    Jawad Ahmed vs Abrar Ul Haq: The war of words goes on


    Music legends Abrar Ul Haq and Jawad Ahmed ruled the 90s with their catchy bhangra and pop tunes. However, the two have been at odds since many years now, often exchanging harsh words.

    In a recent appearance on Public News, Abrar Ul Haq addressed allegations made by Jawad Ahmed, providing his side of the story. “When Jawad Ahmed called me a religious hypocrite, I was taken aback. I believe only Allah can judge me. Even if Jawad thinks I’m a hypocrite, I’ve reflected on my actions and don’t agree with his assessment. I often mention Allah in my statements, which seems to bother Jawad. He says a sinner like me shouldn’t talk about Allah. But I think people are just jealous. I pray to Allah to protect me from their envy. It’s a well-known saying that jealous people are consumed by anger due to their own failures.”

    Abrar then said he used to feel bad forJawad, “since I used to win honors based on the public’s vote, the jury’s verdict, or my popularity.” He alleged that Jawad copied him when it came to charity. “First he said that those who gave to charity were the ones who had failed in their careers. He used to pretend to be a caller in order to disrupt my charitable efforts, but it never hurt me.”

    “Public figures should expect criticism; it comes with the territory,” said host Ahmed Ali Butt. He emphasized that being in the spotlight means getting attention and criticism, whether it is desired or not.

    Fatima Effendi agreed, saying: “She must have thought that as once you write your name on Google, several suggestions come up, and she must have assumed that people were searching for her ‘hot pictures’.”

    Gangsters were planning to use minors to kill Salman Khan: Mumbai Police

    In a shocking revelation, notorious Indian gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar were reportedly planning to use minors to assassinate Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Mumbai police unveiled the chilling plot days after foiling another attempted attack on the superstar at his Panvel farmhouse.


    According to Indian news agencies, the Navi Mumbai Police have been actively investigating the matter and recently uncovered a video call conversation between Ajay Kashyap, a Lawrence Bishnoi gang member, and Dogar, an alleged accomplice from Pakistan. The conversation revealed that sharpshooters trained under Anmol Bishnoi and Rohit Godara are strategically positioned across Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Raigad, and Gujarat. These sharpshooters, following orders from Goldy Brar, have been instructed to use minors to attack Khan.


    The police also disclosed that 60 to 70 gang members are deployed to monitor the movements of the ‘Tiger 3’ star. A man named John has been specifically tasked with providing a vehicle for the operation.


    In light of this development, a case has been registered against 17 identified individuals, including Lawrence Bishnoi, his brother Anmol Bishnoi, gang member Sampat Nehra, Goldy Brar, Ajay Kashyap alias Dhananjay Tapesing, Sukha Shooter, Sandeep Bishnoi alias Gaurav Bhatia, Wasim China, Dogar, and others at Panvel Town police station.


    The video call also discussed plans to acquire weapons such as AK-47s, M-16s, AK-92s, and Zigana pistols for the assassination. The gang had conducted detailed reconnaissance of Khan’s travel routes, including railway stations, rickshaw stands, and the Panvel bus stand.


    Despite Salman Khan’s use of a bulletproof vehicle, sources indicate that the gangsters plan to ambush and shoot him near his farmhouse using AK-47 rifles. The Mumbai police continue to investigate and monitor the situation closely to ensure Khan’s safety.
