Ex-AJK PM Sardar Tanveer Ilyas to meet Chaudhry Shujaat tomorrow

Sardar Tanveer Ilyas, Chaudhry Shujaat

Former Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sardar Tanveer Ilyas is expected to meet Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain tomorrow, ARY News reported on Tuesday.

Sardar Tanveer Ilyas and PML-Q Chief Organiser Chaudhry Sarwar held a meeting today and discussed the political situation of the country. They agreed on holding more meetings in the future.

Ilyas is also expected to meet PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Wednesday (tomorrow).

In April, the full court of the Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) High Court had disqualified then Prime Minister Tanveer Ilyas in a contempt of court case.

The high court bench in a contempt of court hearing refuted the apology tendered by Sardar Tanveer Ilyas to the court following his speech at a public meeting criticising the stay orders and said the practice was affecting the performance of the government.

Later, the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Supreme Court had also rejected former prime minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas’ petition against the high court’s decision to disqualify him from the top office.

A full bench headed by AJK SC Chief Justice Raja Saeed Akram had heard the case. The court had dismissed the petition filed to suspend the judgment against the high court’s order and said that the appeal will be heard and decided on merit.

It was a major setback to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) after the AJK High Court removed Ilyas from the post of prime minister, making him the region’s first premier to be disqualified in a contempt of court case.

Later in the month, Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq had been elected as the 15th prime minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) by securing 48 votes from the region’s Legislative Assembly.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...

CDA removes golden hands sculpture in Islamabad after online backlash

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Monday removed a recently installed ‘Golden Hands’ sculpture located along Margalla Avenue in Islamabad. The artwork featured two large golden hands holding two balls like objects resembling a world map. Installed by a private developer, the sculpture quickly gained widespread attention on social media, sparking debate, memes, and a wave of speculation over its symbolism.
