A private angle and photos without consent???? As a journalist or media professional, haven’t you been taking pictures of people without their consent all along?
This is NOT criticism neither on attire. A picture taken without my consent from a private angle, then MORPHED, and turned into a planned smear vile campaign of harassment. Not the first time against me, A picture taken without my consent from a private angle, then MORPHED, and turned into a planned smear vile campaign of harassment. Not the first time against me, been facing and fighting this all since 2011, but it terrorises the women of a society as a whole.
Wars are tragic, yet they remain a reality.
Any language or action that contemplates the end of civilisation is unacceptable in the modern world.
The use of nuclear weapons can never be justified - under any circumstances.
While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon.
1,461 have been killed.
4,430 have been injured.
1.2 million have been displaced.
Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon.
Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel.
On the directions of the Prime Minister, all public transport in Islamabad will be made free of cost for the general public for the next 30 days, starting tomorrow.
The Ministry of Interior will bear the expenditure of Rs. 350 million for this public relief initiative. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Ali Zafar’s victory in the defamation case against Meesha Shafi underscores the stark difference between courtroom scrutiny and social media narratives.
In court where facts are tested Ali Zafar presented evidence, documentation, and witnesses. The allegations of meesha shafi however, failed to meet that same standard of proof.
Yet outside court the issue was amplified as a gender battle to shape public perception.
This case isn’t about men vs women it’s about evidence vs allegations.
And importantly, false accusations don’t just harm the accused they undermine the credibility of real victims who deserve to be heard and believed. Those who misuse such serious claims must be held accountable strictly, because it weakens a cause that truly matters.
Facts don’t care about your feelings, and courts don't rule on Twitter threads. 284 hearings, 8 years, and zero evidence. You didn't lose because it's a 'man's world'—you lost because you couldn't prove a lie. Keep the 5 million and the drama; the truth is finally free
So the final verdict from session court of Meesha Shafi vs Ali Zafar defamation case came out.I was not only a primary character witness, I knew both families and both children very closely. If I took a side, it was with 100% certainty and belief.
For me, Meesha Shafi’s issue ended the day every girl who supported her — including me — was dragged into criminal cases. I was told I could face three years in prison. And if that happens, I will go and serve those three years, because I do not step back from my truth — and anyone who knows me, knows this.
People were silenced, pressured, bought, and scared. The entire support system was broken. On top of that, we were accused of running a foreign agenda, of being paid huge amounts in dollars. I said it then, and I say it again — prove it in court. I am ready to open all my bank accounts, everything.
The truth is, every woman knows that at some point in her life, she has been physically harassed. Sometimes in a room full of people, someone touches you in a way you cannot even process, and you cannot even speak. We have all gone through this — as children, as young women, and even today.
So when a star of this magnitude, who needed no fame, who comes from a respected family, speaks up — is it for fame? Is it some personal enmity? What did she gain from this case? What did we gain except abuse, lies, and humiliation?
We did not step back because we knew that if we lost this case, then every woman who suffers this every day would lose with us. And from that day on, no woman in this country would ever be believed. The entire Lahore, the entire industry knows the truth.
This is not Meesha Shafi’s loss, or Saba Hameed’s, or Iffat Omar’s. And this five million penalty — we can pay it right now. It’s not about that.
It’s about the fact that women will continue to be touched inappropriately, even when married, even by men who are “friends” of their husbands. We all know this is the reality of a man’s world.
From today onwards, even I will not believe a woman in Pakistan — because surely, the man must be right.
And my honorable courts, thank you for proving this.
It’s a man’s world. Goodbye.
The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:
NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran:
Twenty-three years ago, another US administration dragged us into a war in the Middle East. A war that, in theory, it was said at the time, was being fought to eliminate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, bring democracy and ensure global security.
But which in reality, seen in perspective, produced the opposite effect, it unleashed the greatest wave of insecurity that our continent has suffered since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Iraq War generated a drastic increase in jihadist terrorism, a serious migration crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean and a generalized increase in energy prices.
Netanyahu wanted billions to flatten Gaza. He got it.
Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump just gave it to him.
American foreign and military policy must be determined by the American people.
Not the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government.
Sundown tonight marks the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection.
I wish everyone observing Ramadan a blessed and peaceful month. Ramadan Mubarak.

Unless we remove political influence and personal agendas from Pakistan cricket, we cannot return to the team we once were. This is the darkest period in our cricketing history, and my heart bleeds for it. Incompetent individuals must be removed from office and from the team.
