The resolution called on the federal government to give him the title of “Quaid-e-Awam” (Leader of the People) and to award him the highest civilian honour, Nishan-e-Pakistan.

Phool learns to survive alone in the real world with help from a stellar supporting cast. Jaya on the other hand, dreams of studying organic farming and live the life she wants to. Deepak and Phool’s story remains as innocent as possible, while Jaya’s story is that of hope and has more emotional depth. The writer simply and beautifully conveys the significance of female friendships, sisterhood and bonding. But life goes on and sometimes it teaches us the very lessons we were afraid to accept. Even if we enjoy socializing, there are situations in which we may find ourselves alone. However, I believe that we become our strongest selves when we learn to live contentedly by ourselves.
We no longer have expectations from anyone at that time, and nothing can harm us. In this film there are some new faces, but if new talents are like this, then the new character needs to give more opportunity than experienced actors.

The two spouses board the same packed train. Phool Kumar is left alone at the train station after Deepak and Jaya unintentionally get off the train. While Pradeep is in love with the dowry Jaya’s family gave him, Deepak is in love with Phool. The story revolves around Deepak’s reunion with Phool.

With a wide distribution network spanning numerous cities, fans from various regions will have the opportunity to enjoy the finale in a cinematic setting.
Ishq Murshid, starring Durefishan Saleem and Bilal Abbas Khan in the lead roles, has garnered widespread acclaim both locally and internationally.
The series, which revolves around the love story of two individuals from contrasting backgrounds, has captured the hearts of millions of viewers worldwide.
Notably, the show has amassed millions of views on YouTube, highlighting its immense popularity and appeal.
Written by Abdul Khaliq Khan and Imran Ashraf, and directed by Farooq Rind, Ishq Murshid boasts a stellar cast including Omair Rana, Zarmeena Ikram, Samiya Mumtaz, and more.

New Delhi, India – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi denied Monday that his country was sliding towards autocracy, following accusations that his government orchestrated criminal probes to weaken rivals ahead of an ongoing general election.
Modi, 73, remains resoundingly popular after a decade in office, and he is widely expected to win a third term when the six-week-long national polls conclude in June.
His prospects have been further bolstered by several criminal investigations into opponents, including a tax probe that in February froze the bank accounts of Congress, India’s largest opposition party.
But Modi said the suggestion India was becoming “an electoral autocracy” under his rule was a fiction spread by his disgruntled rivals.
“Because the opposition is not able to get power, they start defaming India on the world stage,” he told the Times of India newspaper in an interview published Monday.
“They spread canards about our people, our democracy and our institutions.”
India’s press freedom rankings have declined markedly since Modi took office in 2014, while restrictions on civil society have seen rights groups such as Amnesty International severely curtail their local operations.
This year Modi is being challenged by a motley alliance of more than two dozen political parties, several of whom have leaders either under investigation or in jail facing criminal charges.
Modi’s chief opponent Rahul Gandhi, the son, grandson and great-grandson of past Indian prime ministers, was briefly disqualified from parliament last year after being convicted of criminal libel.
The 53-year-old faces numerous other active criminal cases, several of which were brought by members of Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Gandhi and his Congress party already lost two prior landslide elections to Modi, who told the newspaper that his opponent’s unpopularity had no bearing on the robustness of India’s democratic institutions.
“India does not become an electoral autocracy if the ‘Yuvraj’ cannot automatically get power,” Modi said, using the Hindi word for “prince” to disparage Gandhi’s upbringing as a political dynast.
Turnout in India’s election has so far been several percentage points lower than the last poll in 2019.
Indian media outlets have speculated that higher-than-average temperatures were to blame, with parts of the country remaining subject to a heatwave alert.
Analysts also say voter enthusiasm has been dampened because of the widespread expectations that Modi’s party will easily win the vote.
Modi told the newspaper he remained confident that the BJP and its allies would secure more than 400 seats in India’s 543-seat parliament, its best-ever total.
“Everywhere I have gone, I have seen an unprecedented display of love, affection and support,” he said.
