QUETTA: PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari met the bereaved families of martyrs from the Hazara community, victims of an unending target-killings by terrorists in Quetta.According to a statement issued by the PPP, Bilawal Zardari offered fateha, sympathised with the families of victims and assured them support and solidarity from his party.At least eight Hazara people have been killed in a fresh spate of violence in Quetta in recent weeks. The killings prompted the community to go on hunger strike outside Quetta press club and Balochistan Assembly. The four-day sit-in was called off on Tuesday after Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa flew to Balochistan’s capital and met with the sit-in leaders. General Bajwa said that army was concerned with every Hazara life lost in terrorist attacks.Chief of Army Staff said that while nothing can compensate the loss of dear ones, he assured Hazara community brethren that those who have targeted them shall suffer twice as much.“State is responsible for security of its citizens and all state institutions are concerned for this. Each and every casualty including from Hazara community is of concern to us and our brave security forces are performing their best and willingly offering monumental sacrifices to bring lasting peace to the country,” he said. “During 2018 alone, so far 37 Security Forces personnel have laid their lives in Quetta. Through a unified national effort, we have turned the tide of terrorism, however a lot is still being done against inimical designs to reverse the gains by exploiting various fault lines.”

SC forms special bench to hear Khawaja Asif?s appeal

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has constituted a three-member special bench to hear an appeal of former foreign minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif against his disqualification by the Islamabad High Court. The bench comprises of Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Faisal Arab and Justice Sajjad Ali Shah. The apex court will conduct the first hearing on May 7. Last week, an IHC three-member bench headed by Justice Athar Minallah, disqualified Khawaja Asif under Article 62 (1)(f) of the Constitution for failing to disclose his employment in a UAE company and the monthly salary he was drawing.The court had disqualified Khawaja Asif on the petition, filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Usman Dar, alleging that the former foreign minister had not disclosed in his nomination papers for 2013 general elections, his employment in a UAE company and monthly salary.On Wednesday, Khwaja Asif filed a petition for leave to appeal under Article 185(3) of the Constitution against the IHC judgment.He prayed to the apex court to set aside the IHC judgment as well as the notification of Election Commission of Pakistan, de-notifying him as member of the National Assembly from NA-110 Silakot.In his petition, Khwaja Asif contended that the IHC erred in holding, “It is obvious form the facts and circumstances in the instant case that the respondent (Asif) had deliberately and willfully not disclosed his status as an employee of the company, nor receiving the salary pursuant thereto, however, Khawaja Asif claimed that he had made full disclosure in his nomination form as required under Representation of People’s Act (ROPA).“The obligation under the nomination form under S 12 of ROPA was to provide the statement of assets and liabilities as they stood on June 30, 2012 and which the present petitioner did so honestly”, Khawaja Asif submitted.The former foreign minister further contended when the requirement in law was to disclose assets and liabilities, which he did so honestly and even the salary of AED9000 was plainly recorded in the tax returns filed with the nomination papers and even the Iqama clearly recorded the name of the employer.“In the face of such disclosures, there was no basis for the IHC to conclude that he did not fulfill the conditions of Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution read with section 99(1)(f) of ROPA”, Khawaja Asif claimed.He further contended that in the facts and circumstances of the case, the use of the term ‘business’ while answering ‘occupation’ did not necessarily imply suppression or concealment of employment.The former foreign minister submitted that IHC was not justified in concluding “lack of honesty” in relation to the non-disclosure of the dormant bank account, adding that in relation to the non-disclosure of the dormant bank account, the IHC bench had gone beyond the pleadings of the petitioner.

Video: 'New Islamabad Airport but same people'

Pakistan on Thursday opened its largest  airport in Islamabad, more than a decade after its foundation stone was laid.Commercial flights were operated from the Islamabad International Airport a couple of days  after  its formal inaugural by Prime  Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi at a ceremony.As people started arriving at the airport, chaotic scenes were witnessed in the luggage area   of the terminal. But it was not caused by  anything that could be blamed on authorities.The incident was filmed by an unnamed passenger who later posted it on  the Facebook. The video was posted on a  Facebook page with a caption:  "New Islamabad Airport but same people. How change comes "Since then it has been widely circulated on different social media platforms, with users asking  their countrymen  to behave."I was on first duty at airport. But feel shocked to see people throwing garbage everywhere where. Even washrooms were used badly. And even destroyed plants and flowers," commented a user who happened to by there  as the  airport welcomed its first passengers.Another came up  with  an advice to prevent this from happening again."But  strict administration n fine would make them humans. Can u expect this in Dubai with same people and same nationality no because of strict rule.
