    Justice Asif Saeed Khosa made fake case against Nawaz to help PTI, Suhail Warraich

    Senior analyst and journalist Suhail Warraich recently revealed on Geo’s Report Card that ex-Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Asif Saeed Khosa, “created a false case against Nawaz Sharif.”

    Warraich stated, “Marriyum Aurangzeb was one hundred percent correct about Justice Khosa that he made a frivolous case which was already dismissed by the previous CJP, gave the case legal cover and then guided Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on how to proceed with the case.”

    He stated that a “PTI member himself told me this at that time that they [PTI] didn’t know how to deal with the case and it was Justice Khosa that told them how to deal with it.”

    “Maybe Justice Khosa had some personal problem with them [Nawaz Sharif] and Justice Azmat Saeed was also involved. These two were the main characters and another current serving Supreme Court judge was also involved in this,” said Warraich.

    Government condemns ‘political party’ for propaganda in Kyrgyzstan incident

    Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on May 19 condemned a political party, a thinly veiled reference to PTI, for spreading disinformation and negative propaganda online regarding the Kyrgyzstan incident in which mobs attacked Pakistani students.

    The minister exclaimed that “wrong news” was being spread on social media by a single political party to “humiliate the government” and it is utterly condemnable.

    It should be noted that social media was flooded with news of deaths and rapes of Pakistani students which has turned out to be not true.

    “I believe that such shameful act should not be done in politics,” he stressed.

    Tarar said there was a clash between local students and Arab students, after which this incident took place. He added that the government is helping the students who want to come back.

    “Kyrgyz foreign minister has said that no deaths have occurred in the incident and that the situation is peaceful,” said Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar during a press conference.

    ‘Humein bhi Imran Khan wali luxuries chahiye’; prisoners demand equal treatment

    In a new development, prisoners across the province of Punjab have demanded the same special facilities provided to founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan in Adiala Jail.

    The inmates penned a letter to Punjab prisons inspector general expressing their desire to be given the same amenities as Imran Khan.

    In the letter, concerns were expressed about the “open violation” of the Prison Rules 1978 regarding the services available to the former Prime Minister.

    Khan is currently incarcerated in a better-class (B-class) facilities prison at Adiala Jail under high security due to his status of being a former ruler of the country.

    Geo News reported that there is a dedicated kitchen for preparing Khan’s meals and he occupies two of the seven special cells, typically accommodating 35 prisoners. The remaining five of the cells remain vacant for security reasons.

    The details, stated in a report submitted to the Lahore High Court by a jail superintendent last month, also include that Khan uses a yard equipped with exercise machines and other amenities for his daily walks and recreational activities.

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Ali Muhammad Khan said on Friday that he will file a plea against the Adiala jail administration in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) for not allowing him to meet incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

    “I am going to the high court against the jail administration. We were not allowed to meet Imran Khan during the previous appearance, and we are not allowed to meet now,” the politician said, expressing displeasure.

    The senior PTI leader stated while talking to journalists outside Adiala jail that he will file a contempt of court petition against Adiala jail officials.

    He recalled that when he was imprisoned in Adiala, jail officials treated him badly. He also said that they are doing the same thing again by not allowing him to meet former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

    However, the politician expressed confidence in the country’s security agencies to ensure Khan’s safety during his appearances in cases at the Supreme Court.

    Speaker National Assembly suspends Tariq Bashir Cheema for misbehaving with Zartaj Gul

    The National Assembly (NA) session on Thursday, chaired by speaker NA Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, ended with heated arguments and important parliamentary decisions.

    Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, suspended Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) leader Tariq Bashir Cheema for today’s parliamentary session after a heated argument took place between him and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Zartaj Gul.

    The decision to suspend Cheema was taken to keep decorum and maintain parliamentary standards. 

    However, the House accepted the question raised by the NA speaker in this regard.

    Earlier, the PTI-backed Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) claimed that Tariq Bahir Cheema used abusive words against Zartaj Gul during the parliamentary session.

    Ayaz Sadiq also banned YouTubers, TikTokers, and media personnel from making videos in the corridors of the parliament to keep the environment peaceful.

  • Sharjeel Memon says big plan behind Imran Khan still being ‘laadla’

    Sharjeel Memon says big plan behind Imran Khan still being ‘laadla’

    Sindh Minister Sharjeel Memon recently stated during a press conference that the founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan is still a “laadla” (favourite) due to rapid speed of multiple case hearings.

    “I’m saying this very openly that there is a big plan behind the scenes,” said the PPP member.

    Memon also alleged that “Israel financially supported Khan in his election campaign and Israel is also campaigning about alleged human rights abuse in Pakistan.”

    The PPP member was of the view that in the past President Asif Ali Zardari’s cases did not get quick hearings as Khan’s do.

    He criticised the former Prime Minister for being a “small-minded person” and also stated that CM KP Ali Amin Gandapur should apologise for his wrong attitude with the Governor of KP.

    ‘Wife owns properties not only in Dubai but in UK as well,’ reveals Mohsin Naqvi

    Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has said on Thursday that he and his wife declared their properties a decade ago. Naqvi, a media baron who became Punjab’s caretaker Chief Minister and now also holds the coveted position of Chairman, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), stressed that there is nothing new in the “Dubai unlocked” project. 

    Naqvi revealed that his wife not only owns properties in Dubai but also in the United Kingdom (UK).

    He gave a detailed response to the Dubai leaks in a press conference in Lahore after the leaked property records named several prominent personalities in Pakistan, including government officials, politicians, military generals, and other individuals.

    He also said that it is necessary for the national media to report about major developments, but portraying that someone owned property with illegal means is wrong.
    The former caretaker chief minister of Punjab also stated that he was not in any official position 10 to 12 years ago, but he had properties at that time as well.

    Gandapur threatens to take over PESCO if loadshedding schedule not changed in KP

    The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur on Wednesday threatened to occupy the Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO) if the federal government did not solve the severe loadshedding problem in the province by tonight.

    “I’m giving a clear message to the Minister of Power and the federal government about the brutal loadshedding you have started in KP,” said Gandapur in a video statement.

    The CM said he’d talked with the PESCO Chief and that at least “five to six hours of decrease in loadshedding” must be implemented in the province.

    The CM stated, “If you think we don’t know how to take our right then we will show it to you.”

    He said his words were not a “warning but my timeline”.
