It is an open secret that the candidates for the Senate elections are mostly chosen by powerful party leaders. Many experts in Pakistan, who questioned the timing of such a doctrine, saw it as a direct threat to the country's democratic process. The long shadow of the military, in conjunction with the judiciary, is likely to continue to hover over the emerging political order.

It is clear that most of the country's law enforcement and investigative agencies are already operating under the watch of the security establishment, he added. After a winning foray into popular politics, Nawaz Sharif lost to the establishment in the Senate election game. The long shadow of the military, in conjunction with the judiciary, will hover over the emerging political structure.

It is clear that most of the country's law enforcement and investigative agencies already operate under the supervision of the security establishment.

SECURITY SITUATION

As always, we are told that "poor us" have once again become victims of the American-Indian conspiracy. At the same time, the government is putting on a brave face and telling people not to worry about being put on the gray list. But what worries the analysts is that this time we have been put on the watchlist at the behest of the US, which in collaboration with India is pursuing a hostile policy towards Pakistan.

Some of the measures were taken at the last minute before going to the Paris FATF meeting. For example, Pakistan has promulgated an ordinance aimed at reining in LeT, Al-Qaeda and Taliban, etc. Apparently the move by the Pakistani establishment to accept the fatwa of more than 1800 Ulema from different sects shows that these non-state Jihadi groups are in the process of being contained or at least that is what we want to tell the world that Pakistan would not support private Jihadis of terrorist groups in Afghanistan and India. It is because of such a policy of using non-state actors as an instrument of our national security and foreign policy that Pakistan was left to fend for itself at the Paris meeting.

In most cases, the philanthropists have no idea where the money is being used. In their heads, the government should have regulated the charity in the first place to operate. Not only are they victimized in terms of human services, education and legacy, but in addition they move much of the time to become victims of aggressive behavior at home, barbaric and forbidden traditions, for example, karo-kari and marrying the Koran to keep the family property within the family.

Qamar Cheema, Daily Times, 24 March 26. The five parties are certainly not on the same page on various issues, but the MMA has been revived nonetheless because Islamist leaders believe it is time for spiritual cleansing of their followers. According to the MMA, the last time it raised its head was due to anti-American sentiments, which were ripe due to American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. The MMA considers itself a consortium of political parties that believe in evolution, not revolution, and wants to use US discriminatory policies in the Muslim world as an apolitical tool that blames Western powers for the conflicts in the Muslim world.

PROVINCES & REGIONS

Imran Khan's party has spent much of the last eight years making accusations of entering into a certain understanding with the military establishment. The fact that the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) was notified by the CM Secretariat is significant, given that Abdul Quddus Bizenjo is also part of the new structure. Indeed, there has long been controversy that the military establishment may have supported the political upheaval that has hit Balochistan since the beginning of the year.

"Manzoor Pashtun, Manzoor Pashtun", the young star and leader of the sit-in, was enthusiastically and unequivocally chanted by thousands of protesters. With great zeal, the participants of the march intercepted every speaker who repeated the long-standing myth of. No more death,” the crowd howled, mockingly asking, “what ghairat (honor) is it to live under the colonially sanctioned FCR?” Indeed, tears welled up in the eyes of Manzoor Pashtun and other men as they recounted stories of torture. of the Pakistani army and the suffering of hundreds of women belies such a narrative about Pashtun men.

What is even more horrifying to watch unfold is the reminder of the enormous sacrifices made by the people of Peshawar, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at large, as well as Quetta during the 'war on terror'. The self-correction of democracy, one of the most powerful social forces in the world. Cases have been registered in Balochistan against PTM leaders, including 24-year-old Manzoor Pashteen, for violating sections 153 (incitement with intent to cause riot) and 153-A (causing enmity among groups) of the penal code.

However, most of the coverage of the problems faced by the Pashtuns is in the print media rather than the much more popular broadcast media. The people of Kashmir in India have to live under the suffocating footprint of the Indian Army. The next step would be to take Sehrai to the "hot seat" or chairmanship of the Hurriyat Conference.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDIA

India is now doing everything it can to appeal to China's sensitivities, even if it means stepping back from the muscular nationalism that has characterized the BJP's approach to its neighbours. Earlier ephemeral institutional frameworks are back at the center of a more realistic policy being formulated by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) as there is a realization that not much has worked in India's favour, with the exception of relations with Iran. Convinced of their latent superiority, the saffron brigade of Hindu supremacists believe that China is a rival to be fought and that India and the US are natural allies in such a project.

To concede that China is more powerful and far too rich to be considered in the same league as India is anathema to it. Frustration with the government's inability to deal with the volatile Pakistan border prompted another general to declare. Despite the fact that India's rampant military modernization is the primary impetus behind South Asian instability, global power's economic needs in South Asia are also undermining delicate conventional parity between India and Pakistan.

Much of the US supplied weapons technology to India is more useful against Pakistan in a conventional warfare. India pursues a policy of coercion primarily at the regional level, against Pakistan which shares a history of hostility and violence over long-standing territorial disputes such as Kashmir. There is growing perception in New Delhi that militarily strong India can dictate South Asia.

That is why India has consistently opposed diplomacy and dialogue for peaceful resolution of disputes. India has tried to create an environment conducive to waging a limited war against Pakistan. Therefore, India not only developed its military doctrine, the Cold Start Doctrine, but also initiated and sponsored a sub-conventional war in Pakistan's chaotic Balochistan province.

URDU & ELECTRONIC MEDIA

The fact is that every day Kashmir is witnessing brutality against children, youth, elderly and women. The fact that he could travel without patrol in the state meant that the state was coming out of militancy. He appeared too critical of the previous PML-N government led by Sanaullah Zehri, which was forced to resign in response to a no-confidence motion against him by a splinter group of the PML-N led by A Q Bizenjo.

In the latest episode of Jirga, Saleem Safi interviews Pak Sarzmeen Party founder Mustafa Kamal about his party politics and asks him about the political turmoil in the MQM, of which he was a part. Altaf Hussain destroyed the party as well as many generations of Karachi youth, Altaf Hussain ne Muhajiro ko nuskan pohunchaya hai aur inko ek security risk bana diya hai”. Khurram points out that for 15 years Pakistan and other powers have been discussing and debating the issues of tribal areas, but the region still remains backward and isolated.

It is this educated youth who are now raising questions and asking for their rights within the framework of the Pakistani Constitution. Instead of repeating the debate with the same stakeholders as in the past, it is time for the government to listen to the narrative of the youth of this region who have something fresh and new to add to the entire Pashtun debate. Adding to that the mainstream media they depend on for news has failed to get to the bottom of the issue, of why the movement in the first place.

It should be noted that Nawaz Sharif has recently said that he should not have highlighted the memo gate scandal and Shabaz Sharif is lecturing on why it is the need of the hour for all to unite for the sake of Pakistan. Given this, questions are being asked in Pakistan whether Nawaz Sharif feels guilty about his actions in the past. Mazar Abbas is of the opinion that the meeting between PM and CJ should not have taken place at this very time when Pakistan's politics is in a mess.
