TEHRAN: The first bodies of Iranians killed in a deadly stampede at the Hajj arrived home from Saudi Arabia on Saturday, after a controversial nine-day delay and questions over the final death toll. President Hassan Rouhani and other top officials laid white flowers on coffins at a sombre repatriation ceremony for the 104 pilgrims - among at least 464 Iranians who died in the September 24 crush.
WASHINGTON: The US First Lady Michelle Obama and Maryam Nawaz, daughter of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday vowed to work for promotion of education in Pakistan that intend to benefit 200,000 young girls. Speaking at an event "Let Girls Learn" at the White House both sides committed to closely work together to expand opportunities for the education of young girls in Pakistan and women empowerment.
The confidence should be extra super in a super power country like the US. But, this time round again, Nawaz Sharif is carrying a chit in his hand. The Prime Minister cannot help it. The most of the time, he was preoccupied with hiding it.
