The BLA militancy has once again drawn sharp criticism after the group publicly claimed responsibility for killing Rasool Bakhsh Balwani Khetran, a resident of Barkhan in Balochistan. In a recent statement, the banned Balochistan Liberation Army accused Rasool of working as an “MI agent” for Pakistan’s military. The BLA claimed that he supplied intelligence which led to raids on militant hideouts and resulted in arrests and casualties. If the BLA’s own statement is taken as true, it indirectly confirms that Pakistan’s counter-terror operations are based on solid intelligence. This undermines the repeated claims made by self-styled activists who accuse the…

UNITED NATIONS — Pakistan officially began its UNSC presidency on Tuesday, taking over leadership of the United Nations Security Council for the month of July. This marks Pakistan’s eighth term as a Council member and its first Council presidency since 2013. Islamabad began its current non-permanent seat in January 2025.

While the Security Council leadership rotates each month and doesn’t carry executive authority, it does allow the presiding nation to steer the Council’s focus, set agendas, and guide discussions. This becomes especially important during global deadlocks over crises like Gaza…

The goal was to clear unauthorized structures from the riverbanks and restore the natural flow of the water. But when the team reached a hotel reportedly associated with PML-N’s central…
LAHORE: The recent military attachment for civil service officers from Pakistan’s 52nd Common Training Programme (CTP) has drawn strong praise.

These included peaceful urban zones and sensitive areas like Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The aim wasn’t combat readiness. Instead, the focus was to expose officers to the discipline, structure, and mission-driven culture of the Pakistan Armed Forces. One of the key highlights was a meeting with the Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal General…
