Though Japan lost, but all the applause for the Japanese Team for containing Brazil for so long. got unlucky in the last 2 mins 👏👏 #BrazilvsJapan#FIFAWorldCup
@ZehraFarooq one of the factors being overlooked by everyone is India, operationally, it was a nightmare getting both EDs (may read both govts) to sign off each other projects originating from same regional office. Lots of to & fro, esp over lang used for Kashmir. In a way, it's a blessing.
It's definitely sad to watch PEMRA to restrict mourning last of the golden voices from Indo sub-continent, whose career is older than Pakistan. But more sad to read comments of these young ppl supporting the notice & spewing venom..learned nothing from neighbors' decaying decency
PEMRA has issued a show-cause notice to Geo News for airing content related to the legendary subcontinent singer Asha Bhosle.
It has always been customary to revisit and celebrate the work of iconic artists when reporting on them. In fact, for an artist of Asha Bhosle’s stature, we should have shared even more of her timeless and memorable songs than we did.
Yet, Pakistan’s electronic media regulator, Pemra, has chosen to restrict this.
Art, like knowledge, is a shared heritage of humanity and it should not be confined by borders. Asha Bhosle herself admired Pakistan’s legendary singer Noor Jahan, whom she fondly called her “elder sister.” She collaborated with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and brought to life the poetry of great Urdu poets like Nasir Kazmi.
In times of war and conflict, art and artists should not become casualties. Intellectuals, musicians, and creators are often the very voices that stand against hatred and division, and the ones who bring people closer together.
Of all the parliamentary players, I hope the PPP suffers the most. They have no active stake in running the government and would probably survive the next election, yet they chose to be sell-outs for one lousy immunity.

Gal Gadot claims that ‘SNOW WHITE’ flopped because of “the pressure on celebrities to bring up things against Israel” rather than her terrible acting.
“You can always explain & try to give people in the world a context about what’s happening [in Israel] & what the reality is here, but in the end people decide for themselves”
