Pakistan is currently passing through a highly sensitive and decisive phase in its history, where it is simultaneously confronted with challenges such as internal security threats, border tensions, economic pressure, and ideological warfare. Among all institutions, if there is one that has consistently made sacrifices silently, selflessly, and without seeking recognition, it is the Pakistan […]
Martyrdom, the Ultimate Objective of a True Believer
Through this column, I would like to appeal to those individuals who criticise the army to take a moment and reflect on the life of a soldier. A soldier spends his entire life enduring the hardships of rigorous training, stands eye to eye with the enemy at the border, confronts conspiracies, and tolerates taunts and […]
Stability and Pak Army
Pakistan stands at a critical juncture where internal security, regional politics, economic pressures, and global diplomatic challenges are deeply intertwined. In such circumstances, a clear, unequivocal, and timely stance by state institutions particularly the armed forces not only strengthens national confidence but also sends a firm message to hostile elements. In this context, the 273rd […]
Two-Nation Theory and Pakistan-Bangladesh
The Two-Nation Theory has long been the most contested idea to emerge from the political history of the subcontinent. Its critics have repeatedly declared it obsolete, defeated, or buried under the weight of subsequent events. Yet history has a way of resurfacing truths that power politics tries to suppress. In recent years, Bangladesh’s renewed assertion […]
Message of 16 December
Whenever the month of December arrives, and the sixteenth day of this month comes around, it reminds us that Pakistan’s eastern wing was separated from us due to India’s conspiracies and the negligence of some of our own people. At the same time, this very date, 16 December, also marks the APS tragedy, in which […]
Historic Decision and Strong Defence
In Pakistan’s military and political history, those moments have always been milestones when harmony, prudence, and timely decisions between state institutions give the country a new direction. The announcement issued by the Presidency has presented the nation with such a decision, one that can be considered equivalent to restructuring Pakistan’s defence system and establishing it […]
Symbol of Stability
In Pakistan’s military history, there have been many moments when the national leadership not only needed exceptional foresight but also had to adopt such political and strategic measures that could uphold the prestige of the state while safeguarding national security amid internal and external pressures. In the present era, this responsibility rests on the shoulders […]
Afghanistan’s Illusion of Trade Routes
In international relations, geography often dictates economic realities more firmly than political rhetoric. Afghanistan, a country long troubled by internal conflict and external dependence, continues to describe itself as the “heart of Asia.” Yet the hard truth is that its geography neither supports this claim nor provides the economic leverage often projected by its leadership. […]
Terrorism and Sri Lanka’s Exemplary Friendship
Pakistan is currently passing through multiple challenges. On one hand, there is a new wave of terrorism that has once again tested the country’s peace and security, and on the other hand, there are the policies of certain regional countries that keep Pakistan under constant pressure. The heartbreaking suicide attack that took place a few […]
Afghanistan and Ungratefulness
Pakistan has always been guided by the principles of peace, brotherhood, and Islamic solidarity, but it is regrettable that the very Afghanistan for which we opened our doors, whose wounded we treated in our hospitals, and whose millions of refugees we welcomed into our homes and hearts, is today the soil from which bullets are […]
