Imran Khan Blames Pak's Ex Army Chief For Nawaz Sharif's Ouster

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday blamed former Army chief, Gen (retired) Qamar Javed Bajwa, for getting PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif disqualified in the Panama Papers case, the Dawn reported.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan claimed that General Bajwa had "sent two brigadiers", who proved Nawaz Sharif was involved in the Panama case, Dawn cited Bol News interview.

"He (Bajwa) had sent two brigadiers who proved Nawaz was involved in the Panama case," Dawn cited Bol News interview quoting Imran Khan.

"This is why Nawaz is not forgiving Bajwa," Khan added.

Khan said Pakistan's former army chief and all the agencies were telling the media and his government members about how corrupt the leaders of the Pakistan Democratic Movement were. He further said these people "imposed those same people on us".

In response to a question why Nawaz Sharif was permitted to leave the country, Khan said the former Pakistan PM's medical reports were manipulated, the Dawn reported.

To a question on local government elections in Karachi, the former PM spoke about the 'tactics' used by Pakistan People's Party to 'steal the polls' by collaborating with the local police, administration and the election commission.

The PTI chairman stressed educated, business-minded people residing in Karachi can never "vote for PPP."

Speaking on the Toshakhana case against him, the former Pakistan PM said the government and "handlers" made a big deal of the matter for no reason.

Khan on Saturday claimed that General Qamar Javed Bajwa's behaviour changed after being granted an extension as the military's head in 2019, The News International reported.

Khan said, "General Bajwa changed after the extension and compromised with the Sharif. He decided, at that time, to give them the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO)", The News International reported citing an interview with a private channel.

The PTI chairman also claimed that General (retd) Bajwa hired Hussain Haqqani as the then ambassador of Pakistan to the United States to topple his government. He added that Haqqani joined the office through the Foreign Office, without their knowledge.

Imran Khan claimed that the former diplomat started lobbying against him in the US and promoted General (retd) Bajwa, according to The News International.

Imran Khan was ousted through a no-confidence vote in April last year.

Muhammad Now The Most Popular Name For A Baby In Great Britain, Data Shows

427 years after William Shakespeare wrote it for the first time in the great "tragedy" Romeo & Juliet, England is asking the quintessential question - "What's in a name?" - And this time wondering what significance that question might hold in another 42.7 years. The Department of Statistics in the United Kingdom has revealed in its latest dataset that Muhammad is officially the most popular name for a newborn boy in England and Wales. More than 4,600 babies were registered with that name in 2023 - the highest for a boy. Muhammad was the second-most popular name in 2022 as well. Noah, once the most popular name in UK, came a distant second this year, according to the Office for National Statistics or ONS. But the staff at Great Britain's statistical office has in-fact been observing the trend for a while now. Jotting down the most popular names in the UK, besides other important statistics, it revealed that Muhammad has been among the top 10 names for...

US Issues $25-Million Bounty On Venezuela President On Day Of His Oath

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whose nearly 12 years in office have been marked by deep economic and social crisis, was sworn in for a third term on Friday, despite a six-month-long election dispute, international calls for him to stand aside and an increase in the US reward offered for his capture. Maduro, president since 2013, was declared the winner of July's election by both Venezuela's electoral authority and top court, though detailed tallies confirming his victory have never been published. Venezuela's opposition says ballot box-level tallies show a landslide win for its former candidate Edmundo Gonzalez, who is recognized as president-elect by several countries including the United States. International election observers said the vote was not democratic. The months since the election have seen Gonzalez's flight to Spain in September, his ally Maria Corina Machado going into hiding in Venezuela, and the detentions of high-profile opposition figures and ...

It's Official, Kamala Harris Is Democratic Candidate For US Election

US Vice President Kamala Harris effectively secured the Democratic party's presidential nomination Friday, confirming her remarkable rise to party standard bearer in November's showdown against Republican Donald Trump. Kamala Harris was the sole candidate on the ballot for a five-day electronic vote of nearly 4,000 party convention delegates. She will be officially crowned at a Chicago convention later this month. "I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States," Kamala Harris, 59, said on a phone-in to a party celebration after securing enough votes by the second day of the marathon vote. In the two weeks since President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid, Kamala Harris has gained full control of the party. No other Democrats stepped forward to challenge her elevation to the top of the ticket, making her confirmation as the first Black and South Asian woman ever to secure a major party's nomination a formality. The a...
