LAHORE: Speaker National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq on Thursday said that the official matters are not carried out through tweets — in a reference to the matter of Dawn Leaks — adding that the issue needs to be resolved instead of making it more complicated. The NA speaker was addressing party workers in Lahore. He said that whatever transpired regarding the issue of Dawn Leaks was inappropriate. The assembly would complete its tenure and the elections would be held on time, he said. Referring to the Pakistan Peoples Party protest campaign in Lahore, he said that loadshedding has been reduced and the power projects are quickly reaching completion. “There’s a huge difference between today’s Pakistan and that of 2013,” said Sadiq. He said that Imran Khan and Asif Zardari holding rallies is not a new thing as it’s a part of the election campaign. “The next elections would be based on performance,” said the NA speaker. Earlier, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had approved the recommendations of the Inquiry committee made to probe the Dawn Leaks, ordering the withdrawal of Fatemi's portfolio and sanctioning Rao Tehseen Ali, the principal information officer at the Information Ministry. The PM also ordered that the editor of Dawn Newspaper, Zaffar Abbas, and reporter Cyril Almeida would be referred to the All Pakistan Newspaper Association (APNS) “for necessary disciplinary action.” The DG ISPR shortly after the PM's order, had tweeted that the Pakistan Army rejected the government's notification, saying it was "incomplete and not in line with recommendations by the Inquiry Board." The English-language daily, Dawn, had published the story on October 6, last year, in which journalist Cyril Almeida had written about an alleged civil-military rift during a National Security Committee (NSC) meeting over the issue of tackling jihadi outfits.

After months of incompetent and disappointing results, these testing times for Arsene Wenger have now reached a boiling point following Arsenal's shambolic loss in the Champions League, Round of 16 clash on 8th March. The Premier League giants crashed out of Europe's biggest club tournament with a humiliating 10-2 (on aggregate) drubbing at the hands of a ruthless Bayern Munich at the Emirates stadium. It's the seventh year in a row that the Gunners have been knocked out at this stage in the tournament. Amongst those exits, Bayern have accounted for three and Arsenal, to put it bluntly, must be sick of the sight of them. The 10-2 scoreline (on aggregate) is not just a defeat; it is sheer embarrassment on a stage where there is no hiding for Wenger and his compatriots. Arsenal, making history, not reliving it. https://t.co/4P3Gmkfq8M — Chelsea Rumours (@ChelseaRumours) March 7, 2017 It was Arsenal's heaviest defeat at the Emirates since it opened for business in 2006 and the worst result, over two legs, for any English club at this level - and perhaps the most demoralising part for Arsenal fans is that it did not even seem like a surprise. Well, in case you missed the clash, here's Arsenal's forgetful night in tweets: Unforgettable 10-2 Score line © Twitter After inflicting the heaviest aggregate defeat on an English side in Champions League history, Bayern Munich rolled out their final insult to Arsenal on Twitter.
