"Nawaz Sharif Will Change Destiny Of Country": Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif

Fielding for the return of Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that his return will change the destiny of the nation and urged people to make their decisions after looking into the performance of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government, Geo News reported.

While addressing the cheques distribution ceremony under the Prime Minister's Youth Business and Agriculture Loan Scheme, Shehbaz Sharif said, "Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and the entire leadership of PML-N will change destiny of the country by taking it on the path of progress and prosperity."

The PML-N party is eyeing on Nawaz Sharif return as it considers that the comeback will give them boost in the election, which is set to take place in October-November, as the tenure is going to end in mid-August.

In order to bring Nawaz back in the power, the PML-N coalition government has passed a law in June limiting the disqualification of parliamentarians to a maximum of five years, benefiting the PML-N chief, who had been disbarred from running for office for a lifetime.

Sharif said that his party would accept the public's mandate in the upcoming polls, urging the people to make their decisions after looking into certain facts and by juxtaposing the performance of the PML-N governments with that of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf's (PTI) four-year saga of destruction.

The prime minister mentioned that PTI's tenure was tainted with huge corruption scams - including sugar and wheat scams, BRapid Transit Peshawar, Malam Jabba, sale of Toshakhana gifts, an Pound 190 billion UK agency corruption. "No one could deny these stark facts," he added.

While lauding the statesmanship qualities of Nawaz, who is his elder brother and a three-time premier, PM Sharif regretted that the former prime minister was removed from power despite the fact that he had ended hours-long crippling load shedding, provided laptops and loans to youth, brought muti-billions China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CEPC) power and road infrastructure projects during 2015, reported Geo News.

On the other hand, he said, PTI Chief Imran Khan had a "phobia of PML-N leadership" and the opposition, as day in and day out, he was "hell-bent" on putting them in jails in "fake cases". He said that the PTI chief could not assimilate the revolutionary steps taken by the PML-N government.

The prime minister went on to say that Nawaz and his party had experienced the worst kind of political vendetta, even though they were sent into exile after ouster from power, but unlike the PTI chief, the PML-N supremo never thought of anything against the country.

PM Shehbaz said that Khan, who was brought to power through "fake elections", kept on chanting the corruption charges during his four years in power but failed to prove them.

"When he (Khan) was removed from power corridors through a constitutional manner, he used dirty language and tactics against the state institutions," he added.

Speaking about the recent cut in petroleum prices, he said that the relief had been passed on to the masses in the wake of the strengthening of the rupee against the dollar.

He further stated that the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) programme is a challenge for the country instead of relief, but bold decisions will be helpful for stabilising the country's economy, as per Geo News.

A horrifying video of Bengaluru road rage has surfaced on the internet. The clip shows a few men trying to stop a car and engaging in an altercation. The now-viral video was posted on Twitter and was recorded on the car's dashcam. Taking swift action in the incident that happened on July 13, the Bengaluru police have arrested the accused.

The video shows a total of four men, on their two-wheelers, trying to stop a car. The goons can be seen driving their scooters very slowly in front of the car. While one of them was seen wearing a helmet, the others were seen without one. The car even tried to honk, but the men didn't budge.

Moments later, the man on the scooter abruptly stops his vehicle in the middle of the road. He then gets down from the scooter and tries to engage the car driver. The driver can be heard asking him what happened.

He is joined by more men on two-wheelers. In fact, a man riding a scooter smashes the car by coming from the wrong side. The driver quickly took a U-turn and escaped from the spot.

The caption of the video reads, "@east_bengaluru @BlrCityPolice @blrcitytraffic. The incident occurred on the new road which is connecting from DSR rivera to Varthur. Goons on the street of Bangalore. Is there any action taken yet on it."

"Erodes Public Trust": Delhi Court Denies Bail To Accused In Loan Fraud Case

A court here has denied bail to a man in a money laundering case related to an alleged bank loan fraud, saying such "unscrupulous shenanigans" erode public trust and weaken the foundations of economy.

Dismissing Bharat Rana Chaudhary's bail application, Special Judge Neelofer Abida Perveen termed the modus operandi used by him "sinister", and said he was "prima facie" tampering with evidence and creating false evidence.

The ED claimed Chaudhary caused a loss of around Rs 30 crore to Punjab National Bank due to credit repayment default during 2010 to 2012.

"The allegations are exceedingly serious, the offence grave, not merely from the standpoint of the large volume of POC (proceeds of crime) involved, the modus operandi was so elaborate and sinister that accused adopting such devious designs succeeded in duping the bank multiple times siphoning of huge amounts of public money in the process, layering and re-routing the same to himself and gratifying other unsavoury elements and operations in the process," the judge said.

She said there was no material placed before the court to record a prima facie satisfaction in favour of the accused he was not guilty of money laundering.

"It is indeed such unscrupulous shenanigans that erode public trust and weaken the foundations of the economy, and warrant for economic offences to be treated as a separate class unto itself," the judge said.

She also noted the accused had failed to join investigation despite being summoned on numerous occasions and was shown to have been non-cooperative all along.

Also, the search at his premises lead to a seizure of documents indicating that these were in the process of being fabricated, the judge noted in an order passed on July 12.

"The end user of the POC (proceeds of crime), a substantial part is yet untraced and the possibility does not sound too baseless and farfetched of the accused tampering with evidence to evade the discovery of end user of POC that remains to be unearthed. That the accused is not likely to commit similar offence also is not satisfied in favour of the accused," she said.

The accused had sought bail on the ground that the case was registered way back in 2015 and that he was arrested by the ED on February 14, 2023.

He claimed no purpose will be served by keeping him further custody since after completion of investigations, the charge sheet has already been filed in case.

The ED opposed the application, saying the arrest was made to prevent the tampering of evidence, influencing of witnesses, and the derailment of money laundering investigations.

It said there was enough evidence suggesting he was tampering with the evidence and creating false evidence to justify the transactions in his firm's account.

According to the ED, Chaudhary with the help of others took a loan from Punjab National Bank on the basis of false, forged and fabricated valuable securities, fake identity documents, forged rental deeds, forged collateral security papers, fake audited balance sheets and other documents.

On the basis of forged and fabricated documents he took Cash Credit Facility in the name of different firms namely Surya Impex, Jupiter Trading and Four Season Agro Products Ltd/ Four Seasons Sortex Pvt Ltd during 2010 to 2011, and by way of fraudulent means he siphoned off the loan funds and never utilised the same in the business activity of these firms.

The ED claimed the accused caused a loss of over Rs 30 crore.

Cash-Strapped Pakistan Lost Over $8 Billion In Remittances, Exports In FY23: Report

Pakistan incurred a $8.3 billion loss in remittances and exports during the previous fiscal year as the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led coalition government chose to appease the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a $1.2 billion tranche, according to Dawn.

Due to a lack of attention to these two big inflows, Pakistan lost considerably more than it received from IMF borrowings and inflows from other sources.

According to Dawn, Pakistan received a nine-month $3 billion loan package for FY24 in exchange for a massive tax burden, historically high-interest rates, and record inflation and currency depreciation in FY23.

The remittances declined by 13.6 per cent to $27.024 billion against $31.278 billion in FY22, a loss of $4.252 billion.

Interest-free inflows are falling as the government stays focused on IMF financing. 

According to Dawn, inflows from Pakistanis abroad fell even lower than the $29.449 billion received by the government in FY21, after increasing by a record $6.317 billion above the $23.132 billion in FY20.

The growth trajectory has been lost in FY23 despite over a million Pakistanis leaving the country for jobs mainly in the Middle East.

The inflows could be much higher due to the increased number of overseas Pakistani workers. Still, they fell mainly due to the political and economic crisis which dominated the entire fiscal year creating uncertainties for all stakeholders including the overseas Pakistanis, Dawn reported.

"Despite the month-to-month decline in the remittances, the government remained busy with the IMF for loans while it has been losing interest-free inflows without any strings. Attention was needed to address the declining trend but it looks borrowing was more important," said Atif Ahmed, a currency dealer and expert in the interbank market.

At the same time, the exports began falling and finally ended with a decline of 12.7 per cent to $27.74 billion compared to $31.78 billion last year, a net loss of $4.04 billion, Dawn reported.

The twin declines resulted in a net cumulative loss of $8.294 billion. The amount is almost equal to 30 per cent of the exports recorded in FY23.

The State Bank of Pakistan reported collective inflows of $4.2 billion from the IMF, Saudi Arabia and UAE this month. Pakistan hopes to get more borrowed dollars in the coming weeks and months after the IMF's support but the loss of $8.3 billion is still higher.

This was why many analysts believed the IMF loan would no longer positively impact the economy, including the exchange rate.

"A fresh inflow of $4.2 billion has significantly lifted sentiment. IMF's programme was one of a kind, custom-made to fit Pakistan's current needs and assisted with a political nudge to get this far. This shows how US and Gulf states consider Pakistan to be geopolitically too important and too big to fail," said Faisal Mamsa, CEO of Tresmark and a financial expert.

"While the improved reserves are being cheered at, the backlog of payments (imports, profit repatriation, etc) estimated to be around $6 billion, will not allow the rupee to strengthen above its current levels," he said.

The dollar appreciated against Pakistani Rupee in the interbank market in the last session of Friday reflecting the fading impact of the IMF's support, Dawn reported.

If the inflation stays elevated, interest rates may not go down any time soon, Mr Mamsa said. The IMF predicts 25 per cent inflation for FY24.

Iran Relaunches Police Patrols Against Veil Violations

Iranian police on Sunday relaunched patrols to catch the increasing number of women leaving their hair uncovered in public in defiance of a strict dress code, state media reported.

The report comes exactly 10 months after the September 16 death in custody of Mahsa Amini, 22, triggered nationwide protests and saw morality police largely disappear from the streets, while more and more women flouted the law.

Amini, an Iranian-Kurd, had been arrested by morality police for allegedly violating the dress code, which requires women to cover their head and neck in public.

While the morality police withdrew, authorities have taken other measures to enforce the law. These included the closure of businesses whose staff do not conform to the rules, and installing cameras in public places to track down offenders.

But starting Sunday, the traditional approach is being tried again, state media said.

"The police will launch car and foot patrols to warn, take legal measures, and refer to the judiciary those who disobey police orders and disregard consequences of dressing against the norms," the official IRNA news agency quoted police spokesman Saeed Montazer Almehdi as saying.

Online images have shown female police officers, clad in all-black chadors, berating and arresting women whose heads were uncovered. AFP could not independently verify the authenticity of the images.

The dress code has been in place since the aftermath of the Islamic revolution of 1979. Offenders face fines or prison terms of up to two months.

But Iran's reformist newspaper Shargh reported on Sunday that four women have received additional punishment including attending "psychological classes", and driving bans.

During the months of protest, which Tehran generally labelled as foreign-instigated "riots", thousands of Iranians were arrested and hundreds killed including dozens of security personnel.

Iran's conservatives, who dominate the country's parliament and leadership, have passionately defended the dress code but, with many Iranians demanding change, in May the judiciary and the government proposed a "Support for the Culture of Hijab and Chastity" bill, which sparked heated debate within the country.

The text proposes increased fines for "any person removing their veil in public places or on the internet" but withdraws the threat of a prison sentence.

Within Iran's leadership "there is no consensus on the hijab", as some favour repression, while others "believe that other means must be tried", sociologist Abbas Abdi has said.

The United States, Britain and the European Union have imposed several rounds of sanctions on Iran over its response to the protest movement.
