Shauzab, Aleema face off, but no truce
ISLAMABAD: Kanwal Shauzab, the ex-Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA and self-styled defender of the party's honour, received a sharp reality check on Saturday, courtesy none other than Aleema Khan, the sister of jailed ex-prime minister Imran Khan. What began as a fiery confrontation quickly turned into a humbling moment for Shauzab, who had accused Aleema Khan in a leaked video of undermining key party figures including acting chairman Gohar Ali Khan and tarnishing the party's image, vowing a dramatic face-off. However, when the ex-MNA, who had secured a seat in parliament reserved for women on PTI's quota in 2018, crossed paths with Aleema Khan at the Rawalpindi Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC), the anticipated 'showdown' never materialised. Instead, Shauzab made a last-ditch attempt to offer an apology. In a sudden change of stance, Shauzab denied the accusations from her video, claiming they were part of a smear campaign orchestrated by PML-N trolls. But Aleema Khan – like brother, like sister – uninterested in engaging in any drama, met her with cold indifference. 'I'm not angry with you. Now go,' Khan said, barely glancing at the politician before dismissing her. Shauzab, still attempting to salvage the situation, tried to clarify that her words had been misinterpreted. But Aleema, displaying little more enthusiasm than someone scrolling through social media, responded dryly, 'Others from PML-N and other parties also speak against me,' before walking off. The encounter left Shauzab's attempt at reconciliation in tatters, her hope for a dramatic showdown dissolving into an awkward, futile apology. If Aleema Khan chose not to forgive her, the PTI insiders insisted, Shauzab's political career could very well be left in the gutter, with no amount of backpedaling able to salvage her reputation or future within the party.

Former Haripur food official accused of corruption
A corruption scandal has reportedly emerged in the Haripur Food Department involving the alleged illegal sale of wheat worth millions of rupees. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa deputy director of food had earlier written to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief secretary, secretary food, director anti-corruption and director NAB about the alleged corruption. According to the letter, a former district food controller (DFC) allegedly sold wheat worth around Rs80-90 million illegally during 2015-16. Although an inquiry was initiated by the department, it was reportedly shelved due to the political influence of a former food minister and a former food secretary. The deputy director stated that the accused was exonerated without investigation due to this political backing. He further claimed that the ex-DFC purchased a house worth Rs30 million in Gulberg Colony, Abbottabad and sent his son to the UK for higher education. It was also alleged that he gifted luxury vehicles and other items to a senior female clerk, with whom he reportedly worked closely in postings. The deputy director added that the former DFC always kept the clerk in his team. Further allegations suggest that over Rs70 million worth of wheat has gone missing from Haripur's food procurement for the 2024-25 season. The former officials are accused of once again selling wheat illegally from the Haripur food warehouse. The newly appointed Haripur DFC Tariq Khan has reportedly refrained from taking charge of the warehouse, allegedly due to awareness of the missing wheat stock worth Rs70-80 million. The duo is accused of causing a loss of around Rs150 million to the national exchequer.
