1. COVID-19 IN PAKISTAN
2. Rejected marriage proposal allegedly ends in murder
What’s going on? Mayra Zulfiquar was allegedly shot dead in her rented apartment in Lahore. She reportedly bled to death after being shot in the arm and neck. Her mobile phone was near her. Four men, including two primary suspects, are believed to have broken into the apartment early on Monday.
The details: According to Zulfiquar’s uncle, Mohammad Nazeer, two men were pressuring her to marry them. They allegedly threatened her with “dire consequences” after she rejected their marriage proposals.
Tell me more: Zulfiquar was a 24-year-old law graduate. She was a Belgian national, and a UK resident of Pakistani origin. She came to Pakistan two months ago to attend a wedding and decided to stay on. She was living in a rented home with her friend.
Looking ahead: Police in Lahore are looking for the two men who are prime suspects in Zulfiquar’s murder. Police have also detained two men for questioning.
The bottom line: If the alleged motive behind Zulfiquar’s murder is proven to be accurate, a young girl died simply because two men couldn’t take “no” for an answer. That is the price she paid for challenging two men who thought it was their right to marry her. We need to ask ourselves what is fueling this dangerous level of toxic and fragile masculinity in Pakistan.
3. Is Pakistan officially an approved seller on Amazon?
On May 5, the official Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Twitter page tweeted that Pakistan will “potentially” be added to the list of countries where sellers are permitted to sell on Amazon. The PTI ruling party’s official Twitter account also re-tweeted PTI KP’s post. Today, Techjuice.pk reported that Pakistan has “bagged a position” on Amazon’s approved sellers list. In other words, sellers can set up accounts on Amazon using Pakistani details. This milestone will reportedly bring a new era of economic growth to the country.
4. Pakistan asks IMF to ease “tough” loan conditions
You probably recall the International Monetary Fund’s (IMFs) $6 billion loan agreement with Pakistan. The IMF and Pakistan decided on this in 2019. However, Pakistan’s new Finance Minister, Shaukat Tarin, is pushing back a bit. He said Pakistan is trying to get the IMF to ease some of its “tough conditions” for the loan. These conditions include raising taxes, tax collection reforms, and limiting govt spending. Inflation is already rising in Pakistan. Pakistan has also increased electricity prices several times since the IMF’s loan program kicked off. Tarin doesn’t think Pakistan’s struggling economy can handle some of the IMF’s suggested economic benchmarks, which come with the loan program.
