  • Govt has ‘made up its mind’ to ban PTI, says Tarar

    Govt has ‘made up its mind’ to ban PTI, says Tarar

    The government is as determined as ever to ban opposition party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) after party founder Imran Khan told journalists in Adiala Jail that he called for protests outside GHQ, Rawalpindi.

    The government is interpreting Khan’s statement as an admission of guilt, while PTI leaders have been claiming that Khan meant a “peaceful protest.”

    Federal Minister of Information Atta Tarar said, “We have principally decided to ban PTI but are waiting for a broader consensus to impose the ban.”

    Earlier, when the government announced its decision to ban PTI, the ruling government’s ally party, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), distanced itself from the decision as it wasn’t consulted.

  • ‘I wish I had spoken more’; Radhika Madan’s emotional tribute to Irfan Khan

    ‘I wish I had spoken more’; Radhika Madan’s emotional tribute to Irfan Khan

    From TV screens to cinematic success, Radhika Madan’s journey has been remarkable, and her recent film Sarfira with Akshay Kumar has put her in the spotlight. During an interview with ETimes, Radhika Madan recalled her experience of working with the late great Irrfan Khan on the sets of Angrezi Medium.

    “I was watching the film to show my friend who had never seen it before, and I couldn’t help but wonder if I would ever be able to make a movie like that. It was Irrfan Sir that came to mind.”


    The actress revealed that she used to be really reserved on set and made an effort to give Irrfan Khan space.
    “I was just focusing on my character and wanted to see him as just my father. I thought I would have a lot of time with him to discuss movies, acting, and craft after the film, but he was going through so much. I never spoke unless I was spoken to,” Madan added.


    In Angrezi Medium, Radhikka played Irrfan’s daughter, receiving appreciation from audiences as well as critics.
    Irrfan Khan passed away on April 29, 2020, after battling with a neuroendocrine tumor for several months.

    Don’t let the trolls get to you, Umar. Shine on, you crazy diamond.

  • PCB tasks ICC with bringing India to Pakistan

    PCB tasks ICC with bringing India to Pakistan

    Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has handed over the responsibility of bringing the Indian cricket team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy to the International Cricket Council (ICC) after handing over the schedule and format to the council.

    India’s matches will be held in Lahore, and even if they reach the finals, they will have to play at Gaddafi Stadium. On the other hand, the budget approved by the ICC for the Champions Trophy also includes ancillary expenses. The purpose of ancillary costs is to hold the matches at another venue in case the Indian team does not come to Pakistan.

    The Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan next year, but India has yet to confirm. After discussions with participating member states, the council must now finalize the tournament as soon as possible.

    PCB has already written to the ICC about all the financial details, including the payment of revenue. On the other hand, the ICC is waiting for confirmation from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

    In 2023, the Indian team refused to come to Pakistan to participate in the Asia Cup. India had to play the matches in Sri Lanka by adopting a hybrid model. This time, Pakistan is rejecting the possibility of using the hybrid model in the Champions Trophy.

    A few days ago, the Indian media claimed that the blue-shirt matches at the event would be shifted to another venue, Sri Lanka or UAE, but the vice president of BCCI, Rajeev Shukla, denied these claims.
