<p>Both of them have been accused of attempting to incite divisions on linguistic grounds through social media posts and of creating the impression that the armed forces were engaged in terrorism within the country.</p>
<p>At the hearing today, Mazari and Chattha, along with lawyer Sher Afzal Marwat, Islamabad Bar Association President Naeem Ali Gujjar, Islamabad Bar Council member Raja Aleem Abbasi and other legal representatives, appeared before the court.</p>

Last supermoon of 2025 to be visible in Pakistan tonight, tomorrow

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.dawn.com/news/1959138/last-supermoon-of-2025-to-be-visible-in-pakistan-tonight-tomorrow

<p>The last supermoon of 2025 is set to light up skies across Pakistan tonight and tomorrow night, according to state-run <a class="link--external" href="https://www.radio.gov.pk/04-12-2025/pakistan-to-witness-years-last-supermoon-tonight" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Radio Pakistan</em></a>.</p>
<p>A supermoon occurs when the moon reaches its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, causing it to appear unusually large and bright — up to 14 per cent larger and nearly 30pc brighter than a typical full moon.</p>
<p>The final supermoon of the year, known as the Cold Moon, will be visible across Pakistan tonight and tomorrow night, <em>Radio Pakistan said</em>, quoting the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco).</p>
<p>“It marks the third consecutive supermoon of the year and the last supermoon of 2025,” it said.</p>
<p>Suparco encourages the public, astronomy enthusiasts, students, and families to observe this natural spectacle, the report said.</p>
<p>“No special equipment is required; the supermoon will be easily visible to the naked eye, provided the skies remain clear,” it added.</p>
<p>According to <a class="link--external" href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/12/03/science/supermoon-december-cold-moon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>CNN</em></a>, the moniker ‘Cold Moon’ indicates that it’s the full moon event closest to the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.</p>

NFC meets to discuss resource sharing between Centre, provinces

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.dawn.com/news/1959141/nfc-meets-to-discuss-resource-sharing-between-centre-provinces

<p>The inaugural meeting of the 11th National Finance Commission is being held in Islamabad today (Thursday) as negotiations for the sharing of federal divisible resources between the Centre and the provinces formally begin.</p>
<p>Federal Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb is presiding over the meeting, which will take up three agenda items. The four provincial finance ministers and four non-statutory members — Dr Asad Sayeed (Sindh), Mehfooz Ali Khan (Balochistan), Nasir Mehmood Khosa (Punjab) and Dr Musharraf Rasool Cyan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) — are members of the NFC.</p>
<p>At the outset, the meeting will hold general discussions on the “strategy for deliberations on the 11th NFC Award, including proposed formation of sub-groups for deliberations on thematic areas, etc”.</p>
<p>This will be followed by 10-minute presentations by each of the four provincial governments and the federal Ministry of Finance on their respective fiscal positions. The meeting will then set the schedule and timelines for future NFC meetings, most likely to be held in all federal and provincial capitals until the conclusion of deliberations.</p>
<p>The 11th NFC was <a href="https://www.dawn.com/news/1934294"><u>constituted</u></a> on August 22 to give a new award for sharing federal divisible resources between the Centre and the provinces. Its first meeting, initially called for August 27, was <a href="https://www.dawn.com/news/1938044"><u>postponed</u></a> repeatedly.</p>

<p>Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan signed 15 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) in various fields, including commerce, energy and health, to boost bilateral cooperation between the two nations.</p>
<p>The exchange of MoUs took place in Islamabad, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Kyrgyzstan President Sadyr Zhaparov witnessing the signing ceremony.</p>
<p>Zhaparov <a href="https://www.dawn.com/news/1958979">arrived</a> in Islamabad yesterday on a two-day maiden visit to Pakistan. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in a <a class="link--external" href="https://x.com/CMShehbaz/status/1996276923258048626" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">post </a>on X that the visit was the first by a Kyrgyz president in 20 years.</p>
<p>Following the signing of the MoUs, PM Shehbaz and Zhaparov also signed a joint statement on the strengthening of “comprehensive cooperation” in the interest of both countries.</p>
<figure class="media w-full w-full media--left media--embed ">

<p>Speaking on the occasion, PM Shehbaz termed Islamabad as the Kyrgyz president’s “second home”. “There cannot be a better moment of joy and bliss for all of us.”</p>
<p>Noting that a Kyrgyz president was visiting Pakistan after a period of 20 years, the premier said that “this gap between two brotherly countries is not acceptable”. “As I said, it’s never too late,” he added, extending the visiting dignitary a warm welcome.</
