The Tirah Valley migration crisis of January 2026 stands as a stark testament to the failures of political leadership in KPK. Under the governance of PTI, what could have been a managed, voluntary relocation turned into a humanitarian debacle, with thousands of residents trapped in heavy snowfall, facing shortages of food, shelter, and transport. Tirah Valley, nestled in the Khyber district of KPK, has long been a region plagued by security challenges, including the presence of terrorist elements affiliated with groups like the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other militant outfits. The valley’s rugged terrain and proximity to the Afghan border…

In a decisive move to uphold national security, Islamabad police arrested prominent lawyer Iman Mazari and her husband Hadi Ali Chatta near Serena Chowk underpass on January 23, 2026. The couple, traveling in an Islamabad High Court Bar Association van toward the District Court, were stopped and taken into custody following repeated court orders for their appearance in a high-profile case involving alleged anti-state social media posts. The charges against Mazari and Chatta stem from a Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) case registered in August 2025 by the National Cybercrime Investigation Agency. They stand accused of cyber terrorism, hate…
Field Marshal Asim Munir’s recent visit to the National Police Academy, as highlighted by ISPR, was far more than a ceremonial engagement. It was a clear policy statement, one that reaffirmed the central role of police forces in Pakistan’s internal security framework and emphasized unity among all law enforcement agencies as the cornerstone of national stability. Addressing police officers and trainees, Field Marshal Asim Munir paid tribute to the sacrifices of police personnel who continue to confront terrorism, crime, and internal security threats while serving on the front lines of society. His words carried strategic depth, recognizing that true national…
In a landmark decision that signals a new era of progressive thinking, the Senate of Pakistan has passed a bill to integrate reproductive health education into the national curriculum. This groundbreaking legislation ensures that students aged 14 and older will receive structured, age-appropriate lessons on reproductive health, covering physical, mental, and social well-being. Schools must obtain written parental consent before delivering these lessons, and textbooks will soon include carefully designed content on the subject. This initiative, hailed by lawmakers as a vital step toward greater awareness and responsible behavior, deserves wholehearted praise from every corner of society. The Pakistani government…
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has once again chosen the path of confrontation. A joint parliamentary party meeting held at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House in Islamabad focused squarely on planning fresh street agitation for February 8, 2026. Critics say PTI’s Protests are becoming a routine tool for Imran Khan to keep the country in turmoil. The meeting was chaired by Opposition Leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai and attended by PTI lawmakers from the National Assembly and Senate. Instead of discussing public welfare or legislation, the gathering revolved around protest planning and pressure tactics. Participants discussed protest strategy, National Assembly manoeuvring, and the possibility of withdrawing…

Imran Khan’s decision to nominate Mahmood Khan Achakzai as the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly reveals deep cracks within Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). After the disqualification of Omar Ayub in August 2025 due to May 9-related convictions, the post remained empty for months. Instead of choosing a capable leader from his own party, Imran Khan turned to the head of the small Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) and the opposition alliance TTAP. This choice, first made in August 2025 and finalized with the official notification on January 16, 2026, points to a clear lack of trust in PTI’s…
A collection of official documents and internal Taliban reports reveals direct involvement of Taliban members in extrajudicial killings across several Afghan provinces. These killings were not isolated events. Evidence shows a clear and repeated pattern of violence carried out on official orders. Videos, internal reports, and documents obtained from sources inside Taliban institutions in Herat, Samangan, and Baghlan confirm that Taliban intelligence and security officials ordered these killings. The perpetrators used government-issued weapons and carried out the acts while on official duty. At least five videos containing confessions by Taliban members involved in targeted killings were reviewed. Many victims were…
Since the Afghan Taliban took power in August 2021, Afghanistan has become a Taliban safe haven for many terrorist groups. This means terrorists can live, train, and plan attacks with little fear of being stopped. The Taliban promised the world they would not let Afghanistan be used for attacks on other countries. But facts show they have broken this promise. This makes the Taliban a real threat to peace around the world. In the past, before 2001, the Taliban gave protection to al-Qaeda. This led to the 9/11 attacks on the United States. Now, history seems to repeat. UN reports…
There are moments in national politics when ambiguity ceases to be diplomacy and begins to resemble complicity. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s repeated reluctance to clearly and categorically label the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as a terrorist organization is one such moment. The latest example came on national television, where Shafi Ullah Jan, Special Assistant to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information, carefully avoided a direct answer to a simple and direct question: Is the TTP a terrorist organization? Asked repeatedly by anchor Muhammad Malik, the KP government’s spokesperson chose evasive explanations over clarity, despite the TTP’s status as a banned…
