PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz on Sunday said that because of the "chaos that the ruling PTI created at the NA-75 constituency's polling station in Daska during the by-election on Friday, Feb 19, Nawaz Sharif's narrative of respecting votes is once again echoing across Pakistan."
It should be recalled that clashes between people outside of the polling station led to the loss of at least two lives, while three other people sustained injuries.
While addressing a jalsa in Daska on Sunday, Maryam Nawaz said that the people of the city proved that they would "not bow down to those who stole votes."
Speaking about PML-N worker Zeeshan who died due to firing in Daksa during the polls, Maryam said that the police have registered a case against his brother for the unrest.
"PML-N members are being punished for supporting the party," Maryam said, adding that the PTI used every tactic under the sun to derail the election that day because the PML-N was winning and the ruling party felt threatened.
"The PTI knew that it was about to face humiliation in the NA-75 constituency, therefore, its workers not only created chaos in Daska but even went to Wazirabad and Nowshera to torture PML-N voters," she said.
"However, the people of Pakistan know how to safeguard their votes. The party which steals votes [to come into power] should be ashamed of itself," Maryam Nawaz said while taking a jibe at the ruling PTI.
She said that the firing incident in Daska took place under the noses of PTI candidates, adding that the situation was created to terrorise the masses [and stop them from coming out to vote for PML-N].
"The people of Daska proved that they would not bow down to those who stole votes," she said. "Those who respect the sanctity of votes defeated fear and stood up to tyranny."
She went on to say that when PTI workers could not do anything to derail the by-polls, they tried to slow down the polling process.
"There were long queues of people standing outside polling stations because the ruling party deliberately slowed down the process," she said, adding that when asked about the reason for the undue delay, the PTI blamed it on the heavy fog.
The PML-N leader added that when the votes were recounted, 300 of them turned out to be fake votes.
"I salute the intellectual abilities of Imran Khan, who came to power through stolen votes," she said. "His stupidity turned the Daska election into a country-wide election as people realised that the general elections of 2018 were also rigged."
Maryam Nawaz said that the PTI "never had a narrative of its own," adding that it was Nawaz Sharif's narrative of giving respect to the vote which has once again become echoing across Pakistan.
"All these people [of the PTI] cannot compete against Nawaz Sharf," she concluded.

Kirklees Council recently announced how much of the government’s COVID-19 funds they have been allocated.
They have received more than £12 million to help fight against coronavirus at a local level.
The official full amount totals up to £12,227,930 and it has been allocated as additional funding for local government. It comes from the £1.6bn funding announced in March, by Whitehall.
If used properly, the funding will assist the Council and its constituents in their combat against the dreaded virus.
Last week applications began being accepted for financial help from struggling businesses, due to the crisis.
With the first few days, over 2000 businesses applied for financial help.
The virus continues to have a huge negative effect on the economy, as well as people. It is vital for the government to act on keeping the funding flowing to different district councils.
Robert Jenrick, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, last month, said: “The work of local authorities to deliver social care and other vital public services has never been more important than it is now – and will be – in the days and weeks ahead.
“That’s why we’re giving local councils £1.6 billion of additional funding to spend where it’s needed most, to ensure they can meet the cost of the increased demand for social care and continue to protect the most vulnerable people in society.”


Chennai, Sep 29 (IANS) Kaleem, the majestic 'Kumki' elephant of the Tamil Nadu forest department under the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR) who helped in capturing several wild elephants that posed a threat, will be retiring from the state forest department service during next year.
Sources in the state forest department told IANS that the elephant has put in three decades of meritorious service and has turned 57 years of age now.
A senior officer with the Tamil Nadu forest department told IANS, 'Kaleem is a pride for our department. He was involved in many operations, it has even assisted the Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and even West Bengal forest departments to bring in order raging wild elephants that kills humans, destroy crops and create a ruckus and fear among people.'
He said that Kaleem was involved in chasing away at least 100 wild elephants into the forest and said that he was an asset to the forest department of Tamil Nadu. The forest officer also said that the 'Kumki' was gentle and well-mannered and obeyed the orders properly.
Kaleem was brought to the state forest department from Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve when he got separated from his herd when he was six years of age.
The animal, according to its handlers, has expertise in rescuing wild elephants that had fallen into deep pits and also help the department in driving wild elephants away into the forests.
His handler Mani while speaking to IANS said, 'Kaleem is highly adaptable to conditions of terrain and responds positively in any terrain. He was sent to West Bengal in a truck and was there for a month and did his task perfectly.'
The Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve officials said that they would be sending a proposal to the Tamil Nadu forest department soon as he was getting older and needed proper rest.
The department has already trained other Kumki elephants in the STR like, 'Kapildev', 'Rajyavarthan', and 'Syambu' to take on the mantle of Kaleem in the days to come.

“The country’s main challenge is vaccinating a huge population and the increase in dose gaps for Covishield may not be a bad approach to provide protection to cover more people,” he said during an interview with NDTV.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Reuters
Warsaw: Repairs to a pipeline carrying Russian oil to Germany have begun and Poland does not think the incident was sabotage, the top Polish energy security official told Reuters on Thursday.
The discovery of a leak in the main route carrying oil to Germany, which operator PERN said it found on Tuesday evening, came with Europe on high alert over its energy security in the aftermath of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
'Everything points to natural causes, material fatigue, of course the fractured section will be examined. So at this moment we have no information that could point to sabotage,' Mateusz Berger, Secretary of State in charge of strategic energy infrastructure said in a telephone interview.
PERN said it aimed to resume pumping oil to Germany at 'full levels' as quickly as possible, adding the next update on the status of the situation would be published in the evening.
Berger said the leak was caused by a 'relatively large' fracture along the pipeline, adding that repairs have already started. He declined to give further details.
PERN said late on Wednesday it had located the site of the leak and initial findings showed no signs of interference by third parties.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki had earlier on Wednesday told public radio that it was too early to say whether the leak was accidental damage or caused by sabotage.

Ramaphosa while briefing the
media on Wednesday said the implementation of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement
Project has hugely benefited the economy and people of Gauteng.
Outa’s Wayne Duvenage said the
reality is that the e-tolling collection costs have not reduced, the inefficiencies
of the system and the conditions are still in place, and there is debt of about
R7 billion that we have calculated in the construction costs that have not been
Duvenage said nothing has
changed and we continue to advocate society to be strong on this matter and to
do what they have done and that is to collapse the system.
Meanwhile Zwelinzima Vavi in a
statement said government continues to overlook the fact that the campaign
against e-tolls was never just in opposition to the amount being tolled but the
principle of turning a basic public service into a commodity.
Vavi added that the e-toll

Talking to reporters in the sidelines of a party meeting, Abdullah said that the abrogation of article 370 was definitely an assault on the autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir because prior to the abrogation, J&K had autonomous rights.
He said that there were job rights for the people of Jammu and Kashmir while now anyone from outside can get job rights here.
Abdullah said that without assembly, there is no representation of people of Jammu and Kashmir as there is only bureaucracy now.
He also reached out to the leaders who have parted their ways with the party and stated that they should “forgive us if we have committed any mistake and should stand united with the party.”
Replying to a question, he said that it is not his job to make those leaders understand who have some issues with the party, but “I want to appeal them to forgive us and stand united with the party.”
He said that his job is to move forward and work for the welfare of the people. kns


According to a recent report from UNICEF, 67 million children have missed out on vaccinations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a concerning statistic, as it means that many children are not receiving the necessary immunizations to protect them from preventable diseases.
The report also found that there has been a decline in confidence in childhood vaccines due to the pandemic. This is likely due to the fact that many people are uncertain about the safety of vaccines during the pandemic, and are concerned about the potential risks associated with them.
It is important to remember that vaccines are safe and effective, and are an important part of protecting children from preventable diseases. Vaccines are also essential for maintaining herd immunity, which is necessary for protecting vulnerable populations.
It is also important to note that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global health system, and has caused disruptions in the delivery of essential services, including vaccinations. This has resulted in a decrease in the number of children receiving the necessary immunizations.
It is essential that governments and health authorities take steps to ensure that children are able to receive the necessary vaccinations, and that the public is educated about the importance of immunizations. This will help to ensure that children are protected from preventable diseases, and that herd immunity is maintained.


Support for mental health is worse in the public sector compared with the private sector, according to a survey by charity Mind.
The survey of 12,000 employees across both sectors has found that there are more people in the public sector with mental health problems and less support available.
People working in the public sector were three times as likely to say their mental health was poor compared with those in the private sector and more likely to experience anxiety at work.
Public sector workers had taken nearly three days off sick in the last year compared with just one day for workers in the private sector.
Almost half of public sector workers have had time off because of their mental health, compared with less than a third of the private sector workforce.
Paul Farmer, Chief Executive of Mind, said: “This data shows that the public sector in particular is making progress here. But it’s also vital that when people do speak out they get the right help and support at the right time.
"It’s clear there is still a long way to go in both the public and private sector to address the gap between people asking for support and actually getting what they need.
“By promoting wellbeing for all staff, tackling the causes of work-related mental health problems and supporting staff who are experiencing mental health problems, organisations can help keep people at work and create mentally healthy workplaces where people are supported to perform at their best.
“We must see the next government commit to making change, as government and also as an employer themselves.”


A group of socially inept millennials will soon get a new generation of social-media warriors in the form of Netflix.
On Thursday, the streaming service will launch a social media initiative to help young people who are “social outcasts” — people who don’t conform to social conventions — build a following on social media.
Netflix will also hire more than a dozen millennials to help its “Social Outcasts” reach out to its 1.4 billion members, a move that could be a boon for the company as it seeks to boost its popularity among millennials, according to a post by the social media giant on its website.
The company has made strides in its social media efforts in recent years, launching the Twitter-owned app Instagram in 2016 and launching a social network called The Platform last year.
Netflix, though, is the only company to have created its own platform, which is essentially a social news aggregator that allows users to connect with and share content on a variety of platforms.
In 2018, Netflix announced plans to create its own app that would allow its members to create their own content, which could lead to the creation of a more robust social media presence.
Netflix is not the only social media company making a push into the social sphere.
Facebook also launched a platform last year that is focused on making its members more socially aware.
And while Netflix has not announced a plan to expand its social platforms to include the news and information it already has, it has begun expanding its team of staffers in the area.
The platform is part of a broader effort to make social media a more central part of the content and conversation of its members.
Facebook has also invested heavily in building its own community and tools, including its Instant Messenger, a messaging app that offers real-time news updates and events.
Facebook is also planning to expand to more platforms like Snapchat, Snapchat Stories, and its own video-sharing app, which has more than 1 billion daily users.

Ethiopia’s government has mobilised its armed forces in a bid to quell growing violence and unrest in the Oromia region, where police and civilians have been killed.
Troops have been sent to the border between Oromia and the Benishangul Gumuz regional states in western Ethiopia where attacks have escalated.
The decision was made following requests from the two regions to ensure the safety of citizens and enforce the law. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said the federal forces were deployed on the advice of the National Security Council.
Last week the Oromo Democratic Party (ODP), which governs the region, said the group responsible for the violence was turning the region into a “bastion of chaos.”
Oromia regional state president Lemma Megerssa vowed to work with Mr Abiy to bring the perpetrators to justice and bring stability to the region.
Tens of thousands of people have been displaced and more than 100 people, including 11 police officers, have been killed in the conflict that started more than two months ago.
Oromia regional government spokesman Addisu Arega Kitessa said that more than 200 arrests have been made linked to the incidents.
According to a United Nations report published today, Ethiopia has more new conflict-driven internally displaced persons (IDPs) than any other country in the world — more than 1.4 million in 2018 alone.
Of the approximately 2.8 million IDPs in Ethiopia, more than 2.2 million are displaced due to conflict. The remaining 500,000-plus have been driven from their homes by climatic shocks, including drought- and flood-induced food insecurity.
The report said that 8 million people in Ethiopia, including the IDPs, require humanitarian assistance.

Top EU official accuses Russia for worldwide food crisis
(MENAFN) Russia’s dangerous “Hunger games” is only accountable for the worldwide food crisis, European Council Leader Charles Michel announced at the G7 conference held on Sunday.
Presidents of the world's seven wealthiest countries met in Germany for discussions on other restrictions on Russia and the medium- and long-term rebuilding of Ukraine.
In a press conference at the meeting, Michel announced the Kremlin is using food as a "silent weapon of war."
"We must vigorously counter Russia’s propaganda about food and fertilizer prices," he noted,
stating that the EU is standing with the UN's hard work to revive maritime ways in a way that also focuses on Ukraine’s security worries.
He added that worldwide initiatives for food security are also being reinforced. "The EU is working to mobilize nearly €600 million ($634 million) to support the most affected partners."
He as well repeated that the block is dedicated to reinforcing Ukraine's rebuilding.
"With G7 countries, we all share the same goals: to cut the oxygen from Russia’s war machine while taking care of our economies. The EU will stand by Ukraine for the long haul," he went on to declare.

Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Saturday said that the biggest coronavirus was the incumbent illegitimate government and the nation would become healthy again after their removal, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) By John Keating PARIS, Oct 13 (KUNA) -- France on Friday urged restraint on all sides in a potentially volatile standoff between the Iraqi Government and the Kurdish authorities over the oil-rich Kirkuk region, diplomats indicated.
Kirkuk is legally under Iraqi federal authority but is currently under Kurdish control and France is anxious that the differences between the two parties be resolved through dialogue.
Reports on Friday said that there was a claim by Kurdish forces that Iraq was planning a military operation in Kirkuk, a report denied by Baghdad, but Kurdish regional authorities noted they were sending military reinforcements to the zone.
A French Foreign Ministry diplomat, who requested anonymity, told KUNA that Paris was "attentively watching the situation." He said France "reiterates its call for dialogue and calls all parties to refrain from any gesture likely to stoke tensions." France recognizes Iraq's full sovereignty over its territory and has issued several statements in support of Iraqi territorial integrity, saying a solution to the differences must be found within the Iraqi Constitution.
Paris has additionally said the rights of the Kurds must be taken into consideration in the future solution to this issue. (end) jk.msa

PM says changing world public opinion will force Israel to Palestinian rights
He stated this in a video message he released to express solidarity with the people of Palestine against Israeli aggression.
Furthermore, he said social media played a commendable role in reshaping the public opinion.
He said that now voices from western countries are also being heard in favor of Palestinians.
The PM said the world public opinion is changing and for the first time that the voices raised from the West.
Moreover, he said that Western newspapers criticized it.
Their media spoke against it. And politicians also stood against it which I never thought would happen in the United States and Western states
Imran Khan said the social media was the major reason behind that change of world public opinion, which disseminated all the information which the mainstream media censored.
The prime minister said Israel has committed an inhuman aggression by targeting Palestinian worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque on the night of 27 Ramadan, which is very sacred for Muslims.
He said Israeli settlers forcibly evicted some Palestinian families from their own houses.
Ashrafi talks to Arab media
Meanwhile, Special Representative on Religious Harmony Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi said the government will extend every possible cooperation for the reconstruction of Gaza.

LAHORE: Former Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim called on Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar in Lahore Tuesday and discussed matters of mutual interest and the political situation.
Buzdar said his government carried out substantial development in the province, whereas the previous governments relied on theatricality.
He regretted that the past governments destroyed institutions through political interference, whereas the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government made the institutions autonomous and ensured appointments on merit.
He said the culture of bias was weeded out by his government and merit policy was being promoted.
Buzdar said the annual budget for education, health and other social sectors has been increased in the 2021-2022 budget, adding the annual development programme would ensure composite development in every district of the province.
Arbab praised Buzdar’s vision of presenting a “people-friendly” and development focussed budget.
He said Buzdar’s vision for equal development was praiseworthy as the Punjab government created a praiseworthy precedent of presenting separate development packages for every district.
He said the Sindh government can follow the Punjab government’s model of development.
He also appreciated that record development work was carried out in the short span of three years in Punjab.

PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE: PEP) reported that the company’s focus on healthier foods and drinks helped to increase revenue. The company observed that demand for traditional sweet sodas has significantly decreased.
Hugh Johnston, the company’s finance chief, said in an interview that to drive more growth “we’re going to continue doing what we’ve been doing, which is we’ll want to innovate, particularly in the area of lower sugar. We’ll continue to invest behind interesting brands.” MarketWatch reported.
PepsiCo reported that about 45 percent of the company’s net revenue is from, what they called, “guilt-free” products – beverages that have fewer than 70 calories per 12 ounces and snacks that have lower amounts of salt and saturated fat.
The company shares slipped however, due to currency headwinds, which took a toll.
Regarding the company’s guidance for the year of 2017, Hugh Johnston said in a statement, “We certainly feel good about the way the business is performing, but I think it’s fairly undeniable that the world has gone from a volatile place to an even more volatile place over the last six to nine months,” he told CNBC. “So when we give guidance, we certainly look to give cautious guidance to ensure investors understand that we are committed to delivering our guidance and we’ll see how the year progresses.”

QUETTA: Provincial leadership of the opposition Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) said on Friday that the present government had failed to fulfill its promises and its wrong policies had brought the country to the brink of economic disaster.
Speaking at a public meeting organised by the 11-party alliance at the Bacha Khan Chowk, the PDM leaders said the struggle they had launched would continue until the ouster of the rulers who had been “imposed on the country after stealing the people’s mandate in the 2018 elections”.
Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam’s chief Maulana Abdul Wasey, Senator Usman Kakar of the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, Agha Hassan of the Balochistan National Party-Mengal, Khair Jan Baloch of the National Party, Rasheed Khan Nasar of the Awami National Party, Wali Mohammad of the PPP and Abdul Wahab Atal of the PML-N were among the leaders who spoke on the occasion.
The opposition alliance also organised protest meetings and demonstrations in Khuzdar, Gwadar and Hub, where local leaders spoke to the public.
They strongly criticised the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government and its leadership and said their wrong policies had resulted in the country “becoming bankrupt”.
They said that those who had promised to provide 10 million jobs to the people were snatching the existing jobs from them, thus making them think in terms of committing suicide.
They said that despite arrests and “other excesses” committed by the government they would continue their struggle until its logical conclusion.

Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja has asked well-off Ugandans to donate more money to the national COVID-19 task force.
Appearing on NBS Eagle, Sunday evening, Nabbanja said that government needs more hands to contain the second wave of the pandemic.
The prime minister said that all the money that was contributed during the first wave of the pandemic was put to its use, and Ugandans need not worry about accountability.
Nabbanja’s call for more money comes at a time when several sections of the public are still demanding accountability of the over Shs 29 billion that was collected in the first lockdown.
Several media reports have also carried stories of health workers crying out to the government over inadequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) but Nabbanja said that all is not true.
Nabbanja said that all the money that Ugandans will contribute this time will go into buying COVID-19 vaccinations, as government plans to vaccinate at least 50 percent of the population by December this year.
Asked about what she thinks about the voices from the public which claim that the money contributed last year was eaten, Nabbanja said that is an insult to them.
Nabbanja said that the media and Ugandans at large should stop the blame game because Uganda is not different from countries like America and Europe that were also overwhelmed by the pandemic.
She said many people contributed to COVID-19, some gave them cash and they decided to buy vehicles for all districts.
