KARACHI: The Jamaat-i-Islami on Sunday staged a massive power show in solidarity with the people of Palestine while condemning the Israeli attacks and the silence of the Muslim world, which, it said, indirectly was supporting the Zionist thoughts and ambitions.
The opposition party, both at the Centre and in the provinces, also rejected any backdoor talks and “deal” on Kashmir with India and warned the authorities that it would march on Islamabad if any decision regarding the occupied valley was taken against the national will and desire of the Kashmiri people.

KARACHI: “Washington is a very happening place, and the good or bad thing about Pakistan-US relations is that there is never a dull moment,” said Dr Asad Majeed Khan, Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States during a Zoom session organised by the English Speaking Union of Pakistan (ESUP) here on Friday.
Speaking on ‘Pakistan-US relations’, the ambassador said that “We have had some interactions with the Trump administration earlier. But the new administration brings with it very old hands. Hands that know Pakistan well,” he said.
“We have faced very unusual circumstances in the US,” he said about recent developments. “The raging pandemic generated an economic [recession]. Then there were the contested elections followed by impeachment votes. So we see an administration that is still not well set in,” he reminded.
