Faruqui also reposted this picture on her Instagram story, mentioning that they met Mukesh Ambani at Disneyland Paris. Her caption read, “And the Ambani’s again.”

It seems from the captions and photos that Faruqui’s meetings with the Ambani family occurred separately, rather than at one event.

Currently in France with her family, Sharmila Faruqui has been sharing glimpses of their trip on her personal Instagram account. According to Indian media, the billionaire Ambani family is expected to attend several events at the upcoming Paris Olympics.

This high-profile encounter has created a buzz on social media, highlighting the interactions between prominent figures from Pakistan and India.

by
Bilawal Bhutto
  • He said floods of 2022 destroyed 3.6m acres of kharif crops
  • Foreign Minister said farmers suffered a loss to the tune of Rs. 421b.
  • CM said that the disruption of the crop cycle threatened our food security.

KARACHI: Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party & Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari inaugurated Seed `Subsidy Programme:  Reimbursement for wheat Seed’ by pressing a key of the computer and transferred Rs8.39 billion to Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) which started disbursing an amount of Rs5000 per acre to the small growers holding agricultural land up to 12 acres.

The programme was organized by the agriculture department in collaboration with BISP here at the Banquet Hall and was attended by Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, MPA Ms Faryal Talpur and provincial ministers.

Earlier, Chairman Bilawal Bhutto, through a presentation was told that the Floods of 2022 destroyed 3.6 million Acres of Kharif crops out of 4.4 million Acres. The Farmers suffered a loss to the tune of Rs. 421 billion.

The Chief Minister said that the disruption of the crop cycle threatened our food security, livelihoods, and economy. He added that the Sindh government, on the directives of the party leadership planned to support the farmers in the form of enhancing the support price of wheat and Agriculture inputs to revive the agriculture sector.

Mr. Shah said that Rs 13.5 billion were required to finance the seed subsidy program. “The Sindh government contributed Rs8.39 billion and the federal government had committed Rs 4.7 billion,” he said and added due to funding deadlock with the federal government and lack of authentic data on farmers, the initial program of providing free seed was revisited when the sowing season had commenced.

The CM said that the implementation strategy was changed from the provision of free seed to reimbursement of the cost of seed at Rs 5,000 per acre.

Murad Ali Shah said that backing out of the federal government from providing their share constrained his government to limit the subsidy to the farmers holding the land up to 12.5 Acres in the first phase and 25 acres in the second phase.

US ambassador will be called to protest against Biden’s remarks on Nuclear assets: Bilawal

by
Arshad

KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari stated on Saturday that Pakistan has decided to call the US ambassador to the Foreign Office to protest President Joe Biden’s remarks about Pakistan’s nuclear capacity.

“We know how to secure our nuclear arsenal, and they meet every international norm set by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) in terms of security and safety,” Bilawal said at a news conference.

“Pakistan is adamant about maintaining its integrity and security. If there are any security concerns, they should be raised about India’s nuclear weapons, which recently accidentally fired a missile into Pakistani territory.”

Bilawal stated that he had reviewed President Biden’s statement with the Prime Minister in detail and hoped that the episode would not have a detrimental impact on Pakistan-US relations.

“We will ensure that our engagements with the US remain on track,” Bilawal added.

Pakistan may be “one of the most dangerous states in the world,” according to US President Joe Biden because the country has “nuclear weapons without any coherence.”

On Thursday, the US president made the remarks while speaking at a Democratic congressional campaign committee reception.

“And what I believe to be one of the most hazardous countries in the world: Pakistan.” Nuclear weapons without cohesiveness,” Biden was quoted as saying in a transcript of his speech, which was posted on the White House website.

Biden’s speech focused on the changing geopolitical environment throughout the world, emphasizing that the world was changing quickly and that countries were reconsidering their ties.

CM Murad Ali says in such human-catastrophic disaster we stand with everyone

by
CM Murad Ali
  • In such a human-catastrophic disaster we stand with everyone, says CM Murad Ali Shah during a press conference
  • Replying to a question, he said that 184 mm of rain was not even predicted by the meteorological department

 

SUKKUR: It has been the policy of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) that no matter what political differences we have, in such a human-catastrophic disaster we stand with everyone, says CM Murad Ali Shah during a press conference.

Replying to a question, he said that 184 mm of rain was not even predicted by the meteorological department. “The designed capacity of Sukkur would not be greater than 10 or 20 mm, but how can rain up to 184 mm in the last 24 hours be recorded passing through the districts of the city?” he asked.

“It takes time to pass through the rainwater and can not be done in a few hours. Due to heavy rains and floods, 14 innocents lost their lives in Sindh. In a few areas, 300 to 400 mm of rain was also recorded.”

570 million rupees have been spent to assist the flood-affected areas in the first phase, and 2 billion rupees will be spent in the second phase. We do not have enough resources to do things as soon as possible.

When it rained in 2010 and 2011, there were no road networks and we could not reach the locations. It had just been two or three years since we came to the government.

Yesterday I went to Sabhhar, Shaheed Benazirabad, and Naushero Feroz. There is at least accessibility in the area, and we can easily approach such places. This development happened but will further progress. The Hyderabad-Mirpurkhas road was the best built 12 years ago, and there we witnessed proper drainage of water.
