  • Imran Khan will be taken into military custody in coming days: Nusrat Javed

    Imran Khan will be taken into military custody in coming days: Nusrat Javed

    Senior analyst Nusrat Javed, while talking on WE News, recently predicted that the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, will be taken into “military custody” in the coming days.

    “I am informing you that those for whom Qazi Faiz Isa is being humiliated are going to be taken into military custody in a few days,” claimed Nusrat Javed.

    He also stated, “The Target of Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters is not only Qazi Faiz Isa, but the entire judiciary; whoever gives decisions against them, they will humiliate and disgrace them.”

    According to Javed, the message has been clearly conveyed to the judiciary. When the host of the show asked Javed whether what happened to former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa was immoral, he replied, “Leave what happened to him in London. When Qazi went to get a donut with his family, was he not humiliated? After that old video went viral, did that donut shop not become a landmark for people?”

    Javed then asked a rhetorical question directed at PTI supporters: why don’t they treat ex-CJP Saqib Nisar the same way.
    “Saqib Nisar roams around Lahore freely. The travesty of justice in his era was unheard of. What did he do to constitutional avenue? Has anyone asked him while he’s roaming around in Pakistan or abroad? Has anyone ever asked him in public where the dam he was campaigning for is,” asked Nusrat.

    Earlier this week, a large group of PTI supporters and leaders gathered near Chancery Lane outside London’s Middle Temple to protest against former Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa.

    Dozens of PTI supporters and party leaders, such as Sayed Zulfi Bukhari, Sahibzada Jahangir and former MNA Maleeka Bokhari, made speeches outside the venue.

    Later, videos emerged of some infamous PTI supporters waiting for Isa’s car to come out of the building while hurling abuses at him.

    Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said the vehicles of the former CJP and the Pakistan High Commissioner in London were “attacked”, condemning the incident.

    In a statement posted on X, he ordered the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) to take immediate steps to identify the attackers through footage and take legal action against them.

    The statement added that further action would be taken through an FIR to block their identity cards and cancel passports.

    It further said that the attackers’ citizenship will be revoked immediately.

    “We cannot remain silent on this incident,” Naqvi said in the statement, questioning why there was no security provided to the ex-CJP amid threats.

  • ‘Mufti Qavi secretly monitors actresses,’ alleges Veena Malik

    ‘Mufti Qavi secretly monitors actresses,’ alleges Veena Malik

    Actress Veena Malik’s long standing feud with religious cleric Mufti Qavi has shifted into the fifth gear with the actress’ allegation that he secretly monitors actresses.

    “Mufti Qavi secretly monitors all the actresses. He knows everything about everyone,” Veena said on Hafiz Ahmed podcast.

    Malik then said that the controversial cleric once told her, “You possess beauty and charm.”

    She also talked about other matters including participation in Bigg Boss, and failed marriage.

    She said, “In the past, I enjoyed working on the Indian reality show Bigg Boss, but I never understood why people still criticize me for it. I even received threats after the show. Before becoming a part of the show, there is a written contract, that clearly states that there will be 56 cameras inside and 56 cameras outside the house at all times. It is their choice what to show and what not to show.”

    Answering the podcast host’s question about Mufti Qavi, she said, “Mufti Qavi secretly watches all the actresses and all their shows. He once told me, ‘You have beauty too.’ So, I asked him, ‘How do you know that I have beauty and charm?’”

    “The way I was shown in Bigg Boss, how did Mufti Qavi know all that? That was the question I asked him then, upon which he got angry.”

    She also said, “If honor and humiliation are in the hands of a human being, they will not take a minute to ruin your life, I don’t understand how people can be so hard-hearted.”

    Mufti Qavi once criticized her in the past and said, “Veena Malik can watch Bigg Boss with her children?”

    She replied, “My children are well aware of my work and they can see everything with me.”

    Earlier, Rumours are circulating on social media about actress Veena Malik’s marriage once again, following her teasing of fans and the public with hints about the mystery man in her life.

    When Geo Digital had a special conversation with her regarding this matter, she said, “This important change in life has been kept in front of everyone. When I finalise the date of the wedding, I will tell everyone. I will even reveal the groom’s face.”

    She laughed and added, “Those who are eager to see Shehryar Chaudhry’s face will get their wish fulfilled on the wedding day.”

    Remembering the past, Veena shared, “I started my career at a very young age and then decided to get married soon.”

    “Shehryar liked me but kept it to himself. On the other hand, I was busy with my career and life. During that time, I also studied for six years and completed my B.Sc and Masters, but I had no intention of getting married or settling down. It all happened very suddenly, and believe me, I am happy to feel all these emotions now. As for the children, they are more understanding now,” she explained.

    Veena Malik married businessman Asad Bashir Khattak in Dubai in 2013, and they have two children. However, the marriage ended after three years, with Malik citing incompatibility as the reason.

    “Shehryar Chaudhry belongs to a well-established family in Islamabad. He has a business of cars and property. Our first few meetings were in Islamabad because I am also from there. In these brief meetings, I found Shehryar to be a wonderful person. He is educated, handsome, and also a Hafiz of the Quran, and that is a quality that won my heart,” she shared.

    “I wanted a life partner who was both religiously and worldly connected,” she said.

  • Zulfi Bukhari dragged Imran Khan into Oxford University chancellorship candidacy for self-interest: Rubina Khanum

    Zulfi Bukhari dragged Imran Khan into Oxford University chancellorship candidacy for self-interest: Rubina Khanum

    Rubina Khanum, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan, lambasted Zulfi Bukhari over his recent role in marketing Khan’s campaign for the election of Oxford University Chancellor.

    In a viral video, Rubina Khanum stated that Bukhari, former Special Assistant to Khan, is not educated and that he believes having an Oxford University Chancellor from Pakistan is a big deal.

    “Zulfi Bukhari had dragged Imran Khan into the chancellor candidacy race for self-interest,” she said.

    “Imran Khan is in jail; what interest does he have in becoming Oxford University’s chancellor?” Rubina Khanum questioned.

    Zulfi Bukhari, a close aide of the PTI, had been active in campaigning for the incarcerated party founder Imran Khan for the Oxford University Chancellorship until Khan was blocked by the university administration.

    On October 16, former PM Imran Khan was expelled from the Oxford chancellorship race.

    Citing the reason for Khan’s ineligibility to run for the Chancellorship election, journalist Murtaza Ali Shah, two weeks ago, disclosed that a convicted person cannot become the University chancellor since he has been convicted in the Tosha Khana case.

    “A chancellor candidate shouldn’t be a member of a legislative assembly. Although currently, Imran Khan is not a lawmaker, there is the possibility of his premiership in future, on which the University has reservations,” he maintained.

    Following the expulsion of Khan’s candidacy from the Oxford University Chancellor race, Zulfi Bukhari alleged that the Pakistani government had pressured the university administration to remove Khan from the race.

    “The Oxford University made a very narrow-minded and pressured decision to block Imran Khan. The decision came as a big disappointment because Pakistan wanted Imran Khan to run in the Oxford University chancellor election. People from India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and many other Islamic countries wanted Imran Khan to take part,” Bukhari told a private news channel.

    The first round of the Oxford University Chancellor elections has been completed, and the top five candidates have advanced to the second round.

    The second round of voting will begin on November 18, and the new Chancellor will be officially announced on November 25. The new Chancellor will hold the position for a decade.

  • Actor-turned-politician Mithun threatens to ‘chop up’ Muslims

    Actor-turned-politician Mithun threatens to ‘chop up’ Muslims

    Actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has incited violence against Muslims in India, threatening to “chop them up” and burying them in the ground.

    As per the details, a viral video of his address at a political rally in West Bengal showed him responding to a statement made by opposition member Humayun Kabir ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

    “A leader says there are 70 per cent Muslims and 30 per cent Hindus [and] that he will ‘cut’ and throw them in the Bhagirathi [River]… I thought the chief minister [Mamata Banerjee] would say something. She didn’t… so now I am saying, we will chop them [up] and bury them in the ground,” the BJP leader can be heard as saying while addressing a ceremony to kick-off BJP’s membership drive in West Bengal.

    “I am not the chief minister… but I am saying this,” he said, adding that his party would do anything to win the “throne” of Bengal. “It will belong to the BJP after the 2026 assembly election.”

    “I am saying it again and again… we will do anything… anything. I am saying this with Home Minister Amit Shah Ji sitting here — we will do anything,” Chakraborty asserted.

    “I say we will cut you up and throw you, not in the Bhagirathi because that is our mother, but we will throw you in the ground,” he threatened in response to Humayun Kabir’s pre-election comment.

    “You are 30 per cent [of the people here] but we are 70 per cent… if you think you can demolish mosques and Muslims will sit back and relax… [you are wrong]. I will leave politics if I don’t drown you people in the Bhagirathi within two hours, I will leave politics. I will not let you guys stay in Shaktipur,” Kabir had said.

    Notably, the opposition member was reprimanded by the Indian Election Commission over his remarks.

    Mithun Chakraborty, however, relentlessly accused the Bengal state government of not allowing the Hindu community to cast votes.

    The 74-year-old actor has also served as a member of the Upper House of the parliament, the Rajya Sabha, for which he was nominated by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He resigned from Banarjee’s All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) in 2016 and later joined the BJP.
