    Giang Quoc Nghiep interviewed with international media and said, “Today, we are feeling wonderful. We are feeling amazing because now we have climbed 100 steps within 53 seconds and I did not imagine in my mind…I hope everybody will remember this day.”

    While another brother, Giang Quoc Co said, “Some days ago, we were under stress because of everyday practice. The weather is very cold and we practise in the morning till night.., Five years ago, we climbed 90 steps within 52 seconds…I feel wonderful,” the other brother can be heard saying in the video.”

    The circus-performing brothers, Giang Quoc Co aged 37, and Giang Quoc Nghiep aged 32 also made the record earlier at the same venue in December 2016. At that time, they climbed 90 steps in 52 seconds.


    This year, they achieved a record of 100 steps in only 53 seconds. The management set up 10 additional steps to perform the stunt, as the Cathedral has 90 steps.

    In 2018, the world record set by the brothers in 2016 was reportedly broken by Peruvian acrobats Pablo Nonato Panduro and Joel Yaicate Saavedra with seven steps, 97.

    According to the Guinness World Records website, the duo in December 2018 also had set another record to ascend and descend stairs in the shortest time while one of the brothers was blindfolded on Italy’s TV channel, TV8.

    Actors Aadi Adeal Amjad and Faizan Sheikh appeared on Naumaan Ijaz’s show G Sarkar on which the duo made revelations on a problematic episode shooting with A-list actress Neelam Muneer.

    The hosting duo mentioned that when Neelam came as a guest on their show, they asked her a question that, “What do you prefer, baby boy or baby girl?”

    The Qayamat diva took offence in the question and expressed her displeasure and disappointment.

    Aadi stated, “She took offence in the question nd interpreted in some other way, she got angry and told us that she is leaving the set.”

    Faizan added to this that, “A celebrity should do their homework and realise the kind of show they are going to, if they are uncomfortable with the content, they shouldn’t come in the first place.”

    He concluded by saying that they told the Qaid-e-Tanhai star that they are taking out the question and won’t ask it but she still did not calm down immediately. It took them a lot of time to convince her.

    Fawad said, “We have had failures and successes but till now Pakistan is that bright hope in this region which while remaining amid these extremes can emerge out from them.”

    Furthermore, he pointed out that extremists in the country and said, “Quaid-e-Azam never saw Pakistan as a religious country and all these people who today on his name are fooling the people that the meaning of an Islamic country was a religious country — this was entirely not the case.”

  • ‘Get out from here’: SC reinstates Murtaza Wahab as Administrator Karachi after unconditional apology

    ‘Get out from here’: SC reinstates Murtaza Wahab as Administrator Karachi after unconditional apology

    The Supreme Court (SC) took back its order for the removal of Murtaza Wahab from the post of Administrator Karachi after he tendered an “unconditional apology” during a hearing of the Gutter Baghicha case at the Karachi Registry on Monday.

    The court directed that the post of administrator be “kept away from politics” and instructed Wahab to fulfill his responsibilities while remaining above “political affiliation and pressure”.

    Earlier, a two-member bench comprising Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed and Justice Qazi Mohammad Amin issued a directive for Wahab’s removal after a heated exchange with him.

    Attorney General of Pakistan Khalid Jawed Khan, Advocate General of Sindh Salman Talib Ud Din, Karachi Commissioner Iqbal Memon, Wahab, and Senior Director of the anti-encroachment department Bashir Siddiqui were present during today’s hearing.

    During the hearing of a matter related to the Gutter Baghicha park, Justice Amin, while addressing Wahab remarked, “These are state lands [and] not your personal property. [You will] have to return them. If we don’t take them [back] then someone else will. You will return the lands.”

    “Should we leave the government?” Wahab questioned, saying that major observations are made about the provincial government by the court.

    “Silence yourself mister, what are you saying? Don’t do politics here,” the chief justice reprimanded Wahab.

    “Get out from here. We will fire you right now. Are you an administrator or a political leader?” Justice Gulzar questioned. 

    “The administrator, prima facie, failed to perform his duties. The administrator’s behaviour is that of political leaders [and] not of serving the citizens,” the chief justice remarked.

    “Go and transfer Bin Qasim park [and] Hill park in your name. Take Frere [Hall] park too. How many parks are there in Karachi? Finish them now. Distribute the few remaining parks among your officers as well,” the chief justice scolded Wahab.

    “Is Karachi your personal property?” he questioned.

    Murtaza Wahab later apologised to the court for using harsh words.

    “I apologise for my behavior,” Wahab said.

    Justice Qazi Amin remarked that they have removed him [Wahab] from office. “You are no longer an administrator. You are not part of the state but the government,” he said.

    Wahab, while speaking to the media during a break in the hearing, said that he accepted whatever the court’s decision would be.

    He said that he has apologised to the court. “I was stating my opinion with great respect,” said Wahab, adding that this court is his own court.

    “[A person] should be heard before issuing a decision against them,” Wahab said as he looked forward to the court’s final decision after the break.

    The court later accepted the apology of Murtaza Wahab after a short break in the proceedings and withdrew the order to remove him from office.

    Australian cricketer Lloyd Pope has reportedly said that he is eager to learn from Pakistan’s leg-spinner Shadab Khan in Big Bash League (BBL). It is reported that the cricketer has emerged as the key player in their pursuit of the third BBL title.

    Shadab was listed as substitute in the match against the Sydney Thunder, with the Sydney Sixers hopeful that the Pakistani star’s Covid-19 test result would come back in time for him to begin playing, local media reported.

    “It’s incredibly thrilling for us to add another international player to our squad,” Pope said.

    Pope said that he had a brief conversation with Shadab from a distance of two metres while the Pakistani spinner wore a mask.

    “I’m excited to pick his brain and see what he has to offer. He has extensive international experience and, particularly as a leggie, he will bring a great deal to the table. I’m keen on spending time with him,” Pope said.

    Earlier, BBL franchise Sixers had announced the signing of Pakistan all-rounder and vice-captain Khan for the eleventh edition of the league.

    Sydney Sixers took to Twitter to announce the signing of the Pakistani star spinner, who has also performed well with the bat for Pakistan recently.

    “We’ve signed Pakistani star spinner Shadab Khan for the remainder of #BBL11,” tweeted Sydney Sixers.
