Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, in his first speech in the National Assembly, criticised the ruling government, the recent general elections of February 8, civil bureaucracy and the establishment.
Fazl emphasized that Pakistan was created through the democratic struggles of the people, “Neither bureaucracy nor establishment has a role in the creation of the country.”
Maulana took the sitting assembly to task asserting, “Is this a parliament of representatives of the nation or a setup arranged by the establishment?”
He also said this is the first kind of election in which the losers are upset and even the winners are not satisfied.
The JUI-F leader also supported Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Asad Qaiser’s demand for granting the right to the latter’s party to organise public gatherings, terming it the Imran-founded party’s “constitutional right”.
Fazl said that his party raised objections to the previous 2018 general elections as well, terming it similarly “fraudulent”.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Information Secretary Raoof Hasan does not think that the party will take back its former information minister Fawad Chaudhry.
Raoof said on a talk show at Hum News, “I did not receive any green light from PTI founder Imran Khan about taking Fawad back in the party’s camp.”
The Secretary Information of PTI stated that many left the party when it came under hard times and now want to come back because they have lost public support but Imran Khan didn’t approve their re-entry.
Hasan also said that a new leadership within PTI has emerged that is a lot more ideological and younger, after the May 9 incidents.
Meanwhile, another PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat also claimed that “some friends” were trying to re-induct Fawad in the party, however, party leadership and workers had reservations.
Singer-songwriter Asim Azhar has caught the attention of fans and followers alike with a bold move on social media. In anticipation of his upcoming debut album, Azhar has wiped clean his Instagram profile, deleting all previous posts and unfollowing everyone. The unexpected action has left fans puzzled but intrigued, sparking speculation about the reasons behind the digital cleanse.
When asked about it, Azhar explained that he wants to start a new chapter in his music career. “This debut album is a big step for me, and I wanted a fresh start,” he told a fan who was confused about the changes.
One person on Instagram said Azhar copied Taylor Swift’s style on social media. Azhar replied, “Many other artists have done similar things before her worldwide.” He added, “But yes, I love her too,” showing he’s not bothered by the comment. Azhar’s clear response showed he’s straightforward and not afraid to admit he’s a fan of other artists.
Azhar’s reply shows how tricky it can be to handle social media in the music world. It’s normal for artists to get ideas from famous stars like Swift. But they also need to find a balance between showing respect and being original.

Azaz Syed, senior journalist of The News, revealed on Geo’s ‘Report Card’ that Imran Khan, founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), was in contact with a few judges from Lahore and Islamabad during the past few years.
Referring to Faisal Vawda’s recent statement on Samaa News where he stated, “There were two judges who called Imran Khan when he was in the container and one of those judges is still serving.”
Azaz claimed that Faisal Vawda’s statement was indeed true.
Furthermore, Syed narrated, “The former Chief Justice of Lahore High Court, Amir Bhatti, directly contacted a judge in Islamabad and pressured him to take a decision in favour of Imran Khan.”
Azaz Syed implicated former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Saqib Nisar, who used to act as a liaison between the federal and Punjab judiciary on behalf of Imran Khan.
Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, Advisor to the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information, has once again reiterated the need to start a dialogue with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as the country reels from a surge in terror attacks.
Saif stated that the recent significant loss of lives on “both sides” should prompt Pakistan to opt for a peaceful way to get out of this mess.
“We must consider the possibility of dialogue if terrorists are willing to renounce terrorism. The situation must be approached realistically. Lives are being lost on both sides, and the only way to halt this is to pursue peaceful means. This does not imply any form of surrender to the terrorists.”
The statement comes a few days after CM KP Ali Amin Gandapur also said that the country needs to open a dialogue with terrorists because “Whatever we have done has gained us nothing.”
The Advisor also revealed that the terrorists are in contact with him, “Members of the TTP have been in contact with me, discussing their issues. At times, when the TTP has issues with the Pakistan army, they communicate it through me.”
Social media reactions were mostly critical of Barrister Saif.

Journalist Hussain Askari asked Moonis whether he was the reason the father-son duo chose to stick with PTI even though all matters had been settled with Asif Ali Zardari, Moonis replied, “I convinced him in the beginning but after that, all the decisions were his own.”
Askari then asked Moonis if former Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa was involved in their decision to lean towards Imran Khan, he replied, “When we got offers from both sides my father called General Bajwa and asked what he should do. When Bajwa said that he should do whatever he wanted Pervez Elahi reiterated that he would do whatever General Bajwa wanted and then finally Bajwa replied that it was his wish that he [Pervez Elahi] support Imran Khan.”
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senator Irfan Siddiqui said on Friday that neither an “unseen power” nor Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif blocked the way of the former prime minister’s return to the PM house.
Speaking during Geo News programme ‘Geo Pakistan’, Siddiquie said that he rejects the idea that an “unseen power” or PM Shehbaz blocked Nawaz Sharif from becoming prime minister for the fourth time.
The senator said that when he met Nawaz before the election, he felt that Nawaz was not eager to take the role.
“I was present in the meeting where Nawaz Sharif announced to give the premiership to Shehbaz Sharif. Even if Nawaz had even 1% desire to become PM, is there any power that could stop him from becoming PM?” he asked.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanaullah has urged significant political figures in the country to talk to each other, stressing that “Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan should also communicate with the establishment.”
Speaking on Samaa TV’s show ‘adeem Malik Live’, he said that the current political situation unfolded because of May 9 riots. “Imran Khan is the cause of political instability in the country and he should accept this.”
The PML-N leader urged political parties and party leaders to give space to each other for open dialogue, as it is essential to understand the political environment. When questioned about the possibility of direct contact between Imran Khan and the establishment, Sanaullah maintained that the “modality of communication would be determined by the involved parties.” He asserted while addressing concerns about interference in March 2021 Senate polls that “There is no evidence of establishment intervention.”
An accountability court in Islamabad has instructed former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi, to avoid making negative comments about the military and the judiciary. The court also directed the media not to highlight “political or inflammatory” statements made by the couple.
Judge Rana Nasir Javed barred the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and his wife from speaking against state institutions while he disposed of a petition seeking a fair trial in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
According to the court order, the former prime minister made a proactive statement against senior officials of state institutions, including the army and judiciary. The statements not only disturbed the court’s decorum but were also an obstacle to providing justice.
The court directed the prosecution, the accused, and their defence counsel to avoid statements that disrupt the decorum of the court.
