Opposition parties not on same page: Ghulam Sarwar

ISLAMABAD: Following the developments after the conduct of All Parties Conference (APC), Federal Minister for Aviation Ghulam Sarwar Khan said all opposition parties are not on the same page, their ideology and agendas are different. 

The minister said no one was bothered about the APC, “everyone was watching the cricket match.”

The chairman of Senate will not change, Khan asserted saying that the opposition wanted a number game against the Upper House’s chairman.

He also claimed that few of the members of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz will soon join Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. “The cracks within the PML-N are emerging,” Khan added.

The APC of major opposition parties was hosted by Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam leader Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman in Islamabad on Wednesday. The gathering saw disagreement and disarray among its ranks over various points, especially, when the members reportedly discouraged Fazl’s demand for collective resignation from the National Assembly.

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital. Her entire immediate family was wiped out in an air strike by a Saudi-led coalition that backs Yemen’s government, using an explosive device Amnesty International says was made in the US. Images of Buthaina’s rescue and a picture of her swollen and bruised at a hospital trying to force open one of her eyes with her fingers were beamed worldwide. That international fame saw her become something of a propaganda pawn in the war between Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels and Saudi media. “I was in my mother’s room with my father, sisters, brother and uncle, the first missile hit, and my father went to get us sugar to get over the shock, but then the second missile hit, and then the third,” she says. “And then the house fell,” adds the little girl, who says she is eight.
