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.

Dr Yasmin Rashid Discharged in Lahore Corps Commander's Residence Vandalism Case, Yet to be Released in Other May 9 Riot Cases


 In a recent development, PTI leader Dr Yasmin Rashid has been discharged in the case pertaining to the vandalism at the Lahore Corps Commander's Residence, popularly known as Jinnah House. The Anti-Corruption Court (ATC) in Lahore rejected the police's request for her physical remand and discharged her from this specific case. However, she remains in custody as she awaits discharge in other cases related to the May 9 riots.

The protests and demonstrations on May 9 were a result of the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan by the paramilitary Rangers in a corruption case at the Islamabad High Court. The countrywide protests took a violent turn, leading to the vandalism of several private and public properties, including military installations.

Dr Yasmin Rashid's involvement in the Lahore Corps Commander's Residence vandalism case had been under investigation. However, the ATC's decision to discharge her from this particular case indicates a significant legal development. The court found the police's request for her physical remand unnecessary or insufficient to establish her direct involvement in the incident.

Nevertheless, Dr Yasmin Rashid's release is still pending, as she awaits discharge in other cases related to the May 9 riots. The investigations into these cases continue, and it is essential for due process to take its course to determine individual culpability accurately.

The arrest and subsequent actions against PTI leaders and supporters allegedly involved in the May 9 vandalism highlight the legal ramifications of such acts. The law enforcement agencies have been actively pursuing those responsible for the damage caused to both private and public properties during the protests.

As the legal proceedings unfold, it is crucial to ensure a fair and transparent investigation, providing every individual with the opportunity to present their case and establish their innocence or culpability. The discharge of Dr Yasmin Rashid in the Lahore Corps Commander's Residence case highlights the importance of thorough evaluation of evidence and adherence to legal procedures.

The ongoing legal developments surrounding the May 9 riots and subsequent vandalism cases serve as a reminder of the significance of upholding law and order in a democratic society. It is essential for all stakeholders involved, including law enforcement agencies, judiciary, and political leaders, to cooperate and work together to ensure justice is served and those responsible for the acts of vandalism are held accountable.
