    PM Khan directs spokespersons to highlight Shehbaz Sharif’s money laundering

    




    Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan in a meeting with party spokespersons directed his criticism towards the Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif.
    




    During the meeting, Advisor to PM on Accountability and Interior Barrister Shahzad Akbar said that Shehbaz Sharif is directly involved in the money laundering case, all the evidence has come, now it is the job of the courts.
    




    PM Khan responded that Shehbaz Sharif has robbed money of the people and he has to give an account of every penny.
    




    The premier further said that both Shehbaz Sharif and Hamza Shehbaz distributed official positions by taking money. “If they had not done money laundering, the situation in the country would not have been like this.”
    




    PM Khan directed his spokespersons to highlight the issue of money laundering.
    




    Later, Shahzad Akbar during a press conference said, “Shehbaz Sharif is the ringleader of a money laundering gang. He and his son Hamza have been found involved in corruption and money laundering worth Rs16 billion in the Ramzan Sugar Mills case.”

    ‘It’s fake news’: Hammad Azhar says govt never promised gas supply three times a day
    
			
    ‘It’s fake news’: Hammad Azhar says govt never promised gas supply three times a day
    
			
    

    Federal Energy Minister Hammad Azhar, while discussing Pakistan’s gas crisis on the Geo News‘ programme ‘Naya Pakistan’, said that the media reports stating that the government had ordered gas supply only three times a day was “fake news”.
    




    “First of all, this fake news [was associated with me] that gas will only be supplied three times a day,” he stated. “I was asked in the Senate about it to which I said the government never made any such commitment simply because it is not possible to do so.”
    




    


    




    The minister said it is not “logistically possible” to cut off gas supply connections in people’s homes numerous times during the day to ensure that gas is available three times a day.
    




    “We did, however, tell the gas companies to try and prioritise gas pressure for domestic consumers three times a day when people prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner,” he clarified.
    




    Earlier in November, the government decided to provide gas to the residential sector only three times a day for cooking purposes throughout December to March to minimise gas shortages in Pakistan.
    




    “Gas to residential sector shall be provided three times a day for cooking only,” the meeting was informed by the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Divi­sion), who added that Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) diversion to domestic consumers is to be made bare minimum for stability.
    




    This was all decided by Cabinet Committee on Energy (CCoE) during a meeting presided over by Minister for Planning and Develop­ment Asad Umar. This is part of the Gas Load Management Plan for winter 2021-22, which was presented to the committee.

    ‘Clearly I’m home’: Saqlain Mushtaq shares video with daughters putting clips on his beard
    
			
    

    Interim head coach of the national cricket team, Saqlain Mushtaq, recently shared a video on his social media in which he can be seen sitting on a couch and his daughters are putting small clips on his beard and hair.
    




    Sharing the video on Twitter, the former Pakistan spinner wrote: “Clearly… I’m home after a long three months of cricket serving the great Pakistan.”
    




    


    




    The former Test off-spinner was appointed as the interim head coach after Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis resigned from their posts. He was appointed only for the New Zealand home series, which was cancelled after the visiting team left Pakistan before playing any match. The Black Caps backed out of its tour due to security concerns minutes before the first match was scheduled to start at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
    




    Mushtaq was asked to continue in his role for the T20 Men’s World Cup as well as the series against Bangladesh and West Indies.
    




    Under Mushtaq’s tenure, Pakistan began an unbeaten run in the T20 World Cup till they were eliminated in the semi-final. Recently, the Men in Green also defeated Bangladesh on their home ground. While the national side also defeated West Indies with a clean sweep in the three-match T20I series in Karachi.
