    ‘You can never have the perfect man,’ says Mathira

    ‘

    Television host Mathira, known for her being bold and vocal, recently appeared as a guest on the Rukhsat podcast, where she shared her thoughts on the wrongs in marriages today.


    “First of all, we should know that there’s nothing called an ideal couple. I’ve learned this: you can never have the perfect man, and you can never have the perfect girl, but you can have a person that you feel safe with,” she said.

    “True love is when you feel safe with someone when you can act like your six-year-old, and you can understand that sometimes, even at your worst and even at your best. We also need to understand that a relationship is not 50/50. When your partner is down, you need to do extra work. Sometimes you’ll have to be 70, you’ll have to take it. But then when things go balanced and when you’re down, they need to do the same for you,” she explained.

    “We need to teach our kids one thing: when you get into something with the mental goal of perfection, stop trying to be perfect. You need to be transparent. Whoever you are, he/she accepts you with all your jadedness, with all your flaws, then you can elevate that person and be like, ‘You’ve seen all my flaws; now I will look past your flaws.’

    “So it becomes an exchange. You both will be like, ‘I have this issue; I will try to work on it.’ This is what you call teamwork, balancing each other’s loopholes, like you’re there for each other”, she advised.

    Mahira also pointed out a major misconception in society, saying, “We need to understand that sex is not everything, it’s just a small part of life, it’s not life, people can get used to a toxic relationship, and it’s like heroin. The biggest misconception in Pakistan is that women are more attracted to it.”

  • X finds Salman Akram Raja’s past remarks on judiciary’s seniority principle

    X finds Salman Akram Raja’s past remarks on judiciary’s seniority principle

    The coalition government successfully passed the controversial 26th constitutional amendment, aimed at judicial reforms, yesterday, which has been deemed as the “bleakest moment in our parliamentary history” by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Salman Akram Raja.

    The lawyer posted on X on October 20, “The bleakest moment in our parliamentary history is underway. A contrived body that should protect the basic constitutional value of an independent judiciary is about to hand over control of a suppressed judiciary to the executive effectively – Estab. Just 1 senator could save us.”

    While Raja has called the amendments a move to “suppress judiciary”, netizens refuse to forget the PTI leader’s past opinions about the judicial system.

    One social media user posted Salman’s tweets from 2021, in which he criticises the seniority principle in the elevation of judges of the top judiciary – a principle which has been amended through the 26th constitutional amendment.

    In August 2021, Salman wrote, “I have always maintained, including in our exchanges in the press, that the issue is the credibility of those making the appointments, not seniority as a principle per se. Seniority is in fact no principle at all. But credibility is key. Each appointment needs examination by the bar.”

    He also wrote: “Democracy is about interrogating power. The adoption of mindless seniority that stifles debate is acceptance of defeat. The credibility of those appointing is the key issue. Credibility is earned, doesn’t come with high office.”

    Furthermore, in a Twitter debate about judicial appointments back in 2021, the PTI leader emphasised that “seniority stunts the system.”

    Now, PTI strongly opposed the constitutional amendments and refused to vote in favour of the bill in parliament. The bill, containing 22 clauses, was presented by Federal Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar in the Senate, where it secured 65 votes, a two-thirds majority in the Upper House.

    The 26th Constitutional Amendment bill was tabled at the National Assembly following approval from the Upper House and passed with a two-thirds majority as 225 lawmakers voted in favour of the bill in NA, while the magic number in the Lower House was 224 votes.

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Sunni Ittehad Council’s 12-member National Assembly (MNA) opposed the Constitutional Amendments In the National Assembly.

    “225 members cast their votes for ayes, 12 for nos. Consequently, the bill is passed by the assembly by not less than two-thirds of the total membership of the assembly,” the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ayaz Sadiq, said.

    Following the passage of the bill from the NA, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif remarked, “Today’s amendment, the 26th, is not just an amendment, but an example of national solidarity and consensus. A new sun will rise, emanating across the nation.”

    ‘Nawaz Sharif was not in favour of 26th Amendment,’ senior journalist claims

    Political analyst Nusrat Javed has claimed that former Prime Minister (PM) Pakistan Nawaz Sharif’s body language was showing his lack of interest in passing the 26th Constitutional Amendment in parliament on Sunday.

    Appearing on Public TV’s programme Khabar Nashar, he said, “Nawaz Sharif ka dil hi iss ma nahi tha, mery khayal se wo dil se hi chah rahay thay kay ye na hi hu.”

    Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif was reportedly quiet at a dinner arranged by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif before tabling the 26th Constitutional Amendment. “Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chief Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) and President Asif Ali Zardari only remained engaged in verbal communication,” Nusrat Javed added.

    The political analyst further claimed that the PML-N supremo only kept advising lawmakers to try the different food dishes at the dinner. Otherwise, he remained silent.

    Citing Nawaz Sharif’s lack of interest in tabling constitutional amendments in parliament, he substantiated his claim by saying that Nawaz Sharif was the last to arrive at the National Assembly on Sunday.

  • ‘Contract was issued to kill Murad Saeed’ alleges Shehzad Akbar

    ‘Contract was issued to kill Murad Saeed’ alleges Shehzad Akbar

    Former Advisor to ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan on Interior and Accountability, Shehzad Akbar, has alleged that there was a “contract to kill Murad Saeed.” He claims that Imran Khan intervened and ordered Murad Saeed to stay hidden at all costs.

    In a small clip going viral on X, formerly Twitter, Shehzad Akbar states, “There is a reason why the ISI and the establishment are out to take Murad’s life: He is loyal to the core with Imran Khan and truly represents him. I’ve personally seen him and can attest to the fact that nobody’s more loyal to Imran Khan than him.”

    “I’m a witness to the fact that Imran Khan was completely aware how a trap was set against Murad Saeed to force him against Khan, but because it wasn’t possible, he had to be taken out of the way,” alleged the former Advisor.

    “I also know that at some point, a contract was issued to kill Murad Saeed,” claimed Shehzad.

    He also claimed that Murad Saeed was going to suffer “exactly the same” as journalist Arshad Sharif did in 2022.

    Arshad Sharif fled the country in August 2022 to avoid arrest after he was slapped with multiple cases, including sedition charges, over an interview with Shahbaz Gill – a close aide of former Prime Minister Imran Khan – during which Gill passed comments that were perceived as provocation to mutiny.

    He was killed by local police in Kenya two months later, with controversies surrounding his cause of death.

    That is why, according to Shehzad Akbar, Imran Khan has strictly ordered Murad Saeed to stay hidden.

    Last year, Akbar revealed that he was the victim of an acid attack outside his home in the UK, for which he later accused the Pakistani state. The former Advisor also initiated legal action against the Pakistan government in May 2024.

    After Imran Khan was ousted through a no-confidence motion in 2022, Akbar left Pakistan for the UK.

  • ‘I’m buying this chocolate with the money I should be spending on clothes’: Nadia Khan 

    ‘I’m buying this chocolate with the money I should be spending on clothes’: Nadia Khan 


     

    What does a girl do when she has to buy clothes but also loves expensive chocolates?

    Television host and actress Nadia Khan is facing this dilemma and like most of us, she is leaning more towards the culinary delight.

    During her appearance as a guest on Good Morning Show, Nadia Khan talked about her obsession with chocolate.
     
     
     
     
    The host asked, “A common woman is watching, sitting at home, and she doesn’t have much exposure. MashaAllah, your exposure has been from 13 to 23 years. Now, what will you tell her if she starts making small investments?”
     
     
    Nadia Khan said, “I think our girls are becoming very smart, so smart that imagine, a chocolate was launched in Dubai. It’s called Fix Chocolate, and it’s gone so viral and famous. It’s the one with almonds inside and comes in different flavors. My favorite is Kunafa and Pish, It’s such a delicious treat, only available in Dubai.” 
     
     
     
    “The story began with this woman who started making chocolate at home, she was good at it, but she thought, ‘everyone is making chocolate, what she can do differently’, so she added dessert inside the chocolate. There’s this tiny chocolate, and inside, there’s Kunafa dessert. You must have seen it; it’s gone viral. The chocolate expires in three days, so you have to keep it in the fridge and eat it within three days,” the Zun Mureed added.  
     
     
    “Look at our women, they’re so smart, they’re dealing with these things like pros, I don’t know where they’re getting these connections from, but every few weeks, consignments are arriving at the airport. Women are picking up these chocolates for 5000 and selling them for 8000. I buy them, and they’re being sold in black, I mean, I’ve already ordered four this month. All my clothing budget is going into chocolate.”
     
     
     Nadia is currently leading her show ‘Kya Drama Hai’ on Channel 24, where she reviews dramas.

    Indian group announces one crore reward for killing Lawrence Bishnoi in jail

    An Indian group has announced that more than one crore rupees will be rewarded to any police officer who staged an encounter to kill India’s notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently imprisoned.

    According to Indian media reports, Raj Shekhawat, the president of Chhatriya Karni Sena, made a major announcement regarding the jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

    In a video statement released on X (formerly Twitter), Raj Shekhawat announced, “Any police officer who encounters Lawrence Bishnoi will be rewarded with more than one crore, 11 lakh rupees by Karni Sena.”

    He further said, “This amount will be provided for making sure the safety of the policeman who is going to confront Lawrence Bishnoi.” Meanwhile, Karni Sena also assumed responsibility for the full security arrangements of the family of the policeman.

    The cause of conflict between Raj Shekhawat and Karni Sena with Lawrence Bishnoi is not Salman Khan, Sidhu Moosewala or Baba Siddiqui but with murder of former president Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi of Karni Sena.

    According to Indian media reports, a gunman killed the then Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena president Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi on 5th December 2023.
    Earlier, Goldie Brar, associated with Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang, had threatened to kill Gogamedi in an interview.

  • Fears rise as multiple hoax bomb threats received across India

    Fears rise as multiple hoax bomb threats received across India

    Following a blast outside a Central Reserve Police Force school in Delhi on Sunday, multiple hoax calls of bomb threats have been received by schools acoss the country, raising tension among the masses in India.

    Along with the CPRF, airlines have also been receiving bomb threats. Times of India reported that several schools, ten flights and 30 airlines have received threats so far, while the total number of threats has surged to more than 100 in a week.

    The threats were sent via email to the management of the schools late Monday night.

    Various international and local flights had to be diverted, causing inconvenience to the passengers.

    An India Today report about the hoax calls reveals that many of the callers have used VPNs with IP addresses tracing them to the UK and Germany, making the process of tracking them complicated.

    Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu was initially seen saying that the hoax calls had been made by minors and pranksters. Talking to ANI News Agency he said, “Whatever we know right now is that they are all individual people, most of them minors, who don’t understand the whole idea of what they are doing and they are creating this kind of inconvenience.”

    However, in a recent statement, he advocated stronger laws to combat these hoax bomb calls. He told the media that the Aviation ministry is consulting with the Home ministry to bring changes to the constitution. The proposed legislation suggests a five-year imprisonment for offenders and their placement on a no-fly list.

    Aviation expert Vandana Singh, while talking to India Today, stressed that this is not just about the image of the aviation industry anymore but about the “image of the country.”

    Meanwhile, the widespread problem of these hoax calls has put security agencies on high alert as more than 40,000 armed personnel have been deployed at airports across the country.

  • ICC reveals plans for big changes in ODI, Test formats

    ICC reveals plans for big changes in ODI, Test formats

    International Cricket Council (ICC) officials have planned to make major changes to promote Test and ODI cricket.

    ICC has declared it important to ensure floodlight Test matches to make cricket more popular among fans. Officials are of the opinion that pink ball cricket will not only populate the grounds but also generate income from the sale of tickets.

    During the ICC World Test Championship, each country gets to play three Test match series; currently, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and, to some extent, Pakistan are getting only two Test match series each.

    On the contrary, England, India, and Australia are playing a series of at least three Test matches, which creates a difference in points distribution.

    Similarly, in the ODI cricket format, it is also thought that the use of two balls should be limited to the first 50 overs so that the ball gets a little old in the last overs, and the bowlers can also be helped.

    Currently, two new balls are allowed during 50 overs, but the latest suggestion is to use one ball for the first 25 overs and the second for the remaining 25 overs.

    Tenure Extension of Jay Shah:

    The recent International Cricket Council (ICC) board meeting, held in Dubai, has revealed that the Board of Contol for Cricket in India (BCC) and its secretary, Jay Shah, plan to keep the chairman’s seat for six years.

    The ICC press release states that the tenure of the ICC Chairman and Independent Director might be increased from three years to six years.

    In August, Indian board secretary Jay Shah was elected unopposed as the president of the world governing body of cricket. ICC, which is likely further to strengthen India’s already ongoing monopoly on cricket.

    He will take over the post in December of this year from current chairman Greg Barclay, who decided not to take up the seat for the third time.
