Pakistan’s Prime Minister Pledges To Compensate Flood Victims

September 15, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

ISLAMABAD — After the worst floods in the nation’s history, Pakistan’s prime minister assured the nation’s homeless population on Wednesday that the government would make sure they were compensated to rebuild and resume their lives.

Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, second from the right, converses with a youngster at a makeshift school in a tent in the Pakistani Baluchistan flood-stricken community of Suhbatpur. Following the nation’s worst-ever floods, Sharif pledged the nation’s millions of homeless people on Wednesday that the government would make sure they were compensated to repair their houses and resume their lives.

A half million people are living in camps as winter approaches after being evacuated by the flood, which damaged 1.7 million houses. Delivering food, tents, and money to the victims has been the government’s top priority up to this point. Since mid-June, the floods have claimed 1,481 lives, affecting 33 million people.

We’ll do everything we can to provide you with financial support so you may build new homes “Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif spoke to a number of families residing in tents and temporary structures in the Baluchistan town of Suhbatpur. “The government will provide compensation to those who lost their houses and crops, “he stated during his remarks on television.

Under the town of Suhbatpur, where hundreds of schoolchildren were receiving assistance from UNICEF to study in a tent, Sharif also informed the students that a new school will be built there in the following two months.

“Pakistan has never seen such massive climate-related destruction, “Sharif stated to a group of attorneys on Wednesday in Islamabad. “Watching flooded villages, towns, and cities was awful.”

After 15 days, according to Sharif, Pakistan will enter its winter season, and the flood victims will face a new challenge: figuring out how to survive in the bitter cold when they were previously living in tents throughout the summer.

Even getting clean drinking water to flood victims has become difficult, he claimed.

70% of Pakistan’s wheat, cotton, and other crops were devastated by the floods. The government now claims that the economic toll is far higher than Pakistan’s initial estimate of $10 billion in losses. The world community, especially those responsible for climate change, has been encouraged by the UN to provide greater aid to Pakistan.

Thousands of people are now homeless as a result of the monsoon rains that destroyed entire communities, bridges, and highways. A third of the country’s land area was submerged under water at one time.

Unprecedented rain-related losses in Pakistan have been attributed by several analysts to climate change.

Sherry Rehman, Pakistan’s minister for climate change, stated to a group of MPs from the Asia Pacific on Wednesday in Islamabad that the threat posed by climate change, which “knows no boundaries,” is currently affecting the whole globe.

She urged cutting emissions to protect other nations from the harm that her country is already experiencing.

Overnight, Pakistan received its first shipment of Saudi Arabian help.

The United States and many other nations, including the United Nations, have already provided around 90 planeloads of aid.

In response to an urgent call for $160 million, member states have so far pledged $150 million, according to Julien Harneis, resident coordinator for the United Nations in Pakistan, who made the announcement during a news conference on Wednesday.

Pakistan: Former Prime Minister Khan’s Party Battles Government Repression

August 25, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

After Khan was ousted in April of this year due to a no-confidence vote, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is under a great deal of pressure. The PTI is under pressure since they frequently attack the country’s strong military in their big demonstrations, accusing the generals of being behind the regime change, and they back the recently-installed Shehbaz Sharif administration.

Khan was charged after he delivered an aggressive speech to thousands of his supporters at a rally in the capital city of Islamabad, criticizing the arrest of his top aide and threatening the senior police officers and judge overseeing the case. Khan is a former cricketer who has since become a populist politician. He claimed that the cops had tortured his assistants.

Speaking to his fans on Saturday, Khan threatened them, saying, “We will bring cases against you and will not spare you.”

During his rallies and media appearances, Khan has made remarks that have been directed at Pakistan’s powerful military, police, and present government.

Khan has been given a three-day “transit bail” that prevents authorities from detaining him on terrorism-related accusations.

Thousands gather in front of Khan’s villa

On Monday, hundreds of PTI supporters gathered in front of Khan’s hillside home outside of Islamabad to show their support for their leader. If Khan is arrested, the PTI has threatened to bring the nation to a standstill through protests and rallies.

“Imran Khan’s arrest would trigger a widespread, violent backlash that would plunge the nation into anarchy. We gave this government a deadline warning. If you detain our leader Khan, millions of people will march toward Islamabad to overthrow this government “claimed Fakhar Zaman Sial, a lawyer who was seated next to Khan’s villa’s entrance.

“People have strong feelings for Khan, and it is absurd to file bogus charges against him. He’s a terrorist, right? No, he is a respected national leader on a worldwide scale. We won’t allow this to take place. Khan will have to be taken into custody in spite of our bodies, “added a different ally.

“Our devoted employees raced to Khan’s home early on Monday morning and prevented the arrest plot from succeeding. I got here on Sunday evening “Approximately 250 kilometer’s (155 miles) from Islamabad, in the Punjabi region of Sargodha, arrived Mohsin Raza, who spoke to DW.

“Khan and his party are currently under pressure, but it won’t last through the tenure of the current military leadership. If PTI survives this specific moment of duress, it will probably emerge considerably stronger as the nation’s unquestioned main party, “Political analyst Mosharraf Zaidi told DW.

Threlkeld asserts that the PTI lacks a leader with Khan’s degree of support and charisma who could lead the party, creating a vulnerability at the top were Khan to be sidelined, in the event that Khan is detained or excluded from politics for an extended length of time.

The immediate repercussions are likely to be a possibly deadly clash between Khan’s fans and the state, according to Afzal, but I think the party will unite around Khan, not choose an other leader. Khan’s party has stated that his probable arrest will be a “red line.”

Furthermore, the PTI chairman has received a new notice from the ECP calling him to appear in person on August 18 to hear a reference about his disqualification, at the request of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) leadership.

A day earlier, the coalition government submitted a reference to the ECP asking for the former premier’s disqualification. Barrister Mohsin Nawaz Ranjha, a PML-N MNA, presented the reference to the ECP.

Mohsin Ranjha has also received a separate notice for hearing on August 24 on the referral he had filed in his own capacity against Imran Khan’s disqualification as MNA under Article 63 (2) of the Constitution.

Nooh Dastagir Butt lifted overall 405kg to set a new record in Commonwealth Games

BIRMINGHAM: Nooh Dastagir Butt brought honour to Pakistan by helping them win its first gold medal at the Commonwealth Games (CWG) in 2022.

Hussain Shah’s bronze medal was Pakistan’s first at the CWG 2022, but just hours later, Butt demonstrated his superiority by winning the gold and breaking several CWG records.

Butt set a new CWG record for the 109+ kg division by snatching 173 kg. Butt lifted 232 kg in the clean and jerk to break yet another record. Butt lifted 405 kg in total, a CWG record.

Weightlifter Nooh Dastagir Butt winning his first gold medal at the Commonwealth Games (CWG) in 2022 is a memorable occasion for Pakistan.

The New National Anthem Will Be Released By The Government On August 14

Nooh Butt broke two records in the 109+kg division by snatching 173 kg and clean and jerking 232 kg. Butt lifted 405 kg in total, which is a record for CWG 2022.

David Andrew of New Zealand lifted 394 kg to win silver, while Singh Gurdeep of India lifted 390 kg to win bronze.

Butt won a bronze medal in the 105+ kg division at the 2018 CWG. Talha Talib, who competed in the 62kg division and also took home bronze, was with him.

In the history of the CWG, Pakistan has only ever won a gold medal in weightlifting. Shujauddin Malik won gold in the 85 kg division in 2006.

He believes that the year he took off taught him a lot, most notably that winning is important to him and that getting back on one’s feet is important even when the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB), the Pakistan Olympic Association (POA), and the government did not support him despite the fact that he was one of the best athletes to emerge from Pakistan.

He recounted how his family had struggled with his thigh muscle rupture and rehabilitation because there were no sports medicine specialists in Pakistan and neither the PSB nor the POA offered any assistance.

It was difficult for me to not be able to compete, therefore it was a gloomy moment for me.

He acquired Covid-19 during the pandemic and was unable to compete in the Tokyo Olympics qualifying stages. However, he made the decision that he wanted to heal quickly in order to compete more effectively.

“I can say that my stakes in the Commonwealth Games are really high because I want to at least be able to demonstrate here all of the hard work that I have put in over the past 12 to 14 years of my life. I also want to win an Olympic medal. I would have if I were physically capable, but the goal is to triumph and honour my nation in order to finally have better outcomes, said Nooh.
