  • ‘The person who was blamed of being part of the Jewish lobby was the one to get resolution against Islamophobia passed in UN’: PM Khan

    ‘The person who was blamed of being part of the Jewish lobby was the one to get resolution against Islamophobia passed in UN’: PM Khan

    Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Wednesday said that the Opposition fears that if he stays in office for another year, their leaders will be thrown in jail.

    Jewish Lobby

    Addressing a public gathering at Swat, PM Khan lashed out at Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, said he alleged that Khan was part of the “Jewish lobby”.

    “But the person who was blamed to be part of the Jewish lobby turned out to be the one to get a resolution against Islamophobia passed in the United Nations.”

    “I want to ask you Fazlur Rehman: In the last 30 years, you were part of every government. Did you ever persuade any Western leader to speak against Islamophobia? Did you even speak to them?”

    “Terrorism has no religion, and despite Islam having no links with terrorism, a perception was created that terrorism is being spread across the world,” the prime minister said.

    In a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) three years back, the prime minister said he had raised the issue of Islamophobia, and after that, he raised it again at the UN.

    “Before that, no Pakistani leader had raised the issue at the UN. Earlier, Pakistanis would come out on the streets and vandalised their own property whenever Islam was insulted in Western countries. At that time, I told them: don’t do this, I will raise this issue internationally,” he said.

    Reach Islamabad to show you stand with the truth

    The premier urged the nation to reach Islamabad on March 27 to tell the world that Pakistanis “stand with the truth and are against corruption”

    “People’s conscience is being auctioned […] it is the duty of people now to stand against evil,” said PM Khan.

    “All the thieves have gathered on the same page and they have given me a chance to bowl out three wickets in a single ball,” added the premier.

     I will hunt them down

    The prime minister urged the nation that they have to struggle against three “mice” — Zardari, Fazl, and Shehbaz Sharif — for the future of the country.

    “But I also promise you that I will hunt them down,” he vowed as he called on the people to support him in the cause.

    PM Imran Khan claimed that the Opposition has started horse-trading to make their no-confidence motion against the prime minister successful.

    “They want to oust me because they know that if I am in power for another year, all of them will be in jails […] and the first thing they plan on doing after coming into power is to dismantle NAB,” he said.

    ‘Kanpien taangain gi’

    Taking a jibe at former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, the premier said, “But the slaves, who worship money, their kanpien tangain gi (legs will tremble) before the American president,” the prime minister said, lashing out at PML-N supremo Nawaz.

    PM Imran Khan said he “looks eye-to-eye” with the president of the United States or any other country, as for him, “no one but Allah is God”.

  • Muhammad Ali Tariq: The only coach to be awarded Expert status at the GMAT and GRE communities

    Muhammad Ali Tariq: The only coach to be awarded Expert status at the GMAT and GRE communities

    Hi.

    My name is Muhammad Ali Tariq.

    I am the only Pakistani SAT, GRE, and GMAT coach to be awarded Expert status at the two largest and only truly global GMAT and GRE communities: GMATClub and BeatTheGMAT.

    I am starting a new batch exclusively for those who are ambitious enough to aim +90th percentile in their first attempts and are ready to put in the effort and time!

    I start my SAT batches with Reading. 

    Every single time! 

    My conviction to sort out SAT Reading ASAP in the SAT preparation journey is strong. And for reasons, I can probably write a complete book on!

    Why this much emphasis to beat Reading first? 

    It’s because of the way SAT is designed: The test begins with the Reading section. And beginnings are special. 

    Things messed up in the beginning can never be fixed. Confidence shattered in the beginning is very hard to regain. 

    Even if you are super comfortable with SAT Math, because of the bad performance in the Reading you have already given up in your mind even before you reach the Math section. 

    This is the reason that those who consistently score 800/800 on the SAT Math in mocks when they perform poorly on the Reading on the test day, their score is always lower than their mocks even in Math. 

    First section messed up and the day is already gone. Game over even before it begins. 

    If you plan to take May 2022 SAT, start with Reading. Can’t emphasize enough. It’s strategically the most prudent move you can make. 

    If you sort out Reading first, the entire SAT is oriented on the track to +1550 type of a score. Start with anything else and the journey is difficult, and in most cases you are destined to doom from the very beginning. And guess what?

    Things messed up in the beginning can never be fixed.

  • Covid-19: Punjab faces shortage of fever medicine

    Covid-19: Punjab faces shortage of fever medicine

    Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has taken notice of the unavailability of fever medicine in the province. He has demanded a report from the Health Secretary about the shortage.

    The CM has directed the health department to ensure the availability of fever medicine at medical stores and to take the necessary steps in this regard. He stated that manufacturers of the medicine should be contacted to increase production.

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb on Sunday said that non-availability of a pill commonly used to treat fever is “shameful” amid the surge in coronavirus across the country.

    She further said Prime Minister Imran Khan’s administration has reduced employment opportunities for the country’s youth, medicine for the sick and fertiliser for the farmers.

  • Senate passes resolution regarding artist royalties, celebrities laud

    Senate passes resolution regarding artist royalties, celebrities laud

    The Senate of Pakistan has passed a resolution that ensures royalties for artists, Senator Faisal Javed announced on Tuesday.



    The resolution, passed unanimously, would empower the Copyright Board to fix royalties for licensing and assignment of work and to ensure payments to artists, according to actor Humayun Saeed.

    Until now, artists only get paid once for their work but the media houses are free to re-run plays and movies featuring them and earn more money.

    Royalties are payments that artists receive on the reruns of their projects.

    Royalties had been the subject of debate since the death of actor Naila Jafferi, who had publicly appealed to the government that artist be given royalties. Her video came at a time when she was battling cancer.

    The resolution was introduced by Senator Javed. He congratulated the entertainment industry on Twitter.

    “Congratulations as the resolution has been passed by the Senate unanimously today. Appreciate the support from all the members of the house.”


    Celebrities such as Mikaal Zulfiqar Humayun Saeed, Adnan Siddiqui and Ramsha Khan lauded the development.

  • ‘All looking really positive’ for Pak tour, says Australian Captain Pat Cummins

    ‘All looking really positive’ for Pak tour, says Australian Captain Pat Cummins

    Australian Test Captain Pat Cummins believes that the vast majority of Australia’s Test squad will travel to Pakistan but the skipper fully understands if any team-mates opt out of the tour.

    Cricket Australia is yet to announce players for a final decision regarding the three-format series in Pakistan, which is slated to begin on March 3 with a Test in Karachi.

    But selectors have started to thrash out plans for a busy couple of months, when Australia’s white-ball series against New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be quickly followed by the Pakistan tour then the Indian Premier League (IPL).

    Players and staff have been given a preliminary briefing about security measures in Pakistan before Australia’s first tour of the nation since 1998.

    “Still a bit to work through… but at this stage it’s all looking really positive,” Cummins said, adding, “the amount of work the PCB has put into it is fantastic.”

    “It’s shaping up as, I think just about everyone – if not all – will go. If some players need to make a choice, it’s absolutely fine that they won’t be there. Still got a bit of water to go under the bridge, a bit more info to gather and get around to everyone.”

    In February, Australia’s best players will likely be split into a white-ball squad at home and a Test touring party in Pakistan. Cummins is concerned about bubble fatigue, knowing freedoms for players will likely continue to be restricted because of Covid-19.

    “We’re two years in, so we’ve learned a lot,” he said. “But it also means probably some players are further along their tether. It’s unprecedented times, we just have to make sure we look after each other. Conversations are happening. The selectors have been great along with the coaching staff.”

    This series will be the first time Cummins will be leading the Test side since losing to India a year ago, while it is the first five-Test series during the Covid-19 era for the Australia.

    Cummins said he doubted whether the rivals would get through five Tests, especially after Travis Head contracted coronavirus.

    “And just about everyone I know in Sydney has Covid,” Cummins said. “We’ve been tested just about every day for the last 20 days. It’s just been fantastic that we’ve got through the series.”

    Earlier, Australian Cricketers Association (ACA) Chief Todd Greenberg had said that he assured the Australian players that “we’re in this together,” and if the players will tour Pakistan, he will go with them.

    ‘The whole world is strange’, Shadab Khan follows strict protocols in BBL

    Pakistan all-rounder and vice-captain of the Pakistan cricket team Shadab Khan is all set to play his first Big Bash League (BBL) game for the Sydney sixers later today.

    However, the leg-spinner has been directed to follow special BBL protocols during the match. All international players are unable to join their clubs and teammates in a single dressing room until they spend one week in Australia.

    Shadab is going through rapid PCR tests on a regular basis to ensure he stays healthy and fit. Khan trained along at the SCG before the game and he will have to use a separate dressing room. Khan is also commanded to sit away from the players’ bench and not be a part of any on-field celebrations.

    “It is pretty strange but nowadays the whole world has strange things happening. I understand, everywhere is the same and hopefully, I will join the team soon,” said Shadab.

    Sixers are all set to take on Brisbane Heat and Shadab will play against his former teammates.

    “I’ve played against guys like Chris Lynn, Ben Duckett and Mujeeb Ur Rahman in international cricket. They have a very good team, and they play very good cricket. The Sixers are playing very good cricket as well – hopefully, it is a good game.” he added.

  • Kick your parents out of the house, go to jail for one year: Lahore High Court

    Kick your parents out of the house, go to jail for one year: Lahore High Court

    The Lahore High Court ruled on Monday that those evicting their parents from their house would face one-year jail term and fine under the Parents Protection Ordinance (PPO) 2021.

    “A person, no matter a tenant or a house owner, cannot evict parents, and eviction will be an offence,” a judgment, written by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi read.

    Justice Ali Baqir Najafi issued written judgment on the request of citizens Ali Ikram who accused his son Mian Muhammad Ikram for throwing him out from his house. 

    “Parents could expel their children from their home any time. An offspring must leave the house within seven days in such a case; otherwise he/she will have to face one-month jail term,” the court said.

    President Arif Alvi in May passed the Parents Protection Ordinance (PPO) 2021. As per PPO 2021, if the parents want their children out of the house that the parents own or have rented, the children will be held responsible for not obeying the instructions.

    The children must leave the house of their parents within 30 days of the written notice issued by the parents and failing to do so might land them in jail for 30 days or slap a fine on them or both.
