    FO condemns ‘malicious smear campaign against Pakistan’ by former Canadian minister

    The Foreign Office (FO) strongly objected to the remarks made by a former Canadian minister, saying his comments betrayed a lack of understanding of the Afghan peace process as well as showed ignorance about facts on the ground.

    In a series of tweets, the Foreign Office addressed the matter and said, “We strongly condemn the unwarranted comments by former Canadian minister Chris Alexander, making unfounded & misleading assertions about…Pakistan’s role in #AfghanPeaceProcess.”

    Chris Alexander, former Canadian minister posted on Twitter, “Taliban fighters waiting to cross the border from Pakistan to Afghanistan… anyone still denying that Pakistan is engaged in an ‘act of aggression’ against Afghanistan is complicit in proxy war & war crimes.”

    The FO also reiterated Pakistan’s policy on Afghanistan and said that international powers had begun to appreciate what Prime Minister Imran Khan had been saying for a long time. “Now when the world has acknowledged what…Pakistan & PM @ImranKhanPTI has consistently maintained abt there being no military solution to the conflict in #Afghanistan & the need for an inclusive, broad-based & comprehensive political settlement, such gratuitous commentary is deplorable,” it added.

    The FO further said that Pakistan had taken up the matter with the government of Canada. “The matter has been taken up with the Canadian side. We have urged the Canadian authorities to take steps to address this motivated and malicious smear campaign.”

    British swimmer Tom Daley knits while watching Olympic springboard final

    British swimmer Tom Daley, the Olympic gold medalist, caused a stir among Olympic TV viewers watching the women’s 3m springboard final on Sunday morning, when the cameras panned to the spectator stands and caught Tom watching the action while knitting.

    Social media was deluged with images of the 27-year-old, wearing his Team GB kit and obligatory mask, wielding needles and purple wool in the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.

    The moment came ahead of the third round of dives, shortly after China’s Shi Tingmao completed her second dive, cementing her lead. No British divers were competing.

    He also made a little medal case to prevent it from any scratches. The pouch is emblazoned with the Union Jack on one side and the Japanese flag on the other.

    The British diver, who won his first Olympic gold alongside Matty Lee in the synchronised 10m platform event last Monday, has called knitting “his secret weapon”.

  • Female politicians demand public hanging of rapists and murderers

    Female politicians demand public hanging of rapists and murderers

    Almost all the women lawmakers of the National Assembly, both from treasury and opposition benches, on Friday unanimously demanded the public hanging of all rapists, reported Dawn.

    The demand was made in the National Assembly by women members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

    Federal Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari said the government had recently passed a law against rape cases, but laws will not work alone. There is a need to change the mindset of our society about women.

    She said that the government has to protect all women as women will no more accept their humiliation and suffering.

    Mehnaz Akbar Aziz of PML-N said the killer of Noor Muqaddam must be hanged in public so that such incidents do not take place in the future.

    “If Pakistan has to be run, then rapists and killers must be hanged in public. We will not let the country be run in the way it is being run,” said PTI lawmaker Asma Qadeer who broke into tears while speaking on the floor of the house.

    Asma Qadeer talked about the rising cases of rape of women and children and the recent beheading of Noor Mukadam.

    PPP’s Shamim Ara Panhwar said that in the light of increasing incidents of child abuse and rape of women, there was no other option but to hang rapists and killers in public.

  • Pakistani-Italian girl in Italy goes missing after she refuses arranged marriage

    Pakistani-Italian girl in Italy goes missing after she refuses arranged marriage

    An 18-year-old girl, Saman Abbas, has been missing for three months in Novellara, Italy.

     Local prosecutors and police fear Saman’s family may have killed her. But after 67 days of searching, neither Saman nor her body has been found.

    According to journalist Aliya Salahuddin, Saman’s parents had arranged her marriage with her cousin in Pakistan. Saman approached social services and was sent to live with a protective community.

    According to the BBC, Saman had lived under the protection of social services since October, but returned to the family home in Novellara, near Parma, in late April.

    Saman wanted to marry Saqib, who lives in a city near Rome. Saqib told the Independent Urdu that Saman’s parents disliked the relationship and they had also threatened him.

    According to Saqib, Saman tried hard to convince his parents. Saqib himself spoke to Saman’s mother but she was not ready to accept him.

    “We were sure the Italian system would help us,” said Saqib. But the system had its own conditions. They needed Saman’s identity card and other documents that are required for a wedding in Italy. Saman did not have any option so she went back to her home with the intention to make a last effort to persuade her parents and get her documents.

    It was April 20 when Saman went to her home in Novellara. Ten days later, on April 30, it was the last time she contacted Saqib via text message. Later, CCTV footage showed Saman leaving the house with her family on the night of April 30, but she was not with them when they returned.

    After spending a few days at her home, Saman suspected that she was in danger. Once she sent a voice message to Saqib saying that she heard her parents saying ‘kill her’ and when she asked her mother for an explanation, she replied: “No no it is not about you. This is a girl in Pakistan who ran away, we are talking about her.”

    Saqib said that Saman had told him that if he does not get any message from her for a few days then he should understand that there must be something wrong and he should report it to the police.

    Saqib did report it to the police. He approached the police in his area. The search operation conducted by the agencies took a few days and there was a bit of negligence, but on May 5, the police arrived at the Saman’s house from the local station of Blakhar Novellara to check. The house was locked and the police got to know that her parents had gone to Pakistan.

    No ticket was issued in Saman’s name. The Italian authorities then proceeded with the case.

    The local prosecutor named five people in the murder investigation.  Saman’s mother, father, uncle and two cousins. The younger brother has been questioned and a cousin is in police custody who was arrested on a bus travelling without documents from Paris to Barcelona in France.

    On July 12, the Italian police stopped the search. This does not mean that the case is closed. According to local media, police sources said that the quest was stopped because there was no place left in the area where Saman’s body had not been searched. Saqib is hopeful that there may be a possibility of Saman being alive and that she may have been forcibly kept somewhere.
