An influential landlord in Khanewal on Monday allegedly slashed the nose of a seven-year-old boy after accusing the child of stealing sugarcane from his fields, DawnNews reported.
An official at the health unit said the child's condition was "stable" and he had been sent home after his wounds were treated.However, the victim's father claimed that the doctor had discharged the child acting on the orders of the influential landlord in order to prevent a police case being filed.
The victim's father additionally complained that police had refused to register a case against the landlord because of the influence he wields.
When contacted, DSP Shahid Niaz informed DawnNews that police had not received any official complaint and therefore did not register a case."Now that we have received a formal complaint, we will follow due legal process in this regard," he assured. What prevented the newspaper from publishing his name ? Maybe, the feudal is politically powerful as well . And possibly the victim and his family may be in danger if the name was published. Maybe, a child welfare organization should bring this cruelty to the attention of higher authorities![]()
An anti-terrorism court (ATC) declared on Monday Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TL) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi and other leaders of the party as absconders in the Faizabad sit-in case.Justice Sharukh Arjumand led the hearing in the case, Express News reported.Earlier, prosecutor Chaudhry Shafqat apprised the court that Rizvi and other TL members Afzal Qadri, Maulana Enayat and Sheikh Azhar had not appeared in the court despite that they were summoned repeatedly.
He appealed to the court to declare the accused persons as absconders. Subsequently, the court directed police to submit challan in the case.The court said that if Rizvi, Qadri, Enayat and Azhar failed to appear before the ATC within a 30-day period, they will be declared proclaimed offenders. The TL Chief (Rizvi) enjoys the unstinted support of the Deep State, therefore he can easily afford to ignore the challan.![]()
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) refused on Monday to entertain a petition filed by the Lal Masjid cleric calling for the imposition of Sharia Law in the country.
Through his petition, the cleric contended that the only solution to eliminate all evils and challenges in the realms of national security, societal cohesion, national economy, war of terrorism and political instability is to enforce Sharia law.![]()
Aziz further alleged that the country was being “Indianised and westernised” through electronic media. “The younger generation has been inspired into adopting modeling and acting, singing and dancing as careers,” he stated. He complained that “rights of women were being publicized as if men were usurping the rights in a male-dominated society.” The maulvi appears to be a misogynist![]()
“All these evils are developing due to the negligence of the federal government and its institutions defying the provisions of the Constitution,” the petitioner concluded. Today, it is just a "plea" which the Paki Supreme Court rejected ! Tomorrow, it will be a "demand" which the Apex Court will ignore at its own peril

Worried at the growing distance between Islamabad and Washington and the readiness of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India to craft a security partnership with the United States, GHQ Rawalpindi tasked the ISI with working out and putting into operation a plan designed to smear the image of India with the colours of “intolerance” and “fascist majoritarianism”. This, it was hoped, would ensure that the US administration would adopt a cold posture towards Modi, the way Bill Clinton did with P.V. Narasimha Rao. It was also planned to generate through motivated NGO-reporting that India would come to be regarded in the US, and much of the EU, as a country with values and systems wholly contrary to their own. Since beginning work on the project “Operation Smear Modi’s India” in November 2014, after it became clear that Modi’s concessions to Pakistan would not dilute security interests, the ISI has been successful in locating several hundred funders for the project, most of whom are non-resident Pakistanis, plus citizens of those GCC states that officially encourage Wahhabism. Thus far, credible estimates are that around $218 million has been expended in “Operation Smear”, and it must be acknowledged that there has been some success in this effort. Note the several dozen articles and news reports in globally prestigious publications such as Washington Post, New York Times, Guardian, the Economist and others (especially in German and Arabic media) that portray India as a cesspool of discrimination against several elements of the population. These alleged victims include minorities, Dalits, women and children. The actions of cow vigilantes (some of whom have been receiving funding from sources having access to GHQ-ISI cash through Dubai, Kathmandu and Bangkok) have been particularly helpful in seeking to showcase India as a nation filled with Hindu bigots, indulging in murder and mayhem at the slightest provocation. The effort to “prove” that the Hindu population is as much a reservoir of terrorists and fanatics as the Wahhabi population in Pakistan, has a long history, beginning with the initial planting of “Hindu terror” stories in sections of the Indian media in 2002, but has been accelerated since the close of 2014. Interestingly, in almost every report on lynching of minorities (any such deed on the majority community is airbrushed over, as it goes counter to the created narrative of a fanatic and crazed majority), the blame is placed at Prime Minister Modi’s office door, despite law and order being a state subject. The ISI is also using its channels of communication with the global media to accuse India of being the aggressor with Pakistan and China, and of “interference” in Afghanistan. Widespread use is being made of social media to reinforce such views on the world’s most populous democracy, and clumsy counters by boorish trolls are only having a negative effect on global perceptions. As Paki economic difficulties have increased in the last one year ( Afghanistan no longer "obeying Paki dictates" on trade, due to Chahbar and Air freighting, increase in foreign borrowing, Balochi naming and shaming Pakistan, FATF decision, economic squeeze by Massa, the pitai at the LOC etc etc ) so has the strategy of "maligning" India increased in the domestic media![]()
The main plank of “Operation Smear” is that (a) there is zero religious freedom in India for minorities, including Christians, Sikhs and Muslims. This line is being pushed by NGOs based in the US, Canada and Europe. In the US, several of the NGOs pushing this line are close to the dominant Clinton establishment of the Democratic Party,...
However, largely as a consequence of the energetic foreign policy of Prime Minister Modi, “Operation Smear” is not having the intended effect of taking the shine off the India story globally.
Earlier, this correspondent had pointed out how there was a systematic effort by elements linked to the ISI to vandalise Christian churches. These days, it is clear that the actual motivators of the criminal and terroristic acts of violence seen in the lynchings of those exercising their right to a diet of their choice, are in Dubai, Karachi, Bangkok and Kathmandu, with many close to the ISI operatives in these locations. The Paki PM is in Nepal these days !!!
Whatever be the religion they profess, the ISI’s agents in India need to be identified and prosecuted, if “Operation Smear” is to fail comprehensively and India recognised as the inevitable next superpower, after the US and China. The “false flag” covert operations of GHQ-ISI in India need to be exposed and eliminated.
LAHORE – On Monday morning, people in Pakistan woke up to see a story on Imran Khan in which Umer Cheema – the same investigative reporter who first broke the marriage’s news – claimed that the PTI chief contracted marriage before the completion of Bushra Maneka’s iddat.
.Hours later, Cheema found himself at the centre of an embarrassing social media storm followed by a fake trend – #LubnaCheemaPregnancy.
Through the fake Twitter handles of Umer Cheema and his non-existing ‘daughter’, somebody tried to malign the reporter claiming the ‘woman’ was expecting a child out of wedlock. Of course, Imran is "above" doing these dirty political tricks. But there is no doubt that his "fans" or party workers can stoop to such "dirt throwing" tactics![]()
To clarify, Umer Cheema has no daughter by the name of ‘Lubna’.
Responding to the shameful trolling, the reporter issued an online warning, which states: “All those busy in hurling abuses through phone calls/social media after the appearance of my story, are being noted. They will be reported to FIA Cyber Crime Wing for further action.”
Umer Cheema is an analyst and journalist currently working with The News, and has also worked for ICIJ and appreciated for his work.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is in talks with a Chinese financial institution to obtain $1 billion as a foreign commercial loan, as its recent internal assessment revealed that inflows from traditional lenders would fall below budgeted projections.

The clock is ticking for Pakistan.
Admittedly, the government has admitted to needing more time to put its house in order; thereby suggesting that the incoming set-up will have its hands full in ensuring that Pakistan does not slip even further to join the likes of North Korea on the dreaded blacklist.
There have been recent murmurings along the corridors of power in Brussels that we could be placed on an EU blacklist.
the trading bloc is known to take punitive action against those nations deemed to be less than cooperative when it comes to cracking down on tax-havens
this tentative ‘threat’ is most likely linked to our record on financing terror

...the fear is that the big European powers will show Pakistan the door. After all, France and Germany who (along with the UK) supported American manoeuvring at FATF were said to oppose our inclusion in GSP+.
Thus it is imperative that the incoming regime focus on bringing to an end the systematic crackdowns on Pakistani journalists and civil society activists that have all too sadly become the norm.
Similarly, a repeal of the death penalty would go some way to address our ‘mixed review’.

WASHINGTON: The US has not seen a“decisive and sustained” change in the behaviour of Pakistan , even after the Trump Administration announced a $2 billion security assistance freeze to Islamabad nearly two months ago, a senior American official said on Tuesday. “We’ve not seen decisive and sustained changes yet in Pakistan’s behaviour, but certainly we are continuing to engage with Pakistan <link> over areas where we think they can play a helpful role in changing the calculus of the Taliban,” said Alice Wells, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Alice South and Central Asia.

ISLAMABAD : Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairperson Imran Khan has denied allegations of forgery in the documents regarding the construction of his Bani Gala residence in Islamabad.Counsel for Imran, Babar Awan appeared before the bench and gave an explanation regarding the ongoing case. He does not appear in the Supreme Court. He skips the Senate election voting. Is he still on honeymoon with the Pirni![]()
Additional Attorney General (AAG) Nayyar Rizvi submitted a report in the Supreme Court on February 28, stating that Imran’s no-objection certificate (NOC) for the construction of his Bani Gala residence (where photo chor Qadir Khan and other important Pakis have "grabbed" prime real estate and erected unauthorized mansions and palaces in violation of municipal laws !) could not be verified.
“Did Imran take permission from related authorities for the construction of his home?” Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar questioned.In May 2017, the CDA and the ICT administration submitted a two-page report, along with a list of 122 illegal constructions, in response to the apex court’s April 24 order in a suo motu case of municipal lawlessness in Bani Gala, Islamabad. The hearing of case is adjourned till March 13.The lawyers are going to make a lot of money off Imran Khan. He is "inviting litigation" left and right ( Geo case, Shahbaz etc etc )

A Senate Special Committee on Human Rights on Tuesday recommended that perpetrators of false accusations of blasphemy be given the same punishment as set for those convicted for blasphemy."Anyone falsely accusing someone of blasphemy should be subjected to the same punishment as a person convicted of blasphemy," the recommendation stated.The punishment for blasphemy in Pakistan ranges from several years in prison to a death sentence. Under existing laws, a person making a false accusation can only face proceedings under Section 182 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which entails a maximum punishment of six months, or a mere Rs1,000 fine. In Pakistan, accusations of blasphemy is a convenient way to attack your opponent , Muslim or Non Muslim does not matter! Once you are accused, jail or no jail there is no way your physical life is NOT in danger. This has been proven time and again !
However, committee member Senator Mufti Abdul Sattar, who belongs to the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl, opposed the recommendations, terming them "an attempt to sabotage the blasphemy law." "Are there no other laws in the country that are being misused?" the legislator complained."We are not trying to make any changes to the blasphemy law, we are trying to keep people from misusing it," Senator Farhatullah Babar clarified.The committee has decided to forward its recommendations to the Council of Islamic Ideology. Fat chance that the Mullahs will "approve" the recommendations which will dilute their power![]()
The Senate Special Committee also discussed the Youhanabad lynching case and said that the charges against those arrested in the case should be reconsidered.Recapping the case for the committee, Babar said: "Three years ago, two churches were targeted in Youhanabad as a result of which at least 150 Christian citizens died. People in the area conducted protests to condemn the deaths of their fellow citizens — as is their right. These people were charged with terrorism and have been rotting in jail for three years." "Terrorism charges against the people arrested should be dropped and they should be tried in civil courts," the committee recommended, while adding that charging innocent people with terrorism is unfair. The CII will not approve this also !!!
A few dozen spectators had made their way into the Ring of Fire and by the looks of it, not many were likely to follow them. In best-case scenario, the crowd attendance was expected to a thousand or so. Worst-case scenario: a few hundred.
Low crowd attendance has been a trend for PSL 3 and that doesn’t augur well for this relatively new T20 league.
The state-of-the-art Dubai stadium hasn’t attracted big crowds since the launch of the league in 2016 but this year even Sharjah, previously a magnet for fans, has really failed to pull in big crowds.
The falling spectator interest in PSL is surprising considering that the league is claiming to have become bigger and better in its third year.
Even the participating players are surprised.
“It is not a good sight playing in front of empty stands”
https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/28914 ... big-crowds“It will be like a dream come true if the entire PSL is held in Pakistan”...“But chances of that happening are slim because it will be really tough to convince foreign players to play in Pakistan for an entire season.”
Visiting Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi today met Nepal's Maoist chief Prachanda and discussed with him measures to improve bilateral ties as well as ways to revitalise the eight-member SAARC grouping. . . . Prachanda said the meeting also stressed the need of initiative from all member-states to revitalise the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). Abbasi also paid a courtesy call on President Bidya Devi Bhandari and addressed a programme organised by the SAARC Secretariat.
During a meeting with SAARC Secretary General Amjad B. Sial, Abbasi said SAARC was an important forum which required serious and sincere efforts by member countries to explore its true potential.
Pakistan was committed to playing a constructive role in SAARC, the prime minister said.
Abbasi yesterday met his Nepalese counterpart K P Sharma Oli here and discussed bilateral ties besides ways to revive the SAARC process.
They agreed to enhance cooperation in areas of economy, defence and culture, Pakistan's official APP news agency reported.
Abbasi is the first high level foreign leader to visit Nepal after Premier Oli assumed office last month.
This was the first official bilateral visit by any Pakistan Prime Minister to Nepal after a gap of 24 years.
