Helicopter was within our boundary, says PM Azad Kashmir

Kashmir

ISLAMABAD: In a reaction to attempted attack by Indian forces on his helicopter, Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir Raja Farooq Haider on Sunday said they were within the boundary and India only staged a drama.

“It is clearly evident that India is perturbed. I along with the ministers in the helicopter were within our limit,” he said while exclusively talking to ARY News.

Indian troops fired shots at helicopter of the PM from a border post, while he was travelling on a white civilian helicopter to Tarori near LoC to condole the death of brother of Chaudhry Abdul Aziz.

The helicopter landed safely on the ground without any damage.

The incident reflects the state of affairs of panic-stricken Indian army and media who termed it a Pakistan Army helicopter.

Farooq Haider said Kashmiri would become a frontline against India (if war was waged), however they did not want war obsession in the region. He said it was a private helicopter and not a gunship copter.

The PM Azad Kashmir said a civilian aircraft could travel up to Zero Line, while if a military chopper has to travel up to that point, then you need to inform beforehand.

“We passed from near the Line of Control (LoC), while the Indian forces feigned as if we crossed the line which was only a drama staged by them,” he said.

Raja Farooq said India on regular basis opens fire on the area where their helicopter was flying.

Accountability court hears assets case against Ishaq Dar

ISLAMABAD: An accountability court in Islamabad on Wednesday resumed the hearing of a reference filed against former finance minister Ishaq Dar by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for allegedly accumulating assets beyond his known sources of income.  Judge Muhammad Bashir is recording the statement of a prosecution witness, Ishtiaq Ahmed. At the previous hearing, the accountability judge had reserved his verdict on an application filed by two co-accused seeking acquittal in the case. Naeem Mehmood and Mansoor Rizvi, who are directors of Dar’s companies, had filed the application requesting the judge to exonerate them from all charges for want of evidence. Qazi Misbah, the counsel for the two co-accused, contended the prosecution has failed to provide compelling evidence to prove the allegations leveled against his clients. The third co-accused President National Bank of Pakistan (NBP), Saeed Ahmed, had already filed an application before the court for his acquittal wh...

Qatar to hike minimum wage ‘by end of year’

DOHA: Qatar could increase the minimum wage for migrant workers by the end of 2018, unions predicted on Monday, as the 2022 World Cup host seeks to push through labour reforms. It would be the first change to the monthly wage since its introduction by the gas-rich Gulf state last November. “By the end of the year we expect a new minimum wage to be set, that’s good news,” said Sharan Burrow, general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation. Burrow did not name a figure but said the new wage would be calculated by assessing a “basket of goods”. She was speaking after meeting Qatar’s labour minister, Issa al-Jufali al-Nuaimi, and other government officials in Doha over the past two days. The minimum wage was set at 750 riyals a month ($206, 170 euro) on its introduction. In addition to the salary, labourers receive free accommodation, food and healthcare plans, covered by employers. The 750-riyal figure has been criticised as too low. “We believe it is not good e...
