Ruling coalition in Punjab loses 27 reserved seats amid controversy

The political landscape of Punjab witnessed a seismic shift as the ruling coalition, spearheaded by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), suffered a significant blow, losing 27 reserved seats in the provincial assembly. The turmoil unfolded when Speaker Malik Mohammad Ahmed Khan suspended 24 women and three minority Members of the Provincial Assembly (MPAs), disrupting the assembly’s proceedings.

This move, stemming from a point of order raised by opposition lawmaker Rana Aftab of the PTI-backed Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), has thrown the assembly into disarray.

The controversy surrounds the allocation of reserved seats, with the Supreme Court intervening to suspend the Election Commission of Pakistan’s decision regarding the allocation of seats to the SIC. The opposition argued that the SIC had neither contested elections nor submitted a list of nominees for the reserved seats.

Speaker Khan, after seeking legal opinions, ruled in favor of the opposition’s argument, leading to the suspension of the 27 members.

Among the suspended MPAs were representatives from various parties, with the majority belonging to the PML-N. The suspension has not only disrupted the functioning of the Punjab Assembly but also has ramifications for the ruling coalition at the national level. With President Asif Ali Zardari summoning the National Assembly session, a similar scenario is expected to unfold, further destabilizing the government.The allocation of reserved seats has been a contentious issue, with the ECP withholding notifications due to disputes over seat distribution. This dispute has now spilt over into the provincial and national assemblies, threatening the stability of the government Read More…

Fourth Thriller: Pakistan vs New Zealand T20 Battle in Lahore

Match Details

Match up: Pakistan vs New Zealand

Date: Thursday, April 25, 2024

Time: 8:00 PM IST

Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

The Fourth Thriller: Lahore's T20 Match Between Pakistan and New Zealand

The highly anticipate­d fourth T20 clash between Pakistan and Ne­w Zealand (PAK vs NZ) is marking its presence­ on April 25th 2024 in the city of Lahore with the se­ries standings tied at 11. Following two riveting conte­sts in Rawalpindi this upcoming fixture holds the promise of be­ing a thrilling affair under the influence­ of multiple critical determinants.

Pakistan's Opener-Heavy Batting Strategy

Pakistans batting success re­volves around the performance­ of openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan renowne­d for their consistent establishme­nt of strong partnerships. A key factor lies in the­ir skills to handle the initial swing phase crucial for se­tting up a competitive team score­.

The Bowling Depth of New Zealand

Despite­ the absence of ke­y players in the IPL the bowling stre­ngth of New Zealand stands out. Spinners Mitche­ll Santner and Ish Sodhi together with pace­rs Lockie Ferguson and Adam Milne are­ well placed to capitalize on the­ late turning conditions of the Lahore pitch.

The bowling attack of Pakistan

Pakistan's bowling prowess spe­arheaded by the fie­ry Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf is all geare­d up to give New Zealand's top batting line­up a solid challenge. How they e­xcel at delivering slowe­r balls during the crucial death overs and the­ crafty left arm spin of Mohammad Nawaz could play a defining role in bre­aking key partnerships.

New Zealand's Striking Ability

New Ze­aland boasts a formidable batting lineup anchored by se­asoned campaigners such as Martin Guptill Kane Williamson and Gle­nn Phillips. The teams prowess in e­fficiently rotating the strike and capitalizing on loose­ deliveries will play a pivotal role­ in their pursuit of challenging substantial targets.

Home Advantage of Pakistan

Playing amidst the bustling stre­ets of Lahore Pakistan the te­am will delight in the unwavering passion e­xuded by their dedicate­d home crowd and the reassuring e­mbrace of the familiar pitch conditions potentially prope­lling them to a competitive advantage­.

New Zealand's Adaptability

New Ze­aland is renowned for its adeptne­ss at handling pressure situations. Their proficie­ncy in chasing targets in T20 matches is exe­mplary showcasing their seasoned approach to navigating te­nse encounters.

Prediction

It's hard to call this contest. With their respective advantages and disadvantages, the two teams are evenly matched. Here are two scenarios that could occur:

Scenario 1: India Triumphs

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan orchestrate­d a remarkable opening partne­rship showcasing their synergy and cricketing prowe­ss. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf unleashe­d havoc on New Zealands top order e­stablishing early dominance for Pakistan. Mohammad Nawazs spin expe­rtise in the pivotal middle ove­rs played a pivotal role in stee­ring Pakistan towards a triumphant victory.

Scenario 2: New Zealand Wins

Following a promising start by Pakistan's opening batsme­n their middle order e­ncountered difficulties re­stricting them to a modest total. In reply Ne­w Zealand's opening pair comprised of Martin Guptill and Kane­ Williamson established a strong platform.

The late ­innings contribution of Glenn Phillips injected e­xcitement driving New Ze­aland to a thrilling victory by a narrow margin securing a 21 advantage in the se­ries.

Who is going to prevail?

The te­am that handles pressure e­xpertly and minimizes errors is positione­d for success in this riveting edge­ of your seat clash to be decide­d solely by the final delive­ry.

After losing to South Africa in the Cricket World Cup 2023

Pakistan slams Babar Azam, saying, “Massive Mistake From Our Captain.”

After Pakistan lost to South Africa in the Cricket World Cup 2023, captain Babar Azam came under fire from legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram. After making a strong start to the run chase, South Africa lost wickets in droves, but Pakistan was unable to disrupt Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj’s last wicket partnership.

Babar passed the ball to Mohammad Nawaz after the pacers had completed their allotted overs, but Nawaz ultimately let up a vital boundary that sealed the victory for South Africa. After the game, Akram claimed that although people would point the finger at the bowler, Babar, the captain, will ultimately bear the punishment. Babar was seen yelling at Nawaz.

“Towards the conclusion, there were a few errors. It is normal to criticise a team after a loss. Nawaz was handed the last over. Usama Mir had two overs remaining at that point, but I know the entire nation will assault Nawaz. Right then, who was the better bowler? Mir Usama.

Who was more likely to use googlies to trick the tail-enders? Usman. Although he didn’t play well in his first three or four overs, he still managed to get you two wickets. Therefore, Usama ought to have bowled that over before Nawaz. The captaincy was good otherwise. He earned wickets by bowling the main bowlers. However, I couldn’t figure out why he gave Nawaz the ball in that particular over.

Therefore, Usama ought to have bowled that over before Nawaz. The captaincy was good otherwise. He earned wickets by bowling the main bowlers. However, I couldn’t figure out why he gave Nawaz the ball in that particular over.

His self-assurance was lacking. The ball will always travel down the leg side due to the angle he makes with his release point. Thus, our skipper made a huge error there, he stated on A Sports.

Akram, meanwhile, also emphasised the advantages that Pakistan may get from the game and heaped admiration on Mohammad Wasim and Haris Rauf for their bowling exploits.

“They turned it into a game. Haris bowled with all his heart. It was encouraging to see Wasim have an influence in this match. We’re all aware of his potential, but he wasn’t given many opportunities. He did really well today. He bowled over 140 routinely, but at a faster pace. He gave the South African batters some difficulties with his stroke.”

Dozens dead after blast in Pakistan at a rally celebrating birthday of Islam's prophet

By Associated Press, 6:38pm Sep 30, 2023

A powerful bomb exploded in a crowd of people celebrating the Prophet Muhammad's birthday in southwestern Pakistan on Friday, killing at least 52 people and wounding nearly 70 others, authorities said. It was one of the deadliest attacks in recent years.

TV footage and videos on social media showed an open area near a mosque strewn with the shoes of the dead and wounded. Some of the bodies had been covered with bedsheets. Residents and rescuers were seen rushing the wounded to hospitals, where a state of emergency had been declared and appeals were being issued for blood donations.

The bombing occurred in Mastung, a district in Baluchistan province, which has witnessed scores of attacks by insurgents. However, the militants normally target the security forces. The Pakistan Taliban have repeatedly said that they do not target places of worship or civilians.

TV footage and videos on social media showed an open area near a mosque strewn with the shoes of the dead and wounded. (AP)

Around 500 people had gathered for a procession from the mosque to celebrate the birth of the prophet, known as Mawlid an-Nabi, an occasion marked by rallies and the distribution of free meals.

Some of the wounded were in a critical condition, government administrator Atta Ullah said. Thirty bodies were taken to one hospital and 22 were counted at another, Abdul Rasheed, the District Health Officer in Mastung, said.

A senior police officer, Mohammad Nawaz, was among the dead, Ullah said. Officers were investigating whether the bombing was a suicide attack, he added.

Friday's bombing came days after authorities asked police to remain on maximum alert, saying militants could target rallies for Mawlid an-Nabi.

Also Friday, a blast ripped through a mosque located on the premises of a police station in Hangu, a district in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, killing at least two people and wounding seven, said Shah Raz Khan, a local police officer.

He said the mud-brick mosque collapsed because of the impact of the blast and rescuers were pulling worshippers from the rubble. Police say it was not immediately clear what caused the blast.

No one claimed responsibility for the blast in Hangu, and the cause was unclear. About 40 people were praying at the mosque at the time, most of them police officers.

Pakistan's President Arif Alvi condemned the attacks and asked authorities to provide all possible assistance to the wounded and the victims' families.

In a statement, caretaker Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti denounced the bombing, calling it a "heinous act" to target people in the Mawlid an-Nabi procession.

The government had declared Friday a national holiday. President Alvi and caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul-haq-Kakar in separate messages had called for unity and for people to adhere to the teachings of Islam's prophet.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for Friday's bombing, but Pakistani Taliban quickly distanced themselves from it. Known at Tehreek-e-Taliban, or TTP, the Pakistani Taliban is separate from the Afghan Taliban but closely allied to the group which seized power in neighbouring Afghanistan in August 2021 as US and NATO troops were in the final stages of their pullout from the country after 20 years of war.

The Islamic State group has claimed previous deadly attacks in Baluchistan and elsewhere.

Also Friday, the military said two soldiers were killed in a shootout with Pakistani Taliban after insurgents tried to sneak into southwestern district of Zhob in Baluchistan province. Three militants were killed in the exchange, a military statement said.

The gas-rich southwestern Baluchistan province at the border of Afghanistan and Iran has been the site of a low-level insurgency by Baluch nationalists for more than two decades. Baluch nationalists initially wanted a share of provincial resources, but they later launched an insurgency calling for independence.

Friday's bombing was one of the worst in Pakistan in the last decade. In 2014, 147 people, mostly schoolchildren, were killed in a Taliban attack on an army-run school in the northwestern city of Peshawar.

In February, more than 100 people, mostly policemen, died in a bombing at a mosque inside a high-security compound housing Peshawar police headquarters. In January, 74 people were killed in a bombing at a mosque in Peshawar. And in July, at least 54 people were killed when a suicide bomber dispatched by an Afghan branch of the Islamic State group targeted an election rally by a pro-Taliban party in northwest Pakistan.
