#Current Affairs of Pakistan

[muslimintp-1999-girl]

Friendly reminder that both Indian and Pakistani army are trash

Indian army occupies Kashmir

Pakistani army regularly abducts people from all over the country but most notably from Balochistan

Both countries are ruled by fascists currently

The only difference is we Pakistanis didn't elect the people currently ruling over us but India elected Modi, a very blatant far right and islamophobe, thrice consecutively

on mass deportations of afghan refugees in pakistan

pls watch this video, its not exhaustive and ur encouraged to reserach more but this is a v good intro to the afghan refugee crisis in pakistan right now.

not many people are talking about this but this is a gross human rights violation. according to pakistan's citizenship laws, people born on pakistani soil are automatically eligible for citizenship and parents/spouses of pakistani citizens are also eligible for citizenship. however, these laws have not been extended to afghan refugees. now these refugees are being deported to afghanistan, even tho many of them have never been to aghanistan. theyre literally being sent to camps on the pak-afghan border and forced to take classes on how to evade landmines. the police is also targeting and brutalizing documented afghan refugees. any success and wealth that afghan refugees accumulated has been in spite of the bigotry of most of the pakistani population and in spite of the shitty pakistani government. these civilians are in no way a strain on pakistan's economy, neither do they pose a security threat. theyre just being used by the pakistani establishment as a political pawn to get back at the taliban govt in afghanistan and to appease the pakistani population in the wake of intense economic and political instability. the conditons in afghanistan are already horrible and the vid touched upon that. afg has suffered some major earthqakes that have killed thousands of people, in addition to the sanctions + ofc the fact that the country is trying to rebuild after almost half a centruy of violent conflict

also want to point out how sick this is considering that pakistan benefitted a lot from the wars in afghanistan (against the soviets and against the taliban as well) bec of US aid and then bec of aid that was given to pakistan to cater to afghan refugees (ofc this aid almost never made it to the people who needed it - pakistan has p much no welfare programmes for the refugees) and pakistanis are often discriminatory/racist against afghan refugees. the afghan people have suffered a lot due to pakistan's greed and now theyre suffering once again. pakistanis are literally using similar rhetoric thats used against pakistani immgrants abroad (that theyre illegal aliens, that theyre illiterate regressive extremists, that theyre rapists and criminals)

1947 Partition & Mountbatten Plan | UPSC Modern History by Manikant Sir | Indian History

On this day, 78 years ago, a plan was unveiled that changed the course of the Indian subcontinent forever — the Mountbatten Plan. Presented on June 3, 1947, it laid the groundwork for India’s partition, giving birth to two nations amidst chaos, violence, and mass displacement. In this video, we uncover the hidden agendas, political pressures, and hurried decisions that shaped the plan. Was it a strategy for peace or a calculated move to divide? Join us as we decode the agenda behind the Vibhajan, the legacy it left behind, and why it remains one of the most deeply debated turning points in modern Indian history.

[mariacallous]

The terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir last week that killed 26 tourists has laid bare the persistence of militant threats in the region, exposing serious lapses in Indian security and intelligence.

Amid growing calls in India for military action against Pakistan, which New Delhi accuses of backing the militants involved, the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is once again posturing toward cross-border retribution. Yet more than a week after the attack in Pahalgam, India has not made a major military move. It suspended its participation in the Indus Waters Treaty, and both countries have expelled each other’s diplomats and military attaches.

India’s main diplomatic challenge is to secure legitimacy for its actions under international law. It must prove that Pakistan is directly responsible for sponsoring the attack and similar acts of terrorism, as it has in the past. But India has not publicly provided any evidence, while Pakistan has called for an independent investigation. Indian media initially accused a group called the Resistance Front (TRF), which Indian officials say is a proxy of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, but TRF later denied responsibility.

In the days since the attack, India has launched an aggressive campaign aimed at building a strong case and gaining international legitimacy for a possible military strike. According to multiple sources within India’s foreign and security establishment, the government is preparing a dossier of evidence linking militants whom it accuses of conducting the Pahalgam attack to Pakistan’s intelligence services.

India has previously adopted a similar strategy, including after the 2019 suicide bombing in Pulwama, Indian-administered Kashmir, that killed 40 Indian security forces. In the wake of that attack, it shared a dossier among global interlocutors. India retaliated with a cross-border airstrike in Pakistan, which was followed by a military standoff.

In that case, New Delhi presented evidence to the United Nations detailing Pakistan’s support for terrorist groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, which claimed responsibility for the Pulwama attack. It focused on garnering support from global powers and countered Pakistan’s attempts to condemn India’s cross-border strike.

As India works to shore up support this time around, it faces some roadblocks. Pakistan, which is currently a nonpermanent member of the United Nations Security Council, this week managed to successfully block India’s attempts to name TRF in the Security Council’s statement condemning the Pahalgam attack, aided by China. Though the final statement demanded accountability and condemned the “reprehensible act of terrorism,” it did not name the perpetrators or explicitly refer to the Indian government’s jurisdiction—a diplomatic win for Pakistan.

But India is also quietly lobbying both permanent and nonpermanent members of the Security Council, seeking backing—or at least neutrality—if it invokes Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, which permits self-defense in the face of armed attacks.

Ajai Sahni, the executive director of the Institute for Conflict Management in New Delhi, said that though India will present forensic and testimonial proof linking Pakistan to the Pahalgam attack, “no amount of evidence is going to change the fact that China is not going to support any action … which would adversely affect Pakistan,” due to geopolitical interests and its U.N. veto power.

Behind closed doors, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has spoken with his counterparts in Algeria, Greece, Guyana, Panama, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, and Somalia—including several currently serving on the Security Council. These calls were preceded by a significant diplomatic outreach in which India briefed dozens of foreign diplomats in New Delhi about Pakistan’s alleged complicity in the recent attack.

Jaishankar said he also received a call from U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres. “Appreciate his unequivocal condemnation of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Agreed on the importance of accountability. India is resolved that the perpetrators, planners and backers of this attack are brought to justice,” Jaishankar wrote in a post on X.

India has also stepped up pressure on Pakistan at the United Nations. New Delhi’s deputy permanent representative, Yojna Patel, used a recent U.N. forum to accuse Islamabad of “fueling global terrorism,” citing a recent Sky News interview in which Pakistan’s defense minister appeared to acknowledge the country’s historic support for militant groups.

“The whole world has heard the Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif admitting and confessing Pakistan’s history of supporting, training and funding terrorist organizations in a recent television interview,” Patel said at the U.N. forum.

Indian media has also cited a controversial speech in which Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir described Kashmir as his country’s “jugular vein” days before the killings in Pahalgam, linking the statement to the attack.

Indian officials maintain that New Delhi abides by international law, but the challenge lies in securing legitimacy for a military strike, which requires demonstrating enough evidence and then enough support to justify such an action.

Citing an official policy document, an Indian security official told Foreign Policy: “India overwhelmingly tends to issue diplomatic condemnation of military intervention by major powers that are not authorized by the U.N.,” adding that any strike inside Pakistani territory would have to be justified as an act of self-defense under international law.

Meanwhile, Pakistan is preparing to escalate the dispute through international legal channels over what it sees as India’s unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty—a decades-old water-sharing agreement brokered by the World Bank that has survived three wars between the countries.

If India went ahead with a strike against Pakistan, it would not be without precedent. In 2016, Indian troops crossed the Line of Control, the countries’ disputed frontier in Kashmir, in retaliation for an attack on an Indian Army brigade in Uri; they said they inflicted heavy casualties on militant camps. And after the Pulwama attack in 2019, Indian fighter jets carried out an airstrike in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, triggering a brief aerial dogfight.

In both cases, the strikes were politically popular for Modi’s government despite ambiguity about their military effectiveness.

In the wake of the Pahalgam attack, Sahni called instead for a “protracted conflict” strategy spanning cyber, economic, diplomatic, and covert measures to deter Pakistan. “You cannot allow four or six terrorists … to so completely dominate your policy cycle,” he said, warning against retaliation driven by “domestic and political pressure … whipped up for partisan political ends.”

India’s success in securing international legitimacy might hinge on how many U.N. members it can persuade that the Pahalgam attack qualifies as an act of cross-border aggression. Jaishankar’s conversations with counterparts in Guyana and Greece—both of whom expressed support for India’s right to pursue justice—suggest that he is gaining traction. However, with China allied with Pakistan and Pakistan itself serving on the Security Council through 2026, the council’s endorsement is unlikely.

In the short term, eyes will be on the stance adopted by key global players, including the United States, which has not appointed ambassadors to either India or Pakistan since President Donald Trump took office in January. Unlike in 2019, the United States no longer has troops in Afghanistan, whose safety could be threatened by instability in the region.

On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with officials in India and Pakistan. In a call with Jaishankar, he expressed “sorrow for the lives lost in the horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam” and reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to counterterrorism cooperation with New Delhi. According to a State Department spokesperson, Rubio also encouraged India to engage with Pakistan to “de-escalate tensions.”

In a separate call with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Rubio stressed the need to “condemn the terror attack on April 22 in Pahalgam” and pushed for Islamabad’s cooperation in the investigation. “Both leaders reaffirmed their continued commitment to holding terrorists accountable,” according to the State Department readout.

On Thursday, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance brought some clarity on Washington’s position, signaling that it won’t oppose an Indian response as long as it does not lead to a “broader regional conflict,” he said in an interview with Fox News.

After the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which were carried out by Lashkar-e-Taiba and killed 166 people, the FBI aided Indian authorities with intelligence cooperation. New Delhi is likely to seek similar help this time.

With both nuclear-armed neighbors now led by governments under intense domestic pressure, the possibility of rapid escalation is very high—even as international calls to step back from the ledge grow. For now, the message from New Delhi is clear: The Pahalgam attack will not go unanswered.

All That’s Left For Them Now Is To Murder Me – But I’m Not Afraid To Die! The Former Pakistani Prime Minister Writes Exclusively For The Telegraph From His Prison Cell

— BY IMRAN KHAN | 2 May, 2024 | The Telegraph

Today, Pakistan and its people stand in confrontation with each other. Almost two years ago, an engineered vote of no confidence was moved against my government and a government cobbled together by the military establishment came into being.

Since then, the Corrupt Military Establishment, under direct guidance of General Asim Munir, The Corrupt Chief of Army Staff, has tried every tactic to decimate my party’s presence from the political environment of Pakistan.

The oppression, torture and denial of our election symbol have been extensively documented, but nothing has worked for the military and the powerless civilian leadership acting as its puppets.

Pakistan’s general elections on Feb 8 2024, showed the utter failure of their design.

With no single electoral symbol in a country where the vast majority of voters are guided by a party symbol, the people came out and voted overwhelmingly for candidates supported by my party, the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI), despite standing as “independents” with a host of diverse symbols.

This democratic revenge by the people of Pakistan against the agenda of the military establishment not only was a national defiance by the people but also a complete rejection of the official state narrative of May 9 2023, when PTI supporters were falsely accused – as a pretext for a crackdown – of attacking military installations.

Unfortunately, instead of accepting the people’s mandate, the military establishment went into a fit of rage and electoral results were manipulated to bring into power the losers.

The same vote tampering was seen in the recent by-elections.

As a result, today Pakistan is at a dangerous crossroads. The people have shown in no uncertain terms their rejection of state electoral machinations and of the oppression, incarceration and torture of not just the PTI leadership but also of its workers.

The military leadership has been subjected to overt criticism at a level unseen before in our history. The government is a laughing stock.

More Oppression and Violence

The response of the state has been to unleash more oppression and violence not just on party workers but also on journalists and human rights defenders. Social media restrictions have been put in place with a complete ban on the X platform.

Perhaps the most ominous development has been the systematic attempt to destroy the independent functioning of the judiciary at all levels.

Judges have been subjected to all manner of pressures including blackmail and harassment of family members. As a result, our trials on false charges are conducted with no proper defence allowed and no concern for the law of the land and the constitution.

The Corrupt Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) and of the Islamabad High Court have been found short of delivering unbiased justice.

But members of the senior judiciary have risen against the attempted destruction of the independence of the judiciary. Six brave judges of the Islamabad High Court have written a letter to the CJP highlighting instances of harassment and blackmail including of their families by intelligence agencies. Specific instances are cited and details given.

This is unprecedented in our history – although, informally, many knew what was happening to the senior judiciary but for such a letter to have come from these judges shows the level of despair, anger and frustration.

The sorry state of judicial affairs is reflected in the hesitancy shown by the CJP, who eventually felt compelled to act but instead of calling for a full bench hearing of the supreme court and summoning those named by the six judges, he has sought to put the six judges effectively in the dock.

With an economy in crisis, spiralling prices and a people politically angry at having their electoral mandate stolen and being economically beleaguered, the state stands isolated.

Unwilling to mitigate its grave errors which have led Pakistan to this precarious juncture and unable to go beyond its mantra of oppression and violence against critics, the State is treading the same path it trod in 1971, when it lost East Pakistan, now Bangladesh.

Upsurge in Terrorism

At the same time, it is seeing an upsurge in terrorism and a growing alienation in Balochistan where the issue of enforced disappearances is growing in severity. On Pakistan’s borders, India has already admitted to undertaking assassinations inside of Pakistan and the international border with Afghanistan remains volatile.

The military establishment’s expectation of unquestioning support from the US, in return for the provision of access to airspace and related facilities to the US for military purposes, has been punctured after the publication of the latest US state department’s Country Reports on Human Rights Practices which highlights the many human rights violations in Pakistan.

Again, seeking salvation by relying on support from the International Monetary Fund when there is a confrontation with the people will not result in any stability for Pakistan. There is no other way out of the crisis but to restore the people’s mandate and release all political prisoners including those being held for trial under military courts. The constitutional functioning of state institutions must be restored.

“The Corrupt Military Establishment has done all they could against me. All that is left for them is to now ‘Murder Me’. I have stated publicly that if anything happens to me or my wife, Corrupt General Asim Munir will be responsible. But I am not afraid because my faith is strong. I would prefer death over slavery.”

— Imran Khan is the leader of the Pakistan-Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) party. He is serving a prison sentence for controversial corruption charges.

Modern Warfare® Campaign: Biographies of the Story’s Major Players.

Part 2 (2 of 2): Kate Laswell

October 01, 2019 by Call of Duty Staff

Kate Laswell

Supervisor, Special Activities Division (SAD), CIA

Kate Laswell was born in Annapolis, Maryland. Kate believes that past is prologue, witnessing both diplomatic and military failures in the war on terror, her tradecraft is largely dedicated to breaking this repetitive cycle. Kate has a Master’s degree in strategic intelligence analysis and studied Near East linguistics at the American University of Beirut. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Cornell University with a BA in International Affairs.

Laswell began her career as a communications analyst. Her earliest evaluation showed an advanced aptitude for strategic analysis. Kate’s acumen was quickly recognized by the Islamabad Station Chief, and she was relocated to Pakistan, where she served as a “targeter” – a critical support role in the early days of the lethal drone strike program.

On the fast track, Laswell was transferred to U.S. Africa Command at Camp Lemonnier. Shortly thereafter, the base was ground zero for a shocking attack by a suicide bomber. She considered her survival, a calling to serve the greater good and has devoted her career to global security.

As she climbed the CIA ranks, Kate looked for a female mentor who could show her how to retain her personal life and still be respected for her operational judgment. Not finding that role model, Laswell worked with unapologetic obligation to her mission. Laswell has always been hard to manage but brings reliable maneuvers to the table. A retired colleague said, “when it comes to unconventional information warfare, Kate Laswell rewrote the book.”

In 2008, the historically paternal agency broke its glass ceiling, calling on Kate to supervise a Special Activities Division (SAD) “black site” program in Europe, Asia and South America, a post with no official commission. Kate’s leadership post with the SAD was considered controversial, after she refused to testify in open hearing, on the use of rendition. Often polarizing but always respected, over her tenure, Laswell developed detainee information that saved tens of thousands of lives. Evaluation reports credit Kate’s success with not being risk averse.

Laswell currently reports directly to the CIA Inspector General, through an elite category of Top Secret called “Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented” or TS/SCI. This clearance authorizes select special agents, largely unconstrained latitude in responding to critical terrorist activity, at home and abroad. To execute her missions, Kate works closely with the special activities paramilitary ground branch officers under her command (Alex), and has a close professional relationship with Captain Price.

i haven’t read the novel but some friends have and i’m a bit wary about the false harassment accusation ngl. it feels like that’s being used as a plot point all too frequently in recent years (so recent in fact as to be used in mujhe pyaar hua tha) and at a time when that kind of reception isn’t going to be really helpful in the public sphere i fear what the success of a plot like this may convey. but since you read the novel what do you think about it?

i don't know how this current cast will be able to fit in the story of the novel. like..i just cannot.

anyway SPOILERS AHEAD SO WHATEVER.

anyway...the major themes of the story were more about sibling rivalry and strained relationship between parents and children. both Sikandar and Liza, the protagonists, ended up having a tensed relationship with their fathers not due to fault of their own. Liza was essentially brainwashed by her sister to hate her father because she wanted to remain the only favorite child of her father. Sikandar ended up becoming the target of his father's anger and disgust that ultimately led to the tragedy that befell him. the story then becomes a story of healing from the traumas family can inflict on you. the false harassment accusation angle is a significant part of it but it's not the big bad evil here. like the accusation wouldn't have stood a chance had Zain not already nurse a one-sided hatred for his brother that had him trusting his girlfriend of few months over his own one true brother of 20 years. if not the accusation then something else would've been the reason Zain would've used to torment his brother.

also honestly, considering Maryam's character, the false harassment accusation is the least of her evils. she's shown to be a highly manipulative sociopath with daddy issues so potent that she didn't even spare her own mother phir Sikandar kya cheez hai? iirc when she's just a teenager she seduces her step father and ends up getting pregnant. while she's in school she gets involved in a sexual relationship with her teacher who she then ends up getting fired once she gets annoyed of his chipkuness. Sikandar is just one of her many targets. even until the present we see her as being involved in illicit affairs with men with no regard to anything else. she becomes so used to getting away with her actions that she doesn't even realize that her father, the one man she truly loved, was already aware of her actions and was only being silent because he was hoping and praying for her to repent. it is only when Maryam threatens Liza's relationship with Sikandar that their father steps in and forbids her from even daring to try that.

personally I think Maryam's character is the meatiest role of the story following Sikandar considering how twisted she is and by Pakistani drama standards, how utterly scandalous. JBHSSL would never work for TV cuz our sensitive audience wouldn't have been able to digest that. whoever ends up getting that role has the opportunity to give a truly strong performance provided the script and direction support the original story.

so yeah..i don't think the existence of JBHSSL will have any drastic impact on the landscape of PakDramas that will end up promoting the false accusation storyline more so than it already is. that damage was done by whatever that Sana Javed drama was that came at the worst time possible during peak MeToo era. at least with JBHSSL there's no doubt left by the end that Maryam was a vile and evil woman with a history of ruining lives and relationships without any remorse. also it's on Netflix so like konnn hi itna dekhega Pakistan mein where the majority of the audience watches stuff free on Youtube?

You think Muslim women can’t get educated in Palestine? Indonesia? Kuwait? Qatar? Pakistan? Malaysia? Saudi Arabia? Uae? Morocco? Egypt? Jordan? Lebanon? And so many other countries?

You think MUSLIM COUNTRIES DONT HAVE EDUCATION FOR WOMEN?! Maybe Afghans sure, but have you truly even meet Palestinian women? A Muslim woman?

Why tf would they go to Israel for that?

There are literally thousands of highly educated, intelligent, bravely working MUSLIM AND CHRISTIAN WOMEN IN PALESTINE AND GAZA WHO HAVE RAISED THEIR VOICED AGAINST THE ISRAELI OCCUPATION.

THERE ARE LITERALLY MUSLIM WOMEN REPORTERS, DOCTORS, HEALTH CARE WORKERS IN PALESTINE.

Good grief and the last line?

If it weren’t for Israeli occupation, Hamas wouldn’t exist.

Just block me man.
