Khalid Latif in Trouble for Inciting Murder of Blasphemer Dutch MP

Former cricketer, Khalid Latif, faced trial on Tuesday in the Netherlands over accusations of inciting the murder of Dutch MP, Geert Wilders, a vocal critic of Islam.

Prosecutors are seeking a 12-year sentence for Latif if convicted, while they allege that in an online video from 2018, Latif offered €21,000 ($23,000) for the killing of Wilders.

Wilders, a far-right politician, planned a Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) caricature competition, however, it was later canceled due to protests and rising death threats.

Prosecutor FA Kuipers argued in court that the intentions of Latif were not only to incite violence resulting in loss of life but also to suppress a Dutch representative.

She highlighted the seriousness of the offense, asserting that calling for murder and offering a monetary reward for killing the organizer of the competition merits punishment.

Latif, nor any legal representation, was present during the hearing, and the Pakistani embassy in the Hague refrained from commenting immediately after the session.

Chielf Selector to Meet Arthur and Babar to Finalize World Cup Squad

Kuipers noted the unsuccessful attempts of the prosecution to contact Latif, seeking legal aid from Islamabad due to the absence of a treaty between the Netherlands and Pakistan.

Under state protection since 2004 for his controversial remarks on Islam, Wilders said threats increased after he suggested the controversial cartoon competition.

Wilders stated that differing contest views do not excuse putting a bounty on life, and he directly told the former cricketer that advocating murder would not silence him.

Govt Prepares to Increase Gas Prices by 60%

The Petroleum Ministry has put together a plan for up to a 60 percent increase in gas prices to curb the sector’s revolving debt on the direction of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Following the federal cabinet’s green light on the proposal and after relevant engagement with the provincial authorities, the new rates will be notified and implemented accordingly, local media reported earlier today.

A new gas rate will be set for the entire country based on the weighted average cost of gas. Regardless of where an individual lives, all consumers will pay the same.

The current price of domestic petrol is $8 per MMBtu, while imported LNG is $13 per MMBtu. The Petroleum Ministry intends to close the $5 difference between these two grades through the swift implementation of its latest proposal to hike gas prices for every consumer. This will help to lower the gas sector’s revolving debt.

The new plan is expected to address LNG consumption for manufacturing of fertilizers. Currently, producers get LNG at discounted rates, which has so far continued to widen the revolving debt. After the implementation of the new plan, manufacturers would be required to pay the full market price for LNG.

The coming few months will most likely see the Petroleum Ministry’s new plan in action. Consequently, it will have a big impact on consumers across the board.

This development comes after analyst expectations that the IMF would raise questions over the federal government’s decision to delay notifying the increase in gas tariff determined by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority back in June.

Despite public outcry for relief on energy bills, the government has no better choice but to raise the gas rate by over 50 percent. The aforesaid plan could offer an urgent cover to the caretaker setup as it struggles to manage the economy, with the revolving debt of the country being at the forefront of its priorities.
