Why Thousands of Pakistanis want to get out from here?
Weeks after a fishing boat carrying up to 750 refugees capsized off the coast of Greece, Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) announced the arrest of dozens of “smugglers” and vowed to destroy an entire network of agents and operators involved in illegal business.But why did so many deaths have to occur before the authorities intervened? Why did so many lives have to die for law enforcement to recognize this as a problem? And most importantly, why are Pakistanis willing to walk (or swim) through Death Valley to reach the ‘green meadows’? A volatile economy with high inflation, combined with rising unemployment and a forced and unstable political climate, has led to a significant increase in the number of people wanting to flee the country for a better life. “The economic and political situation in Pakistan has deteriorated sharply,” said filmmaker Hassan Zaidi, who has meticulously documented the migrants’ journeys across multiple routes and borders. “Stability is directly proportional to legal and illegal immigrants, both of which are currently overwhelmed. FIA Human Trafficking and Smuggling Wing Director Muhammad Alam Shinwari told media that “in the past few years, thousands of agents have been arrested for helping the illegal migration of people from Pakistan. Immigration officials have been trained and newly equipped to deal with these issues. Our system is connected to NADRA and other databases. Especially at border points, intelligence units made up of various agencies have been set up to prevent people from using land and sea routes,” Shinwari said.

Saud shakir,a Karachi boy making waves by his batting,compare to Bradman
Just seven months after his debut and in just six Test appearances, the Pakistani batsman made history by becoming the first home country cricketer to score a double 100 in five days in Sri Lanka. Shaquille’s batting average climbed to a staggering 98.5, making him the best player since Don Bradman to hit more than 10 times in Test cricket. He has never played in an official T20 match and has scored only 67 runs in five ODI appearances.But Saud Shaq, 27, looks like a Test cricket champion. Even the legendary Eunice Khan was shocked by Shaquille’s talent. From his good swing to his use of the tail, I thoroughly enjoyed Saud Shakir’s innings, which he hit brilliantly under pressure. “A great future awaits,” Eunice wrote on social media.

UK opens up to foreign workers with easier visas
The United Kingdom (UK) has decided to include some construction industries on its ‘rarity list’. This list will help construction companies recruit workers from other countries. The list includes bricklayers, roofers, carpenters and plasterers. A group called the Immigration Advisory Board has proposed adding these construction jobs to the list. The list already includes occupations such as nurses, civil engineers and medical professionals. The event came at a time when a record number of more than 600,000 people emigrated to the UK last year. For those who come to work in the occupations listed on the “short list of occupations”, the rules are slightly relaxed. For example, he can get a visa while earning his 80% of normal wages. However, you must have an offer from your employer and be able to speak English.
“Exploring the Courageous Tale of Pakistan’s Christian Minority through Babar Ali’s Debut Film ‘JOHN'”
JOHN, the first film by director Baber Ali, tells the tale of a young Karachi resident who belongs to the Christian minority. The injustice the Christian community encounters on a daily basis is discussed in the movie along with gangs and target killings. It is accurate enough to qualify as a genuine study of the hostile and occasionally dismal environment Pakistani Christians are raised in. ‘JOHN’ is forced to make decisions throughout the movie in order to live and prosper in Karachi’s competitive atmosphere. He discovers that his aspirations to become a musician and his existence as a common sweeper and marginalized Christian are at odds. Instead, he must choose between accepting fate and participating in Karachi’s game of chance. Following a tragedy that disrupts his world. He joins the hitman Dawood and sets out on his journey. Babar Ali, the director, did a respectable job. The storyline of JOHN is too similar to those of many other crime thrillers. In my opinion, the movie doesn’t actually support the main character’s faith all that much. Yes, there are specifics, such as how Christians are considered as second-class citizens and compelled to work in certain occupations. But the finer points of a Christian’s existence in Pakistan could have been useful to include in the screenplay. Nothing in the movie “JOHN” comes off as a shocker because most people are aware of how Christians are treated in Pakistan. The performances are what set ‘JOHN’ apart from Pakistan’s typical fare such as; Aashir Wajahat Aashir Wajahat does a passable job as John, although he’s only , although he is only now beginning to discover his talents. His voice and body language, which rather well matches that of a street kid, are his strong suits. He sings “Tu Theher Ja,” a song he performs for his mother, inadvertently in an empty classroom, and it’s a lovely scenario. Saleem Meiraj As always, Saleem Meiraj excels in his role as the hitman Dawood. He plays his role with perfection. Raza Samo Raza Samo is flawless as Fazal. He offers some lighthearted relief and some much-needed pauses in the otherwise cynical film. Romaisa Khan The most surprising performance, nevertheless, belongs to Romaisa Khan as Maria. She portrays a local school employee who develops feelings for John. Romaisa infuses the part with authenticity. She has a lot of acting potential. Music: ‘JOHN’ has a musical quality that goes well beyond that of the majority of current Pakistani films. There isn’t a lot of cinema music in Pakistani films worth discussing about, except from a few masterpieces like “Kamli.” With songs like “Tu Theher Ja,” “Chitthiyaan,” and “Tu Who Qaatil Hai,” “JOHN” emerges and destroys the competition.
Court Accepts Motion to Challenge Imran’s Marriage
Civil Judge Kudrat Ullah handed down the verdict after hearing arguments from plaintiff Mohammad Hanif’s lawyer Raja Rizwan Abbasi and others. He sent notices to Khan and Maneka adjourning the lawsuit until July 20.Last week, Islamabad’s district and parliamentary court overturned a civil judge’s ruling that rejected the former prime minister’s alleged un-Islamic marriage. Earlier, on May 13, Civil Judge Nasir Minoura ruled on allegations that the former prime minister’s marriage to Maneka was illegal and unacceptable. The plaintiff’s attorney, Raja Rizwan Abbasi, had alleged that Maneka was divorced in November and was in an idat (waiting-after-divorce) period at the time of their marriage in January 2018. Lawyers argued that marriage during the idat period was illegal. The court ruled that the case was beyond its jurisdiction and declared it inadmissible.Plaintiff then challenged the judgment in trial court, arguing that the civil judge had not heard his case. His lawyer argued that the Section 179 case could be heard in either Lahore or Islamabad because the couple lived in Islamabad after marriage.
