For over a decade, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has held the reins in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. With lofty promises of change, accountability, and institutional reform, the people of KP were led to believe that a new era was upon them. But twelve years later, the results are glaring—and damning. A cursory look at KP’s performance in governance, infrastructure, education, and public welfare paints a picture of abandonment. Hospitals remain overburdened, schools are under-equipped, and basic infrastructure—especially in rural districts—is either broken or non-existent. PTI’s promises of a model province have morphed into a running joke for citizens who face the consequences daily.…

For a nation as strategically located and historically burdened as Pakistan, managing borders is never just a logistical issue—it’s a security imperative, a humanitarian concern, and a diplomatic balancing act rolled into one. The western frontier, particularly the border with Afghanistan, has long been a space of both brotherhood and volatility. It has seen waves of refugees, insurgent threats, and crossborder smuggling, all layered over by cultural ties that span generations. This complex terrain has forced Pakistan into a continuous state of strategic recalibration—most recently seen through the implementation of the Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan (IFRP). At its core, the…
In South Asia, where ancient cultures bleed across modern borders, the idea of “home” is far more complex than a national identity card. Families span states, dialects ignore passports, and decades of displacement blur the lines of belonging. Against this backdrop, forced repatriations stir not just political debates—but ethical ones. Pakistan’s current repatriation plan, particularly concerning undocumented Afghan migrants, has ignited international commentary. But to understand its ethical foundation, one must look beyond headlines and into the deeper layers of responsibility, security, and statecraft. Pakistan has long been a host to one of the largest refugee populations in the world—mostly…
At the crossroads of history and geography lies Pakistan—a country whose strategic location has made it both a gateway and a guardian. Nowhere is this dual role more evident than in its policy toward neighboring Afghanistan. For decades, Pakistan has extended support to Afghan nationals during some of their darkest hours. Millions found refuge across the border as wars ravaged their homeland. Schools, camps, and aid were provided, often without international recognition of the sheer weight Pakistan bore. But today, in the shadow of modern security concerns and shifting regional dynamics, the conversation has evolved—from hospitality to regulation. The principle…
In a region historically defined by porous frontiers and shared heritage, Pakistan and Afghanistan stand as two nations bound by deep cultural, linguistic, and tribal ties. Yet, in today’s rapidly shifting geopolitical climate, these very connections also present one of Pakistan’s most complex policy challenges: how to uphold brotherhood while enforcing sovereignty. For over four decades, Pakistan has been a primary host for Afghan refugees, offering shelter and support during times of war, political upheaval, and humanitarian crises. From the 1980s Soviet invasion to the post-2001 conflict and the more recent transition of power in Kabul, Pakistan has opened its…
For decades, India has employed a combination of espionage, terrorism, and misinformation to systematically weaken Pakistan from within. Nowhere is this agenda more evident than in Balochistan, a strategically significant province that is home to the ChinaPakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a gamechanging project for Pakistan’s economic future. From the capture of RAW agent Kulbhushan Jadhav to the ongoing sponsorship of Baloch separatist militants, India’s footprints in the region are undeniable. As Pakistan strengthens its ties with China and pushes forward with largescale development projects in Balochistan, India has intensified its efforts to derail progress. Its latest tool? A digital war…
Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest and most resourcerich province, has been a prime target of India’s covert operations for years. From funding terrorist organizations to spreading disinformation, India has systematically waged a proxy war to destabilize the region and sabotage Pakistan’s progress. The latest chapter in this campaign is the false narrative that Chinese private military companies (PMCs) are operating in Balochistanan outright lie manufactured by Indian media and amplified by hostile intelligence networks. This hybrid warfarecombining physical terror with digital deceptionexposes India’s desperation to derail the ChinaPakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and keep Balochistan in a state of unrest. India’s involvement in…
In an era where information is as powerful as military might, disinformation has become a strategic weapon. India’s latest propaganda against Pakistanclaiming that Chinese private military companies (PMCs) are operating in Balochistanis a textbook example of misinformation warfare. This baseless narrative, aggressively pushed by Indian media and intelligencebacked digital networks, serves a dual purpose: to undermine the ChinaPakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and to justify continued interference in Balochistan through proxy groups. The allegations of Chinese PMCs in Pakistan first surfaced in Indian media outlets such as India Today, which presented them without credible evidence. The claim suggested that China had…
Misinformation is a powerful weapon one that India has been wielding against Pakistan for years. The latest episode in this relentless propaganda war is the false claim that Chinese private military companies (PMCs) are being deployed in Balochistan to protect CPEC projects. This baseless assertion, spearheaded by Indian media outlets like India Today, is nothing more than an extension of India’s longstanding strategy to malign Pakistan, undermine CPEC, and support destabilizing elements in Balochistan. India’s approach follows a predictable pattern. First, a sensational claim emerges in its mainstream media, supported by fabricated “sources” and “reports.” Next, these falsehoods are amplified…
For years, Pakistan has been on the frontlines of the global fight against terrorism, facing challenges that many nations would struggle to contain. From battling insurgencies within its borders to dismantling terror networks that threaten regional stability, Pakistan’s counterterrorism strategy has proven to be highly effective. Now, as US intelligence agencies finally acknowledge the threat posed by the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the world must recognize Pakistan’s role as a leader in counterterrorism efforts. Unlike many other countries that selectively engage in counterterrorism efforts, Pakistan has consistently demonstrated a no-tolerance policy toward militancy. The state, led by its armed forces…
