From Selected Leader to Dear Leader

The PPP’s Bilawal Bhutto Zardari expressed his opinion that PM Imran Khan’s speech to the UN General Assembly was “pre-selected”. According to Daily Jang (30 September 2019), he further called upon what he called the “Selected Leader” to not make people clap for him as the “Korean Leader” does (Selected Leader, Korean Leader ki tarah loogon se taalian na bajwaein).

After Bhutto

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, according to Daily Jang (30 September 2019), is of the view that if anyone won respect after Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, it was PM Imran Khan (Bhutto ke baad kisi ko izzat mili tou woh Imran Khan hein).

Triumph

On arrival in Pakistan after his trip to the UN General Assembly, PM Imran Khan, according to Daily Jang (30 September 2019) was given an enthusiastic welcome by party leaders and supporters. He thanked the Pakistani people and his wife Bushra Begum for their prayers, which enabled him to successfully present the case of the Kashmiri people.

Gangs of Karachi

It was reported by Daily Jang (01 October 2019) that authorities in Karachi busted a gang which lured its victims by claiming to sell US dollars at rates lower than those offered on the market, then robbed them at gunpoint while wearing fake uniforms of the Police and Rangers.

Support

On the issue of Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman’s upcoming protests against the government, according to Daily Dunya (05 October 2019), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari stated that his party was with the Maulana but that it differed on the dharna. Meanwhile, the report quoted Asif Ali Zardari as saying that they would remain friends with the Maulana and that their prayers would be with him.

Famous Five

Daily Express (05 October 2019) quoted Federal Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed as saying that if PM Imran Khan were to offer National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) to five people, the movements would end (5 loogon ko NRO de dein, tehreekein khatam ho jaein gi).

Not going anywhere

Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan, according to Daily Jang (02 October 2019), dismissed speculation about her imminent removal from that position, emphasizing that such a decision was the PM’s discretion. She further stated those who were running news targeting someone would still have to put up with her (meray saath guzara karna parrey ga). Moreover, she informed the media that PM Imran Khan told the cabinet that she worked 24 hours a day and that this was high praise for her performance.

Regulations

According to Daily Dunya (06 October 2019), JUI-F leaders ruled out any music or dancing at their planned dharna protest (hamaray dharnay mein koi nach gana nahin hoga).

Practical CM Buzdar

Commenting on the protests to be led by Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman, according to Daily Dunya (06 October 2019), Chief Minister of Punjab Usman Buzdar said that first the Maulana ought to proceed with the dharna, and then they would see (Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman dharnay ke liay aaein tou sahih, phir dekhein ge).

Amphibian Exports

It was reported by Daily Express (06 October 2019) that the Punjab Fisheries Department has proposed to the provincial cabinet that frogs and turtles be farmed. It was proposed that the farming of these creatures would provide a source of frogs for dissections and experiments in medical colleges and also a source of foreign exchange by exporting them to countries like China and Thailand.
