Pak Chief Justice gets a warning: ‘Try and demolish mosque if you can’
Warning Pakistan Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmad and Sindh province Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah of dire consequences, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Secretary General for Singh, Rashid Mahmood Soomro, has said that the party wont allow implementation of the courts order to demolish an illegally constructed mosque in Karachi, Friday Times reported.
The Pakistan Supreme Court had ruled that a mosque, shrine and cemetery built near Tariq Road in Karachi were encroaching on public park land, and ordered on Tuesday that the constructions be brought down.
Soomro posted a video on Twitter, which went viral by late Wednesday, daring authorities to raze the mosque.
“Mr Chief Justice the mosques are not orphans… Mr Chief Minister the mosques are not orphans… If you have the courage, then show it and try bulldozing the mosque,” Soomro goaded, as per the report.
He warned, “We will stop you on the way [to the mosque]… If mosques are demolished, your offices will also be demolished.”
Khawaja Shams, the counsel for the mosque’s administration, argued that the land was obtained legally through auction from the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC).
The District Municipal Corporation (DMC) maintained that the land was still zoned for public amenities. Gulzar Ahmad had chastised the district administration for unfettered developments across the city.
“What have you done with this city,” Ahmad questioned, adding: “The city has been built in a way that it now needs to be rebuilt from scratch, like Poland, Germany and France were,” as per the report.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
