In recognition of her achievement in successfully summiting the world’s highest peak Mount Everest, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday approved the conferment of civil award Sitara-i-Imtiaz on renowned mountaineer Naila Kiani.

Kiani Sunday summited Mount Everest — becoming the second Pakistani woman to raise the country’s flag at the world’s highest peak. Samina Baig was the first woman mountaineer from Pakistan to scale the mighty Everest in 2013.

The Prime Minister’s Office issued a notification, containing the prime minister’s approval for the conferment of the award on the mountaineer.

The PM Office has directed the cabinet secretary to complete all the formalities in this regard.

Earlier, the PM had announced to confer Sitara-i-Imtiaz on Kiani as she brought laurels to Pakistan, through her achievement.

It is pertinent to mention here that Kiani — just two days after summitting the world’s highest mountain Everest — Tuesday morning became the first Pakistani woman to summit six 8,000-meter mountains after she successfully scaled Mount Lhotse in Nepal.

Lhotse is the fourth highest mountain in the world at 8,516 metres, after Mount Everest, K2, and Kangchenjunga.

The PTI Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur should not have used offensive language during the PTI rally, according to Senator Talal Chaudhry, since such threats and rhetoric degrade politicians’ dignity.

He stated at a press conference that dramatisation and juggling are not the ways in which movements are successful. Both NRO and pardon for the PTI leadership are off the table. He declared that we would work to pass laws that would guarantee Pakistan’s political stability.

The senator for the PML-N stated that Tosha Khana’s 190 million pounds and money should be returned.

PTI disregarded the Islamabad administration’s affidavit regarding the rally and continued to stage rallies using Khyber Pakhtunkhwa tax dollars.

He claimed that at the rally, threats were made against national institutions and that no one discussed the state of the nation’s economy—only the Adiala jail inmate was yelled at.

He added that PTI will no longer be supported from anyplace during the speech. The authorities made no attempts to impede the rally’s planning. A breach of the meeting’s rules and regulations will be brought before the court.
