    People aren’t impressed by Zaviyar Nauman Ijaz’s wedding dance

    With the summer wedding season starting out, celebrities like Zaviyar Nauman Ijaz and Hania Aamir were spotted enjoying themselves at a recent event. While attending the festivities, Zaviyar showcased his Bhangra skills during the mehendi ceremony. Zaviyar turned heads in an off-white salwar kameez, while Hania stole the show in a stunning orange frock.


    Images captured by Bilal Saeed Photography show the stars having fun with friends and acquaintances. However, Zaviyar’s dance moves failed to impress some members of the public.


    Critical fans particularly noted Zaviyar’s combination of Bhangra and chewing gum, leading to mixed reactions online.

    Here’s what some had to say about his performance:

  • ‘I served them for 40 years and look what they did to me’, Pervaiz Elahi on establishment

    ‘I served them for 40 years and look what they did to me’, Pervaiz Elahi on establishment

    Moonis Elahi, exiled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) member, gave an interview with BBC News Urdu and said that his father, Pervaiz Elahi, was downhearted by the establishment’s behaviour toward him.

    When Pervaiz Elahi asked Moonis whether he had any interaction with the establishment, Moonis replied in the negative then Elahi stated, “Don’t connect with them either, because I served them for 40 years and look what they did to me.”

    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.”

    What are the 50 places in Lahore where WiFi is free?

    The Punjab government, led by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has initiated a pilot project to provide free WiFi services at 50 spots in Lahore. The project aims to promote connectivity by giving citizens access to the internet.

    “Free WiFi started at the following (50 spots) in Lahore. Rest of Lahore is being done too. Alhamdolillah! We promise, we deliver,” CM Maryam said in an X (formerly Twitter) post. 

    During a high-level meeting with Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) officials held in March, the chief minister approved the launch of the free WiFi pilot project in Lahore.

    Maryam Nawaz directed the IT department officials to begin offering free WiFi service, focusing on educational institutions, airports, railway stations, and bus stands. In Lahore, the Punjab government will provide free WiFi at 516 locations in total.

  • Punjab Police defends Maryam, says she’s entitled to wear police uniform’

    Punjab Police defends Maryam, says she’s entitled to wear police uniform’

    Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz landed into a controversy after donning the Punjab Police official uniform on Thursday. The provincial police department has issued a notification that the CM is indeed allowed to wear the police uniform according to Punjab Police Dress Regulations.

    On April 25, the Chief Minister took the internet by storm when she wore a police uniform while attending a passing-out parade of lady constables and traffic assistants at the Police Training College, Chung.

    The move by Maryam garnered both appreciation and criticism from people.

    Addressing the ceremony, the Punjab CM said her government wants to increase the number of female cops in the police department and also said, “I realized how much of a big responsibility it is after wearing the police uniform.”

    The Punjab Police Department, however, supported the move and clarified, “This has been widely celebrated by the police personnel, who view it as a commendable show of solidarity. The Central Police Office has received hundreds of messages in which police personnel have lauded this step.”

    Adding spice to the controversy, a citizen named Waqar Ali filed a plea in the Lahore High Court against the CM for wearing a police uniform.

    Opposition leaders such as Omar Ayub Khan also strongly condemned the move by CM Maryam.

  • Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan courageously stands up for Palestine

    Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan courageously stands up for Palestine

    Many people know Nicola Coughlan from shows like Bridgerton and Derry Girls. In a new interview with Teen Vogue, she openly showed her support for the Palestinian people who are facing a genocide in Gaza.


    “There’s a huge connection between Ireland and Palestine that maybe a lot of people aren’t aware of, and a shared history,” she explained. “To me it always becomes more about supporting innocent people. Are we supporting innocent people no matter where they’re from, who they are? That’s my drive.”

    Coughlan has been using her social media to talk about and raise money for the people in Gaza. She’s also been wearing a pin for Artists4Ceasefire. She’s not worried about having trouble getting acting jobs because of her political views. She feels good knowing that she’s using her influence to make the world better, so when she looks back on her life, she’ll know she did something good.
    “You might hear people say, ‘You won’t get jobs,’ ‘You won’t do well,’” admitted the Barbie actor. “But I believe if you know you’re standing up for innocent people, then I’m not scared of what others think.”


    Coughlan knows she has a big influence because she’s famous. “I’m lucky I’ve come this far in my career, especially as a white woman,” she said. Talking about being in the spotlight, she added, “I love my job, and I’m grateful I get to travel and meet amazing people. I feel like I need to give back because of this.”


    Even before she was on TV, Coughlan was involved in making the world better. “I supported different causes,” she remembered. “I campaigned for marriage equality and marched for abortion rights in Ireland. I’ve always cared about fairness and helping people.”
    With the first part of Bridgerton season three coming on May 16, Coughlan can focus on her successful TV career without worrying about being rejected because of her beliefs.

    If Nawaz had even a one percent desire to be PM, could anyone stop him? PMLN Senator

    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.

    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.”

    He said in a threating tone that “No one in this country can keep PTI founder Imran Khan in jail anymore.”

  • Court orders Khan, wife to avoid making negative statements against state institutions

    Court orders Khan, wife to avoid making negative statements against state institutions

    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.
