As we celebrate the 75th independence anniversary, it is time to ponder, on collective failures of those who held power since 1954, and what were the factors which landed this country on edge of financial collapse, facing threats of extremism and terrorism. Quaid stressed upon importance of a Constitution and rule of law, on 11 August 1947 to achieve modern democratic welfare state, which motivated people to join democratic struggle that AIML waged. We must remember that political awakening amongst Muslims started in 1906 from Dacca and it was later that others joined. The basic principle of democracy is one man one vote and number of seats in NA must be based on population. Today we are neither a welfare state, nor a country secure from within, haunted by terrorism, extremism, ethnic and sectarian divide.

RAWALPINDI – Pakistan Army Saturday rejected the media reports as ‘misleading’ about the presence of a large number of armed members belonging to Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Swat Valley. According to ISPR, after confirmation on ground, these reports were found as grossly exaggerated and misleading. “Presence of a small number of armed men on few mountain tops between Swat and Dir has been observed, located far away from population,” the ISPR said.

"There is no concept of a nation's independence without economic independence," the prime minister told the nation in a televised on Saturday. At the outset of his address, the PM congratulated the nation on completing 75 years as an independent nation. He said that the people celebrate Independence Day, Pakistan Day, Quaid-e-Azam Day, and Iqbal Day but the "truth" is, in the last 75 years, the nation has only only celebrated these days but not acknowledged the founding father's purpose.

Renews call for ‘charter of economy,’ saying real leaders do not focus on elections but future of next generationsISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Saturday saluted the innumerable Pakistanis who sacrificed their lives for Pakistan and felicitated Pakistanis across the world on the 75th Independence Day of Pakistan. In a televised address to the nation on the eve of Independence Day, PM Shehbaz said history was witness that Pakistan was created after millions of Muslims sacrificed their lives. The prime minister said the democratic leadership created job opportunities for people and made the nation respectable in the world.

An Islamabad district and sessions court issued notices on Saturday to the investigating officer and prosecutor on the post-arrest bail plea of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill. The petition requested the dismissal of the order of the judicial magistrate and asked for approval for Gill's physical remand. Earlier in the day, the judge had ordered to send the accused to jail on judicial remand. Later, the court dismissed the review petition filed by the police against the rejection of their application for Gill’s physical remand, declaring it “inadmissible”. Judicial Magistrate Shabbir, after hearing the arguments of the prosecutor and the accused's lawyers, decided to reject the request for further physical remand.

However, it is regional cooperation which is the real key to economic swiftness if the mandate is placed on facts and statistics. On the contrary, states can generate greater profits with minimum risk when they engage in trade with neighbouring states. A recent survey by a US state department suggested that the state should refrain from cross-Atlantic or cross pacific trade and keep regional trade as its top priority. The survey concluded that the members of the European Community and ASEAN got the most benefit from regional trade, while Africa and South Asia were the worst in terms of regional cooperation and hence economic development. The annual trade between Pakistan and India is a mere $2 billion as compared to $20 billion trade between US and Canada every day.

MULTAN: Malik Abdul Gafar Dogar, special assistant to the prime minister, on Saturday said he was committed to serving the people with complete devotion and dedication round the clock. Dogar, while addressing a reception organised by people of the constituency NA 157, thanked them and said their love for him was matchless. He said he wanted to contest the by-elections on nine National Assembly seats but the PML-N leadership entrusted him with a different responsibility.

Now right-wing calls for the country to be declared a Hindu nation and Hindu supremacy to be enshrined in law are growing rapidly louder, making its 210-million-odd Muslims increasingly anxious about their future. 'Growing schism'That shift is a boon to those who want to see India declared a Hindu nation, such as the right-wing Vishwa Hindu Parishad organisation. "We're a Hindu nation because India's identity is Hindu," its leader Surendra Jain told AFP. And his actions, they say, enable calls for a Hindu nation without explicitly endorsing them. Nasir Jamal Khan, 52, caretaker of a Varanasi mosque, said there was a "sense of growing schism" even though "our forefathers were born here".

VARANSI, India: The Hindu priest on the banks of the holy river Ganges spoke softly, but had a threatening message 75 years after the birth of independent India: his religion must be the heart of Indian identity. Now right-wing calls for the country to be declared a Hindu nation and Hindu supremacy to be enshrined in law are growing rapidly louder, making its 210-million-odd Muslims increasingly anxious about their future. A grand temple is under construction in the holy Hindu city of Ayodhya, where Hindu zealots destroyed a Mughal-era mosque three decades ago, triggering widespread sectarian violence that killed more than 1,000 people nationwide. The BJP has backed a $300 million, 210-metre statue off the Mumbai coast of Hindu warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji. "We´re a Hindu nation because India´s identity is Hindu," its leader Surendra Jain said.

If he can, Petrov will find himself in the conversation for the steal of the 2021 NHL Draft. Following a 40-goal, 90-point 18-year-old season in the OHL, it’s become incredibly puzzling that Petrov fell as far in the draft as he did. here's all three goals scored by oilers prospect matvey petrov in his ohl debut last night. The Oilers have a handful of wingers turning pro and having Petrov try to make the transition as a 19-year-old doesn’t seem prudent.
