Haris Khokhar denies Dr Nabiha Ali Khan’s allegations

Haris Khokhar has publicly broken his silence to firmly refute the allegations made by his estranged wife, social media personality and medical professional Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan, labeling her claims as entirely baseless and deeply damaging to his family’s reputation.
​The high-profile rift between the couple—whose viral wedding celebrations previously captivated Pakistani social media—escalated into a public controversy after Dr. Nabiha appeared on a live television show. During the broadcast, she broke down in tears while accusing Khokhar and his family of subjecting her to severe mental stress, alleging domestic interference from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law that ultimately led to their separation.
​Responding through an exclusive interview and subsequent online statements, Khokhar offered his side of the story, categorically denying any mistreatment or domestic misconduct. He expressed deep dismay over having his private domestic matters aired on national television, asserting that he never abandoned his wife as claimed. Instead, Khokhar maintained that Dr. Nabiha chose to leave their marital home voluntarily after failing to adapt to married life and the household dynamics.
​Defending his family against what he described as targeted character assassination, Khokhar pointed out that his sister is happily married with children and that his parents had consistently welcomed Dr. Nabiha into their home. He rejected accusations that his family caused friction in the marriage, emphasizing that the disputes stemmed from personal incompatibilities and unrealistic expectations rather than systematic abuse.
​”I will not engage in a toxic public blame game, but dragging my mother and family onto live broadcasts with false allegations is completely unacceptable. I never abandoned my wife; she chose to walk away. She needs to acknowledge the reality of our personal differences instead of maligning my parents on social media for content and sympathy.”

​Khokhar further revealed that he has initiated formal legal notices regarding the dissolution of their marriage, stating that reconciliation is no longer a viable option following the public defamation his family endured. Addressing the media circus surrounding their split, he urged content creators, digital news portals, and netizens to stop sensationalizing their personal tragedy for online views and engagement.
​As formal legal proceedings move forward, Khokhar reiterated his call for privacy, urging both sides to handle the final resolution through legal courts rather than continuing trials on digital platforms.

    Sonu Nigam explains why he will not discuss NEET protests publicly

    Sonu Nigam has addressed his decision to stay silent on the NEET protests, after a video of his reaction went viral online. The clip had sparked mixed reactions among fans and critics alike. Back in July, a video circulated showing Nigam being asked about the ongoing student protests during a media interaction. He appeared visibly uncomfortable, responding briefly before stepping away from the question entirely. The moment triggered widespread discussion on social media, with some users questioning why he chose not to comment. Nigam has now clarified his reasoning in a new interview with Bombay Times. He explained that every discussion has its own appropriate time and setting. According to Nigam, he has followed one clear rule throughout his career, staying focused strictly on the purpose of whatever event he’s attending. He said that after three decades of working in Mumbai, he’s learned to always stick to the agenda of a given occasion. Nigam added that he avoids letting conversations drift toward unrelated topics during press interactions. At the time of the viral video, Nigam was attending an event honouring the late singer Pankaj Udhas. He felt discussing an unrelated political issue there would have been inappropriate given the occasion’s purpose. He said bringing up politics during a tribute dedicated to his mentor felt disrespectful to him personally. For Nigam, staying on-topic was not avoidance, but a matter of basic professional etiquette. Nigam also revealed a personal commitment he’s made regarding public commentary. He said he promised his father he would never comment on issues he doesn’t fully understand or have proper knowledge of. He clarified that this does not mean he avoids speaking up altogether. Nigam pointed to past instances where he’s taken clear public stances, including issues like loudspeaker regulations at religious sites and royalty rights for performing artists. He said he has taken plenty of stands throughout his career and has played a role in pushing for real systemic changes. Nigam maintained that silence on one particular issue doesn’t reflect indifference, but rather a conscious choice about when and where to speak. Reactions to his explanation have remained divided, with some praising his restraint and others still critical of his initial response.

    Four K-P Heritage sites added to UNESCO tentative list

    PESHAWAR: Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa has gained further international recognition for its cultural and historical heritage after four important sites from the province were included in the UNESCO World Heritage Centre’s Tentative List. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Information and Public Relations Minister Shafi Jan described the development as a significant achievement for the provincial government, saying the recognition would help draw international attention to the province’s diverse archaeological, architectural and cultural legacy. The sites added to the tentative list include Bhamaala in Haripur, Sethi House and Gor Gathri in Peshawar, and Barikot in Swat. According to the minister, the inclusion of these locations on the UNESCO list would provide greater international visibility to K-P’s historic sites and highlight their importance as part of the region’s rich cultural heritage. Recognition of K-P’s historical legacy Shafi Jan said Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa possessed a heritage that reflected centuries of civilisation, cultural interaction and historical development. He noted that the newly listed sites represented different aspects of the province’s past, ranging from archaeological remains to historic buildings and urban heritage. The minister said the addition of the four sites was not only a source of pride for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa but could also contribute to efforts aimed at preserving the province’s heritage for future generations. He said the provincial government was committed to protecting historical locations from deterioration and ensuring that their cultural significance was properly documented and promoted. Focus on preservation and promotion Shafi Jan said the government was working to strengthen measures for the preservation, restoration and promotion of historical and archaeological sites across the province. He emphasised that cultural heritage should be viewed as a valuable national and provincial asset rather than simply as remnants of the past. “Our rich cultural heritage is our pride and a trust for future generations,” he said, stressing the need for sustained efforts to protect historic sites. The minister added that the provincial government wanted to improve the visibility of K-P’s heritage at both national and international levels. Potential for cultural tourism The inclusion of the sites on UNESCO’s Tentative List could also provide an opportunity to promote cultural tourism in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. The province is home to numerous archaeological and historical locations associated with different periods and civilisations. Greater international recognition could help attract researchers, historians, archaeologists and tourists interested in the region’s history. Officials believe that improved preservation and promotion of these sites could also support local economies by creating opportunities for tourism-related businesses and services. However, greater recognition also places additional responsibility on authorities to ensure that the sites are properly protected, maintained and presented to visitors. Government commitment The minister said the provincial administration, under the vision of founding chairman Imran Khan and the leadership of Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, would continue efforts to preserve and promote Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s cultural assets. He maintained that protecting historical sites required long-term planning, proper conservation measures and cooperation between government institutions, heritage experts and local communities. The latest additions to the UNESCO Tentative List have therefore been welcomed by the provincial government as an important step towards placing K-P’s historical heritage on the international cultural map.

The meeting reviewed the latest security situation in Balochistan. Officials also discussed ongoing security operations and future plans to deal with terrorism. Chief Minister Bugti briefed the meeting on the challenges facing the province. He also explained the measures being taken to improve security and maintain peace. The meeting decided to further strengthen the Counter-Terrorism Force (CTF) and Balochistan Police. The participants agreed that the professional capabilities of both forces must be improved. The authorities also agreed to speed up decisions aimed at strengthening the provincial police force. The federal government assured Balochistan that it would provide the required resources and support. Naqvi said the federal government would continue to provide every possible assistance to Balochistan. He said restoring peace required immediate and effective implementation of a comprehensive security plan. The interior minister also called for greater use of the experience of former Balochistan police chiefs. He said their expertise could help authorities develop a stronger and more effective security strategy. Naqvi stressed the importance of modern technology in counterterrorism operations. He also highlighted the need for better intelligence and stronger coordination between security institutions. He said the federal and provincial governments were working together to address the security challenges. According to Naqvi, coordinated efforts are essential for establishing lasting peace in the province. Chief Minister Bugti also reaffirmed his government’s determination to fight terrorism. He said the provincial government would remain prepared to respond to threats on every front. Bugti made it clear that the government would not surrender to pressure from terrorists. He said the writ of the state would be established across Balochistan. The chief minister said no space would be allowed for terrorists to operate. He also stressed that security agencies would continue taking steps to protect citizens and public institutions. Bugti said the government’s strategy would not focus only on security operations. He said improving opportunities for young people was equally important.

    25 US states challenge Trump’s new tariffs in court

    NEW YORK: A coalition of 25 US states has filed a lawsuit against the administration of President Donald Trump, seeking to block a new round of tariffs imposed on imports from dozens of countries. The legal challenge was submitted to the US Court of International Trade in New York, where the states asked the court to suspend the tariffs, declare them unlawful and order the federal government to refund businesses that have already paid the import duties. The coalition argued that the administration exceeded its legal authority by introducing sweeping tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. According to the lawsuit, the investigations cited by the administration as justification for the tariffs were used as a pretext to impose broad trade restrictions. The disputed tariffs, ranging from 10% to 12.5%, were introduced last month and apply to imports from 60 trading partners, covering a significant share of goods entering the United States. The Trump administration has defended the measures, saying they are intended to address concerns related to forced labour in international supply chains and to protect American trade interests. The White House maintains that the tariffs were imposed within the government’s legal authority and remain an important tool for securing fair trade practices. A White House spokesperson said the administration is using powers granted under US trade law to respond to what it considers unfair policies and practices affecting American commerce. Officials also argued that Section 301 tariffs have previously withstood legal scrutiny and continue to be a lawful instrument of trade policy. The lawsuit follows earlier legal disputes over President Trump’s tariff policies. Previous tariffs introduced under emergency economic powers were struck down by the US Supreme Court earlier this year, prompting the administration to replace them with the current Section 301 measures after a temporary global tariff expired in July. The states involved in the case contend that the latest tariffs are arbitrary and unlawful, arguing that while they support efforts to combat forced labour worldwide, such concerns cannot be used to justify what they describe as an illegal expansion of presidential tariff powers.
