ISLAMABAD: A district and sessions court in Islamabad on Monday issued an arrest warrant for former Sindh governor Imran Ismail in a case pertaining to violence and vandalism during the PTI’s 2022 “Azadi March”.

Ismail, who parted ways with the PTI in May 2023, was nominated in a violence case registered at Islamabad’s Barakahu Police Station.

Judicial Magistrate Mubashir Hassan Chishti issued the warrant and directed that Ismail be arrested and produced before the court.

The warrant was issued after Ismail failed to appear before the court in the case.

In November 2022, the ‘Azadi March’ led by Imran Khan, along with other PTI leaders and supporters, was carried out in several cities in Pakistan. The march ended with Khan’s announcement to dissolve the assemblies.

The PTI began its long march toward the federal capital on October 28, 2022, in an attempt to force the coalition government into early elections.

US President Donald Trump took a swipe at late-night host Jimmy Kimmel at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service.

In a closing speech at the event held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, this Sunday, Trump honoured slain conservative commentator as a man who “did not hate his opponents” and “wanted the best for them.”

Trump then drew a contrast between Kirk and himself. “That’s where I disagreed with Charlie,” he said. “I hate my opponents and I don’t want the best for them.”

He railed repeatedly against what he described as political violence by the “radical Left,” their “allies in the media,” and “paid agitators.”

Without mentioning Kimmel by name, Trump referred to his suspended ABC late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

“The same commentators who this week are crying fascism over a canceled late-night TV show, where the anchor had no talent and no ratings last year, were implying Charlie deserved what happened to him.”

Trump also criticised those accusing him of celebrating Kirk’s death. “Some of the very people who call you a hater for using the wrong pronoun were filled with glee at the killing of a father with two beautiful young children,” he said.

“The gun was pointed at him, but the bullet was aimed at all of us,” he added.

Following King Charles’ meeting with Prince Harry, revelations came to light regarding the Duke’s intentions. 

While claims allege the Duke wants to ‘aid’ his older brother a source claims that was “put to bed years ago” because he is “very happy with his life in California”. As well as with “just visiting the UK as and when to support his patronages and causes.”

Later on the sentiments were also echoed by a spokesperson who said, “The Duke has made it clear that ;the focus has to be on his dad’, beyond that, and on any other issues as it relates to his family, we won’t be commenting.”

For those unversed with the comments that brought all this forward, back when megxit talks were underway, conversations were exchanged about a ‘half-in and half-out’ arrangement where the Sussexes could earn their own money and also attend a few royal engagements a year.

However, that proposition had been rejected at the time, and it seems King Charles is standing firm on his late mother’s decisions too. Leading a source to come forward, and tell the Daily Mail, “Whoever is behind them seems to have mistaken a brief tea and a slice of cake for the Treaty of Versailles.”

Because “these syrupy briefings from supposed Sussex sources are precisely why The King and Royal family are so hesitant to embark on any road to rapprochement.”

Reason being “if the intention is to encourage a rebuilding of trust and relationships, they serve the precise opposite effect.”

Also “As last week’s State Visit clearly demonstrated, the power and impact of the modern monarchy lies in the unshakeable bond between The King and the Prince of Wales, supported by other working members of the family.”

The claim that instigated all this was a report by The Telegraph that claimed, “The King has been absolutely clear in upholding his late mother’s decision that there can be no ‘half-in, half-out’ public role for members of the Family.”
