ORIGIN OF THE ULTIMATE REMEDY 

SURAH AR-RAHMAN, #55, NOBLE QUR’AN,

Ever since the revelation of The Holy Quran, the people of Islam are continuously benefiting from Its light and energy with same intensity and effect. But how to get it? In our times, there came a very noble person of a notable Syed family, Makhdoom Syed Safdar Hussain Bukhari (RA), whose initial research was on Music and Dhammaal Therapy.

He was known as Baba Bukhari (RA) among his loving followers, who strongly believe that he is the real torch bearer for the distracted and those desperately looking for light and guidance.  Baba Bukhari (RA) was a practical man, who never asked people to do something unless he had not done it himself. So he came out with a brilliant idea of curing all types of diseases through “The Qur'anic Radiations”.

He (RA) said, “every alphabet of Quran radiates light and energy in the heart and mind; provided it is listened with deeper concentration”. He gave a practical demonstration and the results were fascinating. What he did? He purchased the audio cassette of Surah “Ar-Rehman," a recitation of Qari Abdul Basit Abdul Samad. He (RA) gathered the people, directed them to close their eyes, asked them to empty their minds and feel the presence of GOD. 

The cassette was then played and everyone listened to it till the end with deeper concentration. When he (RA) asked the people to open their eyes after the recitation had ended, majority were weeping, whereas a few looked absolutely stunned; only tears could be seen coming out of their eyes. Then he served every individual with a half glass of water and said, “Close your eyes, go deep into your heart and then say 'ALLAH” three times in the heart and then drink water in three sips with closed eyes”. 

They did so and when he asked them to open their eyes, every one looked relaxed and comfortable. They had tasted a sweet water, which in fact was the normal tap water. Actually, absolute concentration created harmony between soul and body and all got connected to The Almighty and were eventually cured with His blessings. Now the question was, how to deliver this message to the entire humanity.

Thanks to the technology which helped in spreading the message and the same idea for the betterment of mankind was given to Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV). They instantly approved it and a pilot program with the title “Ar-Rehman” was made by the Senior Program Producer Syed Shakir Uzair (Waris-e-Qalandar). He had earlier produced QASEEDAH BURDAH SHARIF, a program which attracted millions of people and had the distinction to cure the most fatal of diseases; the paralysis. 

People still use this program as a treatment for paralysis.

The pilot program (Ar-Rehman) was a successful undertaking, which gave a new dimension to the religious programs. PTV approved the pilot program and the Series was launched in January of 2001. The programs were recorded in different hospitals, villages and cities and gained tremendous viewership. 

The program also included the live expressions of participants. The Qur'anic Radiation gave a new hope and life to the most dejected ones. The audience were provided with an e-mail account info@alrehman.com and telephone numbers for sharing their experiences.

The entire experiment which was telecast, covered more than 15000 people of various ages suffering from different diseases. From headache to cancer, heart trouble to physical disability; the patients were contacted, treated and cured by the grace of “ALLAH”. All this happened on TV screen which really created a new hope and brought people out of absolute dejection.

The program also included the expressions of the leading religious scholars from all over the country who added further flavor in the program through multiple references defined in the Quran and Sunnah, the importance of Qur'anic Radiation was highlighted.

While doing the experimentation in the hospitals, the doctors also became a part of it, many of them had remarkable feelings. I remember a doctor saying, “we can only prescribe medicine, not the remedy. ‘Shifa’ is from ALLAH”. The doctors also gave references of the “Faith Healing” concepts being practiced all over the world. The program clicked and indeed it was the need of the time. Many of the hospitals installed audio system and played the recitation of Surah “Ar-Rehman”. The results were astonishing, the frequency of patients reduced and curing ratio increased, the dejected ones came to life.

The program was telecast for 6 months on the national network and was later shown on the prime TV Norway which covered a vast European population. The message continues to spread as people gather in different groups and benefit from The Ultimate Remedy.

The program also included the message of its creator, Makhdoom Bukhari (RA), “The Quran is 'Shifa," I have taken Surah “Ar-Rehman” because it has great rhythm and the recitation of Qari Abdul Basit is very soothing and effective as he has recited from the depths of his heart. The one who listens with deeper concentration, does get the benefit. All one has to do is to feel its revelation in ones heart. Always feel the presence of GOD, never be the ignorant”.

Baba Bukhari (RA) achieved what he had desired, a real service to mankind. A selfless human made worth of his life by giving a remarkable remedy to the sufferers and a guide line for the generations to follow. He did not charge a single penny from PTV for his idea and research. He believed, “Money is like a snake, it bites you and generates anxiety and depression. Once you become its victim, you are deprived of the precious wealth which is the peace of mind and heart”. GOD says, “All the Muslims are brother of one another so help your brother at the time of need”. 

The Prophet HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (SallAllahu 'alaihi waSallam) said, “Choose only that thing for your brother which you prefer for your self”. So Makhdoom Baba Bukhari (RA) said, “When you are cured, give this message to your brethren, they might be needing it”. This message is the continuity of the direction well defined in the last Sermon of HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (SallAllahu 'alaihi waSallam) .

This weeks artist- Rumana Hussain!

Swapna Tamhane - was our visiting artist scholar for the week and she talked about an artist that inspired her a lot. She focuses on indian art in art history and includes it in a discourse on its own without comparison to western art history.

Rumana Hussain

Swapnaa Came across her work in 2000, a year after her death and hence was unable to meet her even once in person.

(The angel and Colaba 1990 )

In Swapnaa’s words- “Her Art wasn’t good, but she made art for the working class”

“She wanted to understand the relationship between being a housewife and being successful herself while also supporting her family and her husband’s success”

She was one of the first artists in India to propogate performance art and really being it into the realm of Indian art. Her work was powerful and was charged with feministic agendas and political issues.

Living on the margins / Textured terrain

It was the First performance piece in Indian art.

She used a common household washing blue dye (robin) to symbolise the indigo revolution that cost thousands of lives during the British colonial Era.

Geru powder made of red mud and bricks was used to symbolise health and contrast with the bright blue of the Robin powder.

She flung the powder between two bricks then picked up a half cut papaya and walked from her performance to the end of the walkway.

Stopped every two steps to make screaming motions ,but no sound could be heard.

She ended her piece by washing clothes with the blue Robin dye and vacuuming grass.

Her bizarre references and seemingly crazy acts with household objects were meant to describe the absurdity of patriarchal norms like expecting woman to look after the men for no repayment or benefits of her own. Her reference to historical events also shows how much her culture and history affected her everyday life especially as a Muslim in post colonial India.

There were many reasons that inspired her to start on her performance pieces especially after she was established as a painting artist.

Her cousin was stabbed after namaz so she started the performance pieces as a part of the protests against rushdy . Safdar Hashmi was also murdered by the pro Hindu party.

Her art was her protest against communalism. Babri Masjid also acted as a catalyst.

She developed a sort of uniform reminiscent of Lucknow courtesans; complete with a Paramda (hair extensions for dancing) and ghungru( anklets for dancing)

“Is it what you think?”

In this piece she projected slides on her body, asked questions to the audience ; very spooky; wore a half burkha and paramda ; and showed scars on her chest from breast cancer treatments.

The questions she asked were rather Feministic and very personal to her own life. “Does she clean and cook? Is she you?”

As Swapnaa describes it -“Very vain and abject work; totally about herself; she creates a hypothetical woman that’s actually herself” . She had a desire to unfold colonial history and how woman are oppressed in 1990 and even in 2018; she made waves in the short history of feministic art in India. She also described the Muslim Female experience described through sanitary pads and hanging burkhas.

According to Swapnaa,”Global feminism doesn’t exist because each place has its own historical cultural background and so definitions of it change depending from place to place.” And so although we may have good intentions for everyone, what helps a woman in Pakistan May not be what a woman in the United States needs.

“Images are power and no image is neutral” ~ Rummana Hussain

She really embodies her quote in her work and makes sure that every image ever produced of her work, was powerfully charged with feministic and political intentions.

Panama Papers

Thief Family of Disgraced and Convicted Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif: Daughter Mariam Safdar, Son Hasan Nawaz Sharif and Son Hussain Nawaz Sharif

Convicted thieves of Pakistan: Top: Disgraced Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif, Now Sheltered By The “Roots of All evils UK.” Left: Hussain Nawaz, Middle: Mariam Safdar and Right: Hassan Nawaz

Controversy has long engulfed Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s family, including three of his four children – Mariam, Hasan and Hussain – over their riches from a network of businesses that include steel, sugar and paper mills and extensive international property holdings. At various times, depending on the political party in power, the Sharifs – one of Pakistan’s richest families – have been accused of corruption, ownership of illegal assets, tax avoidance and money laundering. Mariam, Hussain and their father have been detained on such charges, exiled to Saudi Arabia and also acquitted. When allegations first surfaced in 2000, a family member called them "completely wrong," and declared: "This is a very religious family." Hasan, who moved to London over 16 years ago, and Hussain have been running family businesses from abroad. Mariam reportedly is being groomed to take over leadership of her father’s political party.

IN THE DATA

Three children of former Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif – Mariam, Hasan and Hussain– were owners or had the right to authorize transactions for several companies. Daughter Mariam Safdar was the owner of British Virgin Islands-based firms Nielsen Enterprises Limited and Nescoll Limited, incorporated in 1994 and 1993. Sharif's first term as prime minister ended in 1993. The companies owned "a UK property each for use by the family" of the companies' owners. Hussain and Mariam signed a document dated June 2007 that was part of a series of transactions in which Deutsche Bank Geneva lent up to $13.8 million to Nescoll, Nielsen and another company, with their London properties as collateral.In July 2014, the two companies were transferred to another agent. Mossack Fonseca knew that Mariam Safdar was Nawaz Sharif's daughter, a "Politically Exposed Person," and committed to checking her activities twice a year beginning in July 2012. Hasan Nawaz Sharif was the sole director of Hangon Property Holdings Limited incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in February 2007. The Liberia-based firm Cascon Holdings Establishment Limited was a shareholder of Hangon. Later in the year, Cascon transferred shares in Hangon Property Holdings Limited to Hasan Nawaz Sharif for about $11.2 million. Mossack Fonseca resigned as agent for Hangon because Hasan Nawaz Sharif was a "Politically Exposed Person."

New Post has been published on Trekking in Pakistan

New Post has been published on http://bit.ly/2TOVAvT

Werthum Pass

Duration 7 days Distance 52.4km Standard Very demanding, technical Season Mid-June-September Start China Camp Finish Raminj Zone and Permit open, no permit Public Transport yes Summary Werthum Pass offers a rugged mountaineers’ route between the Batura Glacier and Chapursan’s Lupgar Valley through unvisited areas with scope for climbing and watching wildlife.

  Werthum (‘millstone’ in Wakhi) is an infrequently crossed nonglaciated pass (5147m) linking the Batura Glacier to Chapursan’s Lupgar Valley to its north. The pass offers an alternative exit from the upper Batura Glacier, especially attractive for those climbing in the Werthum Valley. This rugged side valley north of the Batura Glacier has some easy nontechnical snowy peaks, and several technical peaks ranging from 5400m to 5900m at the valley’s head and along the Shireen Maidan (sweet field) Glacier. The views from the pass include the six Batura peaks and Shishpar. Crossing Werthum Pass isn’t technically difficult, but requires basic mountaineering skills.

PLANNING

What to Bring

A rope, ice axe and mountaineering equipment necessary to cut steps in the ice cornice on the north side of the pass are required (see Mountaineering Equipment,). Crampons aren’t necessary when crossing from south to north, but are when crossing from north to south. When trekking with porters bring a tarp or tent for their use because no huts exist for the two nights between Kukhil and Harkeesh.

Maps

Refer to Maps under the Batura Glacier trek (p). The Swiss map incorrectly marks the trail between Shireen and Maidan and Werthum Base Camp (unmarked), and misrepresents the confluence of the streams that form Werthum Nala. The actual trail is on the opposite side of the river from where the trail is drawn on the map; the map has it backwards. Unsuspecting trekkers have dangled on nasty scree slopes and cliffs trying to follow the trail depicted on the map. Werthum Pass isn’t marked and the glacier on its north side is much smaller than the map shows. Harkeesh isn’t marked either. It’s on the south side of the Lupgar River along the first side stream west (left) of the place name Purzin.

Guides and Porters

Hiring a local guide and porters is unavoidable. Only four Passu men-Qamar Jan, Sanjar Beg, Ali Aman and Safdar Hussain- know the route over the Werthum Pass, although more will learn the route after the authors’ crossing and opening of this route in July 2000.

When crossing from north to south, hire men from Raminj or Khaibar. Ghulam Sar- war from Khaibar and several men from Raminj also know the route. It may, however, be difficult to find any porters willing to do it, because of the steepness and difficulty from this direction.

Stages

Passu porters ask for 11 stages total between Passu and Raminj, although it’s only 10 stages. Passu to Guchesham or Shilmin is 4½ stages total, but porters usually charge five stages for this distance (see the Batura Glacier trek, for more details). They also ask for one stage between Shilmin or Guchesham and Shireen Maidan, which should be half a stage, thereby effectively inserting an additional stage, much to their benefit. The five stages beyond Shireen Maidan are: (1) Werthum Base Camp; (2) Werthum High Camp; (3) Shikar Gah; (4) Harkeesh; and (5) Raminj.

GETTING TO/FROM THE TREK

To the Start

See the Batura Glacier Trek for a description of how to reach China Camp.

From The Finish

See the Lupgar Pir Pass trek for a description of where to go from Raminj.

The Trek

Days 1-2 : China Camp to Yashpirt

2 days, 16.6km, 872m ascent

See Days 1-2 of the Batura Glacier trek for the description between China Camp and Yashpirt.

Day 3 : Yashpirt to Shireen Maidan

6 hours, 16.9km, 586m ascent

See Day 3 of the Batura Glacier trek for a description of the 4½- hours walk between Yashpirt and Shilmin. From Shilmin, the trail up the Werthum Valley leaves the Batura Glacier’s north margin bending 90 degrees and follows the Werthum Nala’s true right (west) bank north-east. Massive scree slopes on both the valley’s east and west walls guard its entrance. Stay close to the hillside (on the left) 15 minutes to the place where dwarf willows (chikor) grow. Begin a steady climb over scree on a faint trail. Early in the season, when snow is melting, be cautious for extreme rock-fall danger. After 30 minutes, the trail reaches the top of the scree and continues level for 15 minutes to Furzeen. The predominant birches (furz) and scrub junipers shade this attractive grove where a seasonal stream trickles. Ibex frequent the opposite rocky slopes as they migrate between the Batura Glacier and Khaibar Nala via the Shireen Maidan Glacier. The trail descends steeply a short distance to the river, and follows the river bed to the confluence of the Werthum Nala and the Shireen Maidan Glacier’s outwash Stream. Cross the Werthum Nala via two enormous adjacent boulders that bridge the torrent 300m upstream from the confluence, or ford the river when water is low. Along the true left bank at the confluence is a level camp site, sheltered from the wind, with six stone circles. A spring trickles near the river’s edge. Shireen Maidan (3888m) is a preferable camps site to Shilmin, well worth the additional 1½ hours’ walk. The peaks above the glacier offer climbing possibilities (see the boxed text ‘Peak Possibilities’,).

Day 4 : Shireen Maidan to Werthum Base Camp

3 hours, 3.8km, 475m ascent

Recross the river to the Werthum Nala’s true right (west) bank and immediately ascend the steep scree slope on a yak trail to the grassy slopes above. Traversing high above the river gorge, the trail crosses three small ravines, the last two of which offer clear water. Before the second stream, 1½ hours from Shireen Maidan, a difficult section of trail rounds a yellowish rock face called Dzug Band (literally, ‘difficult yak trail’ in Wakhi). A few minutes farther ahead, a house-sized overhanging boulder offers shelter and marks the beginning of the huge area Known as Werthum, which extends all thye way to the valley’s head. Fifteen minutes past the third stream the going gets a little easier, and a cauliflower like edible plant (yamush) and purple flower (bozlunj), whose dried petals can be used to make a tea that assists with acclimatization, pop up between the shale, ephedra and patches of grass.

The trail descends to the river where it disappears among rocks and boulders along the river’s true right bank. Stay close to the water’s edge, hopping rocks and scampering across boulders 15 to 30 minutes. This section could be difficult in the afternoon when water levels are typically higher. The route then fords the Werthum Nala to its true left bank shortly beyond the confluence with a side stream. This is the outwash stream coming from the unnamed glacier to the east. Once across the river, a trail ascends the steep rhubarb- dotted scree slope five minutes to a cairn at the top.

A lone stone circle, which is used as a porters’ shelter, marks Werthum Base Camp (4363m) in the middle of an exposed, broad grassy plateau above the confluence of the two unnamed streams that join to form Werthum Nala. The stream from the north-west issues from the glacier lying at the base of Werthum Peak, whose summit dominates the valley’s head. The other is the outwash stream from the sizable unnamed glacier that descends from several 5000m peaks east of Werthum Base Camp. Water is accessible in a small ravine east of the stone shelter.

This is a relatively short day, but the 475m elevation gain is an argument for stopping. When previously acclimatized, it’s possible to move up to Werthum High Camp. Otherwise, enjoy an afternoon spent strolling in the meadows. It is possible to climb Werthum Peak or one of the other peaks in the area (see the boxed text ‘Peak Possibilities’).

  Peak Possibilities

Werthum Valley is a climbing destination with many peaks accessible to trekkers with mountaineering experience. Here are a few options.

Peaks above Shireen Maidan Glacier

Accessible from Shireen Maidan

(Day 3)

A dozen jagged 5000m and 6000m summits encircle the Shireen Maidan Glacier, beckoning climbers to this picturesque side valley. Most climbs are along the glacier’s north side and are mostly mixed ice and rock. These technical routes are more difficult than those accessed from Werthum Base Camp (Day 4). Beneath the Shireen Maidan Glacier’s terminal moraine, 10 minutes east of the confluence camp site on Day 3, is an extremely clear and deep blue- green lake. The grassy area nearby is the base camp.

Werthum Peak

Accessible from Werthum Base Camp (Day 4)

Werthum Peak (peak 5844m on the Swiss map), the valley’s only named peak, is a technical peak north-west of Werthum Base Camp. The three-day climb involves an ascent/descent of 1418m each way. On the first day, move from Werthum Base Camp upvalley to the high camp called Deposit Camp, where porters ‘deposit’ climber’ loads. The route to Deposit Camp stays low along the true left bank of the Werthum Nala’s north-west branch, and crosses the stream descending from Werthum Pass. Continue past the confluence of outwash streams from two glaciers, the southernmost of which ends in an icefall from peak 5539m. Cross the northern glacier’s outwash stream and move onto the black rocky moraine between the two glaciers. Deposit Camp is at the west edge of the northern glacier. On the second day, summit and return to Deposit Camp. Climb steeply to the ridge, staying far to the left (south), and then head right (north) to make the long traverse of the corniced north-south ridge to the summit. A rope, ice axe and crampons are essential, and anchors may be necessary depending on snow conditions. Return to Werthum Base Camp on the third day. It’s a fairly serious route, not recommended for novices.

Unnamed Peaks around Werthum Base Camp

Accessible from Werthum Base Camp

(Day 4) North and north-east of Werthum Base Camp are several unnamed, rounded snow- covered summits. These non-technical ‘walk-ups’ range from 5300m to 5500m, easily engaging most trekkers for a day or two. A rope and ice axe are necessary, but crampons are optional.

  Day 5 : Werthum Base Camp to Werthum High Camp

3-4 hours, 3.4km, 612m ascent

From Werthum Base Camp, it’s advisable to set a high camp below the pass. Follow a faint yak trail for 1½ hours, staying very high above the true left bank of the Werthum Nala’s north-west branch. The route traverses north-north-east over stable slate and talus heading towards the rounded peak (5426m on the Swiss map) whose dry slopes are capped by snow. Werthum Pass lies on the ridge that runs south-east between this peak and peak 5315m. The route to the pass is via the side valley immediately in front of peak 5426m. The last reliable clear water flows in the second side stream before the highest grassy patch where yaks sometimes graze.

Cross a dry gully 30 minutes beyond the grass, then head north another 30 minutes up a relentlessly steep rock- and scree-covered hillside. The angle steepens to 25 degrees towards the ridge top, which separates the main Werthum Valley from the barren, snow-filled upper basin beneath the pass. A stream flows through this upper basin and down a steep ravine to meet the Werthum Nala’s north-west branch far below. Traverse scree 45 minutes to one hour to Werthum High Camp (4975m) on a level rocky terrace high above the true left bank of the stream descending from the pass. Water trickles from afternoon snow melt.

It’s possible to break up the Knee-pounding 1658m descent from Werthum Pass to Harkeesh by forgoing a high camp on the south side and crossing Werthum Pass in one long day. This also avoids sleeping at high altitude. The 6.9km between Werthum Base Camp and Shikar Gah Camp can be covered in 6½-8½ hours, with a 784m ascent and 862m descent. The following day, the 1190m descent to Raminj takes 5-5½ hours (8.2km; see Days 6-7 for a description).

Day 6 : Werthum High Camp to Harkeesh

6-7 hours, 6.1km, 172m ascent, 1658m descent

Continue up the snow and scree slope to reach the Werthum Pass (5147m) 45 minutes from the high camp. The pass has 20- to 25- degree slopes on both sides and a permanent 3m to 4m vertical cornice on its north side. Use a rope belay while breaking through the cornice and cutting steps in the ice to reach the talus below the pass. The pass is more difficult before mid-July when there’s more snow and a larger cornice.

Descend the talus and scree slope, then cross a tiny bergschrund onto a small unnamed glacier. Cross the glacier in 15 minutes to moraine and a stream. Cross to its true left bank, and follow the stream down 30 minutes to a level area (4694m). It is possible to make a high camp here when trekking from north to south.

Cross to the stream’s true right bank where the valley begins to drop steeply. Reach the confluence with another stream coming from the south-west in 15 minutes. The route stays along the main stream’s true right bank as the valley turns northward and narrows. When trekking from north to south, take caution to stay to the east (left), and follow the true right Bank of the easternmost (left) stream.

The stream plunges steeply between two enormous reddish rock walls into the canyon-like area called Shikar Gah (4285m) 30 minutes below the confluence. (Some people also call this area Bayeen Shikar Gah, a hunting place named after Bayeen, a man from Chapursan). The level stream bed here has some grass, flowers and rhubarb amid the curious conglomerate boulders that dot the valley floor. Fifteen minutes farther, at this area’s north end, is an overhanging boulder with a level rocky area nearby that offers a reasonable lunch spot and possible camp site. Ibex droppings indicate these wild mountain goats roam the cliffs above.

Begins the steep descent of the boulder choked gorge immediately below Shikar Gah on the stream’s true right bank. The only way down the gorge is literally right at the water’s edge. In very high water, the difficult route might be impassable. For the next 1½ to two hours it hugs the banks. You clamber over boulder after boulder and cross the torrent as needed. Steep scree slopes on both sides of the valley make this the only route.

Eventually you reach the highest pastures along the stream’s true right bank, and pick up a faint, but obvious, livestock trail. The going becomes easier, and in 15 minutes the trail descends to cross a convenient boulder to the stream’s true left bank. Pungent junipers dot the slope. From a ridge five minutes beyond the natural bridge, Harkeesh (‘place of cultivation’ in Burushaski), a level grassy area, is visible below. Descend the steep slope on a poor trail past junipers, wild roses and abundant birches 30 minutes to a log footbridge. Pause to marvel at the colourful sculpted rock cleft which the stream emerges. Follow the path along a canal 15 minutes to Harkeesh (3489m). Water from the canal flows to Harkeesh in the afternoon, but can be dry by morning.

Day 7 : Harkeesh to Raminj

2½-3 hours, 5.6km, 394m descent

See Day 6 of the Lupgar Pir Pass trek for a description between Harkeesh and Raminj (3095m).

PDM HAS MET ITS LOGICAL END: SACM

LAHORE, March 17:

The third corona wave is taking a dangerous turn as 1137 new cases have been reported and 41 others have died during the last 24 hours in the province.

Special Assistant to CM on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan stated this in a statement issued on Wednesday. She said 16132 people have also been tested during this period while a total of 3565948 have, so far, been tested in the province. Along with it, 5811 patients have died of the corona, she added. The number of active corona cases has reached 10222.

Meanwhile, the SACM said the PDM has been fully exposed to the issue of tendering resignations and its chaotic politics has also come to an end. One needs courage and audacity for a long march and those who are fed on illegal means cannot dare to hold it. Such elements cannot hold a long march or tender resignations, asserted the SACM. The PML-N will always remember the tricks employed by Mr. 10 per cent with the father of Maryam Safdar. Those who used to portray themselves as allies till yesterday are at loggerheads now. Meanwhile, Maulana has got nothing and he should go into some seclusion because he has been fully humiliated by Bilawal Zardari, concluded the SACM.

PMLN,s Javed Latif criticized for his 'Pakistan Khappay' statement

Various ministers of the government criticised PML-N MNA Javed Latif for his 'Pakistan Khappay' remarks, accusing him of issuing an anti-Pakistan statement.

A day earlier, Latif had said during a current affairs show on a private TV channel that if anything happened to PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz, the PML-N will not say "Pakistan Khappay".

Special Assistant to Prime Minister of Pakistan on Political Communication Dr Shahbaz Gill said Latif's statement had made it clear that money was dearer to the PML-N than anything else.

He said that those who talk against the solidarity of the country would meet the same fate that MQM founder Altaf Hussain had met, adding that they should apologise for the remarks.

SAPM to the Punjab Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan lashed out at the statement, saying it is "the height of madness and shamelessness".

"For this [statement] they deserve punishment, not forgiveness," she tweeted.

"This Maryam Safdar sycophant Javed Latif has the audacity to threaten to break up Pakistan. Any fool who places loyalty to leader above loyalty to the country is a disgrace & should be dealt with accordingly," tweeted federal minister Ali Zaidi.

پاکستان کا حامی و وفادار ہونے کا حلف اٹھانے والے MNAجاوید لطیف کی جانب سے جھوٹی راجکماری اور کرپٹ ظل سبحانی کے پروپیگنڈہ پر اندھا دھند وطن مخالف بیان بےشرمی اور پاگل پن کی انتہا ہے! جس پر یہ معافی نہیں سزا کے مستحق ہیں۔ عقل سے عاری درباری اس حد تک نہ گریں کہ واپسی کا راستہ نہ رہے
