Gohar Rasheed shares powerful reminder about love and respect

Pakistani actor Gohar Rasheed recently shared a heartfelt message about the importance of valuing people who genuinely care for us. His post highlighted a simple yet meaningful thought: when you find someone who truly loves, respects, cares for, and supports you, such a person should not be taken for granted.

The message carries significance for both married and unmarried people, as meaningful relationships are built on more than attraction or temporary emotions. Love becomes stronger when it is accompanied by respect, understanding, loyalty, affection, and sincere care. According to the shared reminder, people who offer these qualities are not always easy to find, which makes their presence in our lives especially valuable.

In today’s fast-paced world, relationships can sometimes be affected by misunderstandings, unrealistic expectations, and a lack of communication. It is therefore important to recognize the efforts of those who consistently stand by us during difficult moments and celebrate our happiness during good times.

The message also encourages people to look beyond material things or appearances when judging the value of a relationship. Someone who treats you with kindness, respects your feelings, listens to you, and genuinely wants the best for you can be far more valuable than someone who only stays around when things are convenient.

Gohar Rasheed’s post has sparked a conversation about what truly makes a relationship worth preserving. For many, love alone may not be enough; mutual respect, trust, care, and emotional support are equally important foundations of a lasting bond.

The reminder ultimately encourages people to appreciate genuine connections before they are lost. In a world where sincere relationships can be difficult to find, recognizing and nurturing people who truly value you can make all the difference.

    Renoir, Cezanne and Matisse paintings worth $10.4 million recovered in Italy

      Three valuable paintings by renowned artists Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cezanne and Henri Matisse, collectively worth more than $10.4 million, have been recovered after being stolen from an Italian museum earlier this year, police announced on Friday. The artworks were taken in March from the villa of the Magnani-Rocca Foundation, a prominent cultural institution located near Parma in northern Italy. The theft was carried out remarkably quickly, with the entire operation reportedly lasting less than three minutes. The incident attracted significant attention because of the international reputation of the artists whose works were targeted. According to Italian authorities, the investigation into the robbery focused on a group of nine Moldavian nationals suspected of being connected to the crime. Parma Chief of Police Andrea Pagliaro told AFP that investigators believe the gang played different roles in planning and executing the operation. Five of the suspects are accused of physically carrying out the theft inside the museum. Police have released video footage that provides an insight into how the robbery was conducted. The footage shows two masked individuals entering the villa after breaking through a window. Both suspects were wearing headlamps, apparently to help them move through the building during the nighttime operation. Their faces were concealed, making their identification more difficult. Despite the speed of the robbery, investigators continued working to identify those responsible and locate the stolen artworks. The recovery of the paintings represents a major development in the case and prevents the valuable works from disappearing permanently into the international art market. The three artists involved are among the most influential figures in the history of modern European art. Renoir, Cezanne and Matisse produced works that have become highly sought after by museums, collectors and art institutions around the world. Their paintings can command millions of dollars because of their artistic importance, historical significance and rarity. The Magnani-Rocca Foundation, where the paintings were displayed, is known for its important collection of European art. The theft therefore represented not only a significant financial loss but also a serious cultural and security concern. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the suspected gang and are examining the circumstances surrounding the robbery, including how the suspects gained access to the villa and how the paintings were transported away from the scene. The recovery of the artworks is being viewed as a significant success for Italian law enforcement. Police will now seek to establish the precise roles played by each suspect and determine whether additional individuals were involved in organizing or facilitating the theft. The case highlights the continuing challenges faced by museums and cultural institutions in protecting priceless works of art. Even with security measures in place, sophisticated thieves can sometimes exploit weaknesses and carry out carefully planned operations within minutes. The recovery of the Renoir, Cezanne and Matisse paintings, however, ensures that these important works can ultimately return to public view rather than being lost to collectors or criminal networks.

    FBR introduces three-day sales tax registration fo…

      Islamabad: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has introduced a new mechanism to speed up sales tax registration for low-risk applicants, allowing eligible and complete applications to be processed within three working days. The measure was announced through Sales Tax General Order No. 20 of 2026, issued by the Revenue Division on August 24, 2026. The order is aimed at making the registration process faster, more transparent and business-friendly while retaining safeguards against fraudulent or suspicious registrations. Under the new system, applications submitted through the FBR’s IRIS system will be assessed according to risk-based parameters. Applicants classified as low-risk through the computerized system will receive priority treatment, provided their applications contain all required information and documents. According to the order, the relevant Local Registration Office (LRO) will be required to complete the registration process for eligible low-risk applicants within three working days. Officials have been directed to avoid unnecessary delays in processing such applications. The FBR has also restricted registration offices from seeking additional documents from low-risk applicants unless those documents are specifically required under the Sales Tax Act, 1990, the Sales Tax Rules, 2006, or are demanded by the computerized risk-management system. Another major feature of the new procedure is the introduction of pre-registration certification for manufacturers. Sector-specific trade associations operating under the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) will be able to certify the credentials of their member applicants before registration. The certification will cover key details including the applicant’s manufacturing activity, business premises and membership of the relevant trade association. However, the FBR has clarified that such certification is intended only as a facilitation measure and will not replace any legal or statutory requirement for sales tax registration. The new order also establishes clearer procedures for dealing with incomplete applications. If an application does not meet the required conditions, the applicant must be informed within seven days and provided with specific reasons for the objection. The FBR has prohibited registration officials from raising vague or generalized objections. This requirement is intended to provide applicants with greater clarity about deficiencies in their applications and allow them to address issues without unnecessary delays. For manufacturers, the order requires concerned LROs to conduct pre-physical verification under Rule 5(3) of the Sales Tax Rules, 2006 within three working days. Applications considered high-risk or suspicious, however, will remain subject to enhanced scrutiny and additional verification. The FBR said the initiative forms part of broader efforts to facilitate businesses, reduce administrative delays and encourage genuine manufacturers to enter the formal tax system. By involving recognized trade bodies in the initial verification process, the tax authority hopes to make better use of industry-level information while retaining the final decision-making authority with the relevant tax offices. The General Order has been circulated among all Chief Commissioners Inland Revenue, Commissioners, the Director General of IT and PRAL for immediate implementation. The FBR has also emphasized that classification as a low-risk applicant does not provide permanent immunity from scrutiny. If false information, misrepresentation or fraudulent documentation is discovered at a later stage, the applicant may still face subsequent verification and action under the applicable law. The new framework is therefore designed to combine faster registration for legitimate businesses with continued monitoring of applicants who may pose tax or compliance risks.

    Israel says Hezbollah tunnel network destroyed in southern Lebanon

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz announced that Israeli forces had destroyed what they described as a major Hezbollah tunnel network in southern Lebanon. According to a joint statement released on Friday, the underground tunnels in the Beaufort area were considered an important part of Hezbollah’s alleged plan to enter communities in northern Israel’s Galilee region. The Israeli government said the military used around 700 tons of explosives to demolish the tunnel system. Officials described the operation as part of Israel’s continuing efforts to eliminate Hezbollah’s military infrastructure in southern Lebanon. They claimed the action was necessary after accusing Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire agreement that had been reached between the two sides. Before the Israeli announcement, Lebanese media reported a series of powerful explosions across several locations in southern Lebanon. Blasts were heard in the town of Hadatha, around Deir Mimas near Beaufort Castle and in the area between Arnoun and Yahmar. Residents said the explosions echoed across nearby districts and caused widespread concern during the night. The military operation comes only weeks after Lebanon and Israel signed a United States backed framework agreement on June 26 aimed at reducing tensions along the border. The deal outlined a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from occupied Lebanese territory while the Lebanese army would expand its presence in the south and armed groups would be disarmed. Although Hezbollah was not named directly, the agreement was widely understood to include the group. As part of the first phase of the agreement, the Lebanese army began deploying forces in the town of Zawtar al Gharbiyeh on July 21 after Israeli troops pulled back from the area. The town was selected as one of the first locations for implementing the security arrangements outlined in the agreement. Despite the deal, tensions remain high. Israel continues to maintain a military presence in parts of southern Lebanon. Some of these areas have been occupied for decades while others have been under Israeli control since the conflict that took place during 2023 and 2024. Reports also indicate that Israeli forces recently advanced more than 10 kilometres into Lebanese territory during their latest operations. According to Lebanon’s Health Ministry, Israeli attacks carried out since March 2 have killed 4,333 people and injured more than 12,200 others. The figures reflect the heavy human cost of the ongoing conflict, which has continued despite diplomatic efforts to restore stability along the border. Lebanon’s National News Agency also reported that large explosions shook the southern regions of Yohmor al Chqif, Arnoun and Kfar Tebnit overnight. The blasts were so powerful that shockwaves were felt in towns far from the affected areas. In the Marjayoun district, explosions near Beaufort Castle reportedly shattered windows and damaged nearby homes in Qlayaa. Residents described strong vibrations and the smell of gunpowder spreading through the area after the blasts. The agency further reported that Israeli forces carried out heavy machine gun fire near al Mansouri and Biyout al Sayyad in the Tyre district while artillery shells struck al Mansouri. Tank movements were also reported near Baraachit hill heading towards Aainata in the Bint Jbeil district as military activity continued across southern Lebanon.

    FBR starts fiscal year strong with rs810 billion t…

    ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) kicked off the new fiscal year on a positive note by surpassing its July tax collection target, although a shortfall in income tax receipts and the government’s decision to reject a key enforcement proposal highlighted the challenges that lie ahead. According to provisional figures, the FBR collected Rs810 billion in July, exceeding its monthly target by Rs30 billion. The collection also marked a 7% increase compared to Rs757 billion collected during the same month last year. The strong performance was largely driven by robust sales tax collections, which reached Rs358 billion, surpassing the target by Rs53 billion and recording an 18% year-on-year increase. A significant 78% of total sales tax, amounting to Rs275 billion, was collected at the import stage, where tax compliance is generally higher. However, income tax collection remained below expectations. The FBR collected more than Rs300 billion in income tax, falling Rs23 billion short of the target. Analysts attributed the shortfall to advance tax collections made in June to meet last fiscal year’s revised revenue goals, along with reduced withholding tax rates for salaried individuals and property transactions introduced in the latest federal budget. Meanwhile, customs duty collection stood at Rs105 billion, matching the target, while federal excise duty generated Rs48 billion, slightly exceeding expectations. The July performance marks the beginning of a crucial fiscal year in which the government has committed to collecting Rs15.263 trillion in taxes under an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Meeting the annual target is considered essential for securing future IMF loan disbursements and creating fiscal space for development, defence and water resource projects. The FBR also reported encouraging progress in tax compliance, receiving around 227,000 income tax returns during July after updated tax return forms became available. Additionally, the authority issued Rs98 billion in tax refunds, approximately Rs13 billion more than in the same period last year. Despite the positive revenue performance, the federal cabinet declined an FBR proposal to activate restrictions on high-value purchases by individuals with insufficient declared assets. Had the proposal been approved, it would have limited the purchase of luxury vehicles, expensive properties, large stock investments and major cash withdrawals by non-compliant taxpayers. Economic observers say the government’s ability to sustain monthly revenue growth will be closely watched, as consistent tax collection remains critical to maintaining fiscal stability and meeting commitments under Pakistan’s economic reform programme.

    Uzma Bukhari rejects Bilawal’s rigging claims, u…

    Punjab Information Minister Uzma Bukhari has strongly rejected Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s allegations of rigging in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) elections, saying political parties should respect the public’s mandate and pursue legal channels if they have complaints. Responding to Bilawal’s criticism of the election process, Bukhari questioned why the PPP was accusing the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of electoral manipulation despite the AJK government and administrative machinery being under its own jurisdiction. “My question is this: the prime minister is yours, the police are yours, yet you are accusing the PML-N of rigging,” she said. She also alleged that in Nawabshah, opposition candidates contesting against the PPP often face intimidation, adding that Bilawal should address such concerns before making allegations against others. The provincial minister noted that two phases of the Azad Kashmir elections are still to be held and advised the PPP to approach the courts if it believes electoral irregularities have occurred. “If you have complaints, go to the courts and adopt the legal course,” she said. Bukhari emphasized that accepting election outcomes is a fundamental principle of democracy. She criticized the PPP for refusing to accept the results while presenting itself as a strong supporter of democratic values. She also criticized Bilawal’s speech, saying it appeared to imitate the rhetoric of other political leaders and that the language he used was inappropriate for a democratic debate. Turning her attention to governance in Sindh, Bukhari questioned the PPP’s performance during its long tenure in the province. She accused the party of failing to address Karachi’s water supply issues, alleging that the city had effectively been left in the hands of the tanker mafia. She further challenged the PPP leadership to present examples of development projects completed in Sindh, arguing that the party frequently criticizes other provinces while failing to highlight its own achievements. Comparing Punjab and Sindh, Bukhari claimed Punjab had made greater progress in public services, citing initiatives such as air ambulance services and school meal programs. She also questioned how the Sindh government had utilized its reported Rs. 1.7 trillion budget, asking officials to identify the major development projects completed with those funds. The exchange of statements has intensified political tensions following the AJK elections, with both the PPP and PML-N continuing to trade accusations over the electoral process and governance issues.

    US judge dismisses bribery and fraud case against Gautam Adani despite procedural concerns

    A US federal judge has formally dismissed criminal bribery and fraud charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, bringing an end to a high-profile prosecution while issuing a sharp rebuke over how the Department of Justice handled the case. US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis approved the Justice Department’s request to drop all charges with prejudice, permanently barring prosecutors from refiling the case. The decision closes an investigation launched in 2024 that accused Adani and senior executives of paying over $250 million in bribes to Indian officials to secure solar energy contracts while misleading American investors. In a 47-page order, Judge Garaufis voiced deep concern over procedural irregularities, noting that senior Justice Department official R. Trent McCotter negotiated the dismissal directly with Adani’s defence team without consulting the FBI agents and career prosecutors handling the investigation. The judge also scrutinized whether Adani’s public pledge to invest $10 billion in the United States and create 15,000 jobs influenced the outcome. While Garaufis ultimately concluded the investment promise did not legally dictate the government’s decision, he warned that the unusual handling of the case raised troubling questions about public perception of equal justice. The dismissal follows efforts by Adani’s legal team, led by prominent attorney Robert J. Giuffra Jr., who argued that much of the alleged conduct occurred outside US jurisdiction and no longer aligned with federal enforcement priorities. Adani, who maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, welcomed the ruling in a statement, expressing deep respect for the judicial process.
