The recent remarks made by the Indian Army Chief, insinuating that Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism, are not only factually incorrect but also reflect a futile attempt to distract the world from India’s own acts of brutality. These statements are a classic example of India’s deflection tactic, blaming Pakistan for the indigenous reaction to its state-sponsored brutality. This rhetoric is not a new one. It is an ongoing effort to mask India’s human rights violations, particularly in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK), where the Indian Army Chief himself played a key role in overseeing some of the…
In a remarkable achievement, security forces in North Waziristan have successfully eliminated four Khawarij (foreign terrorists), further solidifying Pakistan’s ongoing war against terrorism.

The recent revelations of serious irregularities in the implementation of the Benazir Nashunama Programme (BNP) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) highlight a critical moral and governance failure, underscoring the provincial government’s misplaced priorities and inability to effectively serve its people. These issues, which include financial misappropriations, ghost employees, and the absence of proper monitoring systems, reveal a disturbing pattern of bad governance that reflects a failure to prioritize the welfare of citizens over political interests. At its core, the BNP aims to support pregnant and breastfeeding women, along with children under five, by providing vital nutritional food supplements and services to…
The politics of PTI’s founder and his party are built on lies, negative propaganda, and chaos. The founder of PTI seems to believe that if he and his party are not in power, it is necessary to launch a campaign that deteriorates the nation’s economy, security, and public safety. This narrative aims to project Pakistan as an unstable country, thereby discouraging foreign investment and leading the international community to believe that Pakistan is unsafe, which gives the PTI founder a reason to justify his actions and prove himself right. Statements from PTI’s founder, coming regularly from Adiala Jail, have become…

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) recently convened a joint parliamentary meeting, ostensibly to strategize for the upcoming sessions of the National Assembly and Senate. While this might appear as an effort to address pressing national issues, a closer look reveals a troubling pattern: the party’s reliance on baseless claims of political victimization and alleged human rights violations against its members as a manipulative tactic to sway public sentiment. PTI’s claims of victimization and human rights abuses appear to be a calculated move to divert attention from its own governance shortcomings and political missteps. Rather than engaging in meaningful debate on issues…
In recent years, Afghanistan has become a stronghold for international terrorist organizations, a development that has far-reaching implications for regional and global security. Since the Afghan interim government assumed power, groups like the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Al-Qaeda, ISIS-K, and ISKP have gained significant footholds, exploiting Afghan soil for operational and logistical purposes. The refusal of the interim Afghan government to take decisive action against these organizations has not only destabilized the region but has also led to mounting tensions with neighboring countries like Pakistan and Iran. Pakistan has repeatedly provided irrefutable evidence of the presence and activities of terrorist networks…
