PM’s decision to withdraw from tobacco firm’s webinar lauded Dawn 10 hrs ago none@none.com (Kalbe Ali)
ISLAMABAD: Health advocates on Sunday lauded Prime Minister Imran Khan for withdrawing from a webinar that was being organised by an international tobacco company, terming it “the government’s commitment towards controlling tobacco use in the country”.
They said the prime minister’s attendance would have sent a wrong message to the international community as this was a violation of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).
Country representative of Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids Malik Imran said this was a positive development and showed the prime minister’s commitment towards controlling tobacco use in the country, especially among youth.
Imran orders fresh probe into Hudaibya case against Sharifs Dawn 2 days ago none@none.com (Syed Irfan Raza)
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday directed his legal team to ensure fresh investigation into the Hudaibya Paper Mills (HPM) case against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif and other members of the family.
The government also decided to challenge the recent Lahore High Court (LHC) decision to grant bail to the opposition leader along with the permission to go abroad for medical treatment.
While strongly opposing the PM’s decision, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) said his statement proved that all cases against the Sharifs were part of political vengeance. The opposition recalled that the Supreme Court had already quashed an appeal and upheld the LHC’s decision in 2014 that had disposed of the case in favour of the Sharif family.
