    ‘Braindead journalists’: Twitter reacts to Hassan Ali shutting down journalist during PSL drafts

    Pakistan cricket team’s star pacer Hassan Ali always remains in the discussion for some reason or the other. Once again, Ali is in discussion and this time the matter is a bit hot. This time the bowler had an argument with a journalist, whose video has now gone viral on social media. The draft event of the seventh season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) was held on Sunday December 12 in Lahore, where the incident took place.

    A press conference was also held on the sidelines of the draft event of PSL 2022. Ali also participated in this event and Ali, who plays for Islamabad United in PSL, was answering questions, when a journalist wanted to ask him a question but he refused to listen to his question.

    In the viral video, it can be seen that the journalist asked Ali a question but before hearing the question, he said: “Next question.” The journalist who asked the question was Anas Saeed. Anas tried to ask the question again, but Hassan again deferred by saying “next question”. Here a brawl started between the two.

    Anas asked Hassan to listen to his question, then Hassan said: “I don’t want to answer you.” Hassan further said: “You first sit on Twitter and write good things and then I will reply. You should not be personal with anyone. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) can’t stop you, but we have the right.”

    Ali looked quite upset during this and did not listen to Saeed’s question. The video of this spat between the two went viral on Twitter. Anas Saeed re-tweeted it and wrote, “Journalists have to face such allegations in every round, sometimes stealing eyes by calling it a caste allegation will not do anything. I will come back strong.”

    In another video, the journalist can be heard saying that rumours about Hassan circulate on social media while Hassan instantly said: “Next question please.”

    Earlier, Saeed took to Twitter and posted Ali’s video in which he was having a fun time with his teammates Khushdil Shah and Iftikhar Ahmad. While Anas Saeed took to Twitter and pointed out that taking off the masks on a flight is against the Covid-19 protocols.

    Meanwhile, several sports journalists critised the cricketer while many fans extended their support for him.

    ‘Shaan-e-Pakistan’, Justice Rana Shamim’s son announces the formation of own political party

    Advocate Ahmed Hasan Rana, son of former chief judge Gilgit Baltistan Rana Shamim, has announced the formation of his own political party.

    In a video shared by journalist Murtaza Ali Shah, Ahmed can be seen saying, “This [party] is only on WhatsApp right now, we have not officially registered it. Like-minded people, my friends from my school, college, and the university have got together to form this [political] party.”

    “Its name is Shaan-e-Pakistan, but there is some time required to launch it. We need funds. We are trying to establish it on our own, and trying our best to generate funds on our own. [We don’t want that we get stuck] like Imran Khan sahib,” said Ahmed.

    Talking about his strategy in running his political party, Ahmed said that he idolises the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. He said he will not bring a different political manifesto than the prime minister.

    “There should be a Madina ki riyasat, education should be free, there should be ease of doing business. One really needs to do things and not just talk,” said Ahmed.

    “Imran Khan has been trying but could not deliver from the past three years. All he says is ghabrana nahi hai [don’t worry]. He has failed to make a single policy,” added Ahmed.

    When asked how differently will Ahmed perform than the premier he said, ” I am a lawyer and we are told to make a policy first, implementation comes second.”

    “Khan sahib is doing the same as his predecessors Benazir and Nawaz, he is asking for another chance. I can do better than Khan sahib, I am certain of it,” said Ahmed.

    Ahmed was still drinking his famous “juice” while conversing about his future political plans.

    The Mera Naseeb diva spoke about how her personal life was sensationalised across the board, with her divorce being highlighted in the media repeatedly. Syra shared, “I don’t feel betrayed because I didn’t expect much. But I do find it very insensitive because where you are recycling a story and making connections again and again for the sake of likes and numbers, it’s very important for you to understand that someone else is actually living through what you are constantly talking about.” 

    Speaking about how, initially, the media storm made her feel vulnerable, the Project Ghazi star added, “I felt very exposed. I just kept wondering when people would stop talking about it so that I could process it on my own.”

    On the work front, Syra is currently starring seen in ARY’s Sinf-e-Aahan, written by Umera Ahmed and helmed by Nadeem Baig.

  • ‘Namaz in open spaces will not be tolerated’: CM of Indian state Haryana

    ‘Namaz in open spaces will not be tolerated’: CM of Indian state Haryana

    The Chief Minister (CM) of the Indian state Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar said that namaz should not be offered in the open, adding that an earlier decision where some sites had been reserved for the purpose had been withdrawn, reports The Indian Express.

    Khattar said the government had informed the police and the deputy commissioner that the issue needed to be resolved. “To resolve it, everyone offers prayers at their own place. Such practices should not take place in the open. This practice of offering namaz prayers here in the open will not be tolerated,” he stated.

    “They (Muslims) have said that they have several places where they should be given permission to pray. Some of their properties or those under Waqf board are encroached up, how they can be made available to them is being discussed. Or they can offer prayers in their homes. Offering namaz in the open and this confrontation, we will not allow this confrontation to continue,” Khattar said.

    The announcement came after tension in Gurgaon city, where Hindu groups in several episodes disrupted Muslim Friday prayers and put pressure on authorities to stop Muslims from offering the prayers in open spaces.

    Talking about the withdrawal of the agreement, Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Khattar said, “A decision had been taken earlier after consultation, but that decision too where some spots had been reserved, we have withdrawn it. Now, talks will be conducted with a fresh approach again. Everyone should get the facility. No one’s rights should be infringed, but no one will be forced.”

    Authorities there had reached an agreement in 2018 in which Muslims were allowed to offer prayers at designated areas in the city.

    While the CM meeting was on, some local residents and members of pro-Hindutva groups occupied the area outside the Sector 37 police station, which had been reserved for namaz prayers.

    It is reported that the group conducted a “condolence meet” to mourn the demise of Chief of Defence Staff of the Indian Armed Forces (CDS) Bipin Rawat and other defence personnel who were killed in a helicopter crash.

    The group also chanted slogans of “Jai Shree Ram” (Hail Lord Ram) and “Bharat Mata ki Jai” (Hail Mother India) at the site.

  • Woman murders man, slashes body into pieces

    A 40-year-old woman brutally killed a man and chopped up his body into pieces in the area of Saddar, Karachi. The couple was allegedly cohabiting together for many years.

    On Friday, officials were informed through helpline 15 about the murder at 3am and they rushed to the location which was Ilaco House in State Life Building No. 5 off Abdullah Haroon Road.

    Preedy Police Station House Officer (SHO) Sajjad Khan said that police found the body of a man lying on the floor over a pile of old clothes in the apartment on the mezzanine floor of the building.

    Police officials said that the man’s hands were found separated from the body in a nearby box. The SHO added that a woman was sleeping in another room who appeared to be under the influence of drugs.

    According to the witnesses and neighbours, the victim and suspect were in a live-in relationship but the woman claimed that she was his wife.

    Sajjad Khan said, “According to neighbours, the two usually quarrelled with each other over domestic issues, such as finances for various expenditures.”

    Police have collected evidence from the crime scene and the woman also has been arrested. The son and relatives of the victim were also called to complete legal procedures.

    A First Information Report (FIR) was also registered against the woman under section 302 (premeditated murder) of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). The FIR was filed under the name of the victim’s son, Sheikh Mohammad Shahid.

    The victim’s body was moved for postmortem to Jinnah Post-Graduate Medical Centre (JPMC).

    According to the Additional Police Surgeon of JPMC Dr Summaiya Syed, the victim’s head was smashed open so brutally with a hammer or similarly hard instrument that the matter of the brain was visible and there were three fractures on the skull. His head was beheaded and his both upper limbs were also chopped off. Some injuries on a body were also examined.

    It was reported from the initial medical assessment that the victim was killed with a hard instrument and then his body was cut into pieces with a sharp shaped instrument like a knife.

    The female suspect was also brought for medical examination where she revealed that she has consumed ice which is known as crystal meth.

    The family of the victim told the police that they were not aware of the exact relationship between their father and suspect except that they had been living together for around six to seven years.

    A police officer also said that a female child was also living with them which the suspect claimed was the daughter of the deceased.

    The SHO said, “but the victim’s son told the police that when the family asked for the child’s DNA sample, the suspect did not allow them to take it.”

    Investigations are still undergoing as SHO said.
