July 8, 2021
Former president Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday remarked that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif’s domicile is ‘better’ than his, in a veiled assertion that he is being treated unfairly due to his ethnicity, a private TV channel reported.
Speaking outside the Islamabad High Court (IHC), where he appeared for a bail hearing, Zardari was asked to give his opinion on whether the laws are different for him and the PML-N leader. “Mian Sahab’s domicile is better than mine,” he responded.
When asked whether he would advise Nawaz to return to Pakistan, the PPP stalwart said he would not give anyone any advice, but if someone wants to, they can.

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday rejected a request to hear former president Asif Ali Zardari’s pre-arrest bail plea in New York apartment case in absentia.
A division bench of the IHC comprising Chief Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Aamer Farooq heard the pre-arrest bail, while an application for Zardari’s exemption from court attendance on medical grounds was also filed, a private TV channel reported.
Zardari had filed a plea for pre-arrest bail after the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) opened an investigation into a New York apartment allegedly owned by Zardari.
During the hearing, Zardari’s lawyer Farooq H Naik pleaded that the former president couldn’t appear before the court due to health problems. He prayed the court to grant him bail in NAB inquiry in his absence. He contended that Zardari is under treatment at a private hospital in Karachi.

In a congested lane of the famous Qissa Khwani Bazaar (market of storytellers) in Peshawar, Pakistan, stands a two-storey house where a boy was born on December 11, 1922. Named Muhammad Yusuf Khan, he would grow up to be recognised as the first Khan of Indian cinema – long before the other three Khans, Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman, even appeared on the planet. We would know him as Dilip Kumar, the screen name he adopted on the advice of Devika Rani, the first lady of the Indian film industry. After a momentous cinematic journey and an eventful life that was no less than a film story in itself, Dilip Kumar breathed his last at 7.30 am on July 7, 2021 at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai where he was admitted since June 30 after he complained of breathlessness. He was 98. He is survived by his wife, actor Saira Banu.
