    India kills Muslims for eating meat, allows import of pork products from US

    India, a country known for killing Muslims for meat, especially cow meat. Following Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi’s rise to power, extremist Hindu groups have led attacks across the country that have targeted Muslim and Dalit communities. These attacks have been carried out with the stated intention of protecting cows.

    The United States (US) announced on Monday that India would allow imports of US pork and pork products for the first time, welcoming the removal of an old block on US farm trade, reports Dawn.


    Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and US Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai made the announcement in a statement.

    “This new opportunity marks the culmination of nearly two decades of work to gain market access for US pork to India — and it signals positive movement in US-India trade relations,” Vilsack said.

    “We will continue working with the Indian government to ensure that the US pork industry can begin shipping its high-quality products to consumers as soon as possible,” she said.

    Islamabad’s Monal restaurant to be sealed today after court order

    The Islamabad High Court (IHC) today has ordered Islamabad’s Chief Commissioner to seal the Monal Restaurant in Margalla Hills National Park and Navy Golf Course after hearing a case against encroachments.

    “It is your responsibility to ensure the orders are implemented and you will oversee them yourself,” said Justice Athar Minallah while referring to Islamabad chief commissioner, Samaa has reported. In response the Commissioner said that he will seal the restaurant himself today.

    “Do you people know what you’re doing with the upcoming generations? All this is very shocking,” the judge said. “Everywhere we see in Islamabad, there’s lawlessness.”

    During the hearing the director-general of the Environmental Protection Authority told the court that the restaurant was sealed twice in the past.

    Earlier in November, IHC banned all kinds of construction in the Margalla Hills National Park (MHNP). Monal Restaurant was built in 2005.

    Want to go watch the PSL matches during Covid? Here is what you need to know

    The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly finalised a plan to complete the Pakistan Super League season seven smoothly despite Covid-19 fears.

    The previous two editions of the league were affected by the pandemic and were completed in two phases after a brief postponement.

    Keeping the fifth Covid-19 wave in mind, the board and the franchises have chalked down the protocols to complete the tournament smoothly.

    Reportedly, the authorities have made a three-day quarantine mandatory for the people associated with the league.

    Families of the players will not be allowed to stay with them during the tournament.

    The report further revealed that the availability of a minimum of 13 players is essential for the conduct of a match. In case less than 13 players are available, a match will not be possible.

    The tournament will be suspended for seven-day if coronavirus infections break out during the league.

    A reserve pool of 24 local players will be readied for the PSL 7. These players will also enter quarantine from January 20.

    The security plans were also discussed in a meeting held by Chairman PCB Ramiz Raja.

    Meanwhile, the online sale of tickets of the league will start from today (Tuesday). PCB has also reportedly offered free tickets for the fans, one free ticket will be given for every four tickets purchased.

    The spectators will have to be fully vaccinated and follow the Covid-19 SOPs.

    Child injured in pet lion attack in Gujrat

    According to media reports, the tragedy took place when the boy approached the cage of a hungry lion. The lion attempted to feast on the boy injuring him seriously.

    He was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors are treating him.

     Soon after the incident, police in the province started a manhunt against the owner who is identified as Fayaz.

    SSP central, while taking the notice of the incident, directed police officers to book the lion owner at the earliest.

  • Relationship with military ‘exceptional’, PM Khan assures all good with the army

    Relationship with military ‘exceptional’, PM Khan assures all good with the army

    Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has once again reiterated that his government’s relationship with the military was ‘exceptional’ and the Opposition’s statements regarding a rift between the government and the military were ‘dead and buried’.

    During a meeting held by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s spokespersons chaired by PM Khan, the premier said that “civil-military relations are unprecedented these days”.

    PM Khan had expressed similar views earlier as well. During an interview with a journalist, the premier was asked about rumours of a possible deal between the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the establishment to send PM Khan’s government packing and whether he felt threatened in any way. The PM said he personally was not under any kind of pressure. He added that he enjoyed the support of government allies and expressed confidence that his government would complete its mandated five years.

    During the meeting with his spokespersons, the premier said that the party has presented its funding receipts to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and the
    “scrutiny committee has cleared the party of all suspicions.”

    “All other political parties should provide the receipts of their funding too,” demanded PM Khan.

    He further said that out of total funding of Rs310 million, an amount of Rs150 million was shown twice.

    “This [error] will be cleared in the next hearing of the ECP,” PM Khan said.

    “Isn’t Shahbaz Sharif ashamed of himself since he used too many TTs to launder money?” said PM Khan, talking about the electronic method of transferring funds (TTs) for overseas wire transactions.

    The premier talked about the foreign fundings received by other parties and said that the “PML-N should give an account of the billions of rupees of funding it received from overseas sources.”

    Prior to this, deposed Nawaz Sharif directed his party not to let Imran Khan off the hook on the basis of the ECP report, telling them to aggressively agitate the matter and not let both houses of parliament run smoothly till “justice” is done.

  • Creator of Sulli Deals app arrested for auctioning Indian Muslim women

    Creator of Sulli Deals app arrested for auctioning Indian Muslim women

    On Sunday, Aumkareshwar Thakur, the alleged mastermind who was behind the Indian Muslim women auction application, Sulli Deals has been arrested by the police from Indore city situated in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

    He created this application in July 2021 to insult Muslim women and hosted it on the web platform GitHub. He put up more than 80 Muslim women “for sale” last year. However, it was removed by the repository hosting service after receiving backlash from social media.

    “Sulli” is a derogatory term used to refer to Muslim women in India.

    Recently, a similar application was created by the name, Bulli Bai where developers uploaded more than 100 photos of Muslim women for sale without their consent. The Pakistani Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Malala Yousafzai was also included in the auction list.

    In both applications, there was no actual sale but the sole purpose was to defame Muslim women.

    The arrest of Thakur came into action when the four students were arrested including Niraj Bishnoi who was allegedly the main conspirator of the Bulli Bai application.

    During the interrogation, Bishnoi revealed information about Thakur.

    The creator of Sulli Deals was a member of the group “TradMahaSabha” since January 2020 where all radical Hindus trolled and defamed Muslim women.

    The local police told the local media, “Bishnoi was a part of a group called ‘Trad Community Group’ and there was mention of the Sulli Deals app and its creator. This is how the two got to know each other, and during Bishnoi’s interrogation, he disclosed information about Thakur.”

    Meanwhile, Thakur’s father said that his son was being trapped and arrested on the basis of claims by arrested people in the Bulli Bai case.

    Recently, hate crimes are increasing in India with the support of the ruling party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Several Indian celebrities raised their voices against the auction application and hate crimes against Muslims.

  • PML-N questions extension debate of army chief tenure by PM Khan

    PML-N questions extension debate of army chief tenure by PM Khan

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Ahsan Iqbal slammed Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan over talking about the extension of the Chief of Army Staff’s (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s extension, arguing that it is an “unconstitutional and political tactic”.

    Abbasi said that the Constitution of Pakistan was clear on the army chief’s appointment, saying: “The Constitution that we’ve read says the army chief gets appointed for three years. There has never been a debate on the extension of the army chief’s tenure.”

    Last week, PM Khan, in a programme said he had so far not thought about the extension of COAS as November [the appointment month of COAS] is far away.

    Similarly, PML-N Secretary-General Ahsan Iqbal condemned the act and said that the government is “trying to play a dangerous political card on the matter of the army chief’s appointment.”

    “A new military chief is appointed during the last three months of the incumbent’s tenure, therefore, talking about the extension before time is just a political tactic,” he added.

    General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s tenure was extended for three years by PM in August 2019, just three months before he was set to retire.

  • World number one Djokovic wins legal battle to remain in Australia

    World number one Djokovic wins legal battle to remain in Australia

    An Australian judge ruled on Monday that Serbian tennis ace Novak Djokovic be released from immigration detention immediately, finding the government’s decision to revoke the tennis star’s visa to enter the country was “unreasonable”.

    Judge Anthony Kelly ordered Djokovic be freed within 30 minutes and his passport and other personal documents returned to him, rekindling the world number one’s bid to win a record 21st Grand Slam title at the upcoming Australian Open.

    Kelly, who earlier in proceedings had criticised the hours-long questioning of Djokovic at Melbourne’s airport when he landed on Wednesday, said both the interview and the visa cancellation “was unreasonable”.

    Djokovic was not given enough time to speak to tennis organisers and lawyers to respond fully after he was notified of the intent to cancel his visa, the judge said.

    Lawyers for the federal government told the court the country’s immigration minister was reserving the right to exercise his personal power to again revoke Djokovic’s visa.

    After confirming that such a step, if taken, would bar Djokovic from the country for three years, Kelly warned the government lawyers that “the stakes have now risen, rather than receded.”

    Spokespeople for the minister, Alex Hawke, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

    Djokovic’s plight has been closely followed around the world, creating political tensions between Belgrade and Canberra and sparking heated debate over national vaccination mandates.

    Djokovic, 34, has been held in an immigration detention hotel alongside long-term asylum seeker detainees since Thursday. He was at his lawyers’ chambers on Monday to hear the ruling, which included the government being ordered to pay his costs.

    His lawyers argued that a recent Covid-19 infection qualified Djokovic for the medical exemption from a requirement for non-Australian citizens entering the country to be double vaccinated.

    The Australian government, however, had argued non-citizens had no right of guaranteed entry to Australia and questioned his claimed exemption.
