Jawad Ahmad sues Abrar ul Haq


So, the Jawad Ahmad vs Abrar ul Haq episode is still not over yet. Jawad Ahmad has recently filed a lawsuit of Rs100 million against Abrar ul Haq saying that in a talk show he (Abrar) leveled baseless charges against him claiming that he (Jawad) collected Rs600 million for Taleem for All Trust through a telethon at a government-run TV channel, alleging that instead of investing that amount in the trust he used it for producing his film Virsa, he told this at a recent press conference held at Lahore Press Club.

He said he had already told the media that 70 per cent investment in the film had been made by Dr Amanauulah Khan, besides that Indian producer Vikram Khakar and he himself had invested in the film.

He said Abrar had tried to defame him by leveling baseless charges and that was why he had brought a lawsuit against him.

The singer said he had always served people with honesty and dedication and he would continue to do so.

He said though he believed in forgiving people, Abrar had offered no clarification of the ‘baseless’ charges he had leveled against him (Jawad) despite passage of many days since that programme went on air.

He warned that in future if anybody would level such charges against him he had the right to go to the court.

Jawad Ahmad said under Taleem for All Trust programme 14 schools were being run and their details were available on the website, www.taleemforall.org. He said every year the audit report of the trust was prepared which was also available on the website

Dutch celebrate World Cup win over Brazil

THE HAGUE: Ecstatic Dutch supporters spilled onto the streets Friday, singing, dancing and waving orange flags to celebrate their team's World Cup quarter-final victory over Brazil.

Egging on their team in the dying minutes of the match with chants of "Holland, Holland", fans clustered in restaurants and bars in The Hague jumped with joy as the final whistle blew.

The streets of the city were coloured orange by men, women and children donning shirts, wigs, hats and boas in the colour of the Oranje Elftal (Orange Eleven) and blowing noisily on vuvuzelas as they revelled in their 2-1 win.

After the final whistle blew, loud speakers started pumping out popular music as car hooters blared down the streets.

Dejected Brazilian fans could be seen ambling down the streets with their shoulders sagging amid the Dutch cacophony.

The match was watched countrywide on mega screens erected on city squares as municipal authorities distributed caps and water to fans gathered in temperatures upward from 30 degrees Celsius.

Entire homes were covered with large orange sheets and many a street is lined with small orange flags clattering in the wind.

One poll said that as much as 61 percent of Dutch workers had taken time off to watch Friday's match, while an economic advice bureau said employee absenteeism cost the economy more than 100 million euros (126 million dollars) every day the Dutch national team played.
