    Punjab government revokes ban on TLP

    The government on Sunday revoked the ban on Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).

    The notification in this regard was issued by the Ministry of Interior on Sunday, a day before a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security is being held in the National Assembly in which the Opposition members are expected to debate on this matter.

     “The provincial cabinet has considered the request of the organisation and in view of the assurance and commitment by the organisation, is of the opinion that the said organisation shall abide by the Constitution and laws of the country and therefore, keeping in view the larger national interest and long term perspective to ensure that such incidents do not recur in future, the government of Punjab has proposed to the federal government to consider revoking of proscription of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan,” read the notification.

    “In exercise of the powers conferred under sub-section (1) of Section 11U of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997 (as amended), the federal government is pleased to remove the name of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan from the First Schedule of the said Act as a proscribed organisation for the purposes of the said Act,” said the notification.

    TLP had been placed in the First Schedule as a proscribed organisation by the federal government on April 15 this year on the recommendation of the Home Department of Punjab.

    The Punjab government initiated the process to unban TLP last week. Punjab Home Department sent a summary for the revocation of the TLP ban to Chief Minister (CM) Punjab Usman Buzdar and his cabinet.

    Man accidentally throws Rs3,139,500 in trash bin

    A businessman in  Greece accidentally threw a bag containing 19,000 Euros (RsRs 3,139,500) in a dustbin after mistaking it for garbage.

    As per reports, a businessman from the Greek Island of Limos was carrying cash in a bag and a garbage bag on Monday. On his way to his office, the man dumped both the bags into the dustbin. After reaching his shop, he realised that he had mistakenly dumped the bag with the cash as well.

    The businessman told the local media that after realising his mistake, he ran to the area where he had dumped the bags but the garbage bags were missing.

    “I panicked and stopped the cops and told the officers about the money and how I threw it accidentally into a dustbin,” said the businessman.

    The police officers along with him located the garbage truck and caught up with the vehicle at the island harbour before it could dump the contents for burning.

    The businessman told the local media that he, along with three officers, reached the rake and started searching through all the trash. After a few minutes of searching, they found the first garbage bag but the bag filled with money was still missing.

    According to reports, the man and the police officers on finding the first bag were hopeful that they would locate the one with money too. The businessman and the cops searched each garbage bag in the dump and finally found the bag with the euros after searching for almost an hour.

[On the other hand] it is the lowest in Pakistan at Rs146.”

    ‘Wo uskay talway chatay’: Nadia Hussain blasts Sadaf Kanwal

    Actor and model Nadia Hussain appeared on Waseem Badami’s show Har Lamha Purjosh for the Masoomana Sawal segment.

    On being asked about her statement on the show Hamare Mehman about societal gender roles especially in a marriage, Nadia clarified her context.

    She stated in the interview that “It’s not my responsibility to look after my husband and his things. He’s not my child whom I have to look after all the time, he’s my life partner. To demand and to expect that a woman whom you’ll marry will serve you with everything and will be responsible for all your work is totally wrong.”

    “I will never raise my children like that,” adding, “Why women are expected to do chores after coming from work?”

    Earlier in August 2021, she said that the society’s expectation from a woman to serve and cater her husband is wrong because her husband is her partner and not her child. The Benaam diva added that she is not raising her children the way society functions.

    The Noor Bano actor concluded her stance by stating, “A woman should have a right to divorce. My father-in-law told my mother about the clause -18 in Nikkah papers, in which a girl has a right to divorce. It is generally crossed in papers, but my father-in-law made sure to uncross that section.”

    When the host asked her about Sadaf Kanwal’s recent remarks over gender roles in marriage. Nadia criticised her and said that she has a problem with Sadaf’s comment because she used the phrase, “Yeh humara culture hai”.

    She even said that “Beshaq wo uske jhootay uthaye yaan uskay talway chatay, mujhe kya farq parta hai?”

    Sadaf Kanwal and Shahroz Sabzwari appeared on ARY’s Hamary Mehmaan. The Alif actress was asked about her take on equality in marriage, to which she answered that ‘Mard ka darja upar hai, wo kamata hai, khilata hai, bachon ka khayal rakhta hai’.

    She added that, ‘Mujhe Sherry ka zyada pata hona chahiye’, because she’s the wife.

    Actor Nausheen Shah appeared on Waseem Badami’s show Har Lamha Purjosh for the Masoomana Sawal segment. On being asked about the flak she received for an Instagram post of hers, the Deewar-e-Shab star broke her silence on the matter.

    As Aadi was one of the industry members who slammed her for her choice of wording, the Dugdugi diva said on his face that she chose not to respond to him because his level is not that high that she would respond to him.

    She said, “Maine to iska reply hi nahi kia, isko bilkul ignore kia.”

    She added, “You are very creepy, cheapness isi liye ki thi takay koi response aye but ap abhi us level pe nahi aye.”

    Shah earlier expressed her annoyance over being constantly berated by her mother for not getting married, saying that it is part of Pakistani culture for mothers to constantly remind a single woman to get married.

    “This happens only in this country. If you are not married your mother will remind you every day. Shaadi kerlo shaadi kerlo nhi kerne shaadi bhai maaf kerdo Jaan chordo (Get married, get married. I don’t want to get married. Let me be),” the actor had written tempestuously.

    Meanwhile, comedian and host Adeal Ajmal aka Aadi also got furious over Shah for using abusive language for Pakistan and Pakistani mothers.

    Criticising Shah for her comments, Aadi said: “Are you sure you want to use this term [expletive word] as a public figure? Maaf kerdo, jaan choro to you Mom? Are you sure to post this on your profile?”

    He also urged the actress to leave this country, if she has so much problem with it.
