In view of the Supreme Court opinion, the fate of the Punjab government hangs in the balance as it was formed with the help of dissenting PTI lawmakers. The attorney general said Article 63-A outlined the process of proceedings against lawmakers over violation of party policies. He added Imran had issued a statement before taking a vote of confidence from his party members following the Senate defeat. “Imran had said he would go if his party members refused to vote for him,” the AGP added.

Some judicial decisions are not the verdicts of history. History often differs from the court orders. Greek ancient philosopher Socrates had to drink a cup of poison (Silver Salva) to comply with the judgment of the death sentence passed by the Court, but he was regarded as a benefactor of mankind in history. Similarly, Hussain Bin Mansoor Hallaj and Sarmad were awarded death punishment by the respective courts of their time, but history remembers them as heroes and not as culprits.

With all the excitement going around, I figured I’d share five reasons why I think that the Oilers will come out on top in this series. 2 – McDAVID MAGICConnor McDavid seemed to find another level in the Oilers’ first-round series against the LA Kings. He dominates them and that will be a major factor in this series if the Oilers win. Edmonton’s powerplay has the ability to steal them games whereas I don’t believe the Flames’ powerplay has that same ability. Anything can happen in the playoffs and that right there should give you a reason to think that the Oilers can win this best-of-seven against the Flames.

With the first postseason Battle of Alberta set to kick off tomorrow night, I felt like it would be the perfect time to unload my brain a little bit on some of the thoughts that are rolling around as we head into this series. Even though a lot of people are saying this thing is over before it starts, I’m not so sure about that. That’s why the Oilers need to be prepared to answer back with shots on Calgary’s skilled guys with clean hits if that’s the game the Flames want to play. If the Flames want to take runs at our players then the Oilers will need to be prepared to do the same. Let’s have a good time over these next two weeks, but let’s not make ourselves look like morons while we’re at it.

While hailing the decision, Imran also urged the court to seek the record of corruption cases of the Sharif family and conduct day-to-day hearings on the cases. Imran also appealed to the Supreme Court to order an inquiry into the recent death of FIA officer Dr Mohammad Rizwan, who died of an alleged cardiac arrest. In his speeches over the past week, Imran had raised suspicions of foul play regarding the nature of Dr Rizwan’s death. Imran said he was “carefully planning” the date of his upcoming Islamabad march and would unveil it in days to come. The former PM further said that Asif Ali Zardari was “enjoying” the current political situation whereas Shehbaz was “struggling” as the PPP had control of Sindh alongside a share in the federal government.

A special court in Kolkata on Tuesday extended the federal economic intelligence agency's custody of Bangladeshi businessman PK Halder by another 10 days. Though the Enforcement Directorate sought another two weeks for "further custodial interrogation" of Halder, the Bankshall court in the eastern Indian city gave the agency 10 more days. The federal agency produced Halder and his associates, who were arrested in West Bengal on May 13, in the city court after their three-day remand ended on Tuesday. Two of his arrested aides have been identified as Pritish Kumar Halder and Pranesh Kumar Halder. The accused, including Halder, managed to float companies in India on the basis of the fraudulent documents, according to the directorate.

The High Court on Tuesday fixed June 12 for the hearing on the rule issued on November 19, 2020 over the government steps to bring back the fugitive businessman to bring back Prashanta Kumar Halder alias PK Halder. The court also directed the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to inform the progress of the cases filed against PK Halder within this period. Earlier after his arrest, PK Halder was remanded to three-day custody with the ED on the basis of an application by the Indian agency. Later, the court ordered the law enforcement agencies to arrest PK Halder immediately upon his return to Bangladesh. PK Halder possessed two passports — one Bangladeshi and the other Canadian — but used his Bangladeshi passport to go to India.

John Fetterman, who is leading in polls and fundraising in the Democratic Party’s primary for U.S. Senate, remained in the hospital Monday after suffering a stroke right before the weekend. Some Republicans fear Barnette and Mastriano are too polarizing to beat Democratic opponents in a general election. Meanwhile, in the hard-fought Republican primary for U.S. Senate, Barnette worked to fend off growing attacks from former hedge fund CEO David McCormick and heart surgeon-turned-TV celebrity Mehmet Oz, Trump’s endorsed candidate. Together, Mastriano and Barnette have spent a fraction of the money that some of their rivals have. With polls showing a late surge for Barnette, Trump’s attacks reflected an eleventh-hour behind-the-scenes scramble by Trump allies and rival campaigns to discredit her.
