a collision with a vehicle, bicycle or pedestrian.
    2. Lane Keep Assist (LKA) – Detects lane markings ahead and warns the driver; will assist with steering to keep within the lane.
    3. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) – Maintains the speed set by the driver, automatically adjusting to other traffic.
    4. Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) – Automatically follows the vehicle in front in slow traffic.
    5. Blind Spot Detection (BSD) – Whenever there is a vehicle in the driver’s blind spot, a visual signal will show in the door mirror.
    6. Intelligent High Beam Assist – Automatically switches to low beam when it detects a vehicle ahead.
    7. Intelligent Speed Limit Assist – Actively detects speed limit signs and alerts the driver of the current speed limit.
