    Zoya released the video on Twitter

    Even though it is obvious that he knew he was being filmed, he continued the act and then after finishing, walked away from her. After she continued filming him, and he tried to block his face, he came towards her, trying to hit her but she ran away.

    Twitter was surprisingly divided on the issue, with Zoya having to give clarifications.

    With others also coming to Zoya’s defence.

    Indian army chief responds to PM Imran’s warning, threatens to cross LoC

    Reacting to Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s warning to the world if tensions between Pakistan and India escalate to a nuclear war, Indian Army chief General Bipin Rawat has threatened to cross the Line of Control (LoC) “if they have to”, Times of India reported.

    According to the details, Bipin’s remarks came after the premier, in his United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) address, warned the world of a potential nuclear war if India continued its actions in held Kashmir.

    Bipin said that PM Imran “must understand that nuclear weapons are meant for deterrence and they are not to be used in a conventional war”.

    The Indian army chief said that the “2016 surgical strikes and the Balakot airstrikes in 2019 sent a clear message to Pakistan that India is not interested in playing a hide and seek” game anymore.

    BOGUS SURGICAL STRIKES & FAILED AIRSTRIKES:

    On September 28, 2016, India had claimed that the country carried out surgical strikes on seven terror launch pads across the LoC, inflicting “significant casualties”.

    The Pakistan military, however, had swiftly rubbished the notions of a surgical strike, saying, “This quest by the Indian establishment to create media hype by rebranding cross-border fire as a surgical strike is fabrication of the truth. Pakistan has made it clear that if there is a surgical strike on Pakistani soil, the same will be strongly responded.”

    Three years later, following the Pulwama incident in which 44 Indian paramilitary soldiers lost their lives, two Indian aircraft entered Pakistani air space on February 27 for the second time in two days, engaged with Pakistan Air Force (PAF), and as a result, were shot down.

    The wreckage of one of the planes landed in Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK), and the wreckage of the other plane landed in the Indian-occupied Kasmir (IoK), Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) had confirmed at the time.

    Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was held captive following the aerial dogfight, was handed over to India on March 1 in a peace gesture after PM Imran had announced to release him in an attempt to “de-escalate tensions” between the two countries.

    Minister of State for Climate Change Zartaj Gul has said that Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan “is the only PM who addressed the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in his beautiful mother tongue, Urdu”.

    In a video doing rounds over the internet, Gul, while addressing a gathering, can be heard as saying, “It is our Prime Minister Imran Khan who managed to garner respect for white shalwar kameez and spoke to the UN in his beautiful mother tongue, Urdu.”

  • ‘If selected, he’s the best selection ever,’ Imran’s fans quote fake US senator

    ‘If selected, he’s the best selection ever,’ Imran’s fans quote fake US senator

    In a rather embarrassing development, supporters of the Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government have quoted a fake United States (US) senator as praising the Pakistani premier.

    “If he is selected then it might be the best selection ever, and if he is elected then Pakistanis are the most wise nation in the world [sic],” a group of Twitterati quoted “US Senator Tony Booker” as saying after PM Imran on Sunday arrived in Pakistan after his successful trip to the country.

    The problem? Tony Booker doesn’t even exist.

    Pointing out what was wrong with the quote, journalist Omar Qureshi took to Twitter and wrote:

    Cory Anthony Booker is an American politician serving as the junior US senator from New Jersey since 2013 and a member of the Democratic Party.

    Earlier, dozens of supporters of the ruling PTI flooded the micro-blogging website with praise for PM Imran.

    Meanwhile, others took some time out to troll those who fell for the fake statement.

  • ‘Hassan Ali isn’t my wife,’ says Shadab

    Pakistani cricketer Shadab Khan gave a witty response while speaking to media on Sunday when a reporter asked him how he felt about the fast bowler Hassan Ali — being left out of the squad for Pakistan’s series against Sri Lanka.

    When asked how he felt about playing in a series without his friend Hassan for the first time, Shadab said: “It’s just friendship, you make it sound like our relationship is that of husband and wife”.

    “I do miss him because we have been playing together for a while now. Not just me but the entire team misses him as he’s always jolly”, he added.

    Shadab also took to social media and tweeted: “See Hassan, our friendship has made it to the press well”.

    “On a serious note, all the team is in good spirit for Pakistan vs Sri Lanka series, we will try to give it our all,” Shadab added.

  • ‘Stop trying to reach me through friends,’ ex-wife Reham tells PM Imran

    ‘Stop trying to reach me through friends,’ ex-wife Reham tells PM Imran

    Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s former wife, Reham Khan, has told the premier to “stop trying to reach her through friends”.

    Vowing to maintain pressure on the Imran-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, Reham rejected the notion that she was speaking against Pakistan in her interviews to Indian media.

    “I say this clearly for all busy with propaganda against me that I am talking against Pakistan. Reham is not a puppet nor a PM hopeful nor does she stand to make estates in the US [United States] with war money, like your fathers have. Stop trying to reach me through friends,” she wrote.

    Reham further said that she “would not listen to corrupt strangers”.

    “Have I ever listened? If I could not compromise on my idealism in a marriage do they really believe I will listen to corrupt strangers?,” she said in a subsequent tweet.

  • Imran’s 50-minute UN speech against 15-minute limit leaves Indian media whining

    Imran’s 50-minute UN speech against 15-minute limit leaves Indian media whining

    Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) bashed India for 50 minutes, exceeding the 15-20-minute time limit that leaders have to follow and Indian media can’t control their frustration.

    The Indian media outlets including Times of India, NDTV among others are praising Narendra Modi for speaking for 16 minutes, within the given time limit.

    But Modi in his speech failed to mention the situation in occupied Kashmir and the growing tensions with Pakistan.

    PM Imran, however, talked about issues including Kashmir, money laundering, Islamophobia, and the damage caused by climate change and it is gaining recognition around the world.

    Indian media instead of focusing on the content of the speech is raising a foolish argument and criticising PM Imran on the fact that he exceeded the given time limit.

    On the other hand, the international media outlets are criticising Modi for skipping any mention of his government’s crackdown in the Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK). Similarly, Al Jazeera also noted Modi’s silence during his speech regarding the Kashmir issue.
