PTI will win even if Pakistan has 100 provinces, B…

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan on Friday launched a sharp criticism of the country’s ruling coalition, claiming that administrative reforms or the creation of new provinces would not weaken his party’s political strength.

Speaking to reporters outside Parliament House, Gohar said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) lacked both the political will and public mandate to introduce major constitutional changes, including the formation of new administrative units or provinces.

“You may create 100 provinces, but PTI will still emerge victorious across the country because the people stand with Imran Khan,” Gohar said, asserting that the former prime minister continues to enjoy overwhelming public support.

The PTI chairman also commented on the health of Bushra Bibi, saying she had recently been shifted to hospital for an eye examination before being returned to Adiala Jail. He said he was informed about her transfer only after she had already been taken to the hospital.

Responding to speculation about political contacts, Gohar denied having any communication with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi or PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. He questioned the government’s handling of national affairs and urged authorities to explain what had led the country’s governance system into what he described as a “default mode.”

Turning to the judiciary, Gohar argued that recent constitutional amendments had failed to improve the justice system despite the appointment of dozens of additional judges. He claimed public confidence in judicial institutions had declined and called for reforms based on consensus rather than political interests.

The PTI leader further alleged that the ruling parties were considering administrative restructuring to weaken the opposition. He insisted that constitutional amendments should not be introduced without broad political agreement.

Gohar also criticised the PPP, accusing it of remaining silent on national issues while focusing on political gains. He repeated PTI’s longstanding allegations regarding the 2024 general elections and challenged the PPP leadership to a public debate over disputed electoral seats, including constituencies in Karachi.

His remarks come amid renewed political debate over constitutional reforms, governance and the country’s evolving political landscape, with both the government and opposition continuing to exchange sharp criticism over electoral legitimacy and institutional performance.

    Jonathan Bailey may be one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but his approach to grooming is surprisingly simple. The Bridgerton actor has revealed that he does not rely on an elaborate skincare routine to maintain his appearance. The 38-year-old British actor, who was named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2025, recently discussed his approach to self-care while promoting Giorgio Armani’s new men’s fragrance, I Will. Rather than listing a long collection of beauty products, Bailey highlighted a few everyday habits that help him feel his best. For the actor, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep and protecting his skin with SPF are key parts of his routine. He has also spoken about spending time outdoors and walking whenever possible, describing it as an important form of wellbeing. (People.com⁠) Keeping skincare simple Bailey’s routine reflects his relaxed attitude toward grooming. Instead of suggesting that looking after your skin requires countless products, he focuses on basic habits that fit naturally into his lifestyle. Sleep and hydration are particularly important to his daily routine. He has also emphasized the importance of SPF, making sun protection one of the straightforward steps he does not overlook. His approach comes as skincare has become an increasingly important part of modern grooming. Experts generally recommend keeping routines practical and consistent rather than overwhelming the skin with unnecessary products. (GQ⁠) His dog Benson is part of the routine Bailey’s idea of self-care extends beyond skincare. He also enjoys spending time outside with his aging cockapoo, Benson. Walking has become one of his favorite ways to create space during a busy day. In a recent interview, Bailey explained that he will sometimes leave earlier simply so he can walk to a meeting.

He is also preparing to return to the West End stage in a revival of Sunday in the Park with George in 2027. (GQ⁠) For Bailey, however, looking after himself does not seem to require an overly complicated formula. Good sleep, plenty of water, time outdoors and daily sun protection remain at the heart of his refreshingly down-to-earth approach.

    India’s Gen Z movement raises pressure on Mo…

    NEW DELHI: A growing youth-led protest movement is emerging as one of the most significant political challenges to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term, with demonstrations spreading across parts of India over allegations of examination irregularities, unemployment and demands for greater government accountability. What began as an online campaign has evolved into a nationwide movement driven largely by Generation Z, reflecting mounting frustration among young Indians over limited job opportunities and concerns about the country’s education system. The movement, associated with the youth-led platform known as the “Cockroach Janata Party,” initially focused on alleged examination scandals but has since broadened into a wider campaign calling for institutional reforms and political accountability. Protesters are demanding the resignation of the country’s education minister and greater transparency in the recruitment and examination process. The demonstrations have gained further momentum following activist Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike and his reported forced relocation, developments that have intensified public debate and drawn fresh attention to the broader protest movement. According to international media reports, the unrest represents one of the strongest waves of public pressure faced by Modi’s government since it began its third consecutive term. Analysts say the protests highlight deeper concerns among young voters, particularly over unemployment, education and confidence in public institutions. Tensions escalated during a protest march toward Parliament, where demonstrators clashed with security forces. Official figures said at least 180 people were injured, including 118 police officers and 60 protesters, as authorities moved to disperse crowds. Mobile internet services were also suspended in several sensitive areas to prevent the spread of unrest. Observers say the movement’s rapid rise demonstrates the increasing influence of social media in mobilising young people. What started as a satirical online campaign quickly transformed into an organised street movement, giving voice to a generation that believes its economic and educational concerns have gone unanswered. Political analysts note that while the protests remain centred on education and employment, they could carry broader political implications if public dissatisfaction continues to grow. The government’s response in the coming weeks is expected to be closely watched, as it seeks to balance law and order with demands for reform. Although it remains uncertain how the movement will develop, the ongoing demonstrations underscore the growing political engagement of India’s younger generation and the challenges facing the Modi administration as it navigates rising public expectations during its third term in office.
