PM announces 100,000 free laptops for students PM says distribution of laptops will cover all four provinces and will be based purely on merit, without any nepotism

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced the distribution of 100,000 free laptops among talented students across the country on merit, during an International Youth Day event in Islamabad on Tuesday. Premier stated that the distribution of these laptops will cover all four provinces, the federal capital Islamabad, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Kashmir, and will be based purely on merit, without any nepotism. He added that these laptops would be separate from the scheme for laptops through interest-based loans. Referring to Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, the prime minister mentioned that Pakistan’s victory on May 10 against a numerically larger and more boastful enemy had instilled a new vigour in the entire nation. He urged the youth to build on the spirit of this achievement and work hard to bring honour to the country. Earlier, during the ceremony, Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Program, Rana Mashhood, said the government’s merit-based programs for youth had enabled talented and des...

Imran Khan Arrested in Al-Qadir Trust Case

The former prime minister and current chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, Imran Khan arrested on Tuesday in the Al-Qadir Trust case. According to reports, he was taken into custody outside the Islamabad High Court (IHC) after attending two hearings.

The case alleges that Imran Khan and his wife obtained billions of rupees from a real estate firm to legalize a laundered amount of Rs50 billion that was identified and returned to the country by the UK during the previous PTI government.

This is not the first time Imran Khan has faced legal troubles. In 2017, he was found guilty of not disclosing assets held overseas and was later cleared by the Supreme Court. In 2018, he was also accused of contempt of court for his comments about the judiciary.

Despite these challenges, Imran Khan has remained a popular figure in Pakistani politics. He rose to fame as a cricket player before entering politics in the 1990s. He founded the PTI in 1996 and has been its chairman since then.

The arrest of Imran Khan has sparked a debate in Pakistan. Supporters of the PTI claim that the arrest is politically motivated and an attempt to silence their party. Others argue that it is a necessary step to hold the country's leaders accountable for their actions.

The Al-Qadir Trust case is just one of many corruption cases that have been brought against Pakistani politicians in recent years. The government has vowed to crack down on corruption and improve transparency in the country's political system.

As the case against Imran Khan progresses, it remains to be seen how it will impact his political future and the future of the PTI party. The people of Pakistan will be watching closely to see how their leaders handle this latest challenge.
