    TLP chief Saad Hussain Rizvi released

    Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Saad Rizvi has been released, party spokesperson Mufti Abid said on Thursday.

    A high-level meeting under Punjab Law Minister Raja Basharat could not reach a consensus on the release of Hafiz Saad Rizvi on Wednesday, reports Dawn.

    The meeting linked Rizvi’s release with the decision of the Federal Review Board, which had already been approached by the provincial government seeking withdrawal of its application regarding his detention.

    The local authorities have been directed to cooperate with the TLP in observing the first death anniversary of the outfit’s founder, Allama Khadim Rizvi.

    Last week the government removed Saad Hussain Rizvi’s name from the Fourth Schedule — a list of proscribed individuals who are suspected of terrorism or sectarianism under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), 1997.

    The Punjab Home Department issued a statement: “The name of Hafiz Mohammad Saad, being Ameer of Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan, a proscribed organisation, was listed in the 4th Schedule of Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, under Section 11-E on the recommendations of District Intelligence Committee, Lahore.”

    Rizvi was taken into custody in April shortly after the federal government declared the TLP a proscribed organisation under anti-terrorism laws and launched a broad crackdown against it.

    Nida Yasir lands in hot waters for making ‘saas-bahu’ fight for ratings

    Actor and Morning show host Nida Yasir is being trolled by Twitterati for inviting pairs of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law for the two to face off in front of an audience.

    A clip from the show doing the rounds on social media follows a mother-in-law complaining about how she had demanded for an educated daughter-in-law who can do domestic chores, emphasizing that her daughter-in-law has no interest in looking after domestic affairs. 

    The clip was shared by a host and social media influencer Kanwal Ahmed on Twitter, “Nida Yasir just topped her own problematic standards on this show where she invited saas bahus to complain about each other. Like here, a saas claims she hired a marriage bureau to find her a ‘perfect’ bahu who is educated but must stay home, only to discover she’s ‘phuar’. 

    In September 2020, Nida hosted a similar show which received flak.

    Earlier on Ahsan Khan’s show, the Nadaaniyaan star stated, “Interviews with known people usually get very high ratings but as soon as we switch to something more educational or informative the numbers fall. I love the more informative shows and so does the more educated demographic.” 

    Nida recently clapped back at a troll for age-shaming her.
