Fact Check: 🚨🚨
The @DailyMail has falsely claimed that the victim in the case was a French tourist who was assaulted in front of her three children in Pakistan.
The facts are different: the victim was a Pakistani citizen, not a French tourist. This misleading narrative appears to be part of a recurring pattern in which incidents from Pakistan are framed in a way that fuels negative perceptions, particularly in discussions about sexual violence.
Importantly, the crime occurred in Pakistan, and the Pakistani justice system prosecuted the case. The accused were tried by a Pakistani court and were sentenced to death.
Accurate reporting matters. Misrepresenting the victim’s identity and the facts of the case only serves to spread misinformation and distort public understanding of what actually happened.
Portraying a Pakistani woman as a French tourist is an act of journalistic dishonesty and a serious distortion of the facts. Such misrepresentation undermines public trust, spreads misinformation, and distracts from the actual circumstances of the case.
This is the same Abu Dhabi that quietly trades with Iran, does business with Iran, and flies to Tehran while telling everyone else to stay away.
Pakistan actually bombed inside Iran when Iran attacked us first. In 2024. No Gulf country has ever done that. Not one.
Pakistan built the Gulf's own military alliance against terrorism. In Riyadh. Our generals trained your armies. Our soldiers fought in your wars.
And we are the unreliable ones?
Pakistan has 220 million people to feed and protect. We have a nuclear armed neighbor on one side and a war against terrorists on the other. We cannot burn our own house down just to impress someone.
The Gulf calls Pakistan when it needs us. Then questions us when we don't obey like a servant.
That is not friendship. That is arrogance.
Pakistan is no one's hired gun. Get used to it.
جہاں بہار آتی ہے وہاں خزاں بھی آتی ہے اسوقت بیٹی وزیر اعلی ہے اور بھائی وزیراعظم لیکن میاں صاحب اپنے آپکو دنیا کا سب سے زیادہ دکھی شخص تصور کرتے ہیں اور انہیں غصہ بھی عوام پر آ رہا ہے عوام بیچاری کیا کرے جسے ایک دفعہ وزیراعظم بناتے ہیں پھر وہ اس کرسی کو اپنا پیدائشی حق سمجھتے ہیں اور عوام کو یہ باور کرانے کی کوشش کرتے ہیں گویا انکا وزیراعظم بننے کو دل نہیں کرتا عوام کی خاطر یہ کڑوا گھونٹ پی رہے ہیں

Pakistan responds to Abraham Accords issue:
“Our position is absolutely clear Pakistan supports a viable & contiguous State of Palestine with Al-Quds Al-Sharif (Jerusalem) as its capital.”
Pakistan says its benchmark remains an independent Palestinian state.
No history? U surrendered Persia to Alexander with a walkover in 4th Century BC, while the chest wound that killed him slowly was given to him in Multan by the ferocious Malhi Jutt Clans of Punjab, after he was humbled on the banks of Jhelum by Porus. Ignorant Pahlavist Moron !!
@Osama_z1a That's the simple fact about which they don't talk.
BLA this BLA that. India this India that.
Come to the point. What the hell are you doing?
Every other day u r losing ur officers. Bannu is like a practice shooting range for terrorists.
Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.
He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.
Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.
Dear football,
Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.
Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.
When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.
To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…
That same Pakistani city makes the 2026 World Cup ball. Adidas announced it in October. They called it the Trionda. Four panels, the fewest any World Cup ball has ever had. Inside one of those panels, there's a chip that tracks the ball's every move and sends the data to referees in real time. It helps them call offsides faster.
The city is Sialkot. Sialkot made the 2014 Brazuca, the 2018 Telstar, and the 2022 Al Rihla. Same factory each time: Forward Sports.
Forward Sports is one of about a thousand soccer ball factories in Sialkot. The city makes about 70% of the world's hand-stitched soccer balls, roughly 40 million balls a year, climbing past 60 million in World Cup years. Around 60,000 people in Sialkot work on soccer balls alone. Pakistan's sports gear exports are on track to hit $1.1 billion this year.
What you're watching is the older method. Workers cut the panels by hand, dip them in coating, dry them on wooden racks, and stitch them together with thread. A skilled stitcher finishes about three balls a day for a few dollars. Those balls still ship out by the millions.
The Trionda gets built with heat. Its four panels get pressed together so the surface comes out smooth, the ball takes less water in the rain, and it flies straighter. The first World Cup ball built this way was the 2006 Teamgeist. Sialkot lost the contract that year. The 2006 and 2010 balls came out of factories in China and Thailand. Forward Sports learned heat bonding, won the contract back in 2014, and Adidas has stayed with them since.
The hand stitching in this clip built a billion-dollar export business out of one city. The next ball from that same city has four panels and a chip inside, and it's headed to North America in June.
India will never understand the power of this one Quranic verse - spoken in one breath, read in 2 seconds - on the national psyche of Pakistan. We truly were and will always be an impenetrable wall. 💚✊️
Congratulations to Pakistani Army Cadet Sardar Arsam Abbas on being named the Overall Best Foreign Military Cadet at Australia’s Royal Military College, Duntroon! A proud achievement that reflects excellence and leadership, and the enduring Australia–Pakistan partnership. 🇵🇰🤝🇦🇺
It was the darkest day for Pakistan’s democracy when the hybrid system was officially launched, and we are still stuck in it. May he rot in jail forever under the system he facilitated.
A consumer court has issued bailable warrants for the arrest of a shopkeeper and the CEO of Dawlance - a private company manufacturing home appliances
The warrants were issued for failing to comply with the court’s earlier order, which had directed them to either provide a new branded refrigerator or pay the equivalent amount to a plaintiff.
The direction was issued to the SHO of Civil Lines police station by Judicial Magistrate (Central) Asadullah Memon after both defendants — the shop owner and the CEO of Dawlance — failed to comply with the earlier order passed in February.
The court directed the SHO to execute the bailable warrants, issued against surety bonds of Rs10,000 each, by arresting the defendants and producing them before the court on May 7.
In Feb, the consumer court had directed both the defendants to either provide a new branded refrigerator or pay its equivalent amount to plaintiff Ali Raza as well as to pay Ta 20,000 each as compensation and counsel fees within 30 days.
The plaintiff had moved the court against the defendants under the Sindh Consumer Protection Act 2014 and stated that he had purchased a glass door refrigerator with an inverter technology manufactured by the private company (Dawnlance) in 2021 with 12 years of warranty from an electronic shop (Imran Electronics) in Gulberg.
He said that in 2024, the refrigerator broke down. He said he first approached the shopkeeper and then to the manufacturing company to get the problem resolved.
The plaintiff claimed that the company’s technician visited his home and after perusal of the warranty card stated that warranty of the inverter/circuit had expired as the company provides warranty for one year only; therefore, the technician demanded Rs 9,000 for the replacement of the inverter charges and further demanded Rs 900 as visit charges.
He argued that the respondents “failed to discharge their duty, they severally and jointly failed to replace the said refrigerator’s fault, knowing the same was under warranty.”
The court noted that the shopkeeper did not appear despite having knowledge of the pendency of the claim; therefore, his right to advance arguments was closed.
Meanwhile, through its representative, Dawlance contested the claim, arguing that it was neither maintainable nor had the plaintiff approached the court with clean hands.
The company submitted that the refrigerator delivered to the plaintiff was in proper working condition and had admittedly been used for more than two years. It further stated that the inverter carried only a one-year warranty, which had already expired.
It added that after the technician’s visit, the plaintiff was informed that the inverter could be replaced subject to payment of Rs 9,000, but the plaintiff refused. Therefore, there was no malpractice on its part and alleged that the plaintiff had attempted to secure an unwarranted replacement free of cost, contrary to company policy.
In its verdict, however, the court observed that during the evidence, the plaintiff produced documents, including the warranty card, and noted that “prima facie, nothing has come on record to suggest that there was/is only a one-year warranty for the inverter attached with the compressor.”
It further noted that during cross-examination, the company’s representative admitted that “there is a 12-year warranty of the compressor, whereas the remaining parts carry a warranty of one year.”
The court held that “such admission fully supports the case of the complainant,” as the inverter was admittedly attached to the compressor and had become defective. Since it fell within the 12-year warranty, the company was under an obligation to replace the inverter with a new one as guaranteed.
