Parmish Verma says he has zero space for negativity after announcing divorce from wife Geet Grewal

Mumbai, Sep 6 (IANS) Punjabi singer-actor Parmish Verma has shared a message about staying away from negativity in life, days after announcing his separation from wife Geet Grewal. Taking to Instagram, the Gaal Ni Kadni singer shared glimpses from his fathers birthday celebration and expressed his admiration for him. Parmish also emphasized the importance of keeping negativity at bay. Sharing images, he wrote, Negativity di thaan Zindagi ch Zero, Ni main kisse da ni fan, Mera Bapu mera Hero (Zero space for negativity in life. Im not a fan of anyone; my father is my hero.) The photos show the actor posing with his father, mother, and brother, Sukhan Verma. In one of the images, Parmish is seen feeding a piece of cake to his dad. The other pictures capture him posing with his mother and sharing sweet moments with his family. The post comes a day after the Punjabi singer-actor confirmed his divorce from Geet Grewal in a social media statement. Parmish also acknowledged that there is a woman in his life at present. His clarification came amid weeks of trolling and speculation surrounding his alleged relationship with actress and model Harman Brar, along with claims that he had been unfaithful to his former wife, Geet Grewal. Parmish wrote, Being a man makes you a convenient psychological scapegoat; blame the gender, simplify the story, and the mob gets to feel morally superior. I understand the psychology of it, and I accept the burden without resentment. When I was drowning, nobody came to save me. I dealt with my own consequences, carried my own pain, and learned to stand again. That, too, is being a man. The singer added, So is having the discipline to respect my ex-wife, respect the woman in my life today, and never confuse bitterness with masculinity. What isn't manhood is weakness disguised as virtue, becoming a weasel in a mob, feeding an agenda for attention and money, and calling cowardice morality. I know what I am. I would rather be hated for standing upright than applauded for crawling with the crowd. I'm proud of the man I became.

Pakistan: Human rights body calls for justice, accountability after Ahmadiyya leader's killing

Islamabad, Sep 5 (IANS) Karachi-based International Human Rights Committee (IHRC) has called for immediate justice and accountability in the assassination of Mirza Safdar Mahmood, a local leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Pakistans Punjab Province. Mirza Safdar Mahmood, aged 65, was shot dead in the town of Mandi Bahauddin, reported Spanish media outlet 'Atalayar'. IHRC is an organisation focusing specifically on the rights of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. Targeted killing: Ahmadi local official gunned down in Pakistan. Mirza Safdar Mahmood, 65, was shot dead while travelling to an Ahmadi place of worship in Mandi Bahauddin.IHRC calls for immediate justice and accountability, IHRC stated on X, sharing a detailed report. IHRC stated that the targeted killing of Mahmood cannot be viewed in isolation as it comes amid a deeply disturbing backdrop of persistent anti-Ahmadi hatred, incitement and threats across Pakistan. Representatives of the Ahmadiyya Community stressed that the victim had no personal disputes or prior animosities, pointing squarely to a targeted killing motivated by religious intolerance. Mahmood is survived by his wife and two children; his funeral and burial arrangements were subsequently conducted in the city of Rabwah, the report in Atalayar revealed. It noted that the assassination took place amid the escalating incitement and hate speech targeting Ahmadis across the district of Mandi Bahauddin. In recent weeks, regional religious figures had issued virulent threats, including public death threats against a local police officer on account of his Ahmadi faith, as well as explicit intimidation directed at pregnant Ahmadi women. This pattern of lethal violence has direct operational precedents in the immediate area: on 8 June 2024, two members of the Ahmadiyya community were shot and killed in separate armed ambushes carried out on the same day in the locality of Sadullahpur, the report highlighted. It noted that the Pakistani state is legally bound to guarantee the right to life, personal security, and freedom of religion for all citizens without distinction, in accordance with the charter provisions of the United Nations (UN) and fundamental principles upheld by the European Union under international human rights treaties monitored by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Consequently, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community calls upon the federal government in Islamabad to launch an exhaustive, swift, and impartial judicial inquiry to bring both the perpetrators of Mahmood's murder and the intellectual instigators of sectarian hatred to justice, while deploying robust protective measures to prevent future hate crimes across the province, the report emphasised.

Rahul Gandhi calls Punjab Polices brutality victim, seeks justice

Chandigarh, Sep 5 (IANS) Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Saturday spoke with Mohanjit Singh, the alleged custodial victim of the brutality of the Punjab Police. Mohanjit Singh alleged that he was tortured while in police custody, including being subjected to electric shocks and being forced to consume drugs. The allegations have triggered a political storm, with almost all Opposition parties demanding an independent investigation. Meanwhile, the Congress announced that its workers across the state would show black flags to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann everywhere he goes to express solidarity with Mohanjit Singh. The partys state President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, who met Mohanjit Singh here, told the media that Rahul Gandhi hailed the courage shown by Mohanjit Singh in standing up for the truth and conveying his message. He has asked the Congress in Punjab to ensure that he gets justice. The state President said that CM Mann had started behaving like Ahmad Shah Abdali and his countdown had started. He said Mann was not the first Chief Minister to be shown a black flag, as several Chief Ministers and even Prime Ministers have been shown black flags in the past. But, he added, nobody reacted the way Mann did. He said ideally the Chief Minister should have shown grace and dignity and called Mohajit Singh and asked him why he was protesting. But instead, CM Mann unleashed the brute police force on the youth, who was subjected to brutal third-degree torture in police custody and even given electric shocks. Besides, he added, his eardrum has also been damaged due to brutal manhandling by the police. Rejecting the inquiry ordered by the police into the incident, Warring demanded that the Station House Officer (SHO) concerned and the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) must be dismissed. He said such people do not deserve to be in the police. Warring also promised that in case the AAP government does not take any action against both policemen, the Congress will initiate action if the party comes to power. Warring said the Congress may meet the Governor to ensure action and justice for Mohanjit.

Western govt support enabling deeply misogynistic culture across Pakistan: Report

Washington, Sep 5 (IANS) Western governments must recognise that their financial and military support for Pakistan is enabling a deeply misogynistic culture in which women and children are subjected to violence and abuse in the South Asian country, a report has stated. Pakistan requires extensive legal, social, economic, educational and political reforms to address violations of womens rights. Until meaningful changes are made, foreign women travelling to Pakistan must exercise extreme caution, as they could potentially face blasphemy allegations, physical violence or sexual assault, Turkish journalist Uzay Bulut wrote for American media outlet PJ Media recently. She noted that the targeted killings of social media influencers have intensified in recent years, triggering serious concerns over womens safety in Pakistan. On August 14, a 28-year-old content creator, Shamso Bibi, with more than 1.3 million followers, was shot dead by two men in Taxila, near Pakistan's capital Islamabad. Bibi, also known online as Ayesha Gilamana, was killed allegedly over a financial dispute, her brother Niamatullah said as he appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif to intervene in the case and ensure justice. Citing Pakistani media reports, Bulut said that two unidentified men on a motorcycle opened fire on Bibi, while she was traveling with her younger siblings, marking the latest case in a wave of gender-based killings in Pakistan. The killing of Bibi follows a string of cases involving female social media content creators, amid mounting concerns about harassment, violence and the broader risks confronting women in Pakistan. Highlighting escalating violence against women across Pakistan, Bulut said, Each year, hundreds of women and girls are killed in Pakistan, often by relatives who say they are protecting the family's honor. Deadly violence and physical abuse against women and girls by their family members are widely underreported and often treated by local authorities as private family matters rather than crimes. These abuses are mainly rooted in Islam. Pakistan adopted an Islamic Constitution in 1973 and Sharia (Islamic) law in its civil code. In line with Sharia's systematic oppression of women, Pakistani women and girls face severe, systemic human rights violations such as domestic abuse, sexual abuse, honor killings, abductions, forced conversions, and harassment, which remain widespread and largely unpunished, she added. The report noted that young girls from religious minority communities in Pakistan, particularly Hindus and Christians, continue to be systematically targeted through abductions, forced religious conversions, rape and forced marriages. Stressing that these are not isolated incidents, PJ Media cited political scientist Gianna Francesca Catolico, who said Pakistan, a state party to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), has a long and disturbing record of abuses against women and girls, particularly women human rights defenders (WHRDs). Catolico said that these abuses range from sexual violence, incest, forced conversions and forced marriages involving girls under 18 to a despicable series of honour killings, some of which have even been carried out by Pakistani diaspora families in developed countries.

NCB exposes twin heroin supply routes into J&K from Pakistan: officials

Jammu, Sep 05: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Jammu zonal unit, through a sustained intelligence-led offensive, has stated to have exposed two distinct routes being used to push heroin into Jammu and Kashmir-directly from Pakistan through the Uri sector and indirectly through Punjab. In four heroin interceptions in the Jammu division within about a month, along with a linked follow-up recovery in Punjab, NCB has seized a cumulative 6.920 kg of heroin. Significantly, two of these operations, an NCB spokesperson said, were conducted inside drug-affected 'bastis', taking enforcement action directly into vulnerable pockets being exploited for drug trafficking. In the latest operation on September 3, 2026, NCB intercepted a passenger bus near new Bus Stand, Samba and recovered 522 grams of heroin from Aqib Bashir, resident of Kakapora, Pulwama, J&K. According to the NCB spokesperson, the Bureau immediately pursued the backward linkage of the consignment. The trail led to Ludhiana, Punjab, where a separate follow-up operation resulted in the recovery of another 197 grams of heroin. The linked Samba-Ludhiana operation thus resulted in seizure of 719 grams of heroin so far, while further investigation was underway to identify and apprehend other persons connected with the supply, transportation and intended distribution of the consignment. The Punjab trail came close on the heels of another major NCB Jammu operation involving seizure of 5.160 kg of heroin. Investigation in that case indicated that the consignment had originated from Pakistan and entered J&K through the Uri sector. NCB pursued the trail beyond the point of seizure up to Leh, where the alleged supplier was apprehended, spokesperson stated. The two investigations therefore exposed two different supply channels feeding heroin into the region-one originating across the Pakistan border and another operating through the Punjab-J&K corridor. As part of the same sustained offensive, NCB conducted two separate operations inside drug-affected 'bastis' in the Jammu and Samba belt, recovering 438 grams and 603 grams of heroin respectively, the spokesperson maintained. Together with the 5.160 kg Jammu seizure and the latest 522 grams Samba seizure followed by the 197 grams Ludhiana recovery, the operations resulted in a cumulative seizure of 6.920 kg of heroin. NCB's strategy is focused not merely on intercepting drugs or apprehending carriers. Every consignment is being pursued backwards towards its source, forwards towards its intended recipients and through its financial trail, with the objective of identifying and dismantling the entire trafficking chain, spokesperson said. The Pakistan-Uri trail pursued up to Leh and the latest Samba trail pursued backwards into Ludhiana demonstrated this approach, he added. Further investigation is underway to identify the source, intended recipients, financiers and other associates of these networks and trace their wider interstate and cross-border linkages, NCB spokesperson said, urging the public to join the fight against drug trafficking. Any information relating to the sale, storage, transportation or trafficking of narcotic drugs may be shared on the MANAS National Narcotics Helpline 1933. The identity of the informant will be kept confidential, it was stated.

Pakistan at the crossroads: Zardaris absence, Nawazs calculations and PTIs September challenge

Pakistan appears to be entering one of the most politically consequential months in recent times. President Asif Ali Zardaris extended stay abroad, growing speculation about his political relationship with the countrys powerful establishment, Nawaz Sharifs apparent recalibration, the Pakistan Peoples Partys resistance to any division of Sindh, and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insafs preparations for a major protest movement have together created an atmosphere of uncertainty. September could prove to be a month that determines the direction of Pakistan's politics in the months ahead. However, separating confirmed developments from political speculation remains essential. The most intriguing political development concerns President Asif Ali Zardari. Zardari left Pakistan with members of his family on August 27 for what was officially described as a private visit to Europe, and he is at present staying in London. On the surface, there was nothing unusual about the journey. Pakistani political leaders frequently travel abroad, particularly to London and Dubai, where many maintain personal, political and family connections. But the timing of Zardari's departure has generated intense speculation. Veteran political commentators publicly raised the possibility that Zardari's extended stay abroad might represent something more than an ordinary private visit. He suggested that the President could be entering a period resembling a semi-exile. There is no official indication that Zardari has left Pakistan under pressure or that he is unable to return. Nevertheless, in Pakistan's political environment, symbolism often becomes as important as official statements. Zardari's departure came at a time when the PPP appeared increasingly confrontational over reports and political discussions concerning the possible restructuring or division of the existing four provinces into 33. Almost immediately after his departure, political temperatures in Sindh rose. The Sindh Assembly had scheduled proceedings and resolutions in late August, while the PPP intensified its political messaging against any attempt to divide the province. Civil society groups, lawyers and political workers also became increasingly active. PPP leaders, including Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and other senior figures, adopted a firm position against any attempt to redraw Sindh's political boundaries. The question being asked in political circles is simple: Was the timing merely coincidental, or was Zardari's foreign visit part of a larger political calculation? The present speculation inevitably brings back memories of 2015. At that time, Zardari delivered his famous warning that the establishment should not forget its constitutional limits, using the phrase that he could make brick answer brick a political threat that dramatically escalated tensions. Soon afterwards, he spent a prolonged period outside Pakistan, largely in Dubai. He returned after a long absence, and the episode became another example of the complicated and often unpredictable relationship between Pakistan's civilian politicians and its military establishment. This historical experience explains why Zardari's current foreign stay is attracting so much attention. If the President remains abroad for an extended period, even without making public statements, his absence itself could become politically significant. A serving President remaining outside the country for a prolonged period amid political tensions would inevitably generate questions both inside Pakistan and internationally. But it would still be premature to describe the situation as exile. At present, the more accurate description is political uncertainty. The PPP has taken one of its clearest political positions in recent months. It has strongly opposed the idea of dividing Sindh or creating new provinces that could alter the existing political geography of Pakistan. The party's position is politically important because Sindh remains the PPP's principal political stronghold. For the PPP, therefore, the issue is not merely constitutional. It is also about political survival. The PPP's opposition to Sindh's division is motivated primarily by political control and the protection of entrenched interests. That is an opinion and cannot be treated as an established fact. Supporters of the PPP, on the other hand, argue that the division of Sindh could weaken provincial autonomy and create fresh ethnic and political tensions. Whatever the motivation, one thing is increasingly clear: the PPP has chosen to take a public political stand. And that stand could complicate any attempt to build a broad national consensus around the creation of new provinces. Experts in Pakistan also said that President Zardari wants his son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari should be made the next Prime Minister, but Pakistani Army Chief General Asif Munir is more interested in Maryam Nawaz, present Chief Minister of Pakistani Punjab and former Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif. While the PPP has adopted an aggressive political position, Nawaz Sharif and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz appear to be following a more cautious path. For years, Nawaz Sharif's political career has been shaped by a complicated relationship with Pakistan's military establishment. There have been periods of confrontation. There have also been periods of cooperation. The current political environment appears to have produced another phase of calculation. There are speculations that Nawaz Sharif may be willing to support major constitutional or political arrangements in return for a larger political role for his daughter, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. Pakistani experts said that Nawaz Sharif has given assurance to the Pak Army that PML( N) will support the army's move to establish new provinces or states, but his daughter, Maryam Nawaz, should be made the next Prime Minister of Pakistan. There is no publicly established evidence of such a bargain. Yet the broader political question remains relevant. Where does Nawaz Sharif stand if Pakistan enters another major phase of constitutional restructuring? Will the PML-N support the creation of new provinces? Or will its position depend on broader political negotiations? These questions remain unanswered. The PML-N's political strategy appears markedly different from that of the PPP. The PPP is publicly drawing political lines. The PML-N appears to be keeping its options open. Why London Matters London has once again become an important political reference point. Pakistani politics has repeatedly travelled to London. Political leaders have held meetings there, undergone medical treatment there, lived there during periods of exile and conducted informal political consultations there. With several Pakistani political figures and influential personalities travelling to Britain, speculation has naturally increased. However, the belief that major decisions will be made in London should also be treated cautiously. Pakistan's political history demonstrates that informal political conversations may occur abroad, but decisions ultimately depend upon the balance of power within Pakistan. London may be a meeting place. It is not necessarily the place where Pakistan's political future will be decided. While the PPP and PML-N calculate their political positions, PTI is preparing for confrontation. The party has announced a major long march and protest movement scheduled for September 27. PTI leaders have repeatedly linked the proposed movement to demands concerning the release and medical treatment of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has publicly said that the September 27 movement remains central to PTI's political strategy. In recent statements, he described the planned campaign as a decisive struggle for Imran Khan's release. The PTI has also been attempting to broaden its political mobilisation beyond Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Sohail Afridi has taken PTI's movement to Sindh KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and PTI's central leadership has undertaken a five-day political tour of Sindh. The campaign is part of PTI's wider street movement. According to the announced programme, the leadership is scheduled to travel through several major towns and cities. The itinerary includes areas around Jacobabad, Shikarpur, Larkana, Naushehro Feroze, Nawabshah, Sanghar, Mirpurkhas, Umerkot, Hyderabad and Karachi. PTI leaders have described the tour as an attempt to mobilise party workers and build momentum before the September 27 protest. The visit is politically important for another reason. Sindh is traditionally considered difficult political territory for PTI. A successful mobilisation campaign there would allow the party to argue that its movement has acquired a genuinely national character. The announced schedule also includes meetings with lawyers and party workers in Karachi. Whether the PTI succeeds in generating large crowds remains to be seen. But the party's intention is clear: September 27 is not meant to emerge suddenly. It is being prepared through weeks of political mobilisation. Another development adding to political uncertainty concerns Imran Khan himself. A report attributed to an unnamed senior PTI leader claimed that attempts were being discussed to move Khan abroad, possibly to Britain, under conditions that could restrict his political activities. The report suggested that his former wife Jemima Goldsmith, their sons and possibly the British government could be asked to provide guarantees. According to the claim, Imran Khan would not be expected to make political statements if transferred abroad. The same report claimed that Khan had shown no willingness to accept such an arrangement. These claims require considerable caution. They are based on a political source and have not been independently confirmed. A report carrying similar claims said that the alleged proposal had not been accepted by Khan. What is confirmed, however, is that Imran Khan's health and treatment remain central issues in Pakistan's political debate. PTI has repeatedly demanded improved medical care and his release. Recent reporting has also focused on his transfer for medical examination and subsequent political controversy over the implementation of court orders. The issue has become more than a legal matter. It is now central to PTI's political mobilisation. A crowded political battlefield Pakistan's political landscape is becoming increasingly crowded. Maulana Fazlur Rehman has intensified his political criticism. PTI is preparing for a nationwide movement. The PPP has taken a firm position on Sindh. Lawyers and civil society groups are becoming politically active. Political tensions continue in Balochistan. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remains politically volatile. Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir(PoJK) has also witnessed political instability and renewed tensions. In this atmosphere, the relative political caution of the PML-N becomes even more noticeable. Almost every major political force appears to be preparing for some form of political struggle. The PML-N, however, seems more interested in managing the existing balance of power. That may be a strategy. Or it may become a political weakness. Pakistan's politics has historically been shaped by three competing forces. The elected political leadership. The military establishment. And public political mobilisation. At different times, one of these forces becomes dominant. The current situation suggests that all three are once again moving. The establishment remains the most powerful institution in the country's political structure. The PML-N appears to be attempting to maintain a workable relationship with the existing power structure. The PPP has chosen confrontation on at least one major issue. And PTI is attempting to bring political pressure onto the streets. This combination makes September unusually important. The debate over new provinces may prove particularly difficult. Creating new provinces requires constitutional procedures and, more importantly, broad political consensus. A determined PPP opposition could significantly complicate any such effort. The PML-N alone may not be able to carry such a major constitutional project. And the wider political environment is hardly favourable for consensus. Pakistan is already dealing with economic pressures, political polarisation, regional instability and growing public distrust. A debate over provincial boundaries could add another layer of conflict. The creation of provinces is therefore not merely an administrative question. In Pakistan, it involves identity, language, ethnicity, political power and access to resources. Any attempt to redraw provincial boundaries could produce consequences far beyond parliament. The next few weeks will provide important answers. Will Zardari return quickly to Pakistan? Will his foreign stay become prolonged? Will the PPP intensify its confrontation over Sindh? Will Nawaz Sharif publicly clarify the PML-N's position? Will PTI successfully mobilise large numbers of people? Will Imran Khan's health situation further intensify political tensions? And most importantly, what will happen on September 27? PTI leaders have repeatedly insisted that preparations for the planned long march will continue. The party has described the movement as a struggle for legal, constitutional and political rights, while its leaders have also used increasingly strong political language. That creates the possibility of a politically explosive month. But Pakistan has seen similar moments before. Large political announcements do not always produce large political transformations. Sometimes negotiations occur behind closed doors. Sometimes pressure is reduced before a confrontation. And sometimes events take a completely unexpected direction. Pakistan is entering September with too many political questions and too few clear answers. Asif Ali Zardari is abroad, and speculation surrounds the duration and political meaning of his stay. The PPP has adopted an increasingly firm position against any division of Sindh. Nawaz Sharif and the PML-N appear to be carefully navigating their relationship with Pakistan's powerful establishment. PTI is preparing a nationwide political mobilisation culminating in its proposed September 27 long march. And Imran Khan remains at the centre of Pakistan's political storm. For now, it would be dangerous to treat speculation as fact. Claims about secret political deals, Zardari's alleged semi-exile, possible arrangments for Imran Khan's transfer abroad, or negotiations over the future of Pakistan's provinces remain largely unverified. But political speculation itself can become powerful. In Pakistan, rumours often influence political behaviour. Foreign travel can become a political signal. And an announced protest can change calculations even before a single protester reaches the streets. September 2026, therefore, may not necessarily produce an immediate political earthquake. But it could determine the direction of Pakistan's next political confrontation. The coming weeks will show whether Pakistan moves towards negotiation, constitutional restructuring and political accommodation or towards another cycle of confrontation between political parties, state institutions and the streets. One thing, however, is increasingly clear. Pakistan's politics is accelerating. And September may prove to be the month when the country's competing political forces finally reveal their cards.
