Malik Taimoor, a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA from Rawalpindi, has submitted a resolution to the Punjab Assembly seeking ban on the use of the word talaaq (divorce) in Pakistani television dramas.

Taimoor and other supporters of the move claim the word talaaq is creating a negative impact on Pakistani society and has been termed as undesirable in Islam. It, therefore, urges the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) to ban the airing of the word on television across the country.
On the other hand, the resolution does not suggest what other word production houses can use in place of talaaq in case the script at hand requires so.

PHOTO: REUTERS KUALA LUMPUR:  Malaysia said on Monday that it will monitor ride-hailing firm Grab for possible anti-competitive behavior after rival Uber offloaded its Southeast Asian operations to the Singapore-based firm. Uber’s deal to take a 27.5 per cent stake in Grab in exchange has raised a red flag with Singapore’s competition watchdog, which said on Friday it was investigating a suspected breach of competition law. Malaysia’s Competition Commission would keep tabs on Grab, especially if the company imposed unfair practices or sudden fare increases, a government minister said.

PHOTO: AFP TAMPA:  In a move that shocked lunar scientists, NASA has cancelled the only robotic vehicle under development to explore the surface of the Moon, despite President Donald Trump’s vow to return people there.
