Chahat Fateh Ali Khan gets Rs 18 million defamation notice

Author: News Desk

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan lands in another trouble, with a defamation notice for allegedly damaging the legacy of the legendary musician Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The social media star was issued with a legal notice demanding Rs180million in damages for allegedly tarnishing the legacy of the legendary musician Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The notice issued by Mian Muhammad Umair on behalf of Qaiser Munir Khan and delivered to Chahat’s residence in the UK warns of potential legal repercussions if Chahat does not respond within 15 days. In the notice, Chahat is accused of falsely claiming a connection to the late musician and damaging his reputation through his singing. The notice also alleges that Chahat’s actions have offended the people of Faisalabad and violated copyright laws. The notice specifically states, “Chahat’s singing has angered the people of Faisalabad,” indicating the community’s negative reaction to his alleged misrepresentation. Furthermore, the legal document insists on a public apology from Chahat on social media within the specified timeframe. Failure to comply with this demand could result in a defamation lawsuit seeking Rs 180 million in damages.

IMF ‘stops’ Pakistan govt from setting support price for commoditiesThe International Monetary Fund (IMF) has imposed a strict condition on Pakistan’s federal and provincial governments as part of its $7 billion bailout package, barring them from setting support prices for key agricultural commodities, including wheat, sugarcane, and cotton. This condition is part of a broader effort to reduce government spending and limit subsidies. The IMF’s directive mandates the gradual elimination of price-setting mechanisms by all five governments—federal and provincial—starting with the current Kharif crop season and concluding by June 2026. As a result, prices for essential crops like wheat, sugarcane, and cotton, along with imported fertilizers, will no longer benefit from government-set rates or subsidies. In Punjab, the government has already halted wheat procurement from farmers, leading to a 40% drop in wheat and flour prices, which contributed to the country’s single-digit inflation rate last month. Additionally, the IMF has barred provinces from offering electricity and gas subsidies during the 37-month loan period. While the IMF’s directives have been communicated to Punjab, provincial officials have denied receiving formal notice. Despite this, sources confirm that the conditions will be enforced, marking an end to government intervention in the agricultural market. The policy change is expected to have a profound impact on the agricultural sector, especially the sugarcane industry, where price-setting by the government has long been a contentious issue between farmers and mill owners.
