    🐜 حضرت سلیمان علیہ السلام اور چیونٹی — سبق آموز واقعہ



    📖 تعارف
    حضرت سلیمان علیہ السلام اللہ کے وہ نبی ہیں جنہیں بے مثال حکمت، بادشاہت اور تمام مخلوقات کی زبان سمجھنے کا علم عطا کیا گیا تھا۔ ان کی زندگی میں بے شمار ایسے واقعات ہیں جو انسانیت کے لیے رہنمائی کا ذریعہ ہیں۔ انہی میں سے ایک واقعہ چیونٹیوں کے ساتھ پیش آنے والا ہے جو قرآنِ مجید میں سورۃ النمل میں بیان ہوا ہے۔
    🐜 واقعہ کیا تھا؟
    حضرت سلیمان علیہ السلام اپنے لشکر کے ساتھ ایک وادی سے گزر رہے تھے۔ اس دوران ایک چیونٹی نے اپنی قوم کو خطرہ محسوس کرتے ہوئے کہا:
    حضرت سلیمان علیہ السلام نے یہ بات سن لی اور مسکرا دیے۔ انہوں نے فوراً اللہ کا شکر ادا کیا کہ انہیں ایسی عظیم نعمت عطا کی گئی ہے جس سے وہ تمام مخلوقات کی بات سمجھ سکتے ہیں۔
    🌿 اس واقعے سے حاصل ہونے والے سبق
    ✔ اللہ تعالیٰ ہر چھوٹی بڑی مخلوق پر قدرت رکھتا ہے
    ✔ چیونٹی جیسی چھوٹی مخلوق بھی شعور اور سمجھ رکھتی ہے
    ✔ عاجزی اور شکر گزاری انسان کو بلند مقام عطا کرتی ہے
    ✔ ایک حقیقی رہنما وہ ہے جو اپنی مخلوق کی حفاظت کا خیال رکھے
    ✔ کائنات میں کوئی چیز بے مقصد نہیں
    ✨ خلاصہ
    یہ واقعہ ہمیں سکھاتا ہے کہ طاقت اور علم کے باوجود انسان کو عاجزی اختیار کرنی چاہیے اور اللہ کا شکر ادا کرنا چاہیے۔ حضرت سلیمان علیہ السلام کی زندگی ایمان، حکمت اور عدل کی بہترین مثال ہے۔

    میں پیدا ہونے والے مہاراجا بھوپندر سنگھ آف پٹیالہ نے 1938 ء میں وفات پائی تو اس کی پانچ بیویاں ، 88 اولادیں اور 350 سے زیادہ داشتائیں تھیں۔
    بھوپندر سنگھ مہاراجہ اعلیٰ سنگھ کی نسل میں سے تھا۔ اس خاندان کے سربراہ نے تاریخی ہیروں اور دیگر نایاب جواہرات پر مشتمل خزانہ چھوڑا تھا۔ اس نے ایک بڑی ریاست قائم کی تھی اور اپنی اولاد کو اقتدار دے گیا تھا۔
    مہاراجہ بھوپندر سنگھ بہت قابل انسان تھا۔ اس کے وزیر اور افسر نہایت لائق افراد تھے۔ ہندوستان کے ہر علاقے کا لائق ترین شخص چن کر اس کا وزیر بنایا گیا تھا۔ اس کے وزیر ساری زندگی اس کے وفادار رہے۔ آزاد ہندوستان کا سفیر برائے چین، مصر اور فرانس سردار کے ایم پانیکر اس کا بااعتماد وزیر خارجہ تھا۔ ایک سابق بھارتی وزیراعلیٰ کرنل رگھبیر سنگھ بھی پٹیالہ کا وزیر داخلہ رہ چکا تھا۔ نواب لیاقت حیات خان کئی سال پٹیالہ کا وزیراعظم رہا۔ قانون کا وزیر الٰہ آباد کا ممتاز وکیل ایم اے رائنا تھا۔ دیوان جرمنی داس زراعت، صنعت اور جنگلات کا وزیر ہونے کے علاوہ مہاراجا کی صحت کے امور کا انچارج تھا۔ بھوپندر سنگھ نے
    ریاست کا انتظام چلانے میں اپنی مدد کے لیے نہایت لائق افراد کو منتخب کیا تھا۔

    مہاراجا بھوپندر سنگھ کا باپ مہاراجہ سر راجندر سنگھ سی سی ایس آئی شراب نوشی کے ہاتھوں صرف 28 سال کی عمر میں مر گیا تھا۔ مہاراجا کے مشیر اس امر کا خا ص خیال رکھتے تھے کہ وہ اپنے باپ دادا کی طرح شراب کا عادی نہ ہو جائے۔ اسے ایک انگریز ٹیوٹر نے بچپن سے تعلیم و تربیت دی تھی۔ اس کے علاوہ اسے ہندو اور سکھ ٹیوٹر بھی تعلیم و تربیت دیا کرتے تھے۔ 18سال کی عمر میں وہ بہت سی خوبیوں کا مالک بن چکا تھا۔
    جب وہ بالغ ہوا تو اس کے درباریوں نے اسے عورت اور شراب کے مزے سے آشنا کروانا چاہا۔ تاہم مہاراجا ان تمام ترغیبات سے بچا رہا۔ چونکہ مہاراجا کے بگڑنے ہی میں درباریوں کا مفاد تھا اس لیے جلد ہی مہاراجا ان کی سازشوں کا شکار ہو گیا۔

     
    درباری ولن اسے نوجوان عورتوں کے ذریعے بھٹکانے کی کوشش کرتے رہے۔ وہ نوجوان تھا اس لیے ایسی 
    ترغیبات سے زیادہ عرصہ نہ بچ سکا۔ ان عورتوں کو ہندوستان کے مختلف علاقوں سے لایا جاتا تھا۔ وہ بہت کم عمر اور نہایت حسین ہوا کرتی تھیں۔ جب وہ مرا تو اس کے حرم میں تقریباً 322 عورتیں تھیں۔ ان میں سے صرف دس مہارانیاں تسلیم کی گئی تھیں، تقریباً پچاس کو رانی کہا جاتا جبکہ باقی سب کنیزیں تھیں۔ وہ سب مہاراجا کے اشارے کی منتظر رہتی تھیں۔ وہ دن یا رات کے کسی بھی لمحے ان کے ساتھ قربت اختیار کر سکتا تھا۔
    چھوٹی چھوٹی بچیوں کو محل میں لایا جاتا اور انہیں پالا پوسا جاتا یہاں تک کہ وہ بالغ ہو جاتیں۔ انہیں مہاراجا کی پسند کے مطابق تربیت دی جاتی تھی۔ محل میں شروع شروع میں ان لڑکیوں کا بہت خیال رکھا جاتا تھا۔ انہیں صرف مہاراجا کو سگریٹ اور شراب پیش کرنے یا دوسری خدمات ادا کرنے کا کہا جاتا تھا۔ مہارانیاں ان کو آغوش میں لیتی اور چومتی تھیں۔ پہلے وہ لڑکیاں محض کنیزیں ہوتی تھیں لیکن مہاراجا کو پسند آنے پر ان کا رتبہ بڑھتا جاتا یہاں تک کہ وہ اعلیٰ ترین رتبے پر پہنچ کر مہارانی کہلاتیں۔ جب مہاراجا کسی عورت کو مہارانی منتخب کر لیتا تو حکومت ہندوستان کو اس امر کی اطلاع دیتا اور حکومت اس عورت کو مہارانی تسلیم کر لیتی۔ اس کے بطن سے جنم لینے والے لڑکے کو مہاراجا کا جائز بیٹا تصور کیا جاتا اور اسے شہزادے کے حقوق دیے جاتے تھے۔

     
     مہارانیوں اور داشتاؤں میں اور بھی فرق تھے۔ مہارانیوں کو دوپہر اور رات کا کھانا اور چائے سونے کے برتنوں میں پیش کیے جاتے تھے۔ رانیوں کو چاندی کے برتنوں میں کھانا پیش کیا جاتا تھا۔ ان کو پچاس اقسام کے کھانے پیش کیے جاتے تھے۔ اعلیٰ تر رتبے کی آرزو مند دیگر عورتوں کو پیتل کے برتنوں میں کھانا پیش کیا جاتا تھا۔ ان کو بیس اقسام کے کھانے پیش کیے جاتے تھے۔ خود مہاراجا کو ہیرے جڑے سونے کے برتنوں میں کھانا پیش کیا جاتا تھا۔ اسے 150 سے زیادہ اقسام کے کھانے پیش کیے جاتے تھے۔
     

    مہاراجا ، مہارانیوں اور شہزادوں یا شہزادیوں کی سالگرہ پر عظیم الشان تقریبات برپاکی جاتیں۔ دو سو پچھتر یا تین سو مہمانوں کے لیے میز لگائی جاتیں۔ مردوں میں صرف مہاراجا، اس کے بیٹے، داماد اور چند خاص مدعوئین ہوتے جبکہ عورتوں میں صرف مہارانیاں اور محل کی چند منتخب عورتیں ہوتیں۔ ان تقریبات میں اطالوی، فرانسیسی اور انگریز بیرے اور خانساماں ہوتے تھے اور کھانے اور شرابیں نہایت مزیدار ہوتے۔ پکوانوں کو بڑی بڑی پلیٹوں میں لا کر اوپر تلے رکھ دیا جاتا۔ یہ ڈھیر کھانے والوں کے منہ تک پہنچ جاتا تھا۔ بعض اوقات دس سے بیس پلیٹوں تک کی قطاریں بن جاتی تھیں۔ کھانے کے بعد موسیقی کی محفل ہوتی، جس میں مختلف ریاستوں سے بلوائی گئیں رقاصائیں مہاراجا، مہارانیوں اور مہمانوں کا جی بہلاتیں۔ ایسی تقریبات صبح سویرے انجام کو پہنچتیں۔ اس وقت تک سب لوگ نشے میں دھت ہو چکے ہوتے تھے۔ یہ سلسلہ کئی سال جاری رہا۔ محل میں ایسی عورتیں بھی تھیں جنہیں یورپ، نیپال اور قبرص سے لایا گیا تھا۔ محل کی عورتوں نے ایسا لباس اور ہیرے جواہرات پہنے ہوتے تھے کہ دنیا میں ان کی مثال ملنا ناممکن تھی۔ تقریب کے اختتام پر مہاراجا عورتوں میں سے چند ایک کو منتخب کر لیتا اور انہیں لے کر اپنے محل میں چلا جاتا۔ یہ عورتیں مہاراجا کی توجہ حاصل کرنے کے لیے بہت سی ترکیبیں استعمال کرتی تھیں۔ مہاراجا کے دل میں ان سب کے لیے نرم گوشہ تھا۔ وہ روزانہ اپنے معائنے کے لیے آنے والے ڈاکٹروں کو اپنی بیماریوں کے بارے میں بتاتی تھی۔

     
    یہ عورتیں بعض اوقات مہاراجا کی محبت اور فرقت میں خودکشی کرنے کی دھمکی دیتیں۔ سچ تو یہ ہے کہ ان میں سے  چند ایک نے کمرے کی چھت سے رسی باندھ کر اس کے ذریعے خودکشی کی کوشش بھی تھی۔ جب کوئی عورت تنہائی کا شکوہ کرتی تو مہاراجا خوفزدہ ہو جاتا۔ عموماً وہ اس سے ملتا اور ہر ممکن طریقے سے اسے دلاسا دینے کی کوشش کرتا۔ مہاراجا کے حرم میں ایسی بدنصیب عورتیں بھی تھیں جنہیں زندگی میں ایک مرتبہ بھی مہاراجا سے ہم آغوش ہونے کا موقع نہیں ملا تھا۔ مہاراجا کو اپنی ساری مہارانیوں، رانیوں اور دیگر عورتوں سے محبت تھی اور وہ سب کے ساتھ برابر کا محبت بھرا سلوک روا رکھنے کی کوشش کرتا تھا۔ عورتیں بھی جواباً اسے اپنا واحد مرد مانتی تھیں۔

    وہ جب بھی یورپ جاتا کم از کم ایک درجن عورتوں کواپنے ساتھ لے کر جاتا تھا۔ ہندوستان سے باہر ان مہارانی، رانی اور کنیز والی تفریق ختم ہو جاتی۔ ان کے کھانوں، کپڑوں اور رہائش میں کوئی فرق نہ رہتا۔ موتی باغ محل کا پروٹوکول پیرس اور لندن میں ایک طرف رکھ دیا جاتا تھا۔
    مہارانیاں اور دوسری عورتیں موتی باغ کہلانے والے بڑے محل کے عقب میں واقع مختلف محلات میں رہتی تھیں۔ موتی باغ محل مہاراجا کی رہائش گاہ تھا۔ باہر سے کسی شخص کا محل کے ان اندرونی حصوں میں داخل ہونا انتہائی مشکل تھا۔ اگر کوئی شخص موتی باغ محل میں داخل ہونا چاہتا تو پہلے اسے تقریباً آدھا میل لمبا باغ عبور کرنا پڑتا، پھراسے بے شمار کمروں اور متعدد ہال کمروں سے گزرنا پڑتا۔ محل میں ہر بیس قدم کے فاصلے پر فوجی گارڈ موجود ہوتے۔ ان سب مراحل سے گزرنے کے بعد وہ شخص ایک چھوٹے گیٹ تک پہنچتا، جہاں سے داخلی محلات میں پہنچا جا سکتا تھا۔ اندرونی محل میں مہاراجا  سے ملنے کے لیے آنے والوں کو شفاف اور قیمتی ریشمی لباس میں ملبوس اور ہیرے جواہرات سے لدی پھندی نہایت حسین و جمیل عورتیں مہاراجا کے خصوصی احکامات کی تعمیل میں مسکراہٹوں سے نوازتیں اور شراب پیش کرتیں۔ پنجابی لباس میں ملبوس چند عورتیں مہمانوں کو سگریٹ پیش کرتیں جبکہ ساڑھی میں ملبوس چند دیگر عورتیں شراب اور پھل پیش کرتیں۔ پٹیالہ کے دربار کی شان و شوکت کے سامنے الف لیلوی شان و شوکت ماند تھی۔
    مہاراجا اپنی عورتوں سے حسد نہیں کرتا تھا اور اپنے مہمانوں کو ان سے گھلنے ملنے کی اجازت دے دیتا تھا۔ تاہم وہ گھٹیا پن اور بدتمیزی کو ذرا بھی برداشت نہیں کرتا تھا۔ مہاراجا کے پیروں میں درجنوں عورتیں پڑی رہتی تھیں۔ چند عورتیں اس کی ٹانگیں دبا رہی ہوتیں اور چند عورتیں پیغامات ادھر سے ادھر پہنچا رہی ہوتیں۔ مہاراجا کی پسندیدہ عورت اس کی دیوی ہوتی اور سب کی نگاہیں اس پر جمی ہوتیں۔ عموماً وہ مہاراجا کے گھٹنے کے پاس بیٹھی ہوتی۔ اس نے نہایت خوبصورت سرخ رنگ کا شفاف لباس پہنا ہوتا، ناک میں سونے کا کوکا، گلے میں موتیوں کا ہار اور کلائیوں میں ہیروں کے کنگن ڈالے ہوتے۔ حرم کی عیاشانہ زندگی اور ہمسایہ ریاستوں اور ہندوستان کے وائسرائے کے ساتھ چپقلشوں کی وجہ سے مہاراجا کو ہائی بلڈ پریشر کا عارضہ لاحق ہو گیا۔ فرانس کے مشہور ڈاکٹروں پروفیسر ابرامی اور ڈاکٹر آندرے سے لچوٹز نے ریڑھ کی ہڈی میں انجکشن لگا کر بلڈ پریشر کو گھٹانے کا نیا طریقہ دریافت کیا تھا۔ مہاراجا نے انہیں فرانس سے پٹیالہ بلوا لیا۔ مہاراجا علاج کے لیے یورپ بھی گیا لیکن بلڈ پریشر کنٹرول نہ ہو سکا، جس کا خاص سبب یہ تھا کہ اس نے ڈاکٹروں کی ہدایت کے برعکس عورتوں اور شراب کو نہیں چھوڑا۔ مہاراجہ صرف 47 برس کی عمر میں چل بسا۔

    Facebook keeps on updating its social website with interesting features which sometimes turn into annoying ones.
    But this time Facebook has got an update which we all were long waiting for.
    Can you guess? It's the sweet reaction GIF which has finally got its place on Facebook.


    After a months-long test of the feature, Facebook has announced that it's finally rolling out support for GIFs in Facebook comments.



    Interesting! Isn't it?

    From today, anyone can add a GIF to a Facebook comment using a new GIF button that appears alongside the emoji picker.
    Much like the GIF button in Facebook Messenger, the new GIF comments are sourced from Facebook's GIF partners, including Giphy, Tenor, and Disney.
    But, wait. There are also a few limitations. 
    Though you can search for GIFs using the feature's built-in search, adding a specific GIF you have in mind may be a bit more difficult. You can't upload your own GIFs or post GIFs via a URL like you can with a normal Facebook post.
    Facebook users exchanged nearly 13 billion GIFs on Messenger in 2016 alone, according to the company, which works out to about 25,000 GIFs each minute.

    Town Visitors

    Note: this page is about characters visiting the town, not to be confused with farm visitors.
     
    Town visitors are non-player characters (NPCs) who automatically visit the player's town in order to purchase services in service buildings.
    They arrive by either the EGGspress train (which comes every 6 hours) or the personal train (which can be sent to neighbors' towns by the player).
    They are unlocked at experience level 34.
     
       
    Visitors
    10 different characters come to visit towns:The ActressThe Actress
    The Actress The Cowboy The Dancer The Grand Master  
     
     
     
     
    The Lady  
    The Local The Salesman The Mechanic    
    The Teacher  
     
     
    The Strongman  
     
      Multiple iterations of a visitor can be in a given town at one time.
     
    The visitors are assigned random names by the game. These names change every time the visitors come to the town. However, visitors picked up from a neighbor's town with the Personal Train retain their names from the previous town.
     
    The number of visitors who can go into the player's town is determined by the level of the Town Hall, which can be upgraded to a maximum of 42 by using Stone Blocks, Hammers & Paint Buckets.
     
     
    Sending visitors to service buildings
     
    To serve a visitor, players need to send them to one of the buildings they wish to go to. There are two ways to do so:
     
    tap on the visitor then send them to one of the buildings. tap on the Town Hall, select the Idle tab, tap on the desired visitor, and on See Visitor, and then tap on the building the player wishes to send the visitor.  
     
    Serving visitors
     
    Once a visitor is sent to a building, players can give the visitor the items they have requested, or reject them by using the toggle icon. This sends the rejected visitor back to the train station (the latter can only be done once the player has reached reputation level 3). A rejected visitor waits on the train platform to be picked up by the EGGspress train or a neighbor's Personal Train.
     
    Alternatively, a visitor can be served or rejected by going through the Town Hall under the Waiting Tab.
     
    If players do not have some of the items, the visitor can wait in the building forever.
     
    Visitors cannot be served until the player has all of the items they want in stock.
     
     
    Waiting time
     
    Once a visitor has been served, service time begins. The time it takes to serve each visitor varies depending on the service building. During this time, it is not possible to send the visitor away without using diamonds.
     
    To speed up the service time, players can upgrade the service building, and then upgrade the service time (see Service Buildings for details). The minimum length of the service time is dependent on the service building level.
     
     
    Rewards
     
    After the service time is complete, the visitor will be standing outside the building, and waiting to give the player rewards.
     
    There are three ways to receive these rewards:
     
    tap on the visitor, tap on the building where he/she had been served, or go to the Town Hall, select the Ready tab, tap on the visitor you wish to release, and select Collect Reward  
    Rewards are a combination of coins, experience points, and reputation points. The amounts of rewards can be raised by upgrading the buildings (see Service Buildings for details).
     
     
    Gifts
     
     
    If a visitor has visited all of the service buildings they wanted to go to, and been served in all of them, they will present the player with a gift. The gift can be any kind of supply item.
     
    Visitors with a paw print next to the list of buildings they wish to visit will want to see a certain sanctuary animal at the end of their visit. If players serve them fully and have the specified animal in their sanctuary, the visitor goes watch the animal for a short while, makes a comment (shown briefly in a bubble over his head), then leaves an extra gift next to the book stand. The gift can be coins, a voucher or a supply item.
     
    They will then go back to the train station.
     
    Only visitors brought to the town on the Eggspress Train may be interested in seeing the sanctuary. Rejected visitors without being fully served will go directly to the Train Station.
     
       
     
    Keeping track of visitors
     
     
    Main article: Town Hall
     
    Players can keep track of visitors by tapping on the Town Hall. This tells them where each visitor is, what their status is, what building they have already visited, how many and which visitors standing on the platform are ready to go home (having already visited 2 towns) or ready to be picked up by the Personal Train of a neighbor.
     
       
     
    Keeping track of orders
     
     
    The order board located next to the farm train station sums up orders from visitors who are waiting in buildings.
     
       
     
    Picking up visitors from neighboring towns
     
     
    Main article: Personal Train
     
    At reputation level 4 players can repair the personal train to pick up visitors from neighboring towns.
     
    Visitors picked up from other towns only ask to visit one service building. Picking up a visitor from a neighbor's town rewards this neighbor with one reputation point. When these visitors have been served, they will present the gift and ready to go home and cannot be picked up by a neighbor.
     
    The Personal Train can be upgraded to pick up a maximum of 10 visitors from a neighbor or upgraded to shorten the maintenance time to a minimum of 1.5 hours.
     
       
     
    Strategy tips
     
    If your main goal is to get gifts, send away visitors who want to go to three different buildings and prioritize two-building visitors or, even better, visitors from neighboring towns (brought in by the Personal train) as they only visit one building. At the Town Hall, under the Idle tab, you have the option of serving only the ones you wish to serve and at the bottom, you can tap on Send All Away to reject the rest. Sending visitors to a building through the Town Hall has the advantage of not releasing visitors who are already served and waiting at the front of the building. This is useful to know when the player is preparing for a Town Visitor derby task and not ready to release certain served visitors. Note that those served no longer occupy a space in the building and more visitors can be placed into the building. However, if they are not released, they still occupy a space in town and could limit how many visitors the next Eggspress Train or Personal Train can bring into town. If the player is doing a Specific Visitor derby task and need to release only certain visitors, it is best done through Town Hall. Go to the Ready tab, select the desired visitor and tap on Collect Reward. If you tap on See Visitor, you will be sent to the building and it would be difficult to release ONLY the visitor you want to release. For town at reputation level below 3, you aren't allowed to send visitors away. If you can't make the items they request yet try buying them from other players' farms or requesting them from your neighbors.  
     
    Did you know?
     
     
    The Grand Master is a reference to Mister Miyagi from the movie The Karate Kid. In the movie, there is a famous scene where Mr. Miyagi explains that a man who can catch a fly with chopsticks can accomplish anything. The reference can be seen in Hay Day when the Grand Master stops walking, sees a fly and quickly catches it with his chopsticks.

    RIYADH: A Saudi prince was arrested Thursday on King Salman´s order, a state-run broadcaster reported, as outrage grew on social media over videos appearing to show him abusing members of the public.
    Salman issued a warrant for "the immediate arrest ... and imprisonment" of Prince Saud, a descendent of Saudi Arabia´s founder, along with a group of men who appeared in the videos uploaded to YouTube, Al-Ikhbariya television reported.
    A video circulating on social media showed police escorting the young prince - one of the thousands of members of the royal family - out of a house in handcuffs.
    The arrest came after the prince, whose face can clearly be seen in some of the videos shared via Twitter Wednesday, unleashed a wave of verbal and physical abuse on Saudis and foreigners.
    "You park by my house, you ... eunuch," he says to a dazed driver bleeding from the mouth, his clothes splattered with blood.
    "Do you understand?" he asks the man, who nods and turns away.
    In another video, a man moaning and clutching his head is led out of a house with an automatic rifle pointed at his back.
    The prince also pummels a man cowering in a chair who waits for him to pause and insists, "Honest to God, I didn´t do anything. I swear to God."
    The videos have sparked anger on social media, with users identifying as Saudi citizens calling for the prince to be put on trial.
    "No matter who you are -- prince, minister, citizen -- no one is above the law," read one tweet.
    The victims in the videos will be called to testify in court, according to a royal decree carried by Al-Ikhbariya.
    Saudi Arabia has one of the world´s highest rates of execution and widely imposes harsh sentences for criminal offences.
    In a highly unusual case, the kingdom last year executed a prince convicted of murder.

    LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif said on Thursday that if guiding the country towards progress and saving billions is a crime, he will gladly serve any punishment and serving the people is his mission.

    Speaking at a conference, the chief minister further said that while opponents may try and create havoc in the country, he will continue serving the people of Punjab.
    ?The people will not support those hindering the country?s progress and the people will hold them accountable,? said the chief minister.
    Earlier, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif hit out at his political opponents on, saying no one will accept accountability led by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
    Addressing a public gathering after the inauguration of the Lowari Tunnel, the premier said, ?I want to tell the JIT, PTI and other politicians that no one will accept accountability from you. This is not accountability but exploitation. I can guarantee no one in Pakistan will accept this.?
    The premier also hit out at the JIT members, saying they act "as if they are 'Sadiq' and 'Amin' like angels."
    "There is no taint of corruption on us. This drama should stop. Do not test my patience anymore," Sharif warned.
    The circus of sit-ins was started as soon as we came to power, said the premier, referring to the 2014 dharna [sit-in] by the PTI and Pakistan Awami Tehreek outside Parliament. "They attacked the PTV building, PM House and Parliament. But we didn?t bow down in front of those fomenting unrest and chaos and will never do."
    "They wake up every morning and beg for my resignation. They should be ashamed of themselves," he said.

    ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairperson Imran Khan on Thursday said that the PTI is not asking for the premier's resignation as he will be soon behind bars. 
    "We are not asking for Nawaz Sharif's resignation, he will soon be behind bars as his room is being prepared in Adiala jail," said the PTI chairman. 
    Imran questioned the reasoning behind 'threats' from the prime minister and said the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) was made to facilitate Nawaz Sharif by enabling him to clarify his name and provide proof.

    Opening batsman Tom Westley will make his Test debut against South Africa at the Oval for the third test, as England named a 13-man squad on Thursday.

    Gary Ballance has been ruled out of the third Test following a fracture at his left index finger, Westley has been told he will get Ballance?s spot in the side,
    Meanwhile, another batsman, Dawid Malan?s debut is hinging on whether England opts to play the extra batsman.
    Westley, has been a heavy domestic run-scorer at Essex over the past three seasons, is a right-hander and would thus break up England?s left-hand dominated lineup.
    The 28-year-old already boasts a first-class century against South Africa from No3 this summer, in this unbeaten 106 for the Lions at New Road.
    While, Malan, the Middlesex left-hander, has averaged in the mid-40s over the past four Championship seasons and impressed Bayliss when making his Twenty20 debut against South Africa in June and striking a 48-ball 78 against an attack that included two of South Africa?s Test attack in Morne Morkel and Chris Morris.
    Bowling-wise, England have stuck with the same players from the first two Tests although Toby Roland-Jones, the Middlesex right-armer, could make his debut in place of Mark Wood, who has one wicket across four innings and faded a touch at Trent Bridge.
    Earlier, former captain Kevin Pietersen criticised England´s top-order batsmen after South Africa won by a massive 340 runs against home side at Nottingham to square the series
    "They picked a poor test-match team," Pietersen told Sky Sports. "I know they won at Lord´s but that was the brilliance of Joe Root. There´s individuals that are brilliant, but the collective don´t fire as much as they should and there are some holes in that batting order."
    Root, who replaced Alastair Cook as England´s Test captain, scored a splendid 190 to set up England´s win.
    "You cannot have a top three that bat as the top three bat or has poor technique, you cannot have that," said the 37-year-old Pietersen, who played 104 tests for England.

    A British Muslim MP, Afzal Khan believes his election following the Manchester bombing sends a "powerful message" to those terrorists and bigots attempting to divide society.
    Khan won the election on a Labour ticket and praised the people of his home city for responding with solidarity, compassion and the "determination" to defeat those who threaten their way of life.
    Suicide bomber Salman Abedi targeted Manchester Arena after a concert by US pop star Ariana Grande, killing 22 people and injuring dozens more.
    Khan recalled the events of May 22 while making his maiden speech in the Commons.
    He also spoke of his life before entering Parliament and about his police officer.
    Addressing the House of Commons, Khan said: "In May, the city I love was the victim of a terrible attack - 22 adults and children were killed and over 100 people injured attending a concert at Manchester Arena".
    "It was an act of pure evil. Faced with this tragedy, the people of Manchester responded in the only way they know how - with solidarity, with compassion, and with the determination that those who seek to endanger our way of life will not succeed."
    The MP added that the attack in the arena led to an increase in hate crimes and termed the development unfortunate. 
    "Yet, just a few weeks later, the people of Manchester elected me, a Muslim. 
    "I cannot think of a more powerful message to the terrorists and bigots that their attempts to divide us will never succeed."

    Later in his speech, Khan said his journey to Parliament was "not the typical one".
    Khan added that he was born in Pakistan and came to the UK when he was adopted out of poverty as a child. 
    "Since then, Manchester has been my home for nearly 40 years. I often tell people while I was born in Pakistan, I was made in Manchester.
    "I left school with no qualifications and at 16 went straight to work as a labourer in a cotton mill.
    "Later, I became a bus driver and then a police officer," the Labour MP said.

    Minister for Information and Broadcast Marriyum Aurangzeb pictured outside the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Thursday.   ISLAMABAD: The Minister for Information and Broadcast Marriyum Aurangzeb on Thursday alleged that political opponents used the Panama Leaks case as a political crutch to further their own agendas.
    ?This case was all about lust for power and lies,? Aurangzeb said. ?Nawaz Sharif is not linked to any corruption case and he will fight for the nation's vote till the very last moment.?

    ?None of the allegations leveled against the Prime Minister were proven in court through evidence,? Aurangzeb said.
    She emphasized that efforts were being made every day to find evidence against the PM but to no avail.
    ?We are hopeful that the court will dismiss petitions filed by those who just want to create a circus,? the minister said.
    Lashing out at Pakisan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan, Aurangzeb said she had serious doubts about the former cricketer turned politician?s mental balance.

    ?He tries to mislead the Pakistani nation every day,? she said. ?[Khan] is the one who took help from the Jewish and Indian lobby to obtain funding for PTI.?
    The minister reiterated that there was no proof of corruption against Shehbaz Sharif in any public project, adding that the Sharif family presented records as old as 50 years to clear its name from ?false allegations?.
    ?The Pakistani nation and Supreme Court will dismiss those insulting the court and institutions,? she said, claiming that all documents presented by the Sharif family were verified.

    PPP leaders addressing the media on July 20, 2017. Photo: Geo News ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party?s (PPP) senior leader Sherry Rehman regretted on Thursday that the prime minister and his family are attempting to delay the Panama Papers case.
    Addressing the media alongside other party leaders after the Supreme Court hearing, Sherry said it is sad how ?they want to drag the case and send the case to the trial court so it can be delayed further?.
    The PPP leader said since a year judges have been asking about a money trail but it is yet to be provided to their satisfaction. ?Today, Maryam?s counsel accepted she is the beneficial owner of offshore companies,? she said, adding that it is tragic that they [Sharifs] have no credible defence nor are trying to put one up.

    Thursday's hearing
    On Thursday, the Supreme Court?s Panama case implementation bench observed that prima facie, the case relates to submission of forged documents.
    This was the fourth consecutive hearing of the three-member bench, headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan and comprising Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed and Justice Ijazul Ahsan, following the submission of the Joint Investigation Team?s (JIT) final probe report into the Sharif family?s businesses.
    During the hearing, Justice Ijaz remarked that there is a seven-year imprisonment term for those who submit false documents in court.
    Throughout Thursday?s hearing, the members of the bench remarked at different times the absence of any money trail with regards to the Sharif family's London properties as well as the Azizia Steel Mills in Jeddah.
    Justice Ejaz observed that in case the ownership and money trail of the London properties is not proved by the premier?s children, they will question the public office holder.
    During the hearing, the counsel for the premier's children, Salman Akram Raja also submitted a 17-page petition listing objections on the JIT report, pleading for dismissal of the report and its 'evidence'.
    Justice Ijaz observed that producing the Qatari prince before the JIT was Hussain?s responsibility as the sheikh was his star witness.
    Earlier this week, the bench heard arguments of the petitioners over the JIT report, submitted on July 10, and is now hearing the replies of the respondents.

    File photo: AFP SYDNEY: The painstaking search for missing flight MH370 has uncovered a previously unknown undersea world of volcanoes, deep valleys and soaring ridges, according to detailed maps released by Australia.
    Although no trace of the Malaysia Airlines plane was found during the search in the southern Indian Ocean -- the most expensive ever of its kind -- large volumes of data showing a detailed picture of the sea floor had to be collected to guide the probe.
    Scientists are hopeful the new maps will give their community greater insight into oceans.
    "It is estimated that only 10 to 15 percent of the world´s oceans have been surveyed with the kind of technology used in the search for MH370," Geoscience Australia´s environmental geoscience chief Stuart Minchin said late Wednesday.
    "(That makes) this remote part of the Indian Ocean among the most thoroughly mapped regions of the deep ocean on the planet.
    "So this data is unique both because of the remote location of the search area, and because of the sheer scale of the area surveyed."
    Minchin said the maps would also be useful for future scientific research, such as oceanographic and habitat modelling.


    Australia, Malaysia and China suspended the deep sea hunt in January, almost three years after the Boeing 777 disappeared with 239 people on board.

    The hunt -- based on satellite analysis of the jet´s likely trajectory after it diverted from its flight path -- covered a 120,000 square-kilometre (46,000 square mile) designated zone, an area slightly smaller than England.
    Two shipwrecks were discovered during the search but no trace of the plane, deepening one the most enduring mysteries of the aviation age.
    However, the data revealed ridges six kilometres (3.73 miles) wide and 15 kilometres long that rise 1,500 metres above the sea floor, as well as fault valleys 1,200 metres deep and five kilometres wide.
    A second set of data will be released in mid-2018.
    While the search for the missing plane has been called off, Canberra has said it could be restarted if new evidence about the specific location of the aircraft emerges.
    "We remain hopeful that new information will come to light and that at some point in the future the aircraft will be located," Australia´s Transport Minister Darren Chester said.
    Australia´s national science body CSIRO released a report in April confirming that MH370 was "most likely" north of the former search zone.
    Three fragments from the plane have been recovered washed up on western Indian Ocean shores, including a two-metre wing part known as a flaperon found on La Reunion island.
    Speculation on the cause of the plane´s disappearance has focused primarily on possible hijacking, rogue pilot action or mechanical failure, but nothing has yet been proved.

    The wreckage of a bus lies in a gorge following an accident near the Indian town of Rampur/AFP SHIMLA: At least 28 people were killed Thursday after a bus plunged into a deep gorge in a Himalayan region of northern India popular with tourists, police said.
    The accident occurred around 100 kilometres (62 miles) from the hill resort of Shimla in Himachal Pradesh state, said police superintendent Soumiya Sambasivan.
    "28 people have died and seven are injured. All the bodies have been identified," she said.
    The bus was taking around 40 people from Kinnaur district towards Solan when it rolled roughly 200 metres down a gorge to the banks of a river river.
    Images from the scene showed emergency workers conducting a rescue operation with the help of local volunteers.
    Last week, 16 pilgrims died in a bus crash in neighbouring Jammu and Kashmir state, while in April 44 people were killed in Himachal Pradesh in a similar accident.
    India has some of the world´s highest traffic fatalities with more than 150,000 deaths annually due to poor roads, badly maintained vehicles and reckless driving.

    Naeemul Haque addressing media in Islamabad  ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Naeemul Haque has called upon the National Assembly to ?get ready to elect a new Prime Minister?.
    Addressing media on Thursday, Haque alleged the Prime Minister produced fraudulent documents before the Supreme Court.
    ?The Prime Minister produced fake documents in the court. The PM House is the centre of all fraud,? he said, adding that the Sharifs were providing the apex court with fake info in order to make the JIT report controversial.
    ?The Supreme Court has no option but to disqualify Nawaz Sharif under Articles 62 and 63,? he said. ?NA should get ready to elect a new Prime Minister.?
    Pointing to ?discrepancies in the Sharifs? documents?, Haque said the PM?s date of birth records in Dubai and Pakistan documents did not match.
    Sharifs presenting fraudulent documents before SC: Imran
    Khan says the biggest crime was to treat the nation as dumb and with such contempt
    Earlier today PTI chairman Imran Khan tweeted that another emerging crime of the Sharifs was producing fraudulent documents before the Supreme Court to obstruct justice.
    Khan further said the biggest crime was to treat the nation as dumb and with contempt.
    The Supreme Court?s special implementation bench continued hearing of the Panama case for the fourth day today. Advocate Salman Akram Raja, the counsel for the PM?s children Maryam, Hussain and Hasan, prayed the court to dismiss the JIT report as well as the three constitutional petitions in the Panama Papers case.
