Ongoing talks between Pakistan and the IMF to revive the loan program have come close to success. According to Finance Ministry officials, the government has promised to impose 2.5 per cent income tax on those earning Rs 6 to 12 lakh per annum and gradually levy Rs 50 per liter on petroleum products.

Fake Audio Ascribed To Malik Riaz Is Disproved By Him
June 6, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
Malik Riaz, the chairman of Bahria Town, stated on Sunday that an audio recording attributed to him on social media was phone, adding that creating a fake audio in the presence of deep-fake technology was not unusual.
“This [deep-fake] technology is the product of the audio ascribed to me on social media,” Riaz stated in a statement. “I do not wish to be associated with any political campaign,” he said, “but it is certain that my voice has been misappropriated for political benefit.”
“I’ve been attacked several times, and now my family is being targeted as well.” “I plan to file legal action on this case, and I will pursue every legal avenue available to me in order to find the perpetrators of this conspiracy,” he stated.
After Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders aired an audio clip — reportedly a discussion between the Bahria Town chairman and his daughter — exposing how Farah Gogi ‘demanded a present’ for former first lady Bushra Bibi, Riaz issued a statement.
Farah allegedly wanted a valuable diamond as a gift for the former first lady in exchange for “removing locks” on a building site and retracting a report against her father, according to the woman on the audio tape.
Riaz said that the audio tape was a hoax and that he would go to whatever legal venue to find out who was behind the plot. “Anyone who is involved in this will be held accountable,” he continued.
At a press conference, PML-N leader Attaullah Tarar and his party colleague Uzma Bukhari stated that under the PTI administration, the trio of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, and her companion Farhat Shahzadi alias Farah Gogi earned “billions.”
“It started in 2019, when Imran Khan awarded Ahsan Jamil Gujjar – Farah’s husband – relief worth Rs320 million under an amnesty plan,” Tarar claimed.
He went on to say that the previous PM granted the relief because of his personal ties with Bushra and Farah.
Imran and his family, according to Tarar, continued to engage in corrupt acts during the PTI’s rule.
“During the PTI’s reign, commissions and bribes were provided, and new records of corruption were created.”
Farah allegedly exploited Bushra’s clout to get positions and transfers in Punjab, according to him. Farah and her husband now have assets worth Rs10 billion, according to him.
“What were once million-dollar assets are now billion-dollar assets.” They should explain [how they achieved it] to impoverished Pakistanis so that they, too, may use their [the couple’s] skills to escape poverty.”
Johnny Depp Wins A $15 Million Slander Case Against Amber Heard
June 2, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Entertainment News
After a jury determined that Amber Heard’s 2018 piece in the Washington Post was defamatory, Johnny Depp has won his multimillion-dollar US case against her.
The actor was granted compensatory damages of ten million dollars (£8 million) and punitive damages of five million dollars (£4 million).
The jury also decided in favor of Heard, who claimed Depp’s lawyer defamed her by calling her assault accusations a fake.
Out of the $100 million she sought in her countersuit against the actor, Heard will earn $2 million.
“I stood up against sexual assault — and suffered our culture’s fury,” Depp wrote in an article headlined “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s anger.” “This needs to change.”
Although the piece does not identify Depp, his attorneys claim it wrongly suggests that he physically and sexually mistreated Heard throughout their relationship.
As the decision was read in court, Heard was visibly upset, while Depp was absent. The actress expressed her displeasure with the decision, calling it “heartbreaking.” “I can’t express how disappointed I am today. “I’m devastated that the pile of evidence was insufficient to overcome my ex-enormous husband’s power, influence, and sway,” she said in a statement.
“I’m much more dissatisfied with the implications of this decision for other women.”
“It’s a setback,” says the narrator. It turns the clock back to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out might be publicly humiliated and disgraced.
“It undermines the notion that women’s violence should be treated seriously.”
“I believe Johnny’s lawyers were successful in persuading the jury to overlook the crucial issue of free speech and to disregard evidence that was so overwhelming that we won in the UK.”
Depp, on the other hand, claimed the jury handed him “his life back” and that he “feels at peace” and “really humbled.”
“My life, the lives of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also the lives of the individuals who have supported and believed in me for many, many years irrevocably altered six years ago,” he said in a statement. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
“False, extremely severe, and criminal claims were made against me in the media, resulting in a never-ending flood of nasty information, despite the fact that no charges were ever filed against me.” It has already travelled across the world twice and had a seismic influence on my life and career in an instant.
Heard’s allegations of abuse were refuted by the Pirates of the Caribbean actor. In closing arguments, lawyers on both sides asked jurors to consider other victims of domestic abuse. Depp was recently seen performing with Jeff Beck at the Royal Albert Hall in London. At the concert, he was joined by his ex-girlfriend Kate Moss, who testified in favor of her former partner during the slander trial.

The automakers’ car costs have been reasonably stable over the previous two years. Analysts have predicted stormy times for the car sector this year.
Mashood Khan, chairman of the Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers (PAAPAM), indicated last month that rising freight costs, rising raw material expenses, and the depreciation of the Pakistani rupee will continue to cause havoc on automobile pricing.
HNMPL, like a number of other automakers, will adopt the revised pricing in the following order:
Those who paid in full by April 5th, 2022, and expect delivery in June will be charged the previous price.
Those who paid in full before April 25th, 2022, and expect delivery in May or June, will face a 50% price increase.
Those who order new Elantras after April 5, 2022, will be charged the full price hike.
He, like numerous others, pointed to the current Ukraine-Russia war as a major impediment to global commerce and a contributing factor to the looming catastrophe. More price spikes are likely in the future, based on these details.
