15^th September 2023 News Headlines

A summary of today's important and breaking news regarding PTI and the country that the mainstream media of Pakistan will never show you.

1. The Supreme Court today, presided over by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial while passing the judgement on lmran Khan’s request against the NAB amendments, has made the PDM government's NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance) plan unsuccessful. By accepting Imran Khan's request, PDM’s leadership and all corrupt elements holding public positions involved in corruption and money laundering cases have been reinstated. Imran Khan had already pledged not to benefit from these NAB amendments.
2. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, showing courage, determination, and resilience, has set an example of continuous perseverance during his 41-day imprisonment in a small cell of Attock Jail. Imran Khan is continuously being denied justice. First in the Toshakhana case, and now in the Cypher case, delaying tactics and biased judges are being used, but despite this, Imran Khan and his lawyers continue their legal battle. The lawyers have submitted a new request to the court by resolving the objections of the Islamabad High Court, and a hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday. The lawyers are hopeful that justice will be served.
3. On the request of Chairman Imran Khan's lawyers, Special Court Judge Zulqarnain Abul Hasnaat had given instructions to the Superintendent of Attock Jail that they arrange a telephonic conversation between Imran Khan and his sons. However, today, once again, the jail superintendent while submitting an answer to the court, categorically stated that he [jail superintendent] denied the request. The Special Court has issued a show cause notice previously as well, on the contempt of court, to the jail superintendent.
4. While speaking on the Youtube program, “The Daily Talk Show”, Secretary Information of Tehreek-e-Insaf, Raoof Hassan, stated, “While these judges are present, justice will not be served, we will have to take to the streets and peacefully protest. Institutions should think about where they have brought the country. People are becoming disillusioned; people are losing faith in their own institutions. Fear from the moment when these people are no longer under Imran Khan's control. If people come out on the streets without following any national leader, the situation will no longer be under anyone's control. It is with great regret that we have not learned anything. We have not learned even after losing half the country, as Faiz Ahmed Faiz said: This is the funeral time. Chairman Imran Khan is not being given justice from the courts. Tehreek-e-Insaf will need to soon announce a political movement against this illegality prevailing in the country."
5. The Central President of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and former Prime Minister of Punjab, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, has been granted bail by the court multiple times, but every time, he is rearrested in a new fabricated case. Once again, the court has granted bail to Pervaiz Elahi in the Judicial Complex Attack case, but he has not yet been released. The status of judicial decisions in the country has completely ended.
6. The Anti-Terrorism Court in Lahore is setting a new standard of justice. Senator Ejaz Chaudhry's judicial remand was completed today, presented before the court, but the police could not submit the challan.  The punishment for this was given to Ejaz Chaudhry by extending his judicial remand until September 27.
7. Thousands of other workers and leaders associated with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) are also facing similar kind of fascism, for the past 125 days.
8. Deviant member of Tehreek-e-Insaf, Mahmood Moulvi, revealed in an interview, "The U.S. ambassador told me, 'After saying absolutely not, now Imran Khan will not survive.' From day one, Imran Khan has been telling the nation that the vote of no-confidence against him was an American conspiracy. The evidence of this is now coming to light through the Cypher story and Mahmood Moulvi's statements."
9. The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has prepared a summary for an increase in petroleum product prices for the next fifteen days. OGRA has recommended an increase of up to Rs. 17 per litre in petrol prices from September 15 to September 30. Similarly, OGRA has recommended an increase of Rs. 24 per litre in diesel prices. OGRA sources say that there could also be an increase in levy prices in petrol and diesel.
10. In the first two months of the current fiscal year, a record decrease of 18.56% on an annual basis has been recorded in the sale of motorcycles and three-wheelers in the country. According to the figures of the “All Pakistan Motorcycle Manufacturers Association”, in July and August, the sale of motorcycles and three-wheelers in the country reached 161,000 units, which is 18.56% less than the same period of the previous fiscal year.
11. Even before the increase in petrol and dollar prices, inflation has already reached historic levels. After September 15, once again, with the increase in petroleum product prices, there is a possibility that the prices of food items may soar. Moreover, there is also a possibility of further increase in rents. The poor are already being deprived of essential items like flour, sugar, rice, etc.
