  • ‘Women cover up’: Taliban order new ban on Afghan women

    ‘Women cover up’: Taliban order new ban on Afghan women

    The Taliban’s religious police have put up posters around the capital Kabul ordering Afghan women to cover up, an official said on Friday, reports Dawn.

    The poster, which includes an image of the face-covering burqa, was slapped on cafes and shops this week by the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.

    “According to Sharia law, Muslim women must wear the hijab,” the poster reads, referring to the practice of covering up. A spokesman for the ministry, responsible for enforcing the Taliban’s interpretation of Islamic law, confirmed on Friday that it was behind the orders.

    “If someone does not follow it, it does not mean she will be punished or beaten, it’s just encouragement for Muslim women to follow Sharia law,” Sadeq Akif Muhajir said.

    “What they’re trying to do is to spread fear among the people,” a university student and women’s rights advocate, who did not want to be identified, said.

    “The first time I saw the posters I was really petrified, I thought maybe (the Taliban) will start beating me. They want me to wear a burqa and look like nothing, I would never do that.”

    ‘Shame’: Netizens troll Ahad Raza Mir for skipping Saboor Aly’s wedding, spotted enjoying in Dubai

    Actor Ahad Raza Mir is being trolled on social media for skipping his sister in law Saboor Aly’s wedding. Ever since the Sammi star remained absent during Sajal’s Khel Khel Mein‘s events in Karachi the social media fans started speculating regarding their separation.

    When asked why Ahad Raza Mir didn’t attend the premiere, Sajal Aly said:

    “Ahad is at work, he is not in Pakistan so that is why he is not here.”

    However, fans were not convinced with the actress’ response as Ahad was spotted at a party in Karachi around the same time.

    Ahad Raza Mir was also not seen at Saboor Aly’s Baat Pakki ceremony.

    The Ehd-e-Wafa actor’s absence from such events has added to the rumours of separation.

    The speculation got fueled by the couple’s silence on the matter. The netizens have now expressed their displeasure at Ahad getting spotted in Dubai at a wedding instead of Saboor’s events.

    Shoaib Malik becomes ‘Zalmi Rapper’, Sania Mirza reacts

    Pakistan Super League (PSL) is just around the corner and teams are getting ready for the seventh edition of the country’s biggest cricket tournament.

    The official anthem for the T20 tournament has not been released and neither do we know who will be singing it, but Peshawar Zalmi’s Shoaib Malik has shared a photo, in which it seems that he will be singing for his franchise.

    “The Zalmi rapper,” Malik wrote, sharing a photo on Instagram, where he can be seen wearing accessories on his hands and fancy ‘espouse style’ sunglasses.

    Commenting under his post, Indian tennis ace and Shoaib’s wife Sania Mirza wrote: “Not bling at all.”

    Shoaib’s sister-in-law Anam Mirza, Pakistani actor Ushna Shah and Pakistani pacer Usman Shinvari praised the cricketer for his look.

    “Where’s the ice,” wrote Shah.

    Earlier, Peshawar Zalmi also revealed the franchise’s kit for the latest edition of the league.

    Last year, Zalmi’s anthem “Kingdom” for PSL 6 was sung by Abdullah Siddiqui and it also featured Turkish actor Esra Bilgic. Pakistani stars Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir, and Ali Rehman were also featured in it.

  • PM Khan ‘stopped’ NAB chairman from attending parliamentary meeting that the chairman had called himself

    PM Khan ‘stopped’ NAB chairman from attending parliamentary meeting that the chairman had called himself

    Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan stopped the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (R) Javed Iqbal from attending the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting on Thursday which was convened by the chairman himself, reports The News.

    The chairman had asked for an in-camera meeting to present the figures on the recovery from NAB proceedings and its utilisation. Instead of appearing, the chairman asked NAB Director-General (DG) to represent him which resulted in the dismissal of the meeting as a protest.

    It has also been reported that PM Khan also barred the chairman from appearing in any parliamentary committee meeting.

    Opposition members blasted the NAB chairman over his non-attendance and even asked PAC chairman Rana Tanveer to move a privilege motion against him in the National Assembly (NA).

    Tanveer argued that the chairman was accountable to the parliament and he would have to be accountable for the money he had spent during his tenure.

    Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Senator Saleem Mandviwala said, “NAB is the worst department of Pakistan. It is destroying Pakistan’s economy.”

    This is not the first time that the NAB chairman has avoided such meetings. Last year in December, he appeared before the PAC for the first time but requested to convene an in-camera meeting to review the performance of his organisation.

  • Spain to consider pet custody in divorce battles

    Spain to consider pet custody in divorce battles

    A Spanish court has ruled that pets are also members of the family. In divorce cases, the husband and wife must share them when they get separated.

    There was already no doubt about it among animal lovers, but now pets are officially considered a member of the family in Spain. The new law, which came into force on January 5, recognises pets for the first time as living, sentient beings and not just as objects.

    “Animals are part of the family and when a family decides to separate, the fate of the animal must be regulated with the same importance as the fate of other family members,” said lawyer Lola Garcia.

    The court said that the courts are required to consider the welfare of animals. It aims to end the legal wrangling that often occurs between couples who keep pets.

    Owners must “guarantee” the pet’s well-being, and if either spouse has a history of animal cruelty, he or she may be refused or lose custody of the animal, according to the law.

    Spain is not the first country to do so; France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Portugal are among the European countries that recognise animals as sentient beings.

    Is ‘jahaz owner’ Jahangir Tareen hinting at joining PML-N?

    The wedding ceremony of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Khawaja Saad Rafique’s daughter took place in Lahore which was attended by disgruntled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen.

    In an informal conversation with reporters on the occasion, Tareen said that Saad Rafique is a brother and we are like a family. “Friendship with PML-N is old and will continue like this,” said Tareen.

    When a reporter asked If Tareen’s plane could ever go towards the PML-N, Tareen responded by saying “Jahaz tou hur jagah ja sakta hai [The plane can go anywhere]”.

    Jahangir Tareen was all smiles when the reporter asked him about joining PML-N, to which PML-N leader Ayaz Sadiq said that “whether it was Jahangir Tareen or some other PTI leader, everyone except Imran Khan are smiling.”
