Nuggets from the Urdu press
I am still the President of Pakistan
As reported in daily Express, ex–president of Pakistan Mohammad Rafiq Tarrar said that he is still the president of Pakistan because President Musharraf is not elected according to the constitution. Speaking to journalists in front of the Supreme Court he said that the united front of the political parties would dislodge the president, General Musharraf.

False lawyers beaten by genuine lawyers
As reported in daily Nawa-i-Waqt, the supporters of Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry beat up the pro-Musharraf lawyers who shouted slogans in favour of President Musharraf. The pro-Musharraf lawyers came with Punjab MPA Khalid Gharral and Deputy Prosecutor General Asjad Gharral from Lahore and Gujrat with a few union nazims and private people in lawyer attire. A fake lawyer, Qari Iftikhar, who is a moazan in the Punjab Institute of Cardiology’s mosque said that a bus full of lawyers was brought from Lahore.

Sex pills in Pakistan
According to daily Khabrain, after the ban on the American sex drug Viagra in Pakistan, the local non registered drug companies, fake doctors and fake hakims are importing the chemical used in Viagra, ‘SLIDNIFIL’ from China. The chemical is filled in capsules that are sold with names like Niagra, Vagra, Vinagra, Godagra. According to the Drug Act of 1974, the manufacturing of English medicine needs a license from the Ministry of Health but the manufacturing of Aryuvedic, Homeopathic and Tib-e-unani medicine have no legal control.

Girl killed for shaking hands with a cousin
As reported in daily Express, in Ghakhar Mandi a man killed his young daughter who shook hands with her cousin in a marriage ceremony. His second wife instigated him and he beat her savagely with a hammer and broke her hands and legs and smashed her head. She was buried secretly in the night.

Preach team for the World Cup
As reported in daily Jang, the media manager of the Pakistani cricket team, PJ Mir, said that the Pakistani cricket team players were more focused on preaching Islam than playing the World Cup in the West Indies. The other teams were also present in the West Indies but Pakistanis players were more enthusiastic about converting non-Muslims. He said the foreign journalists wanted to know why the Pakistani players were saying the azaan in the airplane.

No Indian films in Pakistani cinemas
As reported in daily Nawa-i-Waqt, the chairperson of the zonal standing committee for sports and culture of Chambers of Commerce, Sangeeta Begum, said that cinemas showing Indian films would be burnt down.

Inspector caught red-handed

The mother of the girl was sitting in the SHO’s office. According to legal experts the raid of the DSP is against the Women’s Protection Bill and the Police Order 2000. The SHO said that he was being victimized because he stopped the monthly of the DSP by raiding gambling dens. He said the girl was the daughter of his adopted sister.

Aunty Shamim and Jamia Hafsa
As reported in daily Jang, the victim of the violence and abduction at the hands of Jamia Hafsa students, Aunty Shamim, said that the madarassa is full of automatic weapons and the students are planning to take over Parliament. The maulvi of the Jamia is spreading terrorism under the guise of Islam. She said that if the situation remained the same she would have to migrate from Pakistan.

Sharia Courts by ulema are un-Islamic
As reported in daily Jang, the well known religious scholar and intellectual Javed Ghamidi said that creating sharia courts and punishing culprits is not the job of ulema (religious scholars). He said that establishing courts is the responsibility of government. God Almighty has restricted muslims to live in social discipline and the responsibility of the ulema is to preach the message of Islam. The ulema can only suggest or point out the problems in a society.

Jamaat Islami wants Inzi back as captain
As reported in daily Jang, the general secretary of Jamaat Islami Munnawar Hassan said that Inzamam ul Haq shall be made captain again to avoid the worsening of cricket team crises.

Divided protest against Jamia Hafsa
As reported in daily Express, separate agitations were organised by the PPP, Muslim League (Q) and various NGO’s against the forced implementation of shariat by the Jamia Hafsa students. Mahnaz Rafi said that Islam doesn’t allow building mosques and madrassas on illegally acquired land. The PPP General Secretary Pervez Ashrad said that the state within the state wouldn’t be allowed by the PPP.

Informer maulvi attacked in Kasur
According to Daily Pakistan, a famous khatib of Jamia Faridia Ahle Hadith, Kasur, Maulana Barakullah, was invited to a house and his one foot long beard, moustashe and eyebrows were shaved at gun point.

The amir and senator of Jamiat Ahle Hadith Pir Sajid Mir and other ulema were furious and wanted strict punishment for the culprits. Police arrested three culprits while the others are still at large.
