An overseas Pakistani, Mohammed Inam from Islamabad, has secured a jackpot prize worth 15 million dirhams in the United Arab Emirates.
Inam, currently residing in the UAE and working as a finance auditor in Abu Dhabi, achieved millionaire status by winning the Easy6 game at the Emirates Draw.
When converted to Pakistani rupees, the prize money amounts to approximately one billion one hundred fifty million five hundred thousand.
Inam, expressing his joy, revealed his plans to fulfill his lifelong dream of performing Hajj, describing it as a spiritually significant journey.
Inam began purchasing tickets in 2021 after coming across an advertisement on social media. He credited his persistence for the positive outcome, stating, “Alhamdulillah, many of my plans can now be materialized.”
The win came as a surprise to him as he randomly selected the winning numbers and wasn’t initially aware of the chosen sequence.
Despite the significant windfall, Inam expressed humility, mentioning that he would postpone further investments and expenditures until after his family’s Hajj pilgrimage.
His post-Hajj plans include investing in the UAE’s real estate market and purchasing a family car. Additionally, he intends to allocate a portion of his winnings to charitable causes, reflecting a commitment to giving back.
Senate Human Rights Committee Rejects Public Executions for Capital Offences
Meanwhile, the Senate’s Standing Committee on Human Rights, with a majority of members present, rejected any proposed statutory amendments advocating public execution for capital offenses.
During a meeting at the Parliament House chaired by Senator Walid Iqbal, the committee, through a majority vote, asserted that such amendments, involving public executions for serious crimes, should be opposed based on the constitutional rights guaranteed by superior courts and existing laws in Pakistan.
The committee urged the House to reject any such amendments if presented on its legislative agenda.
However, Senators Dr. Mehr Taj Roghani and Dr. Humayun Mohmand dissented, expressing disagreement with the committee’s decision, arguing that it was made hastily without proper research on the potential deterrent effects of public executions.
The committee received detailed briefings from the Secretary of the Ministry of Human Rights and the Secretary of the National Commission for Human Rights on public executions.
