Lahore, July 23: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan Secretary General Ameerul Azeem was laid to rest on Thursday following funeral prayers at Mansoorah, Lahore, attended by thousands of mourners from across the country.

The funeral prayer was led by JI Emir Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman, who paid rich tribute to the late leader, describing him as a committed worker of Islam who devoted his entire life to religious, political and organizational service.

A large number of senior Jamaat-e-Islami leaders, politicians, religious scholars, lawyers, journalists, teachers, traders, representatives of labour and farming communities, civil society members and party workers attended the funeral. Federal Minister Ahsan Iqbal, former Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar, former Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri, former Federal Minister Muhammad Ali Durrani, former Lahore Mayor Khawaja Ahmad Hassan, JUI-F leader Maulana Muhammad Amjad Khan, PML-N leaders Hafiz Nauman and Mian Marghoob, Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith chief Ibtisam Elahi Zaheer, along with several senior Jamaat-e-Islami office-bearers and district emirs from across Pakistan, were among those present. Representatives of minority communities, including Punjab Minister for Minority Affairs Sardar Ramesh Singh Arora and members of the Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee, also attended to offer condolences.

Addressing the gathering, Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman said Ameerul Azeem spent his entire life striving for the establishment of Islamic values and remained an example of sincerity, discipline and dedication. He said the late leader was deeply compassionate toward party workers and always remained accessible to every member of the organization. Despite suffering from cancer, he continued fulfilling his organizational responsibilities with determination and never allowed his illness to affect his commitment to the party.

The JI chief said Ameerul Azeem believed Jamaat-e-Islami had entered a crucial phase in its struggle and consistently encouraged workers to remain steadfast in pursuing the party’s mission. He prayed that Allah Almighty grant the departed leader the highest place in Jannah and bless his family with patience.

Senior JI leader Liaqat Baloch also paid tribute, recalling his more than five-decade association with Ameerul Azeem. He said the late leader’s journey from student politics to one of the party’s highest offices reflected his unwavering dedication, adding that his services would continue to inspire generations of workers.

Ameerul Azeem passed away on Wednesday night after a prolonged battle with cancer. Throughout his illness, he remained active in party affairs and continued serving the movement until his final days.

Born in Lahore in 1958, Ameerul Azeem earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the University of the Punjab. He began his political journey through Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (IJT), serving as Nazim of IJT Lahore before becoming Nazim-e-Aala of IJT Pakistan. During General Zia-ul-Haq’s rule, he led the movement for the restoration of student unions, endured imprisonment, and was elected Nazim-e-Aala while in jail. He also served as president of the Punjab University Students Union.

After transitioning from student politics, he held several important positions within Jamaat-e-Islami, including Emir of Lahore, Emir of Central Punjab, Central Information Secretary and Secretary General of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan on two occasions. In 2019, then JI Emir Sirajul Haq appointed him Secretary General of the party.

Remembered for his humility, integrity and organizational abilities, Ameerul Azeem also played a prominent role in the Lawyers’ Movement for the restoration of the judiciary and remained a strong advocate of constitutional supremacy, democratic values and the rule of law. Widely respected across political, social and media circles, he leaves behind a legacy of principled leadership and dedicated public service.

    An eight-year-old girl was allegedly subjected to a brutal sexual assault by unidentified perpetrators in the Gujranwala area, triggering widespread grief and anger across Pakistan. The incident has once again raised serious concerns about the safety of children and the growing number of violent crimes being reported across the country. According to reports, the incident took place in Feroze Wala Kala Khatai Gol Pind near Gujranwala. The minor was allegedly taken to nearby fields, where she was sexually assaulted by multiple suspects. Her cries for help alerted local residents, who rushed towards the area and intervened. Police have launched an investigation into the incident and are working to identify and arrest those responsible. The victim was later taken to a police station in critical condition. Reports said that she was in severe distress and was unable to sit comfortably following the alleged assault. The incident has also sparked criticism of the media after the child’s father appeared before news outlets while attempting to conceal his daughter’s face. Despite the family’s efforts to protect the minor’s identity, reports claimed that some media channels broadcast footage showing the child’s face without blurring it. The decision has drawn condemnation from members of the public and celebrities, who argued that protecting the privacy and dignity of a minor victim should be a basic responsibility of the media. Actress Amar Khan expressed her anger over the alleged assault as well as the media’s handling of the victim’s identity. She criticised the decision to broadcast the child’s unblurred face, calling attention to the ethical responsibilities of news organisations when reporting cases involving minors. Maya Khan also reacted emotionally to the incident, urging people to take action against such cruelty. She wrote, “Please do something before Allah reacts to this cruelty and punishes us.” Malik Aqeel was also among those who expressed grief over the disturbing case. The incident has prompted another wave of public outrage on social media, with many users demanding strict action against those responsible. Several commentators questioned whether parents can feel safe raising daughters when children continue to face such horrific violence. Some users called for stronger punishments for perpetrators of crimes against children, while others expressed frustration over what they described as repeated failures to protect vulnerable minors. Many social media users also tagged Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, urging authorities to ensure a swift investigation and bring the suspects to justice. The alleged assault comes amid growing public concern over reports of rape, murder, kidnapping and other violent crimes across Pakistan. Recent cases involving children and other vulnerable victims have intensified demands for stronger law enforcement, better protection for minors and greater accountability. As the investigation continues, the public is awaiting concrete action against those responsible for the Gujranwala incident. The case has once again highlighted the urgent need to protect children from violence and ensure that victims are treated with dignity and privacy throughout the legal process.

    Sadie Sink revealed as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day

    ByJustpaste.in

    After months of speculation, Sadie Sink’s long-kept secret role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day has finally been revealed. The actress, best known for her standout performance in Stranger Things, has officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Jean Grey, one of the most iconic characters from the X-Men franchise. Marvel had announced Sink as part of the film’s cast well before its release but deliberately kept her character under wraps, sparking widespread theories among fans. Many believed she would portray Gwen Stacy, Mayday Parker, or another familiar Spider-Man character, while others predicted she could be connected to the X-Men. With the film now arriving in cinemas, the mystery has finally been solved. Sink makes her MCU debut in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring alongside Tom Holland in his fourth standalone Spider-Man adventure. Her appearance as Jean Grey marks a major crossover, introducing one of Marvel’s most powerful mutants into the MCU through the Spider-Man storyline. The reveal has quickly become one of the film’s biggest talking points, surprising audiences who had no confirmation of her role before the movie’s release. Jean Grey is among Marvel’s most recognizable superheroes, known for her extraordinary telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Over the years, the character has played a central role in numerous X-Men storylines, including the legendary Dark Phoenix saga. Previously, Jean Grey was portrayed by Famke Janssen in Fox’s original X-Men film series. The younger version of the character was later played by Sophie Turner in X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. Sink now becomes the latest actress to take on the beloved role, bringing a fresh interpretation of the powerful mutant as Marvel continues expanding the X-Men’s presence in the MCU. In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Jean Grey is introduced in a dramatic fashion. Her powers allow her to possess multiple individuals while attempting to infiltrate facilities operated by the Department of Damage Control. The sequence highlights her immense psychic abilities and hints at a larger role for mutants in future Marvel projects. The introduction of Jean Grey is expected to have significant implications for the MCU. Fans have been eagerly waiting for Marvel Studios to gradually integrate the X-Men following Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox. Sink’s debut represents another major step toward that long-anticipated crossover. The casting decision has also generated praise among fans, many of whom had previously suggested Sink would be a strong choice for Jean Grey because of her acting range and screen presence. Her performance is already being discussed as one of the film’s standout surprises. Sink previously revealed that she landed the Marvel role without having to audition. She had already built a working relationship with director Destin Daniel Cretton after appearing in the 2017 drama The Glass Castle. That collaboration ultimately helped pave the way for her casting in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, where she now begins a new chapter as one of Marvel’s most iconic superheroes.

    New CCTV footage emerges in Mir Raza Ali murder in…

    ByJustpaste.in

    A significant development has emerged in the investigation into the murder of Mir Raza Ali, a young resident of Karachi’s PECHS area, as police continue to gather evidence and analyze new surveillance footage to determine the circumstances surrounding the case. According to investigators, a newly obtained CCTV recording shows Mir Raza Ali walking along a street shortly before the incident. During the footage, he appears to remove a glowing object from his pocket and throw it away while continuing on foot. Police believe the object seen in the video is likely to be a mobile phone, although forensic analysis is still underway to confirm its identity. Officials said a local resident had earlier informed police about the location where a mobile phone was found. The spot reportedly matches the location visible in the CCTV footage where the illuminated object was discarded, strengthening investigators’ efforts to establish a timeline of events. Police have since collected additional evidence from the area where the phone was recovered. Investigators are examining the location for forensic clues that may help determine what happened before the victim’s death and whether anyone else was present at the scene. Authorities also confirmed that more CCTV footage tracing Mir Raza Ali’s movements has been obtained from nearby locations. The investigation team is carrying out a detailed technical and forensic examination of these recordings to reconstruct the victim’s final movements and identify any individuals who may have come into contact with him. Law enforcement officials said the investigation remains active and that all available evidence is being carefully reviewed. Detectives are comparing CCTV footage, forensic findings, witness statements, and digital evidence to establish a clearer picture of the events leading up to the murder. Police have not yet announced any arrests or identified suspects in connection with the case. They emphasized that multiple aspects of the investigation are being examined and that conclusions will only be drawn after all evidence has been thoroughly analyzed. The emergence of the latest CCTV footage is considered an important development because it may help investigators verify key details of the victim’s movements before the incident. However, officials cautioned that the investigation is still in progress, and no final determination has been made regarding the significance of the recovered mobile phone or its possible connection to the crime. Authorities have reiterated their commitment to pursuing every lead and using forensic and technical analysis to ensure that those responsible for Mir Raza Ali’s death are identified and brought to justice.

    Hurricane Lala triggers flash flooding across Hawa…

    ByJustpaste.in

    Hawaii is grappling with widespread flash flooding after Hurricane Lala skirted the Big Island as a category one storm, bringing powerful winds and heavy rain that officials say may have swept some homes off their foundations. Tens of thousands of properties across the islands have lost power, and officials have urged residents to brace for life threatening conditions, including mudslides, as the storm continues tracking westward south of Hawaii. Lala strengthened into a hurricane on Saturday, with wind speeds reaching a peak of 91 miles per hour, or 147 kilometers per hour, and forecasters say the storm could dump as much as 35 inches, or 89 centimeters, of rain in some areas. Hawaii Governor Josh Green said Saturday that one person died in a weather related car accident on Big Island, where numerous roads have been affected by the storm. Hawaii County officials said that as of 1:00 a.m. local time Sunday, two areas on Big Island had experienced flash flooding, warning that several occupied homes may have been swept off their foundations. Big Island Mayor Kimo Alameda said the county’s civil defense agency launched a search and rescue operation to locate residents whose homes may have been carried away by floodwaters. He described the rescue effort as especially difficult given the combination of rushing water, debris, boulders blocking roads and darkness. Footage released by Hawaii’s Department of Transportation shows roads submerged under fast moving water and blocked by fallen trees. Green urged residents to prepare for what he called an incredible amount of water and pleaded with people to stay off the roads during the storm, delivering the warning in a video posted to social media. The governor said 190 flights have been postponed as a result of the storm. At Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport, Big Island’s largest airport, 40 percent of flights were grounded Saturday according to flight tracking service FlightAware, while roughly 80 percent of flights were canceled at Hilo International, the island’s other major airport. The National Weather Service issued its most severe warnings for areas in Big Island’s southeast, the region that came closest to the hurricane’s center, saying major rainfall flooding could prompt widespread evacuations and rescues as rivers and tributaries rapidly overflow their banks in multiple locations. Nearly 115,000 customers had lost power across Hawaii as of Sunday morning local time, according to the tracking service PowerOutage. Green said three hospitals also lost electricity but continued operating on backup generators. In Maui, some residents have been without water service since Saturday afternoon. A county statement said crews who responded to assess the situation were forced to turn back due to worsening weather and multiple downed trees, adding that repair work would resume once conditions allow safe access. Meteorologist Jennifer Myers, who lives in Hilo on Big Island’s eastern coast, said landslides have already cut off some roads while falling trees have torn down power lines in the area. Describing the view from her apartment overlooking the Wailuku River where it meets Hilo Bay, she said the water level had risen dramatically and that the bay, normally blue, had turned a deep red from sediment and runoff pouring into it. The hurricane ultimately did not make landfall on Big Island as some forecasts had suggested was possible, instead passing within 30 miles, or 48 kilometers, of the island’s South Point. Tropical storm warnings remain in effect across all eight of Hawaii’s major islands, including Big Island, Maui, Molokai, Kahoolawe, Oahu, Lanai, Kauai and Niihau. Big Island had previously been under a full hurricane warning. The National Hurricane Center said damaging winds and heavy rain will continue across Big Island overnight before spreading westward to the smaller islands on Sunday. Officials had repeatedly urged residents to prepare ahead of the storm’s arrival. Social media posts from local community groups showed residents filling sandbags to protect their homes and asking about store hours in the early hours of Saturday. Hawaii County’s Civil Defense Agency said public shelters remain open across every district on Big Island.

    Iranian lawmaker questions Saudi defence pact with Pakistan, Türkiye

    ByJustpaste.in

    TEHRAN: Iranian parliamentarian Ebrahim Rezaei has questioned whether Saudi Arabia’s new defence agreement with Pakistan and Türkiye can guarantee the Kingdom’s security. Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, made the remarks in a social media post. He said Saudi Arabia should understand that the agreement with Pakistan and Türkiye would not provide the level of protection Riyadh had failed to obtain despite decades of reliance on the United States. Rezaei described the agreement as a “paper pact” and urged Saudi Arabia to reconsider its policies so that it would not have to seek security guarantees from other countries. His comments came shortly after Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye signed a joint defence agreement in Makkah. The agreement was signed amid concerns over potential attacks on Saudi Arabia by Iran-aligned militias in Iraq and Yemen. Saudi officials have reportedly warned of such security threats. Under the new agreement, an attack against any one of the three countries will be considered an attack against all three. The pact aims to strengthen defence cooperation and develop joint capabilities among Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye. A trilateral defence summit was held at Al-Safa Palace in Makkah, attended by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. According to Pakistan’s Foreign Office, the three leaders signed the agreement, formally described as the Makkah Defence Joint Agreement.

    Fiza Ali criticises Nimra Khan’s ex-husband over divorce comments

    ByJustpaste.in

    Pakistani actress Fiza Ali has spoken out about the recent divorce involving actress Nimra Khan and her former husband, urging people to maintain respect and dignity even when a marriage comes to an end. Nimra Khan recently entered into her second marriage and shared pictures from the wedding celebrations with her new family on social media. However, the relationship reportedly faced difficulties soon after the marriage, with both sides eventually sharing posts on social media that fueled speculation about problems between them. The situation attracted further attention after Nimra Khan’s husband shared a social media message using the phrase “good riddance,” which many users interpreted as a sign that the couple had separated. He later expressed his best wishes for Nimra and confirmed that the marriage had ended. Fiza Ali has now reacted to his post and criticised the way the end of the relationship was presented publicly. The actress stressed that a man should continue to treat a woman with respect, even after their marriage has ended. According to Fiza, if someone feels relieved after getting divorced, it also raises questions about what was happening in their life before the separation. She suggested that the end of a marriage should not become an opportunity to publicly humiliate or disrespect the former partner. The actress also emphasised that a woman deserves respect even when she is no longer part of a man’s life. She pointed out that people eventually move forward, rebuild their lives and find happiness after difficult experiences. Fiza strongly objected to portraying divorce as a victory. She said that ending a relationship should not be treated as if someone has won a competition or received a trophy. In her view, a marriage may have ended, but that does not mean the dignity or worth of the woman involved has ended with it. Addressing Nimra directly, Fiza encouraged her to remain confident and hold her head high despite the breakdown of her marriage. She stressed that the end of a relationship does not reduce a woman’s value or importance. Her comments have sparked discussion on social media, with many people debating whether former spouses should publicly discuss their relationships after divorce. Fiza’s message, however, focused primarily on the importance of maintaining basic respect and avoiding language that could further hurt someone during an already difficult period. The actress’ remarks highlight a broader conversation about how celebrities and public figures handle personal relationships in the age of social media, where private disputes can quickly become public controversies.
