The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has not restored reserved seats to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) or its allied party, the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC). Instead, following a Supreme Court verdict, the ECP has distributed the reserved seats previously earmarked for the PTI/SIC to other political parties, primarily the ruling coalition.
Here’s a breakdown of the recent developments:
* Supreme Court’s Verdict (June 27, 2025): A 7-3 majority ruling by a Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court overturned its own previous judgment (July 12, 2024) that had declared the PTI eligible for reserved seats. This new decision effectively stated that the PTI (or the SIC, which PTI-backed independents joined) was not entitled to reserved seats because of “non-curable legal defects and violation of a mandatory provision of submission of party list for reserved seats.” This decision essentially meant PTI was no longer considered a parliamentary party for the purpose of reserved seats.
* ECP’s Decision (July 2, 2025): Following the Supreme Court’s verdict, the ECP proceeded to distribute the 77 reserved seats (for women and non-Muslims) in the National Assembly and provincial assemblies that were previously claimed by the SIC/PTI.
* Distribution of Seats (National Assembly): According to legal experts, of the 22 reserved seats in the National Assembly, the distribution is as follows:
* Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N): 15 seats
* Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP): 4 seats
* Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F): 3 seats
* Distribution of Seats (Provincial Assemblies):
* Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly: 10 seats to JUI-F, 7 to PML-N, 6 to PPP, and one each to PTI-Parliamentarians and Awami National Party.
This redistribution of reserved seats has significantly strengthened the ruling coalition, allowing them to achieve a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly.

Yes, “funner” and “funnest” are considered real words, though their usage comes with some nuances and a bit of a history.

Here’s a breakdown:

• “Fun” as an adjective: Historically, “fun” was primarily a noun (meaning enjoyment or amusement). However, over time, it became commonly used as an adjective (“We had a fun time”). This shift wasn’t always met with approval by grammarians, but its adjectival use is now widely accepted and included in modern dictionaries.
• Forming comparatives and superlatives: Once “fun” gained acceptance as an adjective, the question arose of how to form its comparative and superlative forms.
  • For many one-syllable adjectives (like “new,” “tall,” “quick”), you add “-er” for the comparative (“newer,” “taller,” “quicker”) and “-est” for the superlative (“newest,” “tallest,” “quickest”).
  • For longer adjectives, or those that sound awkward with “-er” or “-est,” you use “more” and “most” (“more beautiful,” “most interesting”).
• The case of “funner” and “funnest”: Because “fun” is a one-syllable word, “funner” and “funnest” logically follow the pattern of adding “-er” and “-est.” And indeed, these forms have been in use for over a century.
• Usage and Acceptance:
  • They are real words: Dictionaries like Merriam-Webster acknowledge “funner” and “funnest” as valid, often with a “sometimes” label, due to their widespread use in published and edited texts.
  • Informal vs. Formal: While grammatically sound, “funner” and “funnest” are generally considered informal. In formal writing or speech, “more fun” and “most fun” are still preferred and will likely sound more natural to many people.
  • Preference: Many people still prefer “more fun” and “most fun,” and using “funner” or “funnest” might strike some as peculiar or less refined.

In summary, you can use “funner” and “funnest,” especially in informal contexts, and they are recognized by dictionaries. However, if you want to err on the side of caution or maintain a more formal tone, “more fun” and “most fun” are still the more widely accepted and common choices.

There are no credible reports or news articles that state Virat Kohli rewarded his driver with Rs 5 million after India won the Champions Trophy.

While the Indian team did win the Champions Trophy in 2013 and recently in 2025, and received significant prize money, there is no public information about Kohli personally giving such a large sum to his driver. News reports primarily focus on the official prize money distribution by the BCCI to players, coaching staff, and selectors.

It’s important to be cautious about unverified claims, especially those circulating on social media, as they can often be rumors or misinformation.

ومبلڈن ٹینس کا میلہ پیر سے شروع ہورہا ہے، منتظمین نے ماحولیاتی خدشات کے باعث خوراک کے مینو سے نمایاں تبدیلی کرتے ہوئے ’ایوو کاڈو‘ کو نکال دیا گیا۔

ایواکاڈو کی جگہ اب ’مسلے ہوئے مٹر‘ استعمال کیے جائیں گے، ایووکاڈو عرصہ دراز سے شائقین کی پسندیدہ غذا رہی ہے، ومبلڈن انتظامیہ نے اس کی وضاحت کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ ایووکاڈو کی کاشت میں درختوں کی بے دریغ کٹائی اور پانی کے شدید استعمال پر تشویش تھی۔

دوسری جانب ماہر باغبانی ایلن ٹیچمارش نے اس تبدیلی کا خیرمقدم کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ اسے کھانے سے گریز کیا جائے، ایووکاڈو صحت بخش تو ہے لیکن ماحول دشمن بھی ہے
