Sanam, Aliya facing consequences of their crimes, misdeeds: Azma
LAHORE, Jun 15 (APP):Provincial Minister for Information Azma Bokhari has said that Sanam Javeid and Aliya Hamza are facing the consequences of their crimes and misdeeds.
She expressed these views while rebutting Barrister Saif’s statement. “They were not told by Maryam Nawaz to attack the Corps Commander House and burn the statues of martyrs. On May 9, a gang of miscreants had gone out to capture the fort but now why are they shedding crocodile tears?” she added. She said that Maryam Nawaz was imprisoned twice for being Nawaz Sharif’s daughter. “The facilities available to the founder PTI in jail were not available to her. Maryam Nawaz neither played a women card nor complained of getting inadequate facilities in jail. The religious touch, womens’ card and treachery card are Imran Khan’s favourite hobbies,” she maintained.
“The PTI founder, during his tenure used to hurl threats and committed atrocities and is now begging to get relief. He should keep his threats and accusations to himself. The Sharif family has been witnessing such political jugglery and dramas of the people like you for the last three decades. You have nothing left to impress the masses about the performance of your Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. If your government has been accidently imposed on the people of KP, then have mercy on their miserable conditions. The people have not given you a mandate in KP just to accuse and threaten others,” she added.
Legendary poet Ibn-e-Insha remembered on his birth anniversary
LAHORE, Jun 15 (APP):Renowned poet, travelogue writer and columnist Ibn-e-Insha was remembered on his 90th birth anniversary here and across the country on Saturday.
Ibn-e-Insha was born in Jalandhar district of Indian Punjab in 1927 and later migrated to Pakistan.
Along with his poetry, he was regarded one of the best humorists of Urdu literature.
His poetry was simple but had meaningful depth. The real cause of his popularity was his humorous poetry and columns. His master pieces are still remembered by his admirers and his most famous ghazal `Insha Ji Uttho’ is a modern-day classic.
Ibn-e-Insha’s poetic works are Chand Nagar and Dil-e-Wehshi while travelogues are “Awara Gard Ki Diary”, “Dunya Gol Hey”, “Ibn-e-Batoota Kay Taqub Main”, “Chaltay Ho To Cheen Ko Chaliye” and “Nagri Nagri Phira Musafir”.
His humorous books are “Khumar-e-Gandum” and “Urdu Ki Aakhri Kitaab”.
He was associated with various government services including Radio Pakistan, Ministry of Culture and National Book Centre of Pakistan. He also served the UN for some time and this enabled him to visit a lot of places and was the reason for his subsequent travelogues. Insha got the mentors like Habibullah Ghazanfer Amrohvi, Dr. Ghulam Mustafa Khan and Dr. Abdul Qayyum.
