Minister Shah Mahmood 

Qureshi on Sunday ruled 

out the possibility of 

Governor’s Rule in Sindh 

saying that an elected 

government was in power 

in the province. 

Talking to media persons 

here, Shah 

Mahmood Qureshi said it 

was a baseless news that 

the government was 

going to impose 

Governor’s rule in Sindh. 

The Foreign Minister 

said that All Parties 

Conference (APC) always 

had an agenda in the past 

but the APC being proposed 

by the opposition 

does not have any agenda 

which was beyond one’s 

comprehension. 

To a question, Qureshi 

said the problems faced 

by the country have not 

been created in last 60 

days adding that masses 

were well-aware of the 

fact that who was responsible 

for these issues. He 

said that onus of various 

problems including economic 

woes didn’t lie on 

PTI-led government. 

To another question, he 

replied that the institutions

No change without breaking chains 

of holy heroes: Dr. Mubarak Ali 

Abbas Kassar 

H Y D E R A B A D : 

Prominent historian Dr 

Mubarak Ali has said that 

sufism and nationalism 

have been pushing people 

towards backwardness as 

both of them (nationalism 

and sufism) are against 

teachings of great philosopher 

Karl Marx. 

He said that until people 

broke chains of old traditions, 

holy heroes and institutions, 

there could be no 

change, no sustainable 

democracy and no real politics 

in the society. He said 

that he always taught his 

students in classrooms not 

to follow footsteps of their 

elders, but they must work 

harder and follow their own 

footsteps. He quoted a foreign 

writer as saying that 

dead should not be allowed 

to rule the living. 

He said this while delivering 

a lecture at program 

titled: “the 200th birth 

anniversary of Karl Marx , 

1818-2018,” organized by 

Communist Party of 

Pakistan. (CPP) secretary 

general comrade Imdad 

Qazi, moderated by CPP 

local leader comrade Iqbal 

held at the local press club 

on Sunday evening. 

Dr Mubarak Ali said 

that he wanted to say two 

things especially about 

Sindh as people are frequently 

speaking about 

sufism and nationalism. 

“Karl Marx said and 

conveyed the message that 

workers of the world unite 

without any discrimination. 

It means that he was against 

nationalism. He spoke of 

difference-cum-importance 

about rich and poor, prosperous 

and oppressed people. 

Such rising nationalist 

movements in Sindh, 

Punjab, Balochistan and 

Kyber Pakhtunkhwa are 

just attempts to abolish 

class-based consciousness. 

We should try to dispel this 

sense of nationalism in the 

society. 

Are supplements safe and do they work? 

ISLAMABAD: The 

story of a man who ended 

up needing a liver transplant 

after taking green tea capsules 

has brought the topic 

of dietary supplements back 

into the news. What are 

some of the dangers of supplements 

and what are the 

health benefits? 

When Jim McCants 

started taking green tea pills 

he had hoped he was giving 

his health a shot in the arm. 

Instead, it appears the 

pills caused such serious 

damage to his liver that it 

required an urgent transplant. 

Experts point out that 

experiences like that of Mr 

McCants, are "extremely 

unusual". 

In the UK, supplements 

are subject to EU regulations 

over their safety and 

the health claims manufacturers 

make about the products. 

Approved supplements 

bought from reputable businesses 

are almost always 

going to be safe, provided 

the manufacturer's instructions 

are followed, doctors 

say. 

But it is wrong to assume 

that food supplements do 

not sometimes have the 

potential to be harmful, says 

Dr Wayne Carter, from the 

University of Nottingham. 

If you take supplements 

in quantities above recommended 

levels there are 

risks. 

While in many cases 

excess levels of a supplement 

will be excreted, 

there is the potential for it 

to be toxic, particularly to 

the liver, which detoxifies 

the substances we consume. 

"I think sometimes the 

idea that people take on 

board is 'this is good for 

me, therefore if I take even 

more of it, it will be even 

better'," Dr Carter says. 

Shikarpur could remain 

healthy. 

Agha Muneer Ahmed 

Pathan, a healthy youth 

develops healthy atmosphere 

while there is dire 

need of healthy atmosphere, 

besides he 

acclaimed the efforts of 

youths and offered their 

full support for healthy 

activities for the larger 

interests of the youths of 

Shikarpur. 

Besides, SSP 

Shikarpur also registered 

himself as a member and 

assured he would regularly 

take exercise at fitness

OPINION 

Arbaeen message is ‘unity’, ‘amity’ 

among Muslims against tyranny 

Rasheed Ahmad Chughtai 

Unity, amity and solidarity 

among Muslims is the 

message of Arbaeen 

(which marks forty days after the 

Day of Ashura when Imam 

Hussain (AS) and his true companions 

were martyred in the battlefield 

in Karbala).the universal 

message of Arbaeen is this that all Muslims and non- 

Muslims are united with one another for combating 

oppression and arrogant movement.There are very 

few mass gatherings in the world today which are 

entire peaceful and which do not result in the loss of 

life, and in fact, according to Wikipedia – “the Free 

Encyclopedia” - of the five gatherings globally seeing 

over 10 million people, four were in Karbala: 

Arbaeen (Arbayeen) means "forty" in Arabic, or 

Chehlum, as it is known by Urdu-speaking 

Muslims, is a Shia religious observation that occurs 

40 days after the Day of Ashura (Aashura/Ashurah), 

the commemoration of the martyrdom by beheading 

of Imam Husayn Ibn Ali (as), the grandson of the 

Prophet Muhammad (saw) which falls on the 20th 

day of the second month of the Islamic Lunar 

Calendar called as Safar. Imam Husayn Ibn Ali (as) 

and 72 supporters died in the Battle of Karbala in the 

year 61 AH (680 CE). Forty days is the usual length 

of the time of mourning in many Islamic cultures. 

Number forty is mystic in Theosophy. According 

to the Islamic culture if someone practices a good 

deed constantly during forty days, it would be his 

inseparable attribute and lead to descending of 

Allah's blessing. In some religions forty days and 

forty nights praying has been special position. 

When Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) prayed forty 

nights; found the ability to hear the words of Allah 

(SWT), "And when We appointed a time of forty 

nights with Musa, then you took the calf (for a god) 

after him and you were unjust." [Glorious Quran 

2:51] 

Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, "Whoever dedicates 

himself to Allah (SWT) for forty days, will 

find springs of wisdom sprout out of his heart and 

flow on his tongue." 

Commemorating of the fortieth day of deeds by 

their family and giving alms is one of the common 

customs among some of the Muslims. 

The 40th [Arbaeen (Arbayeen) or Chehlum] 

marks an important turning point in the movement 

of Karbala (Kerbala). This day, which is no less 

important to the day of Ashura (Aashura/Ashurah) is 

important for many reasons - the prime being that 

the Ahlul Bayt reached the land of Karbala on this 

day and performed the visitation to Sayyid ash- 

Shuhada al-Husayn (as) and the loyal family and 

friends who gave their life for the cause of Islam. 

Although the historians differ on when this event 

transpired; some say it was in the same year of the 

massacre in Karbala in the year 61 AH, whilst other 

say it was in the following year 62 AH. Whatever 

the case, the atrocities and difficulties which the 

family of Prophet Muhammad (saw) was put 

through in the court of Yazid and the long ride to 

Karbala culminated on the 20th of Safar on the 

empty plains of Karbala. 

According to most widely accepted traditions, 

the family of Prophet Muhammad (saw) remained in 

captivity for about a year in Damascus by Yazid, the 

Umayyad Caliph. After one year when the ruler of 

Shaam (Syria) were forced to release them, 

BibiZainab (sa) said to Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn as- 

Sajjad (as) that she wanted to go back to Karbala to 

mourn his brother and all the martyrs of Karbala. 

The same was desired by other women of this caravan 

and Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn as-Sajjad (as) 

directed them towards Karbala. 

The occasion of Arbaeen (Arbayeen) or Chehlum 

reminds the faithful of the core message behind 

Imam Husayn's martyrdom: establishing justice and 

fighting injustice, no matter what its incarnation - a 

message that strongly influenced subsequent Shia 

uprisings against the tyranny of Umayyad and 

Abbasid rule. 

These forty days are a suitable opportunity for 

people to develop the love of Imam Husayn (as) and 

hate his murderers, in their hearts. Forty consecutive 

days, from Ashura up to Arbaeen, also is a national 

ceremony of aversion announcement from oppressors 

of the history. 

O Husayn, commemoration of your revolution 

from Ashura up to Arbaeen makes the world pay 

attention to the message of the resurrection. Ashura 

is martyrdom day of the history makers and Arbaeen 

is pilgrimage day of Ashura makers. 

Arbaeen philosophy shows itself, and we can 

teach martyrdom lesson from this class and prepare 

ourselves in order to help our master Imam Mahdi 

(as) [May Allah hasten his reappearance]. 

As a sign of loyalty to the martyrs, we have been 

ordered to recite the Ziyarat of Arbaeen on the day 

of Arbaeen. 

The grave of Imam Husayn Ibn Ali (as) was not 

desolate as some may expect. Rather, as the Ahlul 

Bayt were approaching Karbala, there were a few 

people already at the grave, marking his martyrdom 

with tears. The individual, who had been a companion 

of Prophet Muhammad (saw) - Jabir ibne 

Abdullah al-Ansari (who at this point was blind) - 

along with his assistant (Atiyya bin Saad), had made 

the trek from Madina to the place of martyrdom of 

his Imam and master, Imam Husayn Ibn Ali (as). 

Jabir ibne Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) called out to his 

Imam, "I testify that you are the son of the Seal of 

the Prophets, the son of the Master of the Faithful, 

the son of the inseparable ally of piety, the descendant 

of guidance." His servant, Atiyya bin Saad 

noted to him that he could see a caravan of people in 

the distance and they were approaching this sacred 

site. As they approached, they realized that this was 

none other than the caravan of present Imam, Ali ibn 

al-Husayn as-Sajjad (as) with the other family members 

and assistants! 

The historians note that at this point, Jabir ibne 

Abdullah al-Ansari (ra) and his assistant, Atiyya bin 

Saad, moved out of the way so that the women of the 

Ahlul Bayt and the others could show their grief at 

the sacred grave in privacy and according to reports, 

the heads of the martyrs were also buried at this 

point in time - as before leaving Shaam (Syria), they 

were given back the sacred heads of the martyrs. 

Ziyarat, as we all know is a visitation, which in 

essence, is the act of speaking with and visiting our 

role models. Of course the physical manifestation of 

the Ziyarat is actually being present in Karbala to 

perform the Ziyarat-E-Arbaeen, but, in reality, that 

is not possible for every believer. So, does making 

Ziyarat while not in Karbala give one the same benefits? 

Ahadith tell us that performing the Ziyarat of 

Imam Husayn (as) far from Karbala would hold the 

same significance as being in the land of Karbala, as 

long as the person performing the Ziyarat has truly 

understood the status of the Imam Husayn (as) and 

seeks to emulate him. 

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as) states that the 

heavens wept over Imam Husayn (as) for forty 

mornings, rising red and setting red. As we complete 

40 days of remembrance of our Imam, we re-assert 

our pledge of obedience and loyalty to him, 

"I bear witness that you are the Imam (who is) the 

upright, the pious, well-pleased (with Allah), the 

pure, the guide and the rightly-guided. I bear witness 

that you fulfilled the pledge of Allah and you struggled 

in His way.I am a friend of whoever befriends 

him ..." 

By performing the Ziyarat-E-Arbaeen, we pledge 

that we will continue to follow the path of justice 

and righteousness and will reject injustice and speak 

up against the oppressors of the time; I am an enemy 

of whoever is his enemy... 

In essence, we make a promise to continue to 

mold our lives according to the teaching of Imam 

Husayn (as). But why is it that we mourn and 

remember Imam Husayn (as) for a period of forty 

days and then move on? 

Our Prophet Muhammad (saw) has said, "The 

earth mourns the death of a believer for forty mornings." 

Therefore it appears that the deceased should 

be remembered and mourned over for a period of 

forty days. Performing an act for a continuous period 

of forty days is also known to help one to not just 

form a habit, but also to carry on the practice for the 

rest of his life. 

If we look at studies dealing with bringing a 

lifestyle change, we notice the time period emphasized 

to bring about a change is usually 6 weeks 

which is about the same time period as 40 days (to 

be exact it is 42 days). 

In the book 40 Days to Personal Revolution: A 

Breakthrough Program to Radically Change Your 

Body and Awaken the Sacred Within Your Soul, the 

author Baron Baptiste explains the significance of 

forty days: 

Why forty days? Because the number 40 holds 

tremendous spiritual significance in the realm of 

transformation. Jesus wandered in the desert for 

forty days in order to experience purification and 

come to a greater understanding of himself and his 

mission. Moses and his people traveled through the 

desert for forty years before arriving at their home in 

the holy land. Noah preserved the sacredness of life 

by sailing his ark for forty days and forty nights. 

According to the Kabbalah, the ancient Jewish mystical 

text, it takes forty days to ingrain any new way 

of being into our system... 

Reciting particular Duas for a period of 40 

days is highly recommended in our practices as 

well. The unit 40 (forty) is said to be very effective. 

If a particular Dua is recited 40 times, or 40 

people gather to recite it, or it is recited for 40 

days then its effectiveness is highly increased. 

It is reported from Imam JafferSadiq (as) that 

whoever recites Dua-E-Ahad for forty days, after 

morning prayers will be amongst the helpers of 

the 12th Imam Mahdi (as). Visitation of the shrine 

of Imam Husayn (as) as well as Masjid-E-Sahla 

for 40 consecutive Thursdays is also very highly 

recommended and is one of the acts that promises 

a visit from the 12th Imam Mahdi (as). 

Thus, as we perform the Ziyarat-E-Arbaeen 

and commemorate the Arba'een, 40 days of 

mourning of Imam Husayn (as), we hope and pray 

that this forty days of remembrance of Imam 

Husayn (as), brings about a transformation in us 

by which we can continue to follow the path of 

Imam Husayn (as) and carry on his message of 

upholding justice with true faith and a strong 

sense of sacrifice!

Terrorists organizations once again terrorize Khyber 

Pakhtunkhwa and speed up terrorism across the country, 

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the people of Pakistan were 

badly effected by the terrorists.Threats are being sent to 

political parties representatives, police officers and journalists 

on daily basis and they are being killed which is 

a bad act for the country and the people. Pakistan 

Tehreek-e-Taliban, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and other Taliban 

organizations have started blasts in the name of Islam 

and Sharia in the country,Are Pakistani people not 

Muslims? Is muslim an enemy of muslim? what is the 

crime of women and innocent children? Is it permissible 

in islam to kill innocent muslim? If the answer is No 

then the Taliban are surely unaware about the right path 

of Allah and sharia instructions. Is it permissible in 

Sharia to kill the Muslims, bomb Muslims? In islam 

Muslim is brother of another Muslim and the status of 

position respectively. Mehwish Solangi performed the 

duty of stage Secretary during program. Chief guests 

including Gobind Ram urf papu soonaro, Dayal Dass, 

Sir Shakeel khanzada, Tarique Rajput and shabeer 

Ahmed rajput addressed also and told that struggle of sir 

vijay kumar is mind blowing because he has been fighting 

for education since many years and he is brilliant 

teacher of English language. 

OPINION 

Taliban and Sharia 

brother is very high in islam but today's Muslim is being 

proud of killing his Muslim brother. Has Allah, Islam, 

and the sharia law taught us to kill brother, innocent children, 

women and bomb Muslims? A murder of a 

Muslim in Islam has been declared as a murder of 

humanity, but we Muslims are unaware of this 

fact.Terrorist organizations should fearAllah's anger and 

the people you are attacking, bombing, killing and 

threatening them are actually Muslims,Which religion 

allows massacre of muslims.Explosion on women,children,elders, 

health and educational institutions are so sad 

and condemnable but government institutions are silent 

spectacle about it which is a swing mark on the current 

government.The present government has yet to make 

any legal action against terrorist elements,Taliban organizations 

and other terrorists.We are all united in the fight 

against terrorism and will remain united and will make 

every effort to root out terrorism.

Iran's Khamenei calls for fight 

against enemy 'infiltration' 

TEHRAN: Leader of the 

Islamic Revolution 

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali 

Khamenei has emphasized 

the increasing importance of 

passive defense in the face 

of the new threats posed by 

the Islamic Republic's enemies. 

Ayatollah Khamenei 

made the remarks in a meeting 

on Sunday with the head 

and senior officials of Iran's 

Passive Defense 

Organization. 

The Leader said, “In the 

face of sophisticated methods 

used by enemies’in their 

onslaught, the passive 

defense must be totally vigilant 

and serious.” 

The Leader added that 

Iran's Passive Defense 

Organization must find scientific, 

accurate, updated 

and comprehensive ways to 

fend off all kinds of infiltration 

by enemies in the country.

JOHANNESBURG: 

South African Public 

Enterprises Minister Pravin 

Gordhan said on Sunday 

that efforts to clean up corruption 

in state-owned companies 

(SOCs) faced “dangerous” 

resistance which 

threatened the country’s sovereignty. 

Gordhan, a former 

finance minister, has been 

to pay due attention to the 

importance of passive 

defense, adding, “If the 

country’s officials do not 

understand the importance 

of this issue and passive 

defense is not developed in a 

South Africa's Gordhan says anti-graft 

efforts face 'dangerous fightback' 

tasked by President Cyril 

Ramaphosa with cleaning 

up SOCs such as power utility 

Eskom, which suffered 

misgovernance under former 

president Jacob Zuma. 

In an opinion piece in the 

Sunday Times newspaper, 

Gordhan said that new 

boards had started to address 

“the depth of corruption and 

criminal behavior that seems 

to have become endemic in 

these institutions.” 

“But the dangerous and 

unscrupulous fightback 

against our reform efforts 

continues. If we allow this 

fightback to prevail, we risk 

losing our sovereignty,” he 

said, without naming who 

was behind the backlash. 

Central American caravan moves 

on in spite of Mexico jobs offer 

ARRIAGA, Mexico: A 

U.S.-bound caravan of 

Central American migrants 

pressed on through southern 

Mexico on Saturday, in 

spite of government offers 

of jobs, as authorities 

stepped up efforts to disperse 

the convoy that has 

angered U.S. President 

Donald Trump. 

Mexican police in riot 

gear briefly blocked the 

march of men, women and 

children as they neared 

Oaxaca state before dawn, 

to relay the offer of temporary 

identification papers, 

jobs or education for those 

seeking asylum in Mexico. 

Trump has threatened to 

send troops to the U.S. 

border and cut aid to 

Central America to try to 

stop the group of several 

thousand people that left 

Honduras two weeks ago. 

Estimates vary significantly 

on the group’s size, 

which has morphed as 

some migrants return 

home and newcomers join. 

At least 150 migrants traveling 

separately were 

detained by Friday near 

Guatemala’s border, a 

Mexican official said. 

More than 1,700 people 

in the convoy have applied 

for asylum, while others 

have returned home, 

according to Mexico’s 

government. The 

Honduran ambassador said 

on Friday the group officially 

had 3,500 members. 

Other estimates go much 

higher. 

Chinese privately developed 

rocket fails to reach orbit 

BEIJING: A privately 

developed Chinese carrier 

rocket failed to reach orbit 

after lifting off from Jiuquan 

Satellite Launch Center on 

Saturday, in a blow to the 

country’s nascent attempts 

by private companies to rival 

Elon Musk’s SpaceX. 

The three-stage rocket, 

Zhuque-1, was developed by 

Beijing-based Landspace. 

The company said in a 

microblog post after nominal 

first and second stages that 

the spacecraft failed to reach 

orbit as a result of an issue 

with the third stage. 

“Before Zhuque carrier 

rocket was launched, its mission 

was already completed,” 

the company said in the 

post on Saturday, without 

giving further details. 

Landspace was founded 

in 2015 and soon aimed to be 

the first Chinese private 

company to deliver a satellite 

into orbit. The company said 

it was the first private 

licensed company in China 

to launch carrier rockets. 

Zhuque-1 was carrying a 

satellite named “Future” 

built for state media China 

Central Television. 

In May, China launched 

“Chongqing Liangjiang 

Star” into space, the first 

rocket developed by Beijingbased 

private firm OneSpace

Washington planned to quit 

the Intermediate-Range 

Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty 

which Mikhail Gorbachev,

Ronald Reagan had signed

Washington has cited 

Russia’s alleged violation of 

the treaty as its reason for

Washington of breaking 

the pact.

BOURNE: Thousands of 

people stopped traffic in the 

heart of Sydney yesterday, 

while hundreds of protesters 

in Melbourne rallied against 

the federal government’s 

offshore detention centers. 

A refugee calling from 

Manus Island has told a 

rally in Melbourne he’s suffering 

in a state of limbo as 

thousands gathered around 

Australia to protest the government’s 

treatment of asylum 

seekers. 

The asylum seeker told 

the Melbourne protest he 

and those with him had 

experienced five years of 

suffering and hopelessness: 

“We need action. We need 

to move away from this 

to Prague. 

He will be meeting with 

his Czech counterpart and 

Prime Minister Andrej Babis 

during a short trip to Prague. 

Mattis said ministers 

from NATO would be 

meeting in Brussels in 

December and at that point 

he would have some kind 

of “culminating point.” 

European members of

than quit it, diplomats said, 

seeking to avoid a split in

state of limbo,” he said. 

Among the crowd in 

Sydney was Australian rock 

icon Jimmy Barnes, who 

said he felt compelled to 

bring his family to Hyde 

Park and rally against offshore 

detention. 

“People are living in 

detention with no hope, with 

no future, nothing to live 

for, nothing to strive for, 

nothing to dream about, it’s 

criminal,” Barnes said. 

“The behaviors of our 

government and the government 

before it, our 

politicians, have been disgusting; 

Australia was 

becoming “a joke” on the 

world stage.” 

In Melbourne, Refugee 

Action Collective co-chairman 

David Glanz said he 

and others felt they’d been 

hitting their heads on a 

brick wall. 

“You ask yourself how 

we can be in a situation 

where children are resigning 

themselves to death 

under the so-called protection 

of the Australian government,” 

he told hundreds 

of supporters. “Well, today 

I think we can say we are 

beginning to see the cracks 

in that wall.”

the young people, in the 

name of all of us adults: 

forgive us if often we have 

not listened to you, if, 

instead of opening our 

hearts, we have filled your 

ears,” Francis said in a 

lighter part of the homily 

of the Mass, which he cocelebrated 

with dozens of 

the bishops who took part 

in the synod. 

But he also went to the 

heart of accusations 

against him by some conservatives 

in the Church 

who say he has watered 

down emphasis on doctrinal 

matters and Church 

rules in favor of social 

issues such as migration, 

poverty and the environment. 

In his homily, he said 

both were necessary. 

“Faith passes through 

life. When faith is concerned 

purely with doctrinal 

formulae, it risks 

speaking only to the head 

without touching the 

heart,” he said. 

Thousands of protesters stop traffic in Sydney & Melbourne 

Australia. 

Eleven children were 

evacuated earlier this week, 

leaving 52 on the island. 

Refugee advocates say 

another four kids have since 

left Nauru. Morrison said 

about 30 people had been 

taken off Nauru over the 

last few weeks. 

“Those numbers have 

been coming down and we 

will continue to work on 

that,” Morrison told 

reporters in Sydney. 

“We have just been getting 

on and doing it like a 

responsible and compassionate 

government should.”

that Australia could have

KARACHI: Pakistan 

maintains its record of playing 

every final of the Asian 

Champions Trophy. 

They managed to beat 

Malaysia after an exciting 

semi final at the Fifth Hero 

Asian Champions Trophy 

Hockey Tournament at the 

Sultan Qaboos Sports 

Complex in Muscat, Oman. 

Malaysia had clawed 

back from being 1-4 down 

to level it in the 56th minute. 

The shootout was equally 

exciting. However, luck 

favoured Pakistan. 

Two days back, when the 

two sides met in their last 

round robin match, there 

was almost nothing at stake 

but today it was for the place 

in the final. 

Pakistan has appeared in 

all the previous four finals 

while Malaysia had always 

finished third in the previous 

editions of the ACT. It 

was a thriller throughout. 

Pakistan's skipper 

Rizwan Sr had to sit out 

because of a hamstring 

injury. 

The game got to a sensational 

start. In only the second 

minute, Malaysia captalised 

from some clumsy 

Pakistani defence near the 

23 metre area to go ahead. 

Faizal Saari, their all time 

top scorer, sprinted into the 

circle and dived to put the 

ball through the pads of an 

advancing Imran Butt. 

The green shirts recovered 

immediately and were 

level within three minutes. 

A fine raid culminated in 

Ajaz Ahmad, sending an 

inch perfect square pass 

from the left side of the circle, 

to M.Irfan Jr who made 

no mistake from close 

range. 

The up and down stuff 

continued with two penalty 

corners coming to each side. 

Pakistan's ace PC expert 

Aleem Bilal rifled the second 

to the roof of the net. 

They soon extended the 

lead. A loose ball due to a 

Malaysian blunder was well 

taken by Abubakr whose 

superb flat back hander 

went beneath the onrushing 

goal keeper. 

So It was 3-1 for 

Pakistan after the first 15 

minutes. 

Five minutes later, 

another PC ripper from

Sunday said. 

The signing ceremony 

Islamabad: The Pakistan 

Economy Watch (PEW) on 

Sunday said the upcoming visit of 

Prime Minister Imran Khan can 

result in various deals which will 

help stabilize our troubled economy. 

The US has started a cold war 

against China, it is pressurizing 

Pakistan, using India against 

China and Pakistan and damaging 

global economic order, it said. 

In the given scenario, Pakistan 

was witnessed by Reem Al 

Hashimy, Minister of State 

for International 

Cooperation and Director 

General, EXPO-2020 and 

Advisor to Prime Minister 

on Commerce, Textile, 

Industry & Production and 

Investment Abdul Razak 

Dawood. 

The contract signing 

formally started activities 

for construction of 

Pakistan Pavilion in 

EXPO-2020 which 

would be built on a large 

sized plot in the 

Opportunity District. 

The pavilion would be 

based on the ‘Emerging 

Pakistan’ theme, having 

and China need each other to confront 

threats which is only possible 

when Islamabad is backed by a 

stable economy, said Dr. Murtaza 

Mughal, President PEW. 

The outcome of the visit of PM 

Khan could be new deals worth 

billions of dollars, a package to 

improve the balance of payments 

crisis while Beijing can also help 

IMF relax loan conditions for 

Pakistan, he said. 

Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that 

representation from all 

provinces. 

Speaking on the occasion, 

Advisor to Prime 

Minister on Commerce, 

Textile, Industry & 

Production and Investment 

Abdul Razak Dawood said 

Pakistan attached great 

importance to its relations 

with UAE and that looked 

forward to making its participation 

most meaningful 

in line with the EXPO 

theme of ‘Connecting 

Minds, Creating the 

Future’. 

He said the EXPO-2020 

was not only a UAE specific 

event but was an 

exposition of the whole 

region. 

“We have already started 

the Design phase of the 

Pakistan Pavilion reflecting 

the true potentials of 

Pakistan. The Prime 

Minister has constituted a 

high level steering committee 

having representation 

from private and public 

sector stakeholders for 

effective participation,” he 

added. 

The advisor noted that 

the last month’s visit of 

Prime Minister Imran 

Khan and his meeting with 

Sheikh Muhammad Bin 

Zayed Al Nahyan set the 

bilateral relation on a new 

course. 

Chinese companies are facing 

problems due to US sanctions, 

therefore, Pakistan can offer them 

help in relocation to Pakistan 

while investment in other sectors 

can be persuaded. 

Chinese investment in the agricultural 

sector could be sought to 

develop this sector and improve 

the trade balance by exporting 

agricultural products to China. 

Both the countries can tackle 

doubts over CPEC and decide to 

Both sides agreed to 

transform this special relationship 

into strategic partnership 

between the two 

countries. 

As a follow-up of the 

understanding reached 

between the leadership, a 

15-member delegation 

headed by Sultan Bin 

Ahmad Sultan Al Jabar, 

Minister of State and CEO 

of Abu Dhabi National Oil 

Company visited Pakistan 

to explore the ways and 

means to enhance cooperation 

between the two countries 

in economic development, 

infrastructure, energy, 

agriculture and petrochemicals 

sectors. 

PM Imran’s China visit to stabilise Pak economy: PEW 

prioritize and expedite the projects 

under the matchless Chinese initiative, 

he said. 

CPEC is a huge economic 

opportunity which has created 

80,000 jobs in Pakistan and by the 

end of 2030, some 700,000 more 

jobs will be created. 

The strategic partnership 

between Pakistan and China is not 

against any third country while the 

US-India relationship is clearly 

meant to harm Pakistan and China.

Iran says US not able to 

prevent its oil exports

Arain in honour SM Munir, leader of business community and Chief Petron UBG, ZubairTufail former President of FPCCI, Khalid Tawab, 

SardarYasin Malik and Noor Ahmed Khan in Jeddah. 

TEHRAN: Iran says the US can never 

prevent it from selling crude oil to international 

clients, stressing that no other supplier 

can substitute the kind of oil it provides to 

overseas markets. 

Iran’s First Vice President Es’haq 

Jahangiri was quoted by media as saying that 

the government of President Hassan 

Rouhani had already devised mechanisms to 

counter the impacts of returning US sanctions 

against the country’s oil exports. 

Jahangiri emphasized that Iran had serious 

plans to maintain oil exports above one 

million barrels per day. “Iran exported as 

much as 2.5 million barrels per day of oil 

over the past months,” he told a local insurance 

industry conference. “There had been a 

decline of a few thousand barrels per day. 

But we have always emphasized that Iran’s 

exports should not decline below one million 

barrels per day.” The administration of US 

President Donald Trump is preparing to 

launch the second wave of sanctions against 

Iran from November 4 in which a universal 

ban on the country’s oil exports appears to be 

a primary objective. US officials have 

already said the sanctions would be meant to 

bring down Iran’s oil exports to zero. 

However, Iranian officials have repeatedly 

rejected the feasibility of this, stressing that 

international consumers cannot afford to lose 

Iranian supplies.

no decision had so far been
