The secret YouTube trick that few people know
YouTube is one of the most popular websites worldwide with more than 2 billion monthly users. But while watching a video in the YouTube app on an Android smartphone, you can’t do anything else because as soon as you exit the video-sharing service, the video will stop. However, if you use YouTube Premium, the video will continue to play in picture-in-picture mode even after exiting the app. But with a YouTube trick, you can use other apps while listening to a YouTube music video in the background on a smartphone without a premium account, just like a YouTube video keeps playing on a desktop. How to use TurkOpen the YouTube app on your phone and play your favorite video.

Vote for Service Creators
If the level playing field is not equal, then the country will once again be in anarchy, chaos and political instability. Remove the corrupt rulers from the democratic process by the power of people’s vote. The performance of PPP, PML-N and PTI is limited to claims, promises, lip service and ding tapao actions. Now is the time for the people to use their vote wisely so that the dream of development and prosperity can be realised. Despite the continuous neglect of Jamaat-e-Islami in the election process by the nation, these people never gave up their service due to disappointment.

Political femme
Despite their crucial role globally, women in Pakistan face underappreciation in the political sphere. While Pakistan proudly elected a woman prime minister, Benazir Bhutto, years ago, the subsequent years have seen a lack of progress in women’s political representation. Despite this, many face mental torture and barriers to political participation, with husbands and parents often hindering their involvement. I contend that the Pakistani government should actively nominate and provide ample opportunities for women in various political positions. It’s imperative to challenge and break down these outdated mindsets to foster a more inclusive and progressive political landscape.

who is responsible?
In an attempt to damage reputations, questionable recordings of notable persons’ private conversations have been made public or posted on social media during the last few years. People in the sports industry, judges, politicians, including prime ministers, and even their relatives have fallen prey to this abhorrent behaviour. However, it is inexcusable to expand these powers to covertly record private and public figures’ private talks. What goals of national security are achieved by secretly recording private conversations or messages, and thenWhat national security goals are furthered by secretly recording private conversations or texts, revealing them, and creating a media and online frenzy? Illegally recording and disclosing private conversations is more appropriate for police states than democratic democracies.

India’s Justice Shift
In a recent move, India’s parliament has swiftly ushered in an extensive criminal justice reform package, hailed as the most significant update since the colonial era. This whirlwind enactment has sent ripples of concern through rights campaigners, igniting valid apprehensions regarding the expansive powers granted to authorities. Critics have fervently highlighted that beneath the veil of erasing colonial vestiges lie provisions that endow authorities with disproportionately sweeping powers. This abrupt overhaul, executed amidst the exclusion of opposition voices, forces a sobering reckoning of India’s commitment to harmonising security concerns with the protection of individual rights. This development demands a meticulous reevaluation of India’s trajectory, calling for a delicate balance between security imperatives and the safeguarding of cherished democratic values and individual freedoms.

Rupee Resilience
In a remarkable streak, the Pakistani rupee continued its ascent against the US dollar for the seventh consecutive session in the interbank market, signalling a positive outlook for the exchange rate. Zafar Paracha, General Secretary of the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan (ECAP), sees promise in the current state of affairs. Importers, navigating the challenges of a fluctuating market, find additional support through the injection of $300 million from exchange companies.
