Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) leader and Member of National Assembly (MNA) from Waziristan, Ali Wazir, has been rearrested months after his release from Karachi Central Jail.
Lawmaker Mohsin Dawar has said that there is still no confirmation on what charges the legislator was arrested.
Ali Wazir was behind bars for almost 2 years, releasing from Central Jail Karachi on February 14, 2023. He was taken into custody in Peshawar in December 2020 after a sedition case was registered against him in Sohrab Goth police station.
However, Ali Wazir had faced more arrests in the same case as multiple FIRs are registered against him in KPK and Karachi.
Social media users are condemning the arrest.
Have a look at twitter reactions:
Yesterday, in Rajsthan’s Ajmer in India, a man, Mukesh, had reportedly murdered his father while he was drunk, during an argument that escalated over property division. According to the mother, the heated conversation began earlier in the day but had seemingly settled which is when she chose to depart the house. However, India Today reports that when the mother returned, she found her dead husband’s body and immediately reported to the police.
Baldev Ram, in charge of the Ansagar Police Station, revealed to the media that the authorities had taken swift action to arrest Mukesh, and were keeping him under custody as the investigation continues. The body of the deceased has been sent for a post-mortem examination.
Yesterday, Netflix debuted the trailer of the Zoya Akhtar venture ‘The Archies’ which is adapted from the popular comic series Archie, with Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor and Agastya Nanda making their debut.
Although the trailer has already received praise from King Khan, who gushed about seeing his daughter’s debut on screen, not a lot of fans agree with him.
The internet is divided with some slamming Zoya Akhtar for white washing Indian history and choosing to make a film with actors who have nepotism connections, and others actually looking forward to Zoya’s take on the beloved comic.
Some users were criticising the film, comparing Zoya Akhtar to Karan Johar for picking people with no talent instead of actors who were struggling to find roles in the industry today.
Others had to draw out how unrealistic the portrayal of the 60s was in the film, pointing out that India in this era had a completely different style and aesthetic than what the film was portraying.
Some slammed the film for being completely white washed and not being adapted as an Indian interpretation.
A few fans were enthusiastic for another film by Zoya Akhtar, and said they were set to watch the film

If you’re stepping down Privet Drive, Little Whinging, with a clear agenda to find the black cat that’s actually Professor McGonagall walking near a certain house so you could beg her for the Hogwarts letter, we’re sorry to inform you that its too late for it to happen, as the residents of Dursley House have put their foot down.
According to the British tabloid, The Mirror, the residents who are currently staying at the Dursley’s house in Privet Drive in 2016, are now fed up with the consistent stream of fans flooding their doorstep, even one bizarre instance of a fan bringing their Ford Angelia to the house and taking a photo along side it.
“We’ve had people in floods of tears. It’s bizarre. The kids, you get it. But obviously the adults. They dress up sometimes in full gear and recreate scenes.
“People have travelled miles. From all over the world. People are sometimes really awkward. We are used to it, but not used to it in a way.”
“Ten is the maximum we’ve had but people come in groups. People come in cars and it’s all day and sometimes at night. The school holidays are the worst.”
Really could help if the residents could bloat up like Aunt Marge and float away?

Family members of two victims of the migrant boat tragedy appeared in Geo news’s programme Naya Pakistan and disclosed how their loved ones made it to the ill-fated boat.
Syed Shahid, the uncle of two boys aged around 15 and 16, said that they do not know about the whereabouts of the nephews, adding that no officials have contacted them yet.
He added that the agent who sent his nephews abroad belongs to Kotli Nowshera, Sialkot. He further said that the agent came to them a day before the incident and lied to them that his nephews had reached safely. He said that we later found out on Monday that the ship had sunk, after which we went to the agent’s home but there was no one there.
“The agent told them he would take my nephews to Libya by air, and then their journey would be completed on a cargo ship,” he said. Shahid further revealed that they gave 47 lacs to the agent for his two nephews. He continued by adding that they both took 15 lacs with them in dollars.
He told the anchor that his nephews left Pakistan on May 19 and boarded the boat on June 9. In their last message, his nephews informed them that they were not placed on the promised ship, instead, they were seated on fishing vessels.
He said that they wanted to go to Italy for better earning opportunities.
Luqman Yaqab, whose brother and cousin were on the ship, said that he is in contact with the agent, who has informed them that there is a possibility that his brother and cousin were on a different ship.
He further said that his brother was 17 years of age and his cousin was around 29 to 30 years, adding that they both left Pakistan in January for Dubai, then they went to Egypt, from Egypt then they went to Libya.
Luqman said that they were unaware of the fact that his brother and cousin are taking an illegal route.
The prime minister has constituted a four-member high-level committee to investigate the tragic incident.
Members of the Pakistani football team may receive their visas today (Monday) to tour India for participation in the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) Cup, scheduled to take place in Bengaluru from June 21 to July 4.
When geo.tv correspondent reached out to All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) Secretary General Shaji Parbharkaram about updates on the Pakistan team’s India’s visas, he replied via WhatsApp: “It will be done tomorrow.”
AIFF is doing its best to manage visas for the Pakistan team, who will be going to India after nine years.
According to sources, Pakistan team officials were set to go to India’s High Commission in Mauritius to pick up their passports on Sunday. However, they were told by the PFF Normalisation Committee to wait as AIFF was trying to manage visas for the Pakistan team.
Pakistan team was scheduled to fly for India on Sunday at 11:30am, but it could not do so as the visas were not yet issued.
Team management had told Mauritius football authorities that they would be able to get Indian visas on Monday (today), and they have cooperated in accommodation.
Pakistan team is currently in the same hotel where it was for the four-nation football event, which ended on Saturday.
Djibouti emerged as champions of the event after they downed Pakistan 3-1 in their final game on Saturday.
According to team sources, if on Monday the team fails to get visas, then their further stay in Mauritius might be managed by Pakistan itself, which will be costly.
“You cannot feel in what mental agony we have been for the last three days,” a team source said.
“Everyone is worried whether they will get visas or not,” the source said.
“The players were very excited for the SAFF Cup but the visas issues have put them in deep pain,” the source said.
Sources said if visas are delayed further and if Pakistan moves to India on Tuesday or early Wednesday, then it will be very difficult for the Green Shirts to play their first game against India on June 21.
“If we reach India on June 21 or the night before then the organisers should reschedule our match against India,” a source said.
