Amid the intensifying operations of Indian proxies inside Pakistan, particularly across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, a crunch question comes to the fore: what are the real objectives of this hybrid militant network, one that curiously blends religious extremists like TTP with ostensibly secular outfits such as the BLA under Indian patronage? Is its focus confined […]
Aasiya Andrabi: Can Occupation Criminalise Resistance?
In India, a Hindutva-driven judiciary has handed down a life sentence to Aasiya Andrabi, while Fahmeeda Sofi and Nahida Nasreen have been given thirty years each. Their crime, we are told, is waging war against the state. The case itself is riddled with familiar patterns, fabricated charges, political victimisation, and the steady criminalisation of Kashmiri […]
Managing Threats across the Afghan Border
Pakistan and Afghanistan are neighbours. Ideally, their relationship could have been built on trade, commerce, and shared prosperity. The border between the two countries could have been a bridge of opportunity, a gateway to regional growth. Instead, it has become a corridor of fear. Suicide attackers cross into Pakistan. Drones strike from Afghan soil. What […]
Effects of Prolonged Indian Suppression on Kashmiris’ Mental Health
The prolonged Indian occupation has terribly damaged the mental health of Kashmiris. The psychological agony in the valley runs deep, yet the world’s attention has largely remained elsewhere. Humanity in Kashmir, at the hands of Hindutva, is as wounded as it is in Palestine under Zionist oppression. Over a hundred thousand people have lost their […]
Hindutva and Zionism: A Threat to Muslim Civilization
The growing strategic understanding between Narendra Modi and Benjamin Netanyahu is a civilizational and geopolitical threat to the Muslim world. The ongoing military confrontation involving direct Israeli attacks on Iran has intensified regional instability and confirms the dangerous direction of this alliance. What is unfolding before the world is the convergence of Hindutva and Zionist […]
Terrorism, Counter Terrorism and Post Terrorism
Pakistan’s recent cross-border strikes were driven by necessity. The situation had reached a point where Pakistan could no longer rely on restraint as a response to continuing attacks planned and launched from sanctuaries across the Afghan border. With repeated assaults targeting Pakistani civilians and security personnel, there was no practical option left but to act. […]
CPI 2025: Pakistan Moves Forward
Corruption cannot be eradicated overnight, nor can transparency be achieved through slogans or short-term gestures. The roots of institutional decay run deep, embedded in decades of structural weaknesses and governance challenges. Reform, by its very nature, demands patience, continuity, and political will. Those who expect transformation in the blink of an eye misunderstand the scale […]
Forgotten Principle of Kashmir’s Right to Self-Determination
A fundamental aspect of the Kashmiri right to self-determination has been overlooked. Prolonged occupation does not confer ownership, and despite decades of illegal occupation, India does not own Kashmir’s natural resources. These resources belong to the Kashmiri people and cannot be used or exploited without their consent. Once this principle is properly understood, the entire […]
Was Pakistan Right to Join the Gaza Peace Board?
Is Pakistan’s decision to join the Gaza Peace Board the right one? The answer is a clear yes. To understand this, we must look at the issue in its proper context. Pakistan’s position on Palestine has always been firm and consistent. From day one, it has recognised the Palestinian right to self-determination. It has never […]
False-Flag Operations: Central to India’s Strategic Doctrine?
From Pathankot to Pulwama, from Pahalgam to Kishtwar, a disturbing pattern keeps repeating itself. The question that now demands serious attention is whether India has formally adopted false flag operations as a central pillar of its strategic doctrine against Pakistan. The ongoing situation in Kishtwar offers a textbook illustration of this pattern. For the fifth […]
