At least 11 people, including six cops, were injured on Tuesday as the Karachi police attempted to disperse sit-ins across the city against the recent killings in Parachinar, located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Kurram District.
The religiopolitical Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM) had given a country-wide call of protests to express solidarity with the people of Parachinar, who have also been staging a sit-in since December 20 against the law and order situation as well as road closures.
The demonstrators are protesting the ongoing violence in Kurram as well as an incident where two people were killed and later decapitated after being waylaid on their way towards Parachinar in the district's Bagan area.
Speaking to Dawn.com, MWM spokesperson Syed Ali Ahmer Zaidi alleged that the police resorted to tear gas shelling and baton-charge at "10 places — including Abbas Town, Power House and Kamran Chowrangi" — and got the roads cleared.
However, he added, the sit-ins at three locations were continuing, namely at Numaish Chowrangi, Ancholi and Rizvia Society. He criticised what he called "state tyranny against peaceful protesters".
Violence also erupted on main National Highway in Malir where police and protesters clashed, resulting in injuries to several policemen and protesters.
Police surgeon Dr Summaiya Syed said that four injured people, including one in critical condition with a bullet wound to the head, were brought to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre from Malir.
She said three policemen from Malir with injuries caused by hard and blunt instruments were also brought. The police surgeon further said that three policemen were injured in clashes with the protesters at Numaish Chowrangi, two constables and the Pak Colony station house officer, and were also brought for treatment.
Dr Summaiya said one person with a gunshot injury on his left arm was brought from Numaish Chowrangi to Civil Hospital Karachi.
Malir Superintendent of Police (SP) Saeed Rind told Dawn.com that the protesters blocked the highway at Malir-15 at night. He said when the police took action to get the highway vacated; the protestors who were armed allegedly resorted to "straight firing", resulting in bullet injuries to two policemen.
He said the police resorted to tear gas shelling and dispersed the protesters who fled towards the streets. The Malir SP refuted charges of the protesters that the police resorted to firing on them, saying that only tear gas shelling was used.
Meanwhile, the MWM spokesperson in a statement said that the "police resorted to straight firing on participants of the sit-in in Malir, resulting in bullet injuries to nine persons including two in critical condition."
The spokesperson said they would not be deterred by bullets and threats and a large number of people had again started gathering at Numaish Chowrangi while an emergent meeting of the MWM was underway to chalk out future course of action.
MWM Information Secretary Asif Safvi condemned the alleged heavy firing and shelling by police and security forces on protesters at Numaish Chowrangi. He also condemned alleged violence on senior religious scholar Allama Hassan Zafar Naqvi by paramilitary forces, "who failed to open the roads in Parachinar".
Safvi maintained that the protest "will continue in any case".
"The Sindh government has used force. We will fight state oppression," he said. He added that dozens of protesters were injured by police brutality at Numaish Chowrangi and condemned the arrest of Allama Naqvi.
"The government and some black sheep are conspiring to create communal riots in the city," he said. "Banned sectarian groups are being given free rein on the streets as part of a conspiracy to suppress the demands of the public."
He called on the Sindh government to stop brutality against innocent civilians, adding that protesting is the right of every citizen.
He also called on PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and President Asif Ali Zardari to take notice of the "state oppression" by the Sindh government.
2024: A Challenging Year for Global Cinema
The year 2024 has been a challenging one for Hollywood, particularly for superhero films. Despite high expectations, major releases like Madame Web, Joker 2, and Venom: The Last Dance failed to resonate with audiences or achieve significant box office success.
Even Deadpool and Wolverine, a collaboration of iconic characters, fell short of industry buzz. The consistent underperformance highlights a growing audience fatigue with repetitive superhero narratives, signaling an urgent need for fresh ideas and creative storytelling.
Hollywood’s struggles extended beyond superheroes, as summer blockbusters such as Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, Hellboy: The Crooked Man, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga also disappointed. However, animated films became the industry's saving grace. Movies like Inside Out 2, Moana 2, and Despicable Me 4 performed remarkably well, especially in South and Southeast Asian markets, where they grossed significant revenue.
On the other hand, global cinema flourished. Sean Baker’s Anora earned the prestigious Palme d’Or at Cannes, breaking a 13-year streak of European dominance in the category. The film, centered on the life of a sex worker, also propelled actress Mikey Madison to stardom.
French-Mexican crime comedy Emilia Perez dominated award circuits, receiving the most Golden Globe nominations. Indian cinema shone brightly with All You Imagine As Light, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes, while Korea’s Exhuma became the highest-grossing Korean film of the year.

World's Most Expensive Reality Show Cost $100 Million; Winner Gets Private Island
The most expensive reality show in history has over a thousand contestants a grand prize of over $5 million and a private island.
Squid Game became a cultural phenomenon when it was released on Netflix in 2021. The Korean thriller was based on a fictitious game show that pitted financially struggling people in deadly situations for the entertainment of the elite. While Squid Game was a comment on commercialism and capitalism, it ironically spawned real-life game shows along the same lines. Of them, one emerged as a $100-million behemoth, becoming the most expensive reality television show in history.
The most expensive reality show ever
YouTuber Mr Beast took his viral challenges into the streaming world with his first reality TV game show, Beast Games. Made along the same lines as the challenges from Squid Game, Beast Games is the biggest reality show in the world. As per The Business Insider, the YouTuber invested $100 million of his own money to produce the massive show. This cost does not include the prize money of $5 million, along with a Lamborghini and a private island. Mr Beast's show is head and shoulders clear of other reality TV shows, such as WMAC Masters, which cost $11 million to make (back in 1995). In fact, Beast Games' budget even exceeds many of the biggest television series globally, including Squid Game ($22 million), Game of Thrones ($50 million), and The Last of Us ($90-100 million).
How Beast Games broke 50 world records
Beast Games has been a record-breaking TV show in more ways than one. Not only does it hold the record for being the most expensive reality TV show ever, but it is also the game show with the highest prize money (above $5 million). In a promo for the show, the creator revealed some of the other records the show had broken and emphasised that the Guinness Book of World Records recognised a total of 50 records that the show had broken.
About Beast Games
Beast Games is a competition series that began streaming on Amazon Prime Video on December 19. Created by Jimmy Donaldson, aka Mr Beast, the show gives contestants a chance to win huge amounts of money through challenges. The difference from Squid Game is that there is no threat of death here. In each episode, one member is offered an opportunity to quit the show on the spot and get given $80,000, but as a consequence, the rest of their row is eliminated, too. The first season comprises ten episodes, which will drop weekly.
Marzuk Russell Reveals the Reason for Not Getting Married
Marzuk Russell is both a lyricist and an actor. He prefers to live life on his own terms. In his kingdom, he is like a king! He speaks, writes, and lives the way he wants. He has his unique language, different from everyone else.
The personal life of a lyricist and actor often influences young people. Along with this, there is a lot of curiosity among his fans. One such curiosity is why he has remained unmarried. Recently, Marzuk spoke openly about this issue in an interview with a media outlet.
It has been heard that he had a relationship with a young girl named Zerin. Later, she married and settled down, but he did not. Did this romance make him reluctant to get married? Does he not want to settle down?
In response to this question, Marzuk, in his usual manner, said, "It was one-sided, from my side. In my teenage years, nature made me indulge in this madness. Married life and family life are not the same. One can live alone and still have a family. Even when living far away and alone, I am not against marriage—our family includes my grandmother, mother, sister, and brother. I first tried to get married in 1996, but it didn't work out. If the match doesn't happen, I am not interested in forcing a match according to social norms.
Recently, the political satire film 840 was released, in which Marzuk Russell has acted. The film is directed by Mostafa Sarwar Farooki.
Bollywood's Most Talked-About Weddings in 2024
As the world gears up to bid farewell to 2024 and welcome the New Year, the festive spirit is in full swing. From the start of the year to its end, several stars in Bollywood tied the knot, making headlines with their grand or intimate wedding celebrations. Here's a look at some of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the year.
Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal
On June 23, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal began their new chapter together after seven years of dating. The announcement of their wedding sparked a controversy about the actress's religion, as Sonakshi is Hindu and Zaheer is Muslim. However, the couple chose to marry through a civil ceremony, not adhering to any religious rituals.
For their special day, Sonakshi wore a white ensemble sent from Zaheer’s family home, while Zaheer wored a white kurta-pajama. The reception, held at 8 pm, followed a strict dress code, asking guests to avoid red. Sonakshi wore a stunning red Banarasi saree, and Zaheer complemented her in an off-white kurta set.
Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant
Anant Ambani, son of India's billionaire Mukesh Ambani, married Radhika Merchant, daughter of businessman Viren Merchant, on July 12 in a grand Gujarati ceremony. Their relationship began during college and culminated in marriage after two pre-wedding ceremonies.
Radhika stunned in an ivory lehenga, while Anant opted for a pastel-toned outfit. Their wedding saw a star-studded guest list featuring Bollywood, cricket stars, business tycoons, politicians, and even Hollywood celebrities.
The Ambanis went all out for the event, chartering three Falcon 2000 jets for international guests, costing ₹7.2 lakh per hour, and deploying 100 private jets for three days. The catering was equally opulent, leaving everyone awestruck.
Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala
Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala tied the knot on December 4 in a private ceremony attended by family and close friends. The wedding was held at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad, adhering to South Indian traditions.
Sobhita dazzled in a golden silk saree paired with traditional jewellery and floral hair, while Naga opted for a beige dhoti-kurta set with a matching scarf. The couple’s relationship made headlines after Naga's divorce from Samantha Ruth Prabhu in 2021. Despite rumours, the couple never publicly acknowledged their romance until their marriage.
Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani
Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani got married on February 21 in a lavish ceremony in Goa. The festivities included sangeet, mehendi, and haldi, leading up to their wedding.
Interestingly, the couple married twice — first in a Sikh ceremony, reflecting Rakul's faith, and then following Sindhi rituals for Jackky’s heritage. Rakul looked radiant in a pastel pink lehenga, while Jackky chose an off-white sherwani. Their relationship became public in 2022 when Jackky shared a heartfelt post on Rakul’s birthday.
Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare
On January 3, Ira Khan, daughter of Aamir Khan, married Nupur Shikhare in a simple civil ceremony, followed by a grand celebration in Udaipur on January 8. The Mumbai reception on January 13 was attended by numerous Bollywood celebrities. The couple had been together for three years.
Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth
Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth married on September 16, following South Indian traditions. Both were entering their second marriages, with Aditi previously married to Satyadeep Mishra and Siddharth to Meghna. Their love story began in 2021 on the sets of Maha Samudram.
Pulkit Samrat and Kriti Kharbanda
Pulkit Samrat and Kriti Kharbanda tied the knot on March 15 at ITC Grand in Delhi. The couple, who started dating in 2019 after meeting on the sets of Veerey Ki Wedding, celebrated their love after four years of courtship.

Dhaka is shrouded in dense fog, forcing vehicles to use headlights even during the day. The cold winds have intensified the chill, while the sun remains hidden despite the advancing day.
Visibility was significantly reduced from early morning, disrupting daily activities and traffic movement.
Areas like Karwan Bazar, Tejgaon, Mohakhali, Uttara, Airport, and Khilkhet were heavily affected, with moderate to dense fog observed across the city.
Objects at a distance were hard to see, and although the fog eased slightly later in the day, the cold felt sharper than usual.
The Bangladesh Meteorological Department’s forecast at 7 AM predicted moderate to dense fog over Dhaka and surrounding areas for the next six hours, with northwesterly winds at 6–12 km/h and partly cloudy skies.
Nationwide, dense fog is expected to intensify the winter chill during the day, potentially disrupting air, river, and road transportation.

The Joy of Victory in Red-Green Attires
December is a month full of love and emotions for Bengalis. As this month arrives, the streets and corners are adorned in red and green. December 16th is a momentous day in the history of Bangladesh, as it marks the day, we achieved independence through the sacrifice of three million martyrs. Various events are held on this day to honor the martyrs.
To celebrate Victory Day, all Bengalis opt for red and green attire. During this month, local fashion houses offer a wide range of red and green clothing. As in previous years, fashion houses are showcasing sarees, panjabis, shirts, kurtas, fatuas, skirts, and children's Victory Day outfits. The combination of red and green in different designs has brought a unique beauty to each outfit.
A decade ago, there wasn't as much formality around Victory Day celebrations. Now, people's tastes have evolved, and fashion houses are creating sophisticated, festive clothing to suit different preferences. Many people also use their creativity to design unique Victory Day attire.
Fashion houses have introduced new designs of salwar-kameez, sarees, and panjabis for Victory Day. These outfits feature embroidery, block prints, yokes, handwork, and sequins. The materials used include cotton, handloom, silk, chicken, and jamdani fabrics.
In the markets, vendors are selling red and green panjabis, three-piece outfits, fatuas, sarees, and masks for both adults and children. Parents are also buying vibrant clothes for their children, and these outfits often display slogans related to the liberation war and the red-green theme. The clothes are made from thick cotton and khadi fabrics and feature techniques like tie-dye, block printing, batik, applique, catwalk, and screen printing.
In addition to adult clothing, children's outfits are designed in similar styles. The key feature of these designs is the colors of the flag. Heavier fabrics are used, and there are also new designs such as those from Fording, with work like embroidery, applique, block printing, handwork, hand-painting, and tie-dye.
Along with the outfits, cosmetic stores are also seeing a surge in customers. Women are busy buying red and green bangles, necklaces, earrings, clips, and flowers. On Victory Day, everyone wants to adorn themselves in red and green.
World's Most Expensive Hamburger Wrapped in Gold
The world's most expensive hamburger (single portion) is wrapped in gold and garnished with caviar –priced at nearly 5 lakh BDT.
Not just in taste, but this burger redefines luxury. Each bite is infused with a golden touch. Wondering how? The burger bun is made with Dom Perignon champagne and is wrapped in 24-carat pure edible gold.
This luxurious and expensive creation includes 170 unique ingredients, including truffles, one of the most opulent culinary items. It's in the race to become the world's most expensive burger.
Dutch chef Robbert Jan de Veen is the mastermind behind this creation, which he is aiming to set a world record for. He has crafted a burger featuring the rarest and most exquisite flavors globally.
But how did he come up with making such a luxurious burger?
De Veen's restaurant De Daltons is located in Voorthuizen, near Amsterdam. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when restaurants in the Netherlands were closed, he reviewed Guinness World Records and decided to break a record.
The previous record was set in 2011 by a restaurant in Oregon, USA, whose burger cost €4,210. De Veen is attempting to surpass that with his €5,000 burger.
But what makes a burger cost 5 lakh BDT? What does it contain?
The chef explains that the burger has 170 unique ingredients. Among the key luxurious elements are white truffles, Iberian serrano ham, Beluga caviar, king crab meat, smoked duck egg mayo, Dom Perignon champagne-soaked onion rings, 24-carat gold, and truffle-infused English cheddar cheese.
The burger patty is made with Japanese Wagyu A5 beef, which is renowned for its flavor and tenderness. It is also made with chuck, short rib, and brisket cuts, making it truly special.
The BBQ sauce includes Macallan whiskey, balsamic cider vinegar, and Kopi Luwak coffee—uniquely derived from the droppings of a civet cat.
This exceptionally luxurious burger is served on a black plate, enclosed in a chamber filled with single-malt whiskey smoke, making the presentation captivating and mesmerizing.
However, amidst all this luxury, Chef de Veen has a noble goal. The proceeds from the burger sales will be donated to charitable organizations like local food banks, playing a crucial role in helping people in need.
Start Prayer Time
Date : 03 Jan, 2025
The drastic shift in Bangladesh-India relations, once characterized by a spirit of friendship but now marked by discriminatory behaviour, has become increasingly apparent.
Conflicts between nations or political ideologies are always the result of human actions, and it is humans who must work toward their resolution. The very term "human" inherently evokes ideas of civility, decency, and mutual respect.
However, Suvendu Adhikari, a leader of India's ruling party, seems to disregard these fundamental human virtues. For him, possessing the ability to speak appears to equate to the freedom to utter anything without restraint. At the slightest perception of a threat to his interests, he does not hesitate to liken people to "flies and mosquitoes." Worse still, he has openly expressed a desire to exterminate them as one would pests. In this modern era, the notion of exterminating humans as if they were mere insects is a very light issue for him. The blunt and dismissive manner in which he insulted the people of Bangladesh suggests that, in his worldview, the concept of "decency" has no place. Instead, crudeness seems to serve as his misguided badge of honour.
Before labelling Suvendu’s actions as purely malicious, it might be more constructive to view them as stemming from ignorance or poor judgment. In today’s interconnected world, where globalization ensures that actions and words are subject to international scrutiny, such inhumane and uncivil remarks by a leader of India’s ruling party have the potential to tarnish the country’s reputation on the global stage.
Therefore, to uphold the principles of decency and safeguard India’s image, India’s educated civil society must protest or condemn Suvendu Adhikari’s offensive behaviour. This would not only shield India as a nation from collective accountability for his remarks but also place the responsibility squarely on Suvendu himself, highlighting the deficiencies in his Family education also His moral upbringing.
The controversy arose from a public speech Suvendu delivered on the afternoon of December 24. In his remarks, he stated: “Bangladeshis are like flies and mosquitoes. If we wish, we can exterminate them at any time. Not just that, the daily garbage produced in Kolkata alone, if carried by cargo planes, would bury all of Bangladesh under it.”
