In recent years, Pakistan’s political discourse has transformed into a battleground of extremist narratives and digital echo chambers. Critics argue that by refusing to participate in key national events, staging disruptive protests, and surrendering to the pressures of an unaccountable digital mob, the PTI is actively deepening the nation’s divisions. From National Unity Forums to […]
Reviving the National Action Plan
The recent hijacking of the Jaffar Express by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has once again underscored the persistent threat posed by militant groups in Pakistan. This brazen attack, resulting in the tragic loss of innocent lives, serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to reassess and revitalize our counterterrorism strategies. Central to […]
Wakhan Corridor
The Wakhan Corridor-a narrow strip of land carved during the colonial era-stands today as a haunting relic and a strategic vulnerability. It is an unchecked gateway through which Afghan-based terrorists can spill over into Pakistan, China, and Central Asia. Unacceptable. Unforgivable. Historically, the Wakhan Corridor was designed by the British as a buffer between colonial […]
Triumph on the Global Stage

Progress and Protests
The writing on the wall is clear: hard work is finally beginning to yield results as Pakistan experiences notable progress on both political and economic fronts. While the government is implementing comprehensive reforms that are beginning to stabilize the economy and address inflation, trade relationships, and growth, a troubling trend is re-emerging from the Pakistan […]
Reality of CPEC Propaganda
It is very easy to rain on someone else’s parade while sitting miles away. The recent article published in Guardian, “What Went Wrong with Pakistan’s Dubai?” does just that; painting a distorted picture of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as an economic burden. Given how the propaganda is making waves in all directions, becoming easy […]
