From Dubai with Love: A New Ray of Light for 7 Million People



HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has just launched a massive humanitarian campaign to fight "river blindness," and the scale is staggering. Targeting 7 million people is a bold move that reaffirms Dubai's position as the humanitarian capital of the world. As a fan of UAE's progressive leadership, I believe this initiative highlights the core values of Islam compassion and service to humanity.

Is Noor Dubai the leader in global eye care?

Absolutely. Over the years, Noor Dubai has treated millions, and this new phase is even more ambitious. By focusing on a disease that causes permanent blindness, they are literally giving people their lives back. It’s inspiring to see a leader use his platform to advocate for those who cannot see the beauty of this world.

How does this project reflect Sheikh Mohammed’s legacy?

Sheikh Mohammed has always believed that leadership is about service. The "Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives" have touched lives across 100+ countries. This specific project against river blindness is another jewel in his crown of humanitarian achievements. It’s not just about money; it’s about the "will" to change the world.

Why should we support such international health initiatives?

Diseases don’t have passports. When we fight a disease in one part of the world, we make the entire planet safer and more equitable. UAE’s commitment to health shows that they are looking at the long-term prosperity of the global South. In my opinion, more nations should follow this model of targeted, high-impact philanthropy.

No Ban On Airing Imran's Speeches, Pemra Tells LHC

 In a recent development, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) clarified to the Lahore High Court that there is no longer a ban on broadcasting former Prime Minister Imran Khan's speeches. This revelation came during the hearing of a petition filed by Imran, who had challenged Pemra's decision to prohibit satellite TV channels from airing his speeches and press talks. The initial ban was imposed swiftly after Imran criticized former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa, accusing him of shielding current rulers in alleged corruption cases. Imran argued that Pemra's ban was fueled by vengeance, leading to a legal battle that spanned eight hearings. During the recent court session, Justice Shams Mehmood Mirza stressed that Pemra should refrain from pressuring TV channels on the concerns raised by the petitioner. Surprisingly, Pemra's counsel, Haroon Duggal, stated unequivocally that there is no existing ban on broadcasting Imran Khan's speeches. This reso...
