Haval Pakistan Announces Good News About Car Prices

  While leading automakers such as Pak Suzuki and Kia have raised vehicle prices following the implementation of new taxes under the Federal Budget 2025–26, Sazgar Engineering has taken a different approach. In an official announcement, the company stated that it will absorb the cost of the newly introduced New Energy Vehicles (NEV) Adoption Levy. As a result, Haval vehicle prices will remain unchanged. This decision comes at a time when Pak Suzuki Motor Company and Kia Lucky Motors increased their prices, citing the increased sales tax rate and additional levies introduced in the new fiscal policy. Suzuki models like the Alto, Cultus, and Swift saw noticeable price hikes, while Kia increased rates across most of its popular vehicles, including Sportage and Picanto.

Remembering Tarek Fatah: The Progressive Voice on Islam and Pakistan

 


Renowned Pakistani columnist and author, Tarek Fatah, passed away today at the age of 73 after a long battle with cancer. Fatah was known for his outspoken and progressive views on Islam and his fiery stance on Pakistan. His daughter, Natasha Fatah, confirmed the news of his passing on social media.

Born in Pakistan in 1949, Fatah migrated to Canada in the early 1980s and became a prominent political activist, journalist, and television host. He was a prolific author, writing several books that tackled issues related to Islam, Pakistan, and the broader Muslim world.

Fatah's views on Islam were often considered controversial, as he advocated for a more progressive and modern interpretation of the religion. He was a strong critic of religious fundamentalism and extremism, and he believed that Islam needed to undergo significant reforms to address these issues. His progressive views often brought him into conflict with conservative elements within the Muslim community.

Fatah was also known for his fiery stance on Pakistan. He was a vocal critic of the country's political establishment and its military, and he believed that Pakistan was plagued by corruption, authoritarianism, and religious extremism. He frequently wrote about the need for Pakistan to embrace democracy, secularism, and human rights.

Despite his controversial views, Fatah was widely respected for his intellect and his commitment to social justice. He was a strong advocate for minority rights, including the rights of religious minorities and LGBTQ+ individuals. He also expressed his support for the BJP-led NDA government in India, which drew criticism from some quarters.

Fatah's passing is a significant loss for the world of journalism and progressive activism. His legacy will continue to inspire generations of journalists and activists who seek to challenge the status quo and promote a more just and equitable world.
