Ahsanullah Virk, a member of parliament, filed a petition against the Election Commission of Pakistan’s order to recount the votes in NA-79. The appeal was considered by a single bench of the high court, which is composed of Justice Shahid Karim.

The bench allowed the appeal and overturned the ECP’s directive to recount the votes cast in the constituency.

Previously, the attorney for the electoral body asked for more time to obtain guidelines from the ECP.

“Notification has already been sent out by the electoral commission. The bench stated, “The decision is in front of us; the time could have been granted over an ambiguity on the issue.”

The bench said, “The election commission’s decisions are shocking; the ECP should not have allowed this to happen.”

The petitioner’s attorney had earlier requested to view the returning officer’s report from the bench.

Justice Shahid Karim questioned, “Why is all of this happening in Gujranwala?”

To stop begging in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan would implement a stringent Umrah regulation.

The action, according to details, is intended to stop the begging mafia from damaging Pakistan’s reputation in the holy land.

As part of its severe efforts against beggars, the Ministry of Religious Affairs has planned to require pilgrims to sign an affidavit vowing not to beg before leaving for Umrah. Those who violate this affidavit will face strict legal action.

Umrah pilgrims will not be permitted to travel alone; they must travel in groups in order to further discourage begging. This measure ensures that pilgrims are accountable for their actions and are less likely to engage in begging.

In order to discourage begging, tour companies will also have to get pilgrims to sign affidavits.

According to sources, the administration is committed to resolving this issue because begging has damaged Pakistan’s ties with Saudi Arabia.

Four travel agents were arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for sending residents to Saudi Arabia to beg during raids in different parts of Multan.

Mohammad Ejaz, Ghulam, Ghulam Yaseen, and Sadiq Hussain were among the agents that were arrested, according to an FIA official.

The representative clarified that the information from previously detained people was the basis for these arrests.

The agents were allegedly sending citizens to Saudi Arabia with the purpose of begging and then collecting a share of the money earned through begging.

SHC Justice Zafar Rajput said during Monday’s hearing of a petition against the unlawful construction of a plaza next to Mazar-e-Quaid that “everything has been fair in love and Pakistan.”

“Can you believe over an advertisement in Pakistani conditions?” the justice of the Sindh High Court asked during the hearing.

In Jamshed Town, the petitioner’s attorney said that an unlawful plaza was being constructed over a plot of land. “It has violated the sacredness of Quaid’s mausoleum,” the attorney stated.

The attorney argued that advertisements for the project’s booking have already been published. “What happens when advertisements are published?” the bench asked. The lawyer stated, “Layman will consider the project as lawful after these advertisements are published.”

After calling for additional arguments regarding the petition’s maintainability, the judge postponed the hearing for three weeks.
