US President Joe Biden has nominated Adeel Mangi, a Karachi-born lawyer, to serve as a judge on a federal appeals court.

As reported by The Washington Post, if approved by the Democratic-controlled US Senate, Mangi, a Harvard and Oxford educated lawyer would make history as the first Muslim American to serve in this role.

The nomination is for the US Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit in Philadelphia, and it was announced alongside seven other judicial nominees.

Currently a partner at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP, Mangi joined the firm in 2000 after completing his LLM at Harvard Law School. He holds a First Class Degree in Law from the University of Oxford and is a member of the Honorable Society of Lincoln's Inn.

Mangi has been actively involved in legal battles related to religious freedom, particularly representing the Muslim community during Donald Trump's presidency.

His nomination coincides with President Biden facing criticism from Muslim voters regarding increasing Islamophobia.

Two years ago, Biden appointed Zahid N Quraishi of Pakistani descent, as the first Muslim federal district court judge, who was confirmed by the US Senate for a judgeship in New Jersey.

16/11/2023

Former Pakistan cricketer Sikander Bakht has raised questions about possible toss manipulation by India captain Rohit Sharma in yesterday’s semifinal vs New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Sharing a clip from his Geo News programme on social media platform X, Bakht wrote, “Very strange the way Rohit Sharma throw the coin at toss, far away, don’t let other Captains to see, compare to other Captains in the WC, any reason??”

It is not just the former pacer who raised such concerns but many cricket enthusiasts also questioned the manner in which Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma flipped the coin, making it difficult for the opposing team captain to see it.

Videos circulating on social media show Rohit Sharma constantly throwing the coin far away during the tournament, rather than tossing it subtly in the air to ensure visibility on the designated black surface for the toss.

India reached the final of the World Cup 2023 after defeating New Zealand by 70 runs on Wednesday.

Previously, the British news outlet The Daily Mail reported that the BCCI had changed the pitch for the semifinal clash without the International Cricket Council's (ICC) permission.

The BCCI denied these allegations, maintaining that ICC pitch consultants oversee pitch allocation, eliminating the possibility of any cheating.

Babar Azam has resigned as Pakistan captain in all formats following their poor 2023 ODI World Cup campaign, where they failed to qualify for the semi-finals with just four wins in nine matches.

"I vividly remember the moment when I received the call from PCB to lead Pakistan in 2019. Over the past four years, I've experienced many highs and lows on and off the field, but I wholeheartedly and passionately aimed to maintain Pakistan's pride and respect in the cricket world." Babar said in a statement on social media platform, X.

"Reaching the No. 1 spot in the white-ball format was a result of the collective efforts of players, coaches, and management but I'd like to express my gratitude to passionate Pakistan cricket fans for their unwavering support during this journey. Today, I am stepping down as the captain of Pakistan in all formats. It's a difficult decision but I feel it is a right time for this call. I will continue to represent Pakistan as a player in all three formats. I am here to support the new captain and the team with my experience and dedication. I want to express my sincere thanks to the Pakistan Cricket Board for entrusting me with this significant responsibility."

Babar was under severe criticism over dismal show in the ICC World Cup 2023.

Renowned actor Syed Gibran recently made a guest appearance on the ‘FHM podcast’, shedding light on his transition from medical studies to the realm of acting and sharing his views on award ceremonies.

Reflecting on his unexpected foray into acting, the ‘Chup Raho’ actor shared, "I was pursuing medicine (MBBS) without any intention of entering the acting field. People still joke that I would have been more handsome if I were a doctor."

Gibran revealed his inclination towards gynaecology during his medical studies, stating, "If I were a doctor, I would have chosen gynaecology. It was my favorite subject in the final year of MBBS, and I even assisted in two C-section cases myself, which was a remarkable experience."

Addressing rumours about his personal life, the actor clarified, "There is no truth to the rumours circulating about my divorce from actress Sadia Imam."

Expressing his displeasure with award shows, Gibran voiced his longstanding issues with these events, emphasising that organisers seldom invite him.

He candidly shared, "When I found out that award shows earn significant profit from our presence, I requested payment for attending. Since then, they invited me a few times, but invitations ceased after that."

Veteran actor Rubina Ashraf shared some useful tips for a successful marriage, advising young women to invest their since efforts in the first ten years of their marriage.

Speaking on Nida Yasir’s morning show, she highlighted the pivotal phases in the first decade of marital life. “The initial two years of marriage are 'work in progress.' After marriage, a mother should focus on her home, in-laws, husband, and children. While the first ten years may sound a lot, it's an investment worth making,” the seasoned actress said, advising women to prioritise their families and children after marriage.

The ‘Pas-e-Aaina’ actor stressed that a newly married girl should wholly focus on her early married life. "For any girl, investing continuous hard work and achieving success in the first ten years of marriage is an investment that yields fruits over time," she opined.

Reflecting on her own experiences, Rubina regretted that she grappled with anger issues, which sometimes negatively impacted her interactions with children.

Social media users expressed mixed reactions on Rubina Ashraf's advice as some users disagreed with the actress and said that every woman's married life is not happy, and both partners must contribute to a successful union.

15/11/2023

PTI leader Sayed Zulfi Bukhari has said that the appointment of Usman Buzdar as the chief minister of Punjab was a huge mistake of the party.

Speaking at a seminar titled “Democracy in Crisis” in London, he claimed that former prime minister Imran Khan had realised the mistake of appointing Usman Buzdar as Punjab’s chief minister but then he had limited options to replace him because things got complicated politically as there were many groups within the party in Punjab who wanted to replace Buzdar.

“There was Aleem Khan group and other powerful groups. There would have been a war within the PTI if Buzdar had been removed and Imran Khan did the right thing by sticking to him, to avoid the war within,” he said.

He mentioned that he also distanced himself and the PTI from Farah Gogi, who is former Bushra Bibi’s confidante, revealing that Gogi’s alleged corruption is true, and not just a media trial.

15/11/2023

The Bollywood hit ‘Tiger 3’ starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif has reportedly faced a ban in Gulf countries, including Qatar and Oman.

News reports suggest that the ban is allegedly linked to concerns about the film's negative portrayal of Muslims.

Indian entertainment portal ‘Koimoi’ speculated that the ban has been imposed due to a particular scene featuring the lead actress, Katrina Kaif, engaging in a towel fight.

While banned in Kuwait, the movie is available in Vox Cinemas Kuwait. However, it has not yet been released in Vox Cinemas in Qatar and Oman.

The ban is expected to impact the film's overseas earnings, given the Gulf's significance for Bollywood.

Produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, the movie stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Emraan Hashmi. As the sequel to Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), Tiger 3 marks the fifth installment in the Yash Raj Films (YRF) Spy Universe.

Despite the controversy, Tiger 3 achieved box office records as the highest-grossing Diwali release.

15/11/2023

A snippet from Farhan Saeed’s old interview is circulating on social media in which the acclaimed singer and actor revealed that he was once offered a Bollywood role alongside Indian actor Urvashi Rautela, but he eventually opted not to take the project.

In an interview with ‘Something Haute’, the ‘Sajni’ vocalist recounted his experiences of performing in India and the popularity of his celebrated pop music band 'Jal,' which led to acting offers in Bollywood movies.

“When we used to perform as ‘Jal’ in India, I used to get a lot of acting offers. You know, in India, whoever rises to prominence invites acting offers,” Saeed said.

“We used to laugh at it and refuse those offers.”

Farhan narrated an anecdote about a time when he was almost cast in a Bollywood movie. “I was locked in a movie with Mithun Chakroborthy's son. We met and they finalised me for a musician's role,” the ‘Suno Chanda’ actor disclosed.

Looking back at the opportunity, he appreciated the decision to decline the offer, stating, "Thankfully, I didn't do it.”

The multitalented artist further revealed that the film, initially set to mark the Bollywood debuts of both himself and actress Urvashi Rautela, encountered an unexpected turn of events.

“Urvashi Rautela and I were supposed to debut with the movie. Both of us backed out together from the project after having a conversation on a call,” Saeed added.

“We were like we don’t think we should take on this project,” he shared his conversation with the ‘Pagalpanti' actor.

15/11/2023

In a clip going viral, former Pakistan skipper and ex-chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq claimed that former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was close to converting to Islam after listening to Islamic scholar Maulana Tarqi Jamil.

Inzamam revealed that while Pakistani players used to offer prayers they would also invite Indian players to join them.

“Maulana Tariq Jamil would join us daily. We had a designated prayer room where we would offer the Maghrib prayer and then listen to Tariq Jamil. We used to invite Indian Muslim cricketers, Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Kaif, and Zaheer Khan, to join us for prayers. Some non-Muslim Indian players also accompanied them and listened to Maulana’s sermon,” he recalled.

“On one occasion, Harbhajan said, ‘I am impressed with this man [Maulana Tariq Jamil] and want to follow his words'. I asked him, What's holding you back, then? Harbhajan replied, I hesitate because of you. I asked why my presence would stop him from converting to Islam. Harbhajan responded because your life is not like his.”

Inzamam cited the incident to illustrate his point that when people distance themselves from the teachings of religion, particularly modesty, they struggle to make a positive impact on others.

Harbhajan Singh turned to social media platform ‘X’ and vehemently denied the story and said that he is a 'proud Sikh'.

Fast-bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has emerged as a strong contender to replace Babar Azam as the new T20 and ODI captain.

According to media reports, the PCB Management Committee has decided to relieve Babar as the white-ball captain.

They said Afridi will lead Pakistan in the T20 World Cup that will be jointly hosted by West Indies and the US in June 2024.

It has been left to Babar Azam to decide whether he wants to continue as captain in Test cricket. If he quits as the captain of the Test team or decides to opt out of the upcoming Australia tour, Shan Masood will be a strong contender for the Test captaincy.

Babar is expected to meet PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf today to share his future plan after which an official announcement will be made.

15/11/2023

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly decided to remove Babar Azam as the captain in all formats.

Babar was appointed white-ball captain in 2019 and as Test skipper in 2021, but the Green Shirts have not won any title of ICC, Asia Cup, and now the World Cup 2023 under his leadership.

If Babar decides to submit his resignation, the board would accept it and if he doesn’t do so, the PCB will strip him of the captaincy, Geo News reported, quoting sources.

Shan Masood is being billed as a strong candidate for the captain's slot in the upcoming Test series against Australia while Shaheen Shah Afridi might lead the T20I series in New Zealand, and the next year’s T20 World Cup.

Babar Azam is scheduled to meet PCB Management Committee Chairman Zaka Ashraf later today and it is expected that an announcement related to his captaincy will be made after the meeting.

15/11/2023

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is under fire for allegedly changing the pitch for the upcoming World Cup 2023 semifinal between Team India and New Zealand to suit the hosts.

British news outlet The Daily Mail reported that the BCCI has changed the pitch for the semifinal clash, scheduled for Wednesday, without the permission of the International Cricket Council (ICC).

It said that India could do the same if they qualify for the final too.

The BCCI and the ICC had previously agreed that Wednesday's game at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium was supposed to be played on No 7, an entirely fresh surface. However, a WhatsApp message circulated on Tuesday to a group of more than 50 BCCI and ICC officials confirmed that the first semi-final had been moved to pitch No 6, the report said.

On the other hand, the Indian board has denied any wrongdoings saying, “The ICC independent pitch consultant works with the host and venues on their proposed pitch allocations and this process is ongoing throughout an event of this length and nature.”

15/11/2023

Former cricketer Abdul Razzaq has issued an apology to Bollywood diva Aishwarya Rai for drawing an inappropriate analogy during his analysis on the Pakistan team’s performance.

While apologising for his inappropriate remarks, Razzaq said, “I had a slip of the tongue while talking about cricket, coaching and intentions at a press conference. I wanted to quote another example though I mistakenly used Aishwarya Rai’s name; it shouldn’t have happened. I did not intend to disrespect her. I really apologise to her.”

Earlier, Abdul Razzaq while addressing the issues regarding cricket at an event gave an example to clarify his point. He said, “If one marries Aishwarya with the intention of having pious kids, it is not possible.” He made the statement in a very candid way while others laughed.

Shahid Afridi, who was also present at the event, later urged Razzaq to apologise over his remarks and deplored that such statements should not have been made. Following this, Razzaq promptly released an apology video.

Razzaq's comments stirred outrage on social media, with many criticising him for his misogynistic remarks to emphasise a point that was already clear even without that peculiar statement.

Former cricket star Shahid Afridi expressed his disappointment over Abdul Razzaq's statement during a recent event.

Razzaq, at a gathering of cricket stars from the 2009 T20 World Cup-winning team, made controversial comments against Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai using her as an example to take a dig at the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) state of affairs.

Speakign to Samaa News, Afridi expressed his displeasure, saying, “During yesterday's event, Razzaq said something that I didn’t understand at first but I clearly knew that he has the mic in his hands and he will say something offensive because he has a penchant for puns, I started laughing normally as everybody did.”

“When I got back home someone sent me a clip of what he stated there and when I listened to it carefully I was like, come on Rizzi," he continued.

Afridi vowed to ask him to apologise over his statement because "it was very bad joke".
