A young man was allegedly set on fire by his cousins in Okara’s Fazawala village. He was taken to the DHQ hospital for treatment but succumbed to his injuries.
According to reports, Afzal was doused with petrol by his cousins and set ablaze after because he had slapped his cousin’s wife.
Afzal’s father confirmed the news and said that his nephews killed his son, adding that his nephews had also come to their house on Muharram 10 and had fought with Afzal.
The father shared that the reason behind the conflict between Afzal and his cousins was that Afzal had slapped his sister-in-law.
Police have initiated an inquiry into the incident.
We’ve all been through the never-ending process of trying to keep our cupboards organised. One minute it’s organised, and the next it’s an absolute disaster.
Here are a few tips to help you keep your cupboard in good shape.
Stack thick items like jeans and sweaters
Winters are coming and sweaters tend to occupy a lot of space. The best solution is to stack up the bulky winter wear. These items are thick, so they won’t crinkle or lose their shape when you stack them. Also, you’ll be able to see each item in a stack clearly, making it that much easier to find what you’re looking for.
Roll T-shirts and pajamas
Things like cotton shirts, pajamas and even work out clothes can be organized by roll and tuck technique. And put them in your drawer or any storage box. This technique is a major space saver if you do it right. Tuck your rolled clothing into shoe boxes (great for sliding into drawers), or use wire baskets or clear bins (perfect for shelves).
Hang scarves on hangers
Sure, you can roll them up or stack them if they’re thick, but tying your scarves on a hanger is a way better option for organizing them. Hanging your scarves keeps them wrinkle-free and easy to see and access.
Utilize your wall for hanging jewellery and accessories
Hang accessories like belts, jewelry, hats or
ties on a wall. You can use nails or towel hooks or opt for a more personalized
approach like a stylish coat rack.
Store your most-used clothes at eye level
Keep everything you wear regularly in the
middle of your closet at eye level so it’s easy to find. Put lesser-used pieces
directly above or below your most popular clothes, and relegate your least-worn
items to the top shelf.
Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) bashed India for 50 minutes, exceeding the 15-20-minute time limit that leaders have to follow and Indian media can’t control their frustration.
The Indian media outlets including Times of India, NDTV among others are praising Narendra Modi for speaking for 16 minutes, within the given time limit.
But Modi in his speech failed to mention the situation in occupied Kashmir and the growing tensions with Pakistan.
PM Imran, however, talked about issues including Kashmir, money laundering, Islamophobia, and the damage caused by climate change and it is gaining recognition around the world.
Indian media instead of focusing on the content of the speech is raising a foolish argument and criticising PM Imran on the fact that he exceeded the given time limit.
On the other hand, the international media outlets are criticising Modi for skipping any mention of his government’s crackdown in the Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK). Similarly, Al Jazeera also noted Modi’s silence during his speech regarding the Kashmir issue.
An elderly widower from Upper Dir was tricked by a conman into marrying a transwoman in return for Rs 150,000 in dowry.
According to reports, 55-year-old Jan Saaz – whose wife had passed away three years ago – met an alleged matchmaker in Peshawar, who promised to find him a bride.
The matchmaker set up Saaz with a transwoman, Sapna, without sharing the details. Meanwhile, he told Sapna that Saaz wanted to marry her knowing that she is gender-neutral. The two got married and on the wedding night, Saaz was shocked when he found out that Sapna was a transwoman. Sapna was also shocked to know that he had not known about her.
The next morning, Saaz dropped Sapna in Peshawar before telling his family about her. He said that he revealed the truth after sending Sapna off fearing that his friends, family and villagers might harm her.
Saaz’s family claimed that they paid the matchmaker Rs 150,000 in cash as dowry and spent another Rs 150,000 on the wedding ceremony. They are planning to register a case against the alleged matchmaker.
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday addressed the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. From climate change to destroying the Indian government over the Kashmir crisis, his historic speech had it all. So much so, that even his biggest critics lauded him for being bold and straight-forward.
Apart from politicians and journalists, Pakistani celebs and sportspersons, including Mahira Khan, Wasim Akram, Humayun Saeed, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Sanam Saeed took to social media to appreciate PM Khan’s speech.

I feel proud to have voted for you, I feel proud to have you as my leader, I feel proud to have you as Pakistans Prime Minister, I feel proud to have you @ImranKhanPTI , I feel proud to be a Pakistani. What a vision, what a speech !#ImranKhanVoiceOfKashmir
reasons; the most pertinent being the welfare of #kashmiri people and the most terrifying being the danger of open hostility among two nuclear powers. I also especially liked the part of Islam being blamed for Radicalisation which in fact made it sound like Islam is in some way
“Will the world community appease a market of 1.2bn or stand for justice and humanity?” I’m a proud Pakistani today, whose leader raised such concerns so fearlessly on a global platform. #PakistanZindabad 🇵🇰

To boost tourism in the country, Saudi Arabia has introduced a new visa system which will allow people to visit the country as tourists. Along with that, they have also announced that abayas will no longer be mandatory for women tourists. However, women are requested to dress modestly, including at public beaches.
As per reports, the Kingdom is launching a new visa system for 49 countries to attract foreign companies to invest in a sector that can contribute towards ten percent of the country’s GDP by 2030.

Visas will be available online for about Rs 12,550 ($80) with no restrictions for unaccompanied women as in the past. This does not include the holy cities of Makkah and Medina.
Visas in the desert kingdom, endowed with rich bedouin heritage and archaeological sites, are currently restricted to expat workers, their dependents and Muslim pilgrims travelling to holy sites in Mecca and Medina. Citizens of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and the UAE can also travel freely to the country.

Saudi Arabia has splurged billions in an attempt to build a tourism industry from scratch.
In 2017, the kingdom announced a multi-billion dollar project to turn 50 islands and other pristine sites on the Red Sea into luxury resorts.
Last year, construction of Qiddiya “entertainment city” was launched near Riyadh, which would include high-end theme parks, motorsport facilities and a safari area.
The country is also developing historic sites such as the centuries-old Mada’in Saleh, home to sandstone tombs of the same civilisation which built the Jordanian city of Petra.

It is always a delight to spend the summer in Europe but spending the summer in the European countryside is special. Think bright, sunny mornings, long, warm afternoons by the pool and cool nights under the starlit sky.
This summer I had the chance to spend the summer in Provence, a historical province in southeastern France. The culturally rich province extends from the left bank of the lower Rhône to the west to the Italian border to the east and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the south. To be honest, my family and I couldn’t have picked a better escape to relax and unwind from the hustle-bustle of our daily lives.

The United States (US) President Donald Trump has said that he did not speak to Prime Minister Imran Khan for mediation with Iran, it was Imran who thought it would be a good idea, Voice of America reported.
According to the details and from the tweet of Voice of America Deewa (VoA Deewa), contrary to what PM Imran claims that Trump had asked him to mediate between the US and Iran, Trump has said it was Imran Khan who approached him for mediation.
Contrary to Pakistani PM Imran Khan claim that Pres.Trump asked him to meditate between the US and Iran, Pres.Trump suggested it was Imran Khan who approached him."But no I haven't spoken–he actually asked me,he thought it would be a good idea to meet…"Trump said accor. to AFP pic.twitter.com/976ejRYFys
“Well, he’d like to do that, and we have a very good relationship. And there’s a chance that that could happen. But, no, I haven’t spoken. He actually asked me. He thought it would be a good idea to meet, VoA quoted President Trump as saying.
Imran Khan had earlier said that US President Trump had asked him to help defuse tensions with Iran. He also said that prior to arriving in New York he had visited Saudi Arabia and spoken to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who also asked him to talk to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
PM added, “I immediately spoke to Rouhani after the meeting with Trump, but I can’t say anything right now more than this except that we’re trying and mediating”.
Tensions run high between Tehran and Washington since May last year when Trump abandoned a 2015 nuclear deal and began reimposing sanctions on Iran in a stated campaign of “maximum pressure”.
With rising costs of basic necessities, other products which are categorized as “not so necessary,” such as expensive clothes, are taking the back seat. But it appears that fashion brands are oblivious to these shifts in the economy. Why? Because they seem to churn out products that are categorized as affordable but are way out of the average Pakistani woman’s league.
On one hand, we have Generation, which has always prided itself for being inclusive and affordable and on the other, we have Elan, a high-street fashion brand which most people love from afar.
Generation, with their latest campaign featuring teachers, has gotten a few things wrong. For starters, people are unhappy with the prices. The joras are priced between Rs 6500 – 9000. Most school teachers in the country, including those who work in private schools, earn up to Rs 40,000 a month. Given the rising costs of basic necessities, it is unlikely that teachers will have any money left over to splurge on such items.
Social media users also thought the same and many of them commented on Generation’s posts, asking them to rethink their prices and offer discounts to teachers.
When we contacted Generation for their response on the social media backlash, they commented, “We kicked off August with our “Back to College” campaign and the shoot in question, was its extension.”
“Inspired by the nostalgia of college and the fact that a huge part of our customer base is from the teaching profession, we shot the campaign with Naveed Anjum, a college professor herself-who is a regular customer of GENERATION and who herself chose the clothes for this shoot. The blackboard, chalk and the old-school feel of the visuals served to evoke memories of good old classroom days with the teachers who shaped our present.”
They added, “Our casual product price ranges from Rs 1,500 to 9,000 and we chose one of the more sober collections featuring three-piece suits which ranges from Rs 6000 to 9000 but perhaps price should have been centre stage in deciding which collection to feature for the teacher segment. We’ll be more mindful of these things in the future.”
A balanced and well-curated response as one would expect, given their up-to-date marketing and PR teams.
Meanwhile, Khadija Shah of Elan came under fire after she took to Twitter to announce that she is introducing an “unstitched wedding season collection” which will be priced between Rs 18,000 and Rs 20,000.
The trolling that Khadija received, after her tweet, had no end. People called her out for being an elitist who lives in her own bubble.
With all due respect, i cannot afford to spend 20k on a dress. I would rather buy books in that amount and be contented for life. https://t.co/Xm3xwDD7Iv
At the same time, several people stepped forward to defend Khadija.
People giving @khadijah_shah grief over this. She's explicitly said this is a WEDDING season collection. These are to be worn at WEDDINGS. WEDDING clothes are expensive generally. Unless you want to wear these for the school run… which is baffling. https://t.co/0f8fd5BZGy
Trollling #Elan for her new unstitched collection is UNJUST. I know it to be true how much cost goes into making of such articles. Frankly the bling COSTS !! If you can’t afford it just don’t buy it ! Nazi proletariat needs to get real ! @khadijah_shah
Khadija also tried to reason and explain the logic behind the high prices. She said that because of the depreciating rupee, the cost of raw materials and production has increased.
