  • ‘Jo sazish rok saktay thay, unko bataaya tha ke barri mushkil se mulk ki economy sambhali hai’: Imran Khan

    ‘Jo sazish rok saktay thay, unko bataaya tha ke barri mushkil se mulk ki economy sambhali hai’: Imran Khan

    Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan while speaking to a public gathering said, “Jo sazish rok saktay thay, unko bataaya tha ke barri mushkil se mulk ki economy sambhali hai.” [Those who could stop the conspiracy I told them that we managed the economy with a lot of difficulty.]

    Khan on Friday claimed that he talked to “those who could have stopped the conspiracy” and also sent the then finance minister Shaukat Tarin to have a word with them but it turned out to be a futile exercise.

    “I am ready to go to jail and even die for this cause but I would never accept becoming a slave to the United States,” he said, adding that the “three stooges” [Asif Zardari, Shehbaz Sharif, and Maulana Fazlur Rehman] had hatched a conspiracy against his government in collaboration with the US.

    “Handlers, while sitting in the US, toppled a sitting government in Pakistan,” he said. “We would, therefore, continue a campaign against this conspiracy until elections are called anew.”

    Referring to PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Imran Khan said: “One of the brothers hurls abuses at the country’s army, while the other resorts to bootlicking.”

    He further said that PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari suggesting the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) reforms is “a sign of the Judgement Day”.

    “Those who could have stopped the conspiracy should know that the PTI government had stabilised the economy with great difficulty,” he added.

    Hangout in London: PML-N leaders show off pictures from their trip

    Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif and his party members have gone to London to meet Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif.

    PM Shehbaz’s 10-member delegation includes Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal, Power Minister Khurram Dastagir, Finance Minister Miftah Ismail, and Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique, among others.

    The PML-N leaders shared some special moments from their London trip with their followers on social media platforms.

    PML-N leaders who are currently in London remained tight-lipped about their discussions with the party’s supreme leader Nawaz Sharif.

    It is being said that the PML-N delegation took an oath “not just once but twice” to ensure that the issues that came under discussion before Mian Nawaz Sharif would not be revealed outside under any circumstances.

    The delegation did not share what policy direction was given by the Nawaz during the meeting at Stanhope House in London and stressed that any decision taken would only be announced after consultation with the government’s coalition partners.

    PML-N leaders take oath twice, vow issues discussed with Nawaz to remain secret

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders who are currently in London remained tight-lipped about their discussions with the party’s supreme leader Nawaz Sharif.

    It is being said that the PML-N delegation took an oath “not just once but twice” to ensure that the issues that came under discussion before Mian Nawaz Sharif would not be revealed outside under any circumstances, reports Dawn.

    After the meeting, the delegation talked to the media outside Hasan Nawaz’s office. They did not share what policy direction was given by the Nawaz during the meeting at Stanhope House in London and stressed that any decision taken would only be announced after consultation with the government’s coalition partners.

    Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that electronic voting machines (EVMs) will not be used in the next general elections.

    When asked to comment on the DG ISPR’s presser on the army’s role in politics, Rana Sana said, “Our position on this is exactly the same that institutions should not be involved in politics or be dragged into politics. It is very inspiring that courts and other institutions have at this moment played a role that is not political.”

    When asked if former Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan would be arrested, the interior minister said there would be no arbitrary arrest, but anyone found involved in illegal activities would be arrested and dealt with an iron hand after all legal requirements are met.

    Meanwhile, federal Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal said the basic purpose of the visit was to take stock of the real existing situation of the country and seek guidance from Nawaz Sharif as he is the most senior statesman of Pakistan. He said the party wanted to consult him so that in the coming days the government could steer the country out of crises at a fast pace. “Pakistan’s economy is in really bad shape and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has left it in a complete mess.”

    “We will take our partners in confidence on everything that we discussed with Nawaz Sharif. The national leadership will play its role to bring the country out of crises”.

    ‘Enjoying free ride on tax money’: PM Shehbaz’s London visit receives criticism

    Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif and the senior leadership of the main government party, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), have gone to London where they are due to meet with party supremo Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday.

     PM Shehbaz Sharif departed for London via a British Airways flight shortly after midnight. It is expected that he will remain in London for two to three days.

    The 10-member delegation consisting of PM Sharif, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal, Power Minister Khurram Dastagir, Finance Minister Miftah Ismail, and Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafiq, Attaullah Tarar, among others have gone to London.

    Their visit has received a lot of backlash from PML-N’s opponents to the general public. The timing of the PM and his top leadership’s visit to London is being questioned, with observers asking why such a trip is necessary when the country is in dire straits.

    Former PM Imran Khan said in a jalsa in Jehlum on Tuesday that the entire cabinet was going to meet a ‘corrupt and convicted’ person, that too on taxpayers’ money.

    “This entire cabinet is going to London on your [tax] money — they won’t spend their own money.”

    Later Twitter reacted to the news when Deputy Secretary-General PML-N Attaullah Tarar shared a picture of the delegation visiting London.

    Interior minister Rana Sanaullah said that the federal government is considering suspending former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s sentence.
    




    During an exclusive interview with Samaa News’ correspondent Asim Naseer, Rana Sana said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif was convicted on wrong grounds. “An innocent man has been wrongly accused, he [Nawaz Sharif] should be granted the opportunity to plead his case before a court,” the minister added.
    




    He also stated that the government has the authority to commute, decrease, or postpone the sentence of anyone.
    




    Sanaullah added that the PML-N chief should be involved in the next election campaign, while Maryam Nawaz would be in charge of leading it.
    




    In 2019, courts granted Nawaz permission to leave the country for medical treatment on the condition that he would return to Pakistan as soon as the treatment was completed to fulfill his ten-year sentence.

    4th bench: Maryam Nawaz withdraws passport return plea
    
			
    4th bench: Maryam Nawaz withdraws passport return plea
    
			
    

    PML-N Vice President  on Wednesday withdrew her petition filed in Lahore High Court (LHC) for the return of her passport so that she could travel abroad to perform Umrah.
    




    According to ARY News, the fourth bench – special division bench comprising Justice Ali Baqar Najafi and Justice Sardar Ahmed Naeem had taken up the petition Wednesday morning.
    




    During the hearing, Counsel for Maryam Nawaz Advocate Amjad Pervez, told the LHC that the PML-N leader wished to withdraw her plea.
    




    Maryam’s withdrawal comes after four benches were formed to hear the petition due to judges recusing themselves one after the other.
    




    Last week, a bench comprising Justice Ali Baqar Najafi and Justice Farooq Haider was hearing the petition when the former remarked that his colleague was not willing to hear the case due to unknown reasons.
    




    The matter was then sent to Chief Justice Muhammad Ameer Bhatti to place it before another bench. Later, another bench was constituted under the stewardship of Justice Najafi and comprising Justice Asjad Javed Ghural as a member.
    




    Shortly after the proceedings started, Justice Najafi said that Justice Ghural was not willing to proceed ahead with the case. The matter was once again sent to the LHC chief justice with a request to constitute a new bench.
    




    Before that, a two-judge bench headed by Justice Shehbaz Rizvi had refused to hear the case on April 21.
    




    It is worth mentioning here that former premier Nawaz Sharif’s daughter had submitted her passport in the court after it approved her bail in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case.

    Actor Aiman Khan termed former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as ‘thief’ on Instagram. The Baandi heroine commented this under his recent interview in which he called out Imran Khan for his economic administration of Pakistan. 
    




    




    Earlier this month she slammed Reham Khan for her viral video. 
    




    




    The Ishq Tamasha star expressed her disappointment on the video in which the Janaan producer can be seen saying to Imran Khan, “Kidhar hai Niazi? Dar gaya kya?”. 
    




    Aiman’s husband, Muneeb Butt shared anti PML-N trends on Qatari Twitter. 
    




    




    Recently he also lashed out on Reham for her latest tweet about actors supporting Prime Minister Imran Khan.
    




    Reham took a dig at celebrities who are supporting Imran Khan amidst the No-motion battle. 
    




    Muneeb was quick to hit back at her by saying that when she produced the Hania Aamir starrer Janaan, she took advantage of being Imran’s wife. 
    




    The Yeh Na Thi Hamari Kismat star termed Reham as a graceless ex.

    Earlier Muneeb bashed Nauman Niaz for his conduct with Shoaib Akhtar. After the nail-biting T20 World Cup match between Pakistan and New Zealand, Dr Nauman asked Shoaib a question, which turned into a fight when Dr Niaz asked Akhtar to leave the show.
    




    The clash started off when Nauman asked Shoaib Akhtar a question. Shoaib said Hassan Ali should not have bowled in the beginning as the ball was reversing later.
    




    Shoaib asked Nauman about Shaheen Shah Afridi’s ball reversing. “Did you see the game?”
    




    Nauman replied, “Yes, I saw the match.” In response, Shoaib Akhtar said again, “Were you lost?”
    




    During the same conversation, Shoaib went ahead and talked about giving credit to Lahore Qalandars while talking about Haris Rauf. However, Shoaib continued by mentioning Shaheen Shah Afridi.

    Actor Muneeb Butt has responded to the controversy by extending his support to the veteran cricketer.
    




    




    He also suggested to value national heroes while they are alive rather than after they pass away.
    




    On the work front, Muneeb was last seen in ARY’s Baddua opposite Amar Khan.

    VJ and actor Anoushey Abbasi took to her Instagram handle to react to an interview of former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif in which he is opening up about the economical damages that Imran Khan did to the country during his tenure.

    Recently Anoushey shared her stance on the online trolling of Turkish star Esra Bilgic by Pakistani fans over her recent Victoria Secret’s campaign. 
    




    The Sehra Mein Safar diva said that men should either unfollow her or focus on other things. 
    




    




    Recently Turkish Actor and Model Esra Bilgic aka Haleema Sultan, who is famous in Pakistan for the drama serial Diriliş: Ertuğrul’s, has been recently featured in Victoria’s Secret’s Turkish promotional campaign. Victoria’s Secret is famous for its lingerie collection.

    However, this is not the first time Esra has been trolled by Pakistani social media users. In September 2020, after months of being patient and forgiving Pakistani viewers for their comments on her choice of clothes, Esra Bilgiç slammed a troll who asked her not to wear “such dresses”.
    




    Under her Instagram post, a social media user by the name Astounding Ali commented: “Please don’t wear such dresses Halima baji, not good.” In response to his comment, Bilgiç remarked, “Let me give you a little advice: Don’t follow me. Thank you.”
