Come celebrate the Independence [00:03:32] Day together for the first time at Dixon Sale Park in Sapphire County. [00:03:34] Stars booking Bashir Qamar [00:03:37] 3476545685 [00:05:06] During operations by security forces in Washak and Mastung districts of Balochistan, [00:05:10] 12 individuals were killed. In [00:05:42] Balochistan, security forces were commended for a successful intelligence-based [00:05:46] operation. [00:05:47] In [00:05:54] Lahore, revelations have come to light in the murder case of PTI leader Abdullah [00:05:58] Tahir. According to investigations, the driver of the victim, Asghar, was honey-trapped [00:06:01] with the help of a TikTok woman and important details were obtained from him. [00:06:05] According to police investigation, the female accomplice of the accused contacted [00:06:09] Abdullah Tahir's driver via TikTok two months before the murder. [00:06:12] On the day of the incident, after reaching the clinic, there was also a [00:06:16] video call between the driver and the accused. In which the accused asked about [00:06:20] Abdullah Tahir's presence in the clinic. The accused also used a camera for the [00:06:23] victim's reconnaissance. Abdullah Tahir was murdered a few days ago in the [00:06:27] Ghalib Market area of Lahore. [00:06:28] The [00:06:35] Pakistan Peoples Party has once again rejected the results of the Azad [00:06:39] Kashmir elections, alleging that the public was systematically rigged. [00:06:54] while the performance of the Election Commission is also under question. Addressing a press conference at the party secretariat [00:06:58] in Islamabad, Syed Nayer Bukhari said that the election [00:07:01] results were changed through coercion and official influence. [00:07:04] However, the Peoples Party will continue its struggle to [00:07:07] defend public rights and democratic values. On this occasion, [00:07:11] Azad Kashmir. [00:07:44] A six-year-old girl went missing in the Waris Khan area of Rawalpindi. [00:07:48] Parents fear that the girl fell into a flooded drain. [00:07:52] According to the rescue camp, last night, a call was received [00:07:55] from the City Hattiyan area under Waris Khan police station about a [00:07:59] six-year-old child falling into a drain. Rescue teams immediately reached the [00:08:03] spot and started searching for the girl. A search operation is underway for the [00:08:07] girl. Assistant Commissioner City Iman Fatima visited the site and reviewed the [00:08:10] ongoing operation to search for the girl. [00:08:42] will be held on September 20, 2026. The MDCAT [00:08:46] date has been changed for the transparent, secure, and organized conduct of the examination. [00:08:49] The PMDC says that other conditions and examination arrangements [00:08:53] of the MDCAT will remain [00:08:57] refer to the website and official sources for updated information. The PMDC [00:09:00] has expressed regret for the inconvenience caused by the change in the [00:09:04] examination date. [00:09:10] PFUJ has condemned the notification by the federal government [00:09:14] to restrict the movement of foreign journalists and Pakistani journalists working [00:09:17] in international media. The Human Rights Commission [00:09:21] of Pakistan has also expressed concern over the government's foreign [00:09:25] media facilitation guidelines, stating that the official guidelines will make [00:09:29] journalism difficult instead of easy. PFUJ has said that such [00:09:32] restrictions on the movement of journalists are unacceptable in democratic countries. [00:09:36] The government's decision is an attack on freedom of expression and freedom [00:09:39] of the press. After these restrictions, how will foreign and Pakistani journalists [00:09:43] perform their professional responsibilities? PFUJ has said that Pakistan [00:09:46] is already at a low level in the global press freedom ranking. [00:09:49] The livelihoods of Pakistani journalists associated with international media may be [00:09:53] threatened. If the government does not lift the restrictions, the path of [00:09:57] protests and demonstrations will be adopted. On the other hand, the Human [00:10:01] Rights Commission of Pakistan has also expressed concern, stating that [00:10:04] these guidelines will institutionalize bureaucratic control over access [00:10:08] to news. These guidelines will affect matters [00:10:11] of public interest. [00:10:25] Such instructions send the message that critical and independent journalism [00:10:28] is not welcome in the country. The Government of Pakistan should [00:10:32] withdraw these restrictive measures and fulfill its constitutional and [00:10:36] international obligations regarding the protection of freedom of expression. [00:10:39] In [00:10:45] the program Capital Talk, Amir Jamaat-e-Islami Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman said that the price [00:10:49] of petrol should be 225 rupees per liter. Until the price [00:10:52] of petrol is 225 rupees, there will be protests. [00:11:25] It could also be that we ask people to prolong this, and it could also be [00:11:29] that we start sit-ins at a few other specific locations and call off [00:11:33] the others, but we will consult at that time. It also depends on the [00:11:36] government. If the government messes up, then these 5-10 locations can become 15-10. [00:11:40] I want to warn the government that if it tries to do any adventure, [00:11:44] then Jamaat-e-Islami has other ways that we don't want to use. [00:11:47] We know how to spread our protest. Alhamdulillah, [00:11:51] and we know how things [00:11:54] Lest this movement to reduce the price of petrol [00:11:58] turns into a movement to overthrow the government, Shehbaz Sharif sahib should avoid this [00:12:02] and give us the right to peaceful protest. [00:12:05] We will be back after the [00:12:08] break. [00:12:13] Under the patronage of Bagoli, Jashan Azadi Pakistan [00:12:16] on Sunday, August 23, at 4 PM at Dixel Park in [00:12:20] Safar County, come celebrate Independence Day together for the first time. [00:12:23] Contact Bashir for star bookings. [00:12:27] 3476545685 [00:12:36] unforgettable [00:12:37] tour. [00:12:45] Younis Khan is coming to American cities from August [00:12:48] 7 to 30 to gather people for Kind R Hospital. [00:12:52] Book [00:12:55] your ticket on hrd.org/tour. [00:12:58] Now [00:16:37] is a need for two-thirds majority in the assemblies in favor of new provinces. [00:16:41] Barrister Gohar Khan said that it is difficult for Shehbaz Sharif to [00:16:45] complete five years as Prime Minister. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has been [00:16:47] saying on the occasion and Khan Sahib has also said that there is a need for [00:16:51] units, there is a need for provinces, so we have said that these are [00:16:55] such sensitive issues that they require a larger consensus, [00:16:59] firstly, and if we have to do something, then first of all, [00:17:03] if you are changing the boundaries of a province, then you need a two-thirds majority [00:17:07] of that province as well. Even if Hazarah province is formed in KP, it [00:17:11] will still be with a two-thirds majority, and if there is any other division [00:17:14] in Punjab, it will still be with a two-thirds majority. If we do something, [00:17:18] it will not be without Khan Sahib's advice. If our access, etc., is [00:17:22] restored and we start talking to him, then we will see what happens next. [00:17:26] Mohsin Naqvi sahib has said that whatever anyone does, Shehbaz [00:17:29] Sharif sahib will complete five years. Now what do you say? I don't [00:17:35] that he will complete five years. He said that about this. I think [00:17:38] he also doesn't think so. And when you lose [00:17:42] public support, which he never had, I find it very [00:17:45] difficult. PTI leader Salman Akram Raja says that the current [00:17:48] parliament and provincial assemblies are not representative [00:17:51] of the people. An all-parties conference will be called soon. [00:17:55] Regarding new provinces, talks will be held after Abani's release.
