Remembering Chaudhry Rehmat Ali on the occasion of his birth
Across the country, Sunday (today) is being commemorated as the birth anniversary of the legendary leader Chaudhry Rehmat Ali. He is being honoured for his active participation in the Pakistan Movement and for having coined the term "Pakistan" to refer to the subcontinent's independent homeland, which is now Pakistan.

On November 16, 1897, Chaudhry Rehmat Ali was born into a Muslim Gujjar family in the Indian Punjabi district of Hoshiarpur. He is credited for coining the term "Pakistan," which refers to a distinct Muslim nation in South Asia.

Following his 1918 graduation from Islamia Madrassa in Lahore, he taught at Aitchison College before enrolling at Punjab University (PU) to pursue a legal education.

He relocated to England in 1930 in order to enrol in Emmanuel College Cambridge (ECC). He initially used the term "Pakistan" in a pamphlet titled "Now or Never; Are We to Live or Perish Forever?" published in 1933.

He established the PNM (Pakistan National Movement) in England in 1933. He later graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA and an MA.

He was summoned to the London Bar Middle Temple Inn in 1943.

He continued to publish other books outlining his vision for South Asia until 1947.

One of the most vibrant and active politicians on the subcontinent, Chaudhry Rehmat Ali was instrumental in the founding of Pakistan in a special and admirable way.

He first suggested turning northern India into a Muslim state in 1915 at the first Bazm Shibli session at Islamia College in Lahore, when he was just 18 years old. In 1928, he was hired as a lecturer at Aitchison College.

Chaudhry Rehmat Ali had a connection to media as well. He graduated from Cambridge University with degrees in politics and law in 1933. In the renowned booklet "Now or Never" at the Third Round Table Conference in London, he used the term "Pakistan" for the first time to allude to an independent Muslim state.

Pakistan was finally established on August 14, 1947, when Chaudhry Rehmat Ali's proposed name was accepted. Following his journey to Pakistan in April 1948, Chaudhry Rehmat Ali returned to England following the Quaid-e-Azam's death. He passed away on February 3, 1951, and was buried in Cambridge.

At an estimated cost of Rs21.7 billion, the project is anticipated to generate 207 million units of energy annually, generating an estimated Rs2.4 billion in revenue.

Officials gave a briefing during the opening ceremony, emphasising how the project would boost the province's economic development and energy capability.

Chief Minister Afridi also officially opened the 18.5-kilometer Tormang-Razgram Road, which was finished at a cost of Rs1.5 billion, in addition to the hydropower project.

Afridi, who spoke at the event, stressed that the province is working on long-term plans to use hydropower resources as a basis for economic growth. He pointed out that initiatives generating inexpensive, clean energy will be essential to fostering industrial development and job creation.

The province's first power transmission line, which will enable the transmission of electricity from eleven hydroelectric plants, was also announced by Afridi. Industries will receive power produced by nearby facilities at a reduced cost. "The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have the primary right over their natural resources," he said, promising complete support for the provincial electricity distribution system.

The chief minister voiced concern about the delays in granting No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for the visits of international engineers, which have resulted in setbacks for projects worth billions of rupees. He cautioned that the entire nation is harmed by prolonged delays, not only Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

"I feel proud to see the projects initiated by him," Afridi said in reference to former Prime Minister Imran Khan. These initiatives were started for the general public without taking into account which government would officially launch them.

He also emphasised financial issues, pointing out that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is still owed Rs3 trillion by the federal government, which has yet to be paid.

No Red Notice: Pakistan's plea for Moonis Elahi is decided by Interpol
The case involving Pakistan's request for a Red Notice against Moonis Elahi, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, has been concluded by Interpol.

After a thorough assessment, officials determined that the international policing body had formally disposed of the matter. In order to achieve his arrest overseas, Pakistan had applied to Interpol for the Red Notice.

According to sources, Interpol looked into the request for almost two years, giving all sides a chance to argue their cases. Moonis Elahi also addressed the organisation directly with his position. The International Criminal Police Organization's Secretary General has released a formal letter detailing the decision.

The reports claim that the ruling prohibits Moonis Elahi from being held at any international airport. According to Pakistan's previous request, the PTI leader has been living overseas for a considerable amount of time, and his movements won't result in any Interpol action.

In order to help catch Moonis Elahi, the government had lodged many cases against him and was requesting Interpol's assistance.
