JUI-F leader challenges Chief Jusice and Sindh CM. JUI-F leader challenges Chief Jusice and Sindh CM to implement mosque demolition orders If you have the courage then show it and try bulldozing any mosque in Karachi, warns Rashid Soomro Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Sindh Secretary General Rashid Mahmood Soomro on Wednesday dared Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed and Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah to implement the top court's order to demolish illegally constructed mosques in Karachi. On Tuesday, the apex court ordered to demolish a mosque, shrine and cemetery built on amenity parks' land near Tariq Road. A division bench, headed by Justice Gulzar Ahmed and comprising Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin, heard a case against the construction of Madinah Mosque and other encroachments on the land meant for a park in Tariq Road at the Supreme Court Karachi Registry. District Municipal Corporation (DMC) Administrator East maintained that the mosque was constructed on park land. CJP Gulzar expressed anger over the land still being occupied, reprimanding the district administrator over Karachi's condition. “What have you done with this city? The city has been built in a way that it now needs to be rebuilt from scratch, like Poland, Germany and France were,” the CJP berated the district administrator. Khawaja Shams, the mosque administration's counsel, said that the land was obtained from the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) through auction. However, he claimed that a new mosque was being built in its stead. “Assistant Commissioner Asma Batool has built a mausoleum and a graveyard to add fuel to sectarian rift. Bismillah mosque was also built overnight to sow sectarianism,” the lawyer state "Mr chief justice the mosques are not orphans... Mr chief minister the mosques are not orphans... if you have the courage then show it and try bulldozing the mosque," Soomro said in a video that went viral on social media.

ISI Chief General Anjum wants no media coverage Pakistan's spymaster Lieutenant General Nadeem Anjum has urged authorities not to release to media organisations photographs and video footage of him at official meetings. General Anjum was appointed as the Director-General of ISI in October after a political slugfest between the civilian and military leadership in the country. Pakistan's National Security Committee (NSC), the highest forum for coordination on security issues, approved its first-ever National Security Policy on Monday. The top-level meeting was also attended by the DG ISI. However, the Pakistani government did not release any of his pictures or video footage. A Pakistani minister told The News International that this was done due to a standing instruction for all concerned from the incumbent DG ISI not to release any of his pictures or video footage of any official meeting that he attends. It is for this reason that none of his pictures or video footage have been released to the media since his appointment as the chief of ISI, the minister added. Lt. General (retd) Amjad Shoaib, said there have been violations of the principle in the past and several times the governments had released to the media picture and video footage of intelligence chiefs.
