With great power comes great responsibility. The highest offices demand a high degree of duty but there is no such mantra in Modi’s government in India. Earlier, it had orchestrated a drama in Pakistan’s Balakot area while claiming how hundreds of “militants” were killed. Later, the whole story proved to be fake news as their […]

Claiming to be the world’s largest democracy, India is fast becoming the most vulnerable country for minorities, especially Muslims. The Muslims are in continuous danger in India ever since Narendra Modi took over the reins. The minorities are being lynched. Their homes are put on fire while they are being labelled as traitors under the […]

A sharp increase in the incidents of militancy and violence in the last few days in Afghanistan is an alarm bell for both regional and international players. The bloodshed at Kabul airport, the barbarism in Kunduz, the suicide bombings in Kandahar and some other incidents of violence in Jalalabad and Mazar-i-Sharif are more than enough […]

The laurels heaped on the late Dr AQ Khan after his passing, especially the much-deserved state funeral with full honours, was another reminder of how lucky Pakistan has been to have this brave son of the soil.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing humiliation after humiliation. His whole political career is marred with controversies, scams and scandals. During his stint as the chief minister of the Indian state of Gujarat, he used to be called “the butcher of Gujarat.” His hands are still stained with the blood of over 1000 killings […]

Clearly, the Indian government is not leaving any room for de-escalation in Occupied Kashmir. Whatever little hope had finally built up of an international community-driven gradual drawdown was rubbished by how Delhi clamped down on the funeral of the late Syed Ali Geelani. His dead body was snatched from his family members, who were not […]

If there is any loser in Afghanistan other than Ashraf Ghani, it is undoubtedly Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The frustration of the Indian government and media is justified in the face of recent developments because they have lost this game, quite miserably. India’s diplomatic staff fled Kabul in the dark hours after the Taliban’s […]

Every year, September 6 comes as a reminder of the unforgettable tales of bravery and valour that the Pakistan Army had shown in 1965 to defend this homeland. Our armed forces repeatedly showed gallantry during the 1965 war. Even after half a century, these episodes still haunt the Indian forces The generals and officers of […]
