LEBANON – According to IRNA, Iranian Energy Minister Ali-Akbar Mehrabian has declared the conclusion of a power transfer line to Pakistan’s neighbour in an effort to increase energy trades between the two nations.

According to reports, the two nations formally agreed to use the aforementioned transmission line on Monday for the exchange of up to 200 megawatts (MW) of energy in the near future.

In a ceremony witnessed by both of the aforementioned men, the aforementioned contract was inked.

On the margins of a meeting with Dastgir-Khan before the signing event, Mehrabian told the press that the 200 megawatt energy transmission line between Iran and Pakistan was planned and constructed in less than a year.

He declared that the line had undergone all required tests and trials and was now electrified.

“There were positive talks about the interchange of power through this connection in today’s meeting with the Pakistani minister of energy,” Mehrabian continued.

The official estimated that the present yearly trade between the two nations is worth over two billion dollars and added that the building of this line will increase the amount of electricity exchanged between the nations to 200 megawatts, which will significantly strengthen the economic ties.

For his part, Dastgir-Khan referred to his earlier visit to Iran, saying that during this trip, “efforts were made to reach a final agreement and the progress of the previous agreements regarding the electricity exchanges between the two countries through the electricity transmission line was pursued.”

He continued, underscoring the significance of strengthening and expanding ties between the two nations, saying:

“It is anticipated that we will observe the growth of energy trades between the two nations with the final agreement following the creation of technical and business teams.”

The two neighboring nations’ energy ministers met for the second time in less than a year at this conference. During his visit to Tehran in June of last year, Dastgir-Khan conferred with Mehrabian.

The Judge Will Not Rule On Imran’s Warrant Revocation

March 6, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

According to the PTI chief’s attorney, a private complainant’s warrant issuing has been somewhat delayed.

On Monday, an Islamabad district and sessions court reserved judgement on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s application to revoke the non-bailable warrant that had been issued for him in the Toshakhana case.

Lawyers Qaiser Imam, Gohar, and Ali Bukhari submitted a plea in the court of Additional Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal on behalf of the ousted prime minister.

Imam argued that since the issue of a warrant in a private complaint had been “to some extent averted,” the court ought to revoke Imran’s arrest warrant.

In his remarks, Judge Iqbal said that Imran’s attorneys had informed them that he would not be appearing in court on February 28.

The court then put the decision on hold.
The PTI leader arrived to Islamabad’s judicial complex on February 28 with members of his party to defend himself against allegations of terrorism and illegal finance.

It is important to note that the sessions court is in F-8 Kachehri, which is about a half-hour drive from the courthouse and where the PTI leader had to appear in the Toshakhana reference and an attempted murder case.

Imran’s attorney had asked the judge at the Toshakhana reference hearings to postpone the hearing by an additional five days.

The defence attorney had stated that he was unable to appear in court with the deposed premier. He had however added that if his client was able to escape the courthouse in time, he would show up in court.

When he issued the non-bailable warrants, Judge Iqbal had postponed the hearing until March 7. (tomorrow).

The PTI leader avoided arrest in the most recent incident a day earlier when his supporters stopped the Islamabad police from accessing his Zaman Park mansion in Lahore amid intense drama.

Nonetheless, Imran was given the notice by the police, who gave it to his chief of staff Shibli Faraz, for “compliance” with the arrest warrants issued by the federal capital’s sessions court in the Toshakhana case.

February 6, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

Musharraf’s Body Is Expected To Be Returned To Pakistan Today

February 6, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

Pervez Musharraf, a former military leader, died in Dubai a day ago, and his remains will be returned to Pakistan today (Monday).

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, a spokesman for the Foreign Office (FO), claimed that Musharraf’s remains were being transported thanks to Pakistani embassies in the United Arab Emirates.

His family has been in contact with our missionaries in the UAE.

Musharraf passed away in Dubai at the age of 79 after a lengthy fight with the uncommon disease amyloidosis. Musharraf, who stole power following a coup in October 1999 and ruled Pakistan until 2008, had usurped power after a coup.

On Sunday morning, the word of his passing first spread on social media before reaching the mainstream media as a result of confirmation from the former army chief’s family and the Pakistani embassy in Dubai. The former dictator’s condition was reportedly in serious condition for the previous few months as his organs began to fail as a result of the terminal sickness.

Musharraf’s remains will be returned to Pakistan today on a special flight where he will be buried in Karachi. A no-objection certificate has also been given by the Pakistani consulate general in Dubai to assist his family’s return home (NOC).

Consul General Hassan Afzal Khan was reported in a media source as stating, “We are in contact with the family and the consulate would aid in any manner it can; the consulate has given the no-objection certificate.”

In 2018, the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) revealed that Musharraf had amyloidosis, a set of uncommon but dangerous diseases brought on by the accumulation of an aberrant protein called amyloid in organs and tissues all over the body.

The former military dictator was hospitalized for three weeks in June of last year, which led to rumor’s that he had passed away. His family had to make a statement to deny these claims, nevertheless.

“I’m going through a tough time when healing isn’t feasible and my organs aren’t working properly. During that time, his family issued a message via Musharraf’s official Twitter account, asking for prayers for ease in his everyday life.

A court accused the former dictator for suspending the Constitution on November 3, 2007, and two years later, he fled Pakistan for medical treatment. He was given the death penalty on December 17, 2019, by a special court convened to handle the ex-high dictator’s treason case. A Lahore High Court bench, however, halted the special court’s ruling.

Government Permits ‘Sky High’ Increase In Gasoline Prices

January 30, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

Finance Minister Ishaq Dar explains that the price of gasoline and high-speed diesel increased by 35 rupees per litre, that the price of kerosene oil has increased to 189.83 rupees per litre, and that the price of light diesel oil has increased to 187 rupees per liter. He also notes that on the instructions of the Prime Minister, the price of gasoline remained unchanged for the previous four months.

Due to an increase in the price of oil on the worldwide market and the devaluation of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar, the government has increased the price of gasoline and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs 35/liter each.

PRODUCT	NEW PRICES
Petrol	PKR 249.80
High Speed Diesel (HSD)	PKR 262.80
Light Diesel Oil (LDO)	PKR 187.00
Kerosene Oil	PKR 189.83

Ishaq Dar, the federal minister of finance, announced a hike in the price of all petroleum products, including gasoline, high-sulfur diesel, kerosene, and light diesel oil, in a brief televised address on Sunday morning (LDO). The price of gasoline and diesel would rise by 35 rupees per liter, the minister announced. He announced an increase of Rs 18 per liter in the price of light fuel and kerosene.

High speed diesel now costs Rs 262.80 per liter as opposed to Rs 227.80 per liter before the hike. From an early price of Rs 214.80/liter, the price of motor spirit/petrol reached a record high of Rs 249.80/liter. Kerosene oil’s price has increased from Rs. 171.83/liter to Rs. 189.83/liter. Light diesel oil now costs Rs 187 per liter as opposed to Rs 169 per liter.

Ishaq Dar recalled that the price of gasoline did not increase during the previous four months, from October to January 29. He also said that kerosene and diesel costs have been reduced.

Last week, the Pakistani rupee lost about 12 percent of its value versus the US dollar, while oil prices rose 11 percent globally. On the instructions of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, it has been agreed to make a modest rise in the pricing of petroleum products notwithstanding international prices and currency depreciation, the finance minister stated. Dar stated that the hike is being implemented right away after the oil and gas regulatory authority’s proposal (OGRA).

OGRA claims that there have been complaints of false shortages and gasoline stockpiling in anticipation of price increases; as a result, this price increase is being implemented right away to address the artificial scarcity, the official stated. By 11 a.m., the revised pricing would go into effect in the following two to three minutes, according to Dar.
The minister anticipated that announcing increased pricing would put an end to rumor’s that gasoline supplies were running low. Due to the nation’s oil scarcity, the administration decided to modify fuel prices three days before the revision was supposed to take place on January 31.

Petrol stations all around the country stopped selling fuel on Saturday as a result of rumours that the price of gasoline and HSD will increase by up to Rs80 per litre. Rumors of a significant increase in oil prices for the upcoming two weeks led to stockpiling at gas stations and the artificial closure of more than 80% of gas stations in various parts of the nation.

According to a government source, the government computed the price of oil using oil prices up until October 27 and the average rupee conversion rate of Rs 236 per dollar.

The revised pricing are valid through February 15, 2023.

Fiscal restraint is necessary for the nation’s development and can only be achieved when democracy is stabilised, according to Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, who earlier made this statement at the conclusion of the two-day Bacha Khan Conference.

He stated that we need to stop depending on foreign help. He said that the late Bacha Khan had advocated for using native resources rather than ones that were imported.

Senator Yusuf Raza Gillani, a former prime minister and the head of the Pakistan People’s Party, had before urged adherence to the Constitution to uphold the rule of law and enhance democracy in the nation.

PTI “Secures” Imran’s Residence Amid Arrest Concerns

January 26, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

Imran Khan claimed in a televised address that he was shocked to see the establishment was still supporting his rivals as large numbers of supporters gathered outside his home to thwart a potential attempt to arrest the PTI chairman on Wednesday. He added that he would continue to challenge those who planned his ouster.

"لاٹھی گولی کی سرکار

نہیں چلے گی نہیں چلے گی"

PTI leaders and supporters gathered at Zaman Park to support their leader as soon as word of the potential arrest of the former premier reached party members. A few hours before Mr. Khan was taken into custody early on Wednesday morning, Fawad Chaudhry was likewise attracted to Zaman Park by rumor’s that Mr. Khan would soon be detained.

Around two in the morning on Wednesday, workers began to arrive to Zaman Park, and they stayed there all day. As the audience grew throughout the day, not even Lahore’s chilly weather and a rain could dampen their spirits.

Wednesday night, PTI senior leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi renewed his appeal to legislators and party members in favor of Mr. Khan. He asked former PTI MPs and supporters to get to Zaman Park right now in a tweet.

Qureshi calls on party members to swarm the PTI chief’s home; the former prime minister visits Elahi and alleges the establishment is still supporting the PDM.

The followers, who kept themselves occupied with chants and halwa pooris, also expressed their ire at interim Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi, whom they held accountable for the latest onslaught on the erstwhile ruling party. Similar to this, throughout the day, Mr. Khan-supporting chants could be heard at Zaman Park.

The demonstration against the alleged preparations to arrest Mr. Khan became popular on social media, notably Twitter, where it continued to be one of the top topics.

The event also gave PTI leaders a chance to engage in sporadic media interviews to demonstrate their steadfast dedication to Mr. Khan’s agenda.

Speaking to reporters outside Zaman Park, PTI Punjab Central President Dr. Yasmin Rashid criticized the detention of Fawad Chaudhry and promised that party leaders, workers, and the general public will not keep mute in the face of the government’s sleaze.

The existing government’s severe measures, she argued, “would not be able to divert PTI’s attention from its demand for free and fair elections.”

میں آج اپنی عدلیہ اور وکلاء برادری سے کہتا ہوں کہ اگر آج آپ انصاف کے لیے نہ کھڑے ہوئے تو ملک کا کوئی مستقبل نہیں ہے۔ عمران خان

The PTI chairman said that in order to ensure that the nation had free, transparent, and legitimate elections, he “sacrificed” his party’s administrations in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He urged the judges to make sure that Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa general elections take place within 90 days after the dissolution of legislatures.

The election cannot be longer than 90 days if there is a Constitution and legislation in this nation, he said.

The PTI leader said that the establishment was backing the PDM and expressed dismay at how the ruling class had decided to defend people who had been robbing the nation for the previous three decades.

Mr. Khan asserted that Naqvi has appointed back all the members of the Hamza Shehbaz government.

He asserted that police had already begun to intimidate PTI employees and that everything was going “according to a plan.”

Separately, former chief minister Parvez Elahi also discussed the state of politics with the PTI leader. The nation, according to Mr. Elahi, is turning to the court to protect PTI leaders and workers from the ‘fascist’ government’s vengeance.

According to sources, Mr. Elahi also warned the PTI chairman that if he disbanded both assemblies and gave his rivals the reins of power, the PDM administration would unleash “the harshest sort of torture” on PTI and PML-Q leaders and workers.
