On July 15, 2025, Zulfi Bukhari appeared before the Tom Lantos Commission, painting a grim, yet utterly baseless, picture of Pakistan’s democratic health. His testimony, a familiar symphony of victimhood and unsubstantiated allegations, offered nothing new, merely rehashing a narrative designed to garner international sympathy at the expense of national truth. It is necessary to […]
The PTI Playbook
Enough. Azma Bukhari has said what many of us have long suspected: the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf operates a finely tuned machine of coercion, not a political party. This calculated strategy deliberately grinds down opponents, paralyzing the state with abuse, wild allegations, cynical victimhood, and outright falsehoods. Remember 2023? Any PTI arrest was instantly an “abduction.” Such […]
Hijacking Balochistan
Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest and most resource-rich province, yet it is most politically fragile. It stretches across nearly half the country’s landmass and hosts reserves of natural gas, coal, copper, and gold. However, its human development indices remain among the lowest nationwide. For decades, its people have lived in the tension between marginalization and militancy, […]
From Code to Competitive Edge
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has stepped out of science fiction and into the heartbeat of our daily lives. From crafting viral social media posts to producing animated movies and composing music, AI has become the ultimate multipurpose tool for creativity, research, and information. But that is not all. AI, as its core objective, is revolutionizing software […]
FAK’s Expanding Reach
Something deeply unsettling is taking shape across the western border. It’s something the world’s seen play out before, and frankly, it’s exhausting watching it repeat. Fitna-al-Khwarij (FAK), a group long recognized by the United Nations as a terrorist organization, is no longer operating in isolation. It has evolved, quietly but efficiently, into a central hub […]
RAW’s Brutal Agenda
On March 25, 2025, the United States Commission on Human Rights released a bombshell report that has shaken the foundations of India’s so-called democratic image. For years, human rights defenders and minority communities have sounded the alarm on covert operations carried out by India’s intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). This time, it’s […]
The Shadow of Synthetic Deception
We live in a world where information spreads at lightning speed, but the truth is increasingly fragile. Artificial intelligence, once seen as a force for good, has been weaponized to undermine trust and sow discord. The digital sphere, initially envisioned as a global utopia of shared knowledge, has become a battleground. Here, deepfakes and AI-generated […]
Kabul – Chaos and Terrorism
As three and a half years of the Islamic Emirate’s (IAG) rule in Kabul march forward, chaos and instability reign. The rise of the Islamic State’s Khorasan Province (ISKP) within Afghanistan has worsened an already precarious security situation. This growing threat doesn’t just loom over IAG; it extends its shadow across the region, inviting concern […]
Population Explosion
Pakistan is experiencing rapid population growth. By 2025, it’s expected to surpass 240 million people.While this demographic shift presents the potential for economic growth and a youthful labor force, it also introduces significant challenges related to urbanization, governance, and resource management. As more people move to cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad for better job […]
To One Trillion Economy
In a world where economic narratives often veer towards the negative, Pakistan is carving out a distinctly positive trajectory. Recent endorsements by international institutions, particularly from Martin Raiser, the World Bank Vice President for South Asia, highlight an optimistic vision: Pakistan’s economy is poised to reach a staggering $1 trillion by 2035, predicated on the […]
