Leadership is not about fiery speeches or dramatic protests; it is about responsibility, action, and results. While the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government continues its political agitation, the province it governs—Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP)—languishes in administrative neglect. The situation raises a crucial question: Shouldn’t governance be about delivering for the people rather than engaging in relentless political theatrics? Despite being in power in KP for over a decade, PTI’s provincial government has little to show in terms of substantial progress. Instead of setting an example of effective governance, KP has become a province where grand promises have routinely outpaced real accomplishments. In…

The Afghan interim government has long claimed to be a champion of stability and peace, yet recent events paint a different picture. Reports from Pakistan suggest a disturbing pattern: the Afghan government has been quietly accepting the bodies of terrorists killed in security operations. This raises serious questions about their role in supporting extremist elements like Fitna-e-Khawarij. On February 6, 2025, Pakistani security forces killed Luqman Khan, an Afghan terrorist from Khost, during an operation. The Afghan authorities promptly accepted his body, just as they had done for Ahmad Ilyas, alias Badruddin, a terrorist killed earlier in Dera Ismail Khan.…
In his recent address in Muzaffarabad, Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir reinforced a deeply-rooted belief that shapes Pakistan’s stance on Kashmir: the struggle for self-determination and justice is not merely a political or territorial battle but a sacred duty driven by faith, piety, and perseverance. This perspective draws heavily on religious and moral principles that have long been central to Pakistan’s national narrative. Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Kashmiri cause has always been rooted in values of justice and human dignity. General Munir’s statement that “Faith, piety, and struggle in the path of Allah (Jehad fi Sabilillah)…
In Islamabad, a significant rally took place at Constitution Avenue, where participants gathered to express their solidarity with the Kashmiri cause. At 10 AM, sirens sounded across the nation, followed by a minute of silence to honor the martyrs who have sacrificed their lives in the struggle for Kashmir’s autonomy.

The Legislative Assembly of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) held a special session in Muzaffarabad, emphasizing the deep-rooted connection between Pakistan and the Kashmiri people.

Pakistan’s Ambassador to the UAE, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, has laid out a clear vision for Pakistanis to shift focus from low-wage, unskilled labor to high-paying, skilled jobs in the UAE. During an interview with Gulf News, Tirmizi stressed that the era of unskilled workers easily finding jobs is coming to an end. Instead, he highlighted the demand for professionals in fields like IT, accounting, healthcare, artificial intelligence, banking, and aviation. This shift is crucial for both economic growth and Pakistan’s global potential. Skilled workers can earn salaries starting at Dh20,000, compared to the modest Dh1,000 earned by unskilled labor. By…
Afghanistan is once again at a crossroads as reports emerge of a political coup within the Taliban. Sirajuddin Haqqani, a figure long associated with the Haqqani Network, has allegedly seized control, marking a significant shift in the country’s leadership. This development suggests a culmination of the growing divide between the so-called “Kandahar Taliban” faction, led by Maulavi Haibatullah Akhundzada, and the “Kabul Taliban,” dominated by the Haqqani family. This internal power struggle has been simmering for years. The Taliban, after regaining control in 2021, attempted to project unity, but factional differences persisted. Haibatullah Akhundzada, ruling from Kandahar, represented the more…
Pakistan has announced plans to deport thousands of Afghan refugees unless their relocation cases are processed by host countries, particularly the United States. This decision follows the U.S. government’s recent suspension of its refugee program, which has left nearly 20,000 Afghans in Pakistan in a state of limbo. Many of these refugees fear for their safety if they are sent back to Afghanistan, where the Taliban’s rule has made life precarious for those who fled. Despite these challenges, Pakistan has shown significant patience and support for Afghan refugees over decades, accommodating millions who have sought safety from war and instability.…
