[Areesh]

Fauzia should have said that US is the biggest market for the watan faroosh's.

And that I have also been sold out so no need to bid for me...

Confused and useless government flip flopping and trying to have It both ways alert!

Wahab’s statement is not party policy: Babar – The Express Tribune

Will we see a similar tirade against Fauzia, as we saw against Qureshi, by the PPP for speaking out of turn and 'breaking party discipline'?

Or is it just reserved for those breaking party discipline by advocating for the rule of law?

According to officials, Rahat was questioned by senior DRI officials till late Sunday night.

Rahat is the nephew of legendary singer late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and is popular both in India and Pakistan. His numerous hit songs from Indian films are a rage on both sides of the border, for which he has won several awards, including the recent Filmfare award for "Dil to Bacha Hai Jee". He was also a judge on the Indian music reality show "Chhote Ustad".

Pakistan has begun frantic efforts to secure the release of the singer. Pakistan foreign secretary Salman Bashir called Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad Sharat Sabharwal and discussed the matter around midnight on Sunday. He requested the Indian envoy to ensure that "no official should misbehave with Rahat during interrogation".
