Two New International Airports to Be Constructed in Pakistan

The Government of Pakistan has announced plans to construct two new international airports as part of its efforts to enhance the country's aviation infrastructure and boost economic growth. This initiative is expected to significantly improve connectivity and facilitate trade and tourism, aligning with the government's broader vision for development in the region. The first airport will be located in the city of Hyderabad, which has been identified as a key area for economic development.

Imran Khan urges PTI supporters to stand in solidarity with CJP Umar Ata Bandial


 Former Prime Minister and current chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has called on party workers and supporters to show their support for Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Umar Ata Bandial on May 6. In a special message on Wednesday, Khan highlighted the critical moment in Pakistan's history, with record levels of inflation and unemployment and a "mafia" seizing the country.

Khan accused the incumbent government of deliberately taking steps to destroy the Constitution and the Supreme Court, leading to a propaganda campaign being run against the CJP and SC judges. He urged the nation to come out and show their solidarity with the CJP on May 6.

The call for support comes amidst a series of high-profile cases that have put the CJP and the Supreme Court in the spotlight. Earlier this year, the CJP delivered a landmark ruling in the Senate election case, declaring that voting in the upcoming Senate election would be held through a secret ballot.

However, the government has challenged the ruling, with the Attorney General arguing that the Constitution did not allow for a secret ballot in Senate elections. This has led to a back and forth between the government and the judiciary, with the CJP and SC judges facing criticism and accusations of bias from government officials and supporters.

In his message, Imran Khan emphasized the need for the nation to stand together in support of the CJP and the judiciary. He stressed that the CJP and SC judges were upholding the Constitution and the rule of law, and that their independence was essential for a functioning democracy.

Khan's call for solidarity has been met with mixed reactions. While some have praised the move as a necessary step in protecting the independence of the judiciary, others have criticized it as a political stunt aimed at bolstering the PTI's support base.

Regardless of the motivations behind the call for support, it is clear that the CJP and the Supreme Court are facing unprecedented challenges to their independence and authority. As Pakistan navigates a turbulent political and economic landscape, it is more important than ever to ensure that the rule of law is upheld and that the judiciary is able to function independently and free from political interference.
