Himer described it as a “choice of soul, heart, and reason” that she had “freely and proudly” practised in the previous year. “There is no shame in converting to a different religion.” “This is a fundamental right that everyone should have the freedom to exercise,” she said.

Himer also shared snippets from her visit to Masjid-al-Haram, which she described as the “happiest day” of her life.
“There are no words that can express the intensity of my happiness and emotions right now.” A spiritual journey that I hope will continue to uplift and guide me Inshallah,” she concluded before thanking her fans for their unwavering support and kindness on her path to Islam.
According to the French press, Himer grew up with her stepfather and continued her search for her biological father and where they belonged. During this time, she was introduced to Islamic teachings.
Thursday’s gunfire at a political event in Gujranwala, which his party has dubbed an assassination attempt, left Imran Khan unharmed.
Khan stated in a Monday interview with CNN’s Becky Anderson, “They removed three gunshots from my right leg. The left included some shrapnel that was left inside.
Khan stated that his leg is in a cast and that his bone has been injured, adding that it will take him four to six weeks to return to his regular activities.
Speaking from his home in Lahore’s Zaman Park, Khan claimed to have received insider information about the impending shooting that injured him last week.
Khan responded: “Remember, three and a half years I was in charge. Anderson questioned him on Monday about the information he had been given about the incident and by whom. I have ties with all of the operating intelligence agencies. How did I obtain the knowledge? inside the intelligence organisations. Why? because the majority of people find what is happening in this country to be appalling.
Remember that I was in charge for three and a half years, Khan said. On Monday, Anderson questioned him about the details of the incident he had been given, including who had provided them. I am connected to every active intelligence organisation. How did I learn this information? within the intelligence agencies. The majority of people find what is going on in this country to be horrible, therefore that’s why.
The Pakistani intelligence service said last week that it had informed Khan “about the threat” before the rally. Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) released a statement in which it claimed that “the organisation had already sensitised the federal government about the threat to the former prime minister, who had transmitted this to the Punjab province government.”
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Khan’s political party, is in charge of the Punjab provincial administration, according to the ISI.
Khan claimed last Friday that there had been an attempt to murder him, but government and security authorities vehemently refuted this claim.
“That speech reflects the events as they transpired. How this would occur, how a religious fanatic would kill me and put the blame on him for blasphemy. All of this is in my speech, which I broadcast on television, and it’s also posted on social media, he claimed, referring to a speech he gave on September 24 in which he claimed to have described the course of the incident.
The politician said that he doesn’t “need any reason to accuse this government for me to get back into power,” adding that his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has maintained strong support since his ouster in April, in response to criticism that holding the current administration accountable for the attack would help Khan win re-election.
“They did everything they could to get me off the path. When it didn’t happen, this was planned, he said.
Khan was transported to a hospital in Lahore for treatment following the shooting, which resulted in one person dying in the attack on Thursday that also injured a number of other people.
Speaking from the hospital on Friday, Khan accused senior intelligence official Maj. Gen. Faisal, interior minister Rana Sanaullah, and prime minister Shebaz Sharif without providing any supporting documentation. The three guys are being contacted by CNN for comment.
At a news conference last week, the Pakistani Ministry of Information and Broadcasting refuted Khan’s accusations against Sharif and Sanaullah.
In response to Khan’s claims, the Pakistani military labelled them “completely inappropriate and uncalled for” as well as “baseless and reckless.” In a statement released on Friday night, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) referred to Khan’s allegations against the military and military people as “extremely sad and strongly condemned.”
The Pakistan Army takes great pride in being a highly professional and disciplined organisation, and the statement continued, “Pakistan Army takes great satisfaction in being a robust and highly effective internal accountability system applicable across the board for unlawful conduct, if any, perpetrated by uniformed troops.
However, if vested interests are harming the honour, safety, and reputation of its rank and file through false claims, the institution “would jealously safeguard its commanders and men no matter what.”
Khan wrote a letter to Pakistani President Arif Alvi in which he stated that after his party’s April election defeat, it has been subjected to “an ever-increasing amount of false claims, harassment, arrests, and custodial torture.” This was first reported by CNN on Monday.
The letter is dated November 6, three days after Khan survived the shooting, according to a person close to the former prime minister who sent it to CNN.
Rawalpindi announce 2 holiday for school & college due to current law.According to media reports, all public and private school and college will be closed on November 8 and 9. The decision on whether to extend the closure will be made later.
The development comes after the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) called on its workers to protest following Imran Khan’s assassination attempt during the long march near Wazirabad.
Imran Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and a former Prime Minister, was shot in the legs, and several other party leaders were also injured. Unfortunately, one PTI employee was killed in the incident.
PTI workers took to the streets in Islamabad last month after the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) disqualified PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the Toshakhana reference.
The Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police also set up diversions in many areas of the city to maintain law and order in the federal capital.
In a recent science exhibition called ‘Akash Thatva,’ an Indian company called ‘Aerospace Technology’ presented its prototype space capsule called SKAP 1, which impressed not only scientists but also ordinary people.
One of the Indian company wants to ferry tourists in a spaceship attached to a million-high-altitude balloon system. This planing is expected to be completed by 2025, according to the company. Aura Aerospace Technology Pvt Ltd, based in Mumbai, is developing a unique space capsule inspired by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The under-construction space capsule measures 10 feet by 8 feet and can carry six tourists and one pilot. The capsule, on the other hand, will remain within a 35-kilometer radius of the Earth.
SKAP 1, a new prototype space capsule, was presented at the Akash Thatva science exhibition, where it drew a lot of attention. Space Aura founder and CEO Akash Porwal told PTI that the company’s goal is to begin taking flights in 2025, with tourists being sent near space by balloon-propelled capsule. There are two places in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh that have been identified as potential launch sites for spacecraft. However, he stated that the final selected points will be considered in this regard. Porwal claims that the company is working hard to achieve its objectives with the assistance of ISRO and TIFR scientists.
This space capsule will be propelled by a balloon and will include all modern amenities, medical facilities, and an information system. This balloon will be filled with helium or hydrogen gas and will fly approximately 30 to 35 kilometers above sea level. Our tourists will be able to see Earth’s curvature and the blackness of space for about an hour here, he said. In terms of landing, this space balloon will be slowly deflated, and a parachute will be unpacked for a safer landing.
The intention, according to Referencing, is to entice space tourists to India by offering them a blend of space travel and Indian culture. In contrast to SpaceX and Blue Origin, he continued, “our company will help space travellers journey to space at a considerably lower cost.” Due to this, the price of a spacecraft flight has not yet been established but is anticipated to be in the range of INR 50 lakh.
The MQM leader described a meeting with Sindh’s Chief Minister, Syed Murad Ali Shah, in which they also addressed the upcoming local body elections.
“Elections for municipal bodies came up as well. The same powers have been agreed upon from Kashmore to Karachi “Speaking to the media while providing details, the MQM leader remarked.
“A presentation on flood victims was given at the CM House; we talked about the agreement with the PPP; and we will shortly decide on a course of action.”
In reaction to the likelihood of general elections in Pakistan, Khawaja Izhar said, “People are waiting, so elections should be held and elected people should serve them.”
Since neither the Sindh nor the federal governments had enough staff to provide security, MQM’s MPA also expressed fear about violence when commenting on the general elections.
Do we want elections when there is bloodshed on every street? the MPA questioned, adding that MQM is in favor of peaceful voting.
“After much suffering, calmly is back in Karachi. The Sindh government must stop anyone from undermining the rule of law “Khawaja Izhar said at the press conference.
The local currency increased by Rupee 0.26 or 0.12% from Friday’s closure of 221.92 to close at Rs221.66. Since there is some resistance near the 221 level due to the predominance of the bullish feeling in the market reinforced by certain favorable developments, currency dealers predict the currency to remain range-bound or advance somewhat versus the US dollar during the current week.
Once more in the positive range, the forward swaps show that there is enough forex liquidity. A memorandum of understanding between Pakistan and China has been signed on the establishment of RMB (Chinese currency) clearance arrangements in Pakistan.
International financial institutions are anticipated to invest in the nation. Pakistan has been promised $2.5 billion in World Bank flood assistance. Affected nations should be compensated, according to the participants in the climate summit, so aid may keep coming in.
In the meantime, a risk-on attitude helped the US dollar decline against the euro and sterling on Monday. The safe-haven US dollar index declined 0.54% to 110.49 against a basket of currencies. It had dropped about 2% by the end of last week.
The visit by crown prince Muhammad bin Salman is anticipated to take place on November 21. By the end of this week, Salman’s special security team is most likely to be in Islamabad to examine and approve the security measures.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that Saudi Arabia will invest wisely in Pakistan. Several petroleum deals between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are reportedly being finalized for signature during his excellency’s visit, according to sources.
The creation of a cutting-edge refinery in Gwadar is another project the government is relying on, and it depends on an expected deal that will aid in securing financial support from Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia and China will jointly fund the refinery, which will be constructed for $10 billion. After the project is finished, the refinery’s operations would initially be managed by Chinese firms, according to sources.
The sources did, however, caution that while everything appeared to be going smoothly thus far, a rise in the political commotion might hinder the KSA crown prince’s visit plans.
In front of a sizeable audience gathered at Clock Tower Chowk in Faisalabad on Sunday night, Mr. Qureshi declared that Mr. Khan had asked him to lead the march in his stead. Mr. Khan stated that he would participate in the Long march in Rawalpindi even if he was not fully recovered.
He claims that since Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan were the ones who actually orchestrated the attack on Mr. Khan in Wazirabad, the people of Faisalabad and the entire country demand their resignation. Farrukh Habib, the former federal minister of information and media, and other well-known party leaders also spoke.

The Pakistan Peoples Party government unveiled a brand-new plan as it equally launched two new Peoples Bus Service lines and continuing transportation projects.
However, given that the similar project failed to succeed last year, there are still concerns about the viability of electric buses.
According to a source with access to the situation, “the Sindh government took a similar initiative in March 2021 and started the nation’s first electric bus project in Karachi with a promise that by the end of the year, the number of these eco-friendly vehicles will rise to 100.”
“The electric bus was launched to travel between Tower and Sohrab Goth, and the fare was set at just Rs. 10 for one stop.
