Addressing the media, Barrister Gohar clarified that Imran Khan had not been informed of the controversial incident on November 26, when gunfire erupted during a PTI-led protest.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly open to adopting a hybrid model for hosting the Champions Trophy 2025, the Indian media has claimed.

This decision comes after India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan due to security concerns, with media reports indicating that the International Cricket Council (ICC) has been pushing Pakistan for hosting through the hybrid model.

While no official announcement has been made by either the ICC or PCB, the report suggests that India would play their matches in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, the PCB has outlined three conditions for agreeing to this arrangement:

Matches involving the Indian cricket team, including group stage fixtures, the semi-final, and the final (if India qualifies), must be played in Dubai.
If India fails to advance beyond the group stage, Lahore will host the semi-final and final.
In future ICC events hosted by India, Pakistan’s matches must be held at neutral venues.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday admonished the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for recent protest violence, accusing its leaders of causing grave economic harm to the country and directing authorities to establish anti-riot forces nationwide.

“The forces should be professionally trained and equipped with tools meeting international standards,” the premier said while chairing a review meeting on the law-and-order situation in Islamabad.

Islamabad was brought to a standstill on Monday and Tuesday when scores of PTI supporters flooded the federal capital, defying a ban by authorities.

The former ruling party’s “do-or-die” protest demanding PTI founder Imran Khan’s immediate release was shelved abruptly after law enforcement agencies (LEAs) launched a crackdown.

PTI leader Salman Akram Raja, claiming that at least 20 people lost their lives, said that the party would move courts against the government, the Ministry of Interior, and the interior minister.

Meanwhile, Islamabad’s police chief, Ali Rizvi, denied using live ammunition during the operation, saying that 600 protesters were arrested in Tuesday’s operation, bringing the total, since the protest began on Sunday, to 954.

During the meeting today, the prime minister was briefed on the recent vandalism of public property and attacks on police and Rangers personnel by protesters.

He said that those involved in this unprecedented corruption and conspiracies to bankrupt the country to save their regime were now in the clutches of the law. “Instead of taking the legal route, attempts were repeatedly made to spread chaos across the country by marching on Islamabad,” he said.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister (CM) Ali Amin Gandapur announced that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will continue its sit-in across Pakistan despite the last night crackdown against party workers in Islamabad.

Addressing a press conference in Mansehra, Ali Amin Gandapur stated that PTI has always led peaceful protests, upholding the supremacy of law and democracy.

Gandapur emphasized that former prime minister, Imran Khan, is currently in jail, and the party’s mandate was stolen in the February 8 elections but the PTI workers were subjected to violence, and their peaceful protest was met with gunfire when they protested against these injustices.

The chief minister made it clear that the sit-in will continue until the party’s demands are met. He also announced that PTI will provide Rs 10 million each to the families of workers who were martyred during the protest.

Gandapur slammed the government for its actions, stating that they are trying to suppress the peaceful protest. He warned the government to refrain from using violence against peaceful protesters.

Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced on Tuesday night that schools, roads, internet services, and the Metro bus will soon resume operations as normalcy begins to return to the country.

“Schools will reopen from Thursday, while roads will be cleared by tomorrow (Wednesday),” Naqvi said during a press briefing at D-Chowk in Islamabad. He further added that internet services and the Metro bus would be operational by Wednesday morning.

On being asked about the whereabouts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi, Naqvi said the two remain at large.

“We offered the PTI to shift the protest site to Sangjani,” the minister said, adding that “their acting president (referring to Bushra Bibi)” rejected PTI Founder Imran Khan’s directives and insisted on continuing the march toward D-Chowk.

In a city shrouded by political unrest and security lockdowns, a couple’s unconventional wedding photoshoot in front of container barricades has captured the attention of social media users across Pakistan.

Clad in elegant silver-toned outfits, Khola in a shimmering gown and Qasim in a dapper suit, the duo posed against a line of containers placed to block roads amid ongoing political protests.

In his speech, Sharif highlighted several pressing issues plaguing Pakistan’s economy. He drew attention to the deteriorating state of the power sector, characterized by inefficiencies and widespread electricity theft. Additionally, he lamented the prevalence of elitist policies that exclude large segments of the population from economic opportunities. Sharif did not shy away from acknowledging Pakistan’s struggles with tax collection, citing it as a major hurdle in addressing the country’s fiscal deficit. One of the most striking points raised by Sharif was the alarming level of national debt, which he likened to a “death sentence” for the country. This admission of Pakistan’s precarious financial situation, made on an international platform, has sparked concerns about its potential impact on investor confidence. While Sharif’s intentions may have been to shed light on the urgent need for economic reforms, the manner in which he addressed these issues has raised eyebrows. Some argue that his candidness could deter potential investors, as it paints a bleak picture of Pakistan’s economic prospects. In a forum where countries typically showcase their strengths and investment opportunities, Sharif’s remarks may have inadvertently undermined confidence in Pakistan’s economic potential. However, it is important to recognize that addressing these challenges openly is the first step towards finding solutions. By acknowledging the severity of Pakistan’s economic woes, Sharif has opened the door for constructive dialogue and reform initiatives. It is now incumbent upon Pakistan’s leadership to translate these discussions into concrete actions that pave the way for sustainable economic growth. In conclusion, Sharif’s speech at the WEF serves as a stark reminder of the daunting economic challenges facing Pakistan. While his candidness may have raised concerns among investors, it also underscores the urgent need for bold and decisive action to addr
