ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has ordered the station house officer (SHO) of Noon Police Station to submit a detailed report on the disappearance of two brothers of journalist Ahmed Noorani, who is currently living in the United States.

Mr Noorani, who works for a news outlet called FactFocus, recently published an investigative report regarding a serving high-ranking military official and his relatives.

Mr Noorani’s mother filed a petition with the IHC seeking recovery of her two sons.

During the hearing, Justice Raja Inaam Ameen Minhas questioned the police about their investigation.

Advocate Imaan Hazir Mazari, representing the petitioner, criticised authorities for not registering an FIR despite three days passing since the incident.

Mr Noorani’s mother, Amina Bashir, urged the high court to seek an immediate response from the police.

The court gave the SHO until March 24 to submit a written report. Justice Minhas also warned the SHO that failure to provide a satisfactory update to the court could result in summoning the Islamabad Inspector General of Police in the matter.

In her petition, Ms Bashir stated that her two sons have been forcibly disappeared from their home in Islamabad’s Sector I-14 in the early hours of Wednesday.

The family has accused intelligence agencies of orchestrating the abduction, allegedly in retaliation for Mr Noorani’s recent reporting.

Mr Noorani’s FactFocus website remains inaccessible in Pakistan.

The two brothers of Mr Noorani, Muhammad Saifur Rehman Haider and Muhammad Ali, both engineers by profession, were taken from their residence at around 1am.

According to their mother, around two dozen unidentified individuals stormed the family’s home, forcibly entered the premises and took her two sons away.

The family also said that the assailants also confiscated their mobile phones and deleted footage of the incident, recorded by one of their family members.

The petition cited the government, the Ministry of Defence, the Islamabad inspector general of police, and the SHO of Police Station Noon as respondents in the case.

Americans are voting with their feet and a new analysis shows Texas and Florida are projected to gain electoral college votes in 2030 while California and New York will lose votes.

These new numbers confirm Americans are rejected the Democrats’ liberal, pro-abortion agenda as they move to pro-life conservative states that better represent their family values.

Texas is on a trajectory to significantly enhance its political influence by potentially gaining four congressional seats following the 2030 Census. This anticipated growth underscores the state’s robust population increase and economic vitality, positioning it as a pivotal player in national politics.

The state’s burgeoning population is a testament to its business-friendly environment, low taxes, and commitment to pro-life and family values—principles that have long been championed by Republicans. The state was the first America, even before Dobbs, to protect babies from abortions. These factors have attracted families and businesses seeking opportunities and freedom, contributing to Texas’s demographic expansion.

With the addition of these congressional seats, Texas will wield greater influence in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Electoral College. The Republican-controlled state legislature will oversee the redistricting process, ensuring that the new congressional maps are drawn to reflect the interests and values of conservative Texans.

Meanwhile, Florida is right behind, which is also expected to gain four seats according to data from the American Redistricting Project (ARP).

On the Democrat side, California is projected to lose three seats, and New York to lose two.

In fact, recent figures show that most of the states currently gaining in population are pro-life are pro-life red states while most of the states losing population are pro-abortion blue states. This bodes well for future presidential and Congressional elections, to keep the White House and Congress in pro-life Republican hands and away from radical pro-abortion Democrats who want abortions up to birth nationwide.
