She all those watching to talk about the issue openly so that the pleas of the Palestinians could be amplified and heard across the world.

    “Don’t stop talking! Be a better person,” wrote Aamir in the caption.

    Hania also regretted how she was posting Eid photos and videos on social media instead of talking about the ongoing situation of Palestine.

    The Ishqiya actor added that civil pressure is important for social change, saying: “So talk about it, just one hashtag or two hashtags won’t harm or consume your time.”

    She continued: “Let’s not make this topic convenience related. If you feel ashamed or broken for Gaza, then change your perspective on how you celebrate life of social media and put that particular light on the current chaos in Palestine.

    “Don’t showcase happiness if you feel helpless,” she added.

  • Shehbaz files contempt petition in LHC against FIA officials

    Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif submitted a contempt petition in the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday, against six officials who allegedly barred him from flying abroad despite the court’s order granting him permission.

    PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif’s name has been added to the Exit Control List (ECL).

     Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry, in a tweet said that with the approval of the cabinet and completion of all legal formalities, Shehbaz’s name was added to the no-fly list.

    Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said that Shehbaz had not submitted any medical documents for travelling abroad or specify the treatment for his illness.

    “This is the first time that a verdict was given the same day a petition was filed. Shehbaz was trying to flee the country,” he remarked.

    Sheikh further added we want fair treatment for all prisoners and this is not fair. “What are the chances that Shehbaz Sharif will return when his brother Nawaz Sharif has yet to come back?” said Sheikh.

    He added that the PML-N leader may influence the approvers.

    Rasheed said Shehbaz can file an appeal against the decision in the Interior Ministry within 15 days.

    Earlier this month, the Lahore High Court granted Shehbaz permission to travel abroad once for medical treatment.

    After obtaining bail, Shehbaz was about to fly to London when an FIA team at the airport stopped him from travelling on the grounds that his name had been on the list of persons barred from leaving the country.

  • Harry hints Meghan behind attacks on royal family

    Harry hints Meghan behind attacks on royal family

    Prince Harry in a recent podcast interview has suggested that Meghan Markle is behind his attacks on the royal family.

    “My wife had the most amazing explanation … you don’t need to be a princess, you can create [a] life that will be better than any princess,” Harry told Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert. “And that’s coming from her own lived experience.”

    Harry suggested Meghan’s comments completely changed his view of royal life and set him up for the situation he’s in now, publicly criticising his family and lashing out at Prince Charles’ parenting skills.

    The younger son of Charles and Princess Diana compared his royal life to The Truman Show, suggesting growing up in palaces, being waited on hand and foot and attending the world’s top schools was “like being an animal at the zoo.”

    Harry’s remarks have not gone over well. Many pointed to apparent hypocrisy in the amount of publicity Harry and Meghan have sought since their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, which reportedly left Prince Charles “fuming.“

    Yasir Hussain staged question about ‘uninvited guest’ at wedding

    Nadeem Baig has revealed that Yasir Hussain wanted the uninvited guest question to be asked himself on Vasay Chaudhry’s Ghabrana Mana hai.

    The Meray Paas Tum Ho’s director appeared on Nida Yasir’s Eid Special Morning Show and almost two months after the comments landed Yasir in hot water and sparked a heated war between him and Shah, the talk show’s director Baig revealed what had led to that contentious question.

    Hussain had unleashed havoc after he stated that fellow actor Nausheen Shah demanded an invitation to his and Iqra Aziz’s wedding in 2019.

    The Jhooti actor, 37, was asked on Vasay Chaudhry’s talk show Ghabrana Mana Hai about whether any one of the attendees at his wedding had showed up without getting invited, to which he said he hadn’t invited Shah but she still came.

    Baig shared that his associate had gone up to Hussain prior to the show and asked him if there were any funny anecdotes he would like to be questioned about.

    The director said: “While he was getting his makeup done, he said, ‘Just ask me who showed up uninvited to my wedding.’”

    Nida had asked Baig about the controversies related to his show. He also said that everyone criticised Vasay for asking this question but actually he told us to ask this question.
