STORIES YOU CAN’T MISS… 

During a meeting with his spokespersons, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Monday said the alleged audio leak of former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar was devised by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). 

He instructed his spokespersons to highlight the previous history of the PML-N as to how the party had attacked the judiciary and maligned judges. Other updates on the audio leak:

Samaa TV, a private news channel, ran a news story and claimed that the former Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar’s clip appears to be pieced together from two of his separate speeches.

I don’t know what the truth is but if the audio is fabricated, then the government must initiate an inquiry.

The Kartarpur Corridor has brought together two friends separated after India was divided into two countries.

When were they seprated?

Sardar Gopal Singh from India who is now 94 and Muhammad Bashir from Pakistan who is now 91 got separated in 1947. They both hugged each other when they met after almost six decades.

Sardar Gopal Singh came to Kartarpur to perform religious rites at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib and Bashir visited Kartarpur as a visitor.

Gopal Singh, while recalling old memories, said that both of them were young at the time of partition. Bashir, who is from Narowal, said that even before partition, Gopal and him used to visit Baba Guru Nanak’s Gurdwara.

SHC allows children of single parents to get CNIC without father’s information

In a landmark ruling, the Sindh High Court (SHC) has ordered the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) to issue Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) to a woman who didn’t know about her father’s whereabouts.

Further details:

Rubina was brought up by a single mother as her father had left the family many years ago. The local court ordered NADRA to issue CNIC to Rubina based on her mother’s citizenship record. Her mother works in the Education Department.

Advocate Usman Farooq stated that the ruling would apply to similar cases and now the children with single parents would be able to get their CNICs after producing the record of only a single parent.
