Did nation vote for PTI to become thugs: CJP

The Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Saqib Nisar on Sunday ordered the authorities to arrest Mansha Bomb, who is accused of operating a land grabbing group in Lahore.

A two-member bench of the apex court was hearing a citizen's petition against the land grabber at the Supreme Court's Lahore Registry.

PTI MNA Malik Karamat Khokhar and MPA Nadeem Abbas were present in court.

As the hearing went under way, the top judge asked, "Who is Mansha Bomb?"

The police superintendent apprised the bench that the man was part of a huge lang grabbing group in Johar Town.

The police superintendent further said that Mansha Bomb along with his sons is accused of illegally grabbing land in Johar Town. "70 cases have been registered against Mansha," the SP said.

"When we took action on the court's orders, we started receiving calls to stop our operation," the police official said.

In response, the chief justice inquired who had called the police officer to ask for favours.

The SP then told the judge that Khokhar had asked the police to not arrest Mansha Bomb.

"Did the nation vote PTI to power to become thugs? Will they make naya Pakistan' by helping criminals?" the chief justice remarked.

Addressing Khokhar, the chief justice said, "If the inquiry proves that you called the police to stop them from arresting Mansha, you will not return back [from the court] as an MNA."

Khokar, however, denied any association with Mansha. He further informed the court that he had not called the SP. "I had called the DIG Operations," Khokar added.

The chief justice then summoned the DIG Operations.

During the hearing, Abbas broke into tears. "The SP has registered false cases against me. I will resign if proven guilty in these cases," he said.

In response, the top judge said: "Why don't you go ahead and resign first? Let me tell you why...because you lack the courage to do so."

"You people become thugs outside the court but shed tears here," Justice Nisar remarked, adding that he will not allow any thug to reside in Pakistan.

Issuing orders to immediately arrest Mansha, the court adjourned the hearing till 3.30pm.

PTI workers' protest in Bani Gala over award of tickets continues on third day

Irate activists of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) continued to protest the distribution of party tickets outside chairman Imran Khan’s Banigala residence for third day (Wednesday). Dozens of workers from various constituencies have gathered outside Khan’s residence, demanding party tickets for their groups. Activists from Multan’s NA-154 constituency are demanding not to allot the ticket to Sikander Bosin. Workers from NA-51 FATA are also speaking against the award of tickets. The protesters have urged Khan to review the distribution of tickets to the candidates. They have asked to provide them to ideological workers instead of para-shooters. Earlier, the party delayed the announcement of candidates for remaining constituencies for 72 hours. A meeting of the party’s parliamentary board was also held on Tuesday. The members are scheduled to announce the new candidates after three days. The scrutiny process of candidates is also likely to continue for the next two days in the contro

How US Birthright Citizenship Emerged, Endured

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants to end a constitutional right that automatically grants citizenship to any baby born in the United States. Trump, in an interview with "Axios on HBO,'' said his goal is halting guaranteed citizenship for babies of noncitizens and unauthorized immigrants. U.S. citizenship through birth comes via the 14th Amendment , which was ratified after the Civil War to secure U.S. citizenship for newly freed black slaves. It later was used to guarantee citizenship to all babies born on U.S. soil after court challenges. Here is a look at the Citizenship Clause and how citizens worked to be included in it throughout U.S. history: The 14th Amendment In the aftermath of the Civil War, radical Republicans in Congress sought to push through a series of constitutional protections for newly emancipated black slaves. The 13th Amendment, which was ratified in December 1865, outlawed slavery. The 14th Amendment, ratified in July 1868, assured cit

Pakistan look to avoid whitewash in final ODI against Australia

Australia will look to end the five-match ODI series with a clean sweep whereas Pakistan will aim to salvage some pride when the two sides face off in the fifth and final fixture at Dubai today. After a thrashing in the first three matches, Pakistan showed some improvement in the fourth ODI on Friday but became the first team in ODI history to lose while chasing a target below 280 despite two centuries. Needing 278 to win, Pakistan were brought close to their target by debutant Abid Ali's 112 and Mohammad Rizwan's 104, but in the end the twin hundreds were in vain as they failed to score a required 17 off Marcus Stoinis' last over. Glenn Maxwell missed a second career hundred by just two runs, Usman Khawaja scored 62 and Alex Carey 55 as Australia posted 277-7 in their 50 overs. Abid Ali, only drafted into the side two hours before the start after Imam-ul-Haq went down with fever, became the 15th batsman to score a hundred on ODI debut. Salim Elahi (102 not out v Sri
