Once again the Pakistan Ulema Council under the leadership of Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi gave a “Fatwa” to support colonialist rule, this time endorsing the building of a Hindu temple in Islamabad on state expense.

Struck by the Coronavirus disease pandemic, the heart of Pakistan’s economy, Karachi, has been crushed by the power sector. Whenever summer peaks, K-Electric starts cutting electricity supply, whilst overbilling breaks the backs of the people.

The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President, Sardar Masood Khan, on 24 June 2020, urged the Muslims to make Occupied Kashmir part of Pakistan, by saying, “The area now occupied by India is actually a part of Pakistan as its people had wished to accede to Pakistan and despite all efforts of India to coerce them into submission they have rejected their rule and writ.”
