An Ode to Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi

In the land of the Pure, where five rivers flow,

Emerged a leader, with a clear vision to show.

Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi was his name,

Indomitably courageous, seeking fortune and fame.

Born in Lahore, with dreams in his eyes,

A cricketer's spirit, reaching for the skies.

Through cricket fields, he made his mark,

But destiny called him to a different embark.

In the realm of politics, a journey began,

A mission for justice, a noble plan.

Imran Khan, with charisma so rare,

Championing the cause, with utmost care.

With the green and white flag unfurled,

He stepped into the political world.

Building a party, like a fortress strong,

Promising a nation where all could belong.

Through trials and tribulations, he strode,

A leader determined, on a challenging road.

In the corridors of power, he took his stand,

A captain of change for his beloved land.

With eloquence and passion, he spoke,

Awakening the masses, hearts awoke.

A promise for a Naya Pakistan, anew,

A dream that in every heart it grew.

Through battles fought on the political stage,

Imran Khan stood undeterred, like a sage.

A statesman with ideals, resolute and bold,

Guiding a nation, with a future to mold.

Economic reforms and social change,

Aiming for a system fair, and not estrange.

In the face of adversity, he remained stout,

For a better tomorrow, erasing doubt.

Yet, the journey is long, challenges vast,

In the tapestry of time, a die is cast.

Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi, a leader true,

In the annals of history, his story grew.

So, let the narrative unfold,

Of a leader, a tale of courage untold.

Imran Khan, a captain in life's grand game, In Pakistan's story, etching his name...

The Cost of Peace in India-Pakistan Relations

Since their independence in 1947, India-Pakistan relations have sustained mutual animosity towards each other. The bloody partition that caused the death of over a million and displaced over 15 million Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs across borders has left a lasting imprint on the two countries. India and Pakistan fought three major wars in 1947, 1965, and 1971, and the 1999 Kargil conflict. Since…

[BBC is UK State Media]

Pakistan's powerful army chief has urged the country to leave "anarchy and polarisation" behind as two ex-prime ministers declared victory in an election that has defied expectations.

With most results in, independent candidates linked to jailed former PM Imran Khan have won most seats.

But Nawaz Sharif, another ex-PM widely seen as having the army's backing, has urged others to join him in coalition.

Officials have also rejected Western criticism of how the election was run.[...]

Mr Khan released an AI-generated video message rejecting his rival's claim and calling on supporters to celebrate. He has been jailed on charges of leaking state secrets, corruption and an unlawful marriage and his PTI party was banned from taking part in the polls.

About 100 of the winning candidates are independents and all but eight of them are backed by the PTI, the non-profit Free and Fair Election Network said.

On Saturday PTI chairman Gohar Ali Khan said the party would try to form a government and would start protesting on Sunday if complete election results had not been released by then.

Mr Sharif's PML-N party won 73 seats and he acknowledged that he did not have the numbers to form a government alone, but insisted he could remove the country from difficult times at the head of a coalition.

The PPP of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the son of assassinated PM Benazir Bhutto, got 54 seats and the rest - the largest number of seats - were won by smaller parties and independents.

In Pakistan, the current election is considered to be the most rigged in the country's history. Former PM Imran Khan is in prison and barred from election because the corrupt cronies (Nawaz Sharif, Shabaz Sharif, etc) know they'll never get enough votes to beat him.

Overnight, they forged votes and got the army to threaten voters.

🇵🇰Pakistan stands with Imran Khan. 🇵🇰

Two bomb explosions near candidates' offices in the Pakistani province of Balochistan killed at least 28 people and wounded dozens on the eve of general elections, officials said.

The first blast killed 16 people in Pishin district, north of Quetta city.

A second explosion left 12 people dead in Qila Saifullah to the east. There was no immediate claim for the attacks.

The vote has been marred by violence and claims of poll-rigging. Former PM Imran Khan is barred from contesting.

Police are still trying to determine the cause of the two blasts.

Resource-rich Balochistan - Pakistan's largest, and poorest, province - has a history of violence. It has seen a decades-long struggle for greater autonomy by various groups, some of them armed. Islamist militants, including the Pakistani Taliban (TTP), operate along the border with Afghanistan.

The bomb in Pishin, a town about 100km (62 miles) south-east of the Afghan border, went off in front of an independent candidate's party office. The provincial authorities said 25 people were also wounded.

Images on social media showed cars and motorbikes blown apart by the force of the explosion. Officials told the BBC the candidate was meeting his polling agent at the time.

The second blast targeted the election office of the JUI-F party. A senior police official told AFP news agency it took place in the main bazaar of Qila Saifullah, about 190km (120 miles) east of Quetta.

Twenty people were wounded in the incident and the number of casualties in the two attacks could rise, officials said.

There have been violent incidents in both Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces in the week before Thursday's vote, and the violence in Pishin and Qila Saifullah was not unexpected.

In mid-January, Baloch Liberation Army-Azad (BLA) insurgents released a pamphlet after claiming responsibility for bombing an election training office. The pamphlet urged people to boycott the elections. Soon after, reports of hand grenade attacks on political party offices were reported from various cities in the province.

Many voters in Balochistan feel neglected by the country's political parties, given the province has so few seats in parliament. They often feel candidates are foisted on them, with few if any links to Balochistan.

And many feel the vote is unfair. "It is a selection," numerous people told BBC Urdu in the city of Turbat last month.

Following Wednesday's attacks, the Balochistan government said Thursday's vote would proceed as planned.

"Rest assured, we will not allow terrorists to undermine or sabotage this crucial democratic process," provincial information minister Jan Achakzai posted on X, formerly Twitter.

More than 128 million voters are eligible to cast ballots in the election. In Pakistan's first-past-the-post system, 266 of 336 National Assembly seats are directly elected.

But many people are questioning the credibility of the vote as Khan and his party, the PTI, have been sidelined.

The PTI won the largest number of seats in the last general election but Khan was jailed on corruption charges last year and disqualified from running for public office. Last week he was convicted in three other cases and faces years in prison - he says all the charges are politically motivated.

The authorities deny carrying out a crackdown, but many PTI leaders are behind bars, in hiding or have defected. Thousands of the party's supporters were rounded up after protests - at times violent - when Khan was taken into custody last year.

PTI candidates are having to run as independents following the electoral commission's decision to strip the party of its cricket bat symbol. Electoral symbols are vital in helping voters mark their ballots in a country with high rates of illiteracy.

The man tipped to win Thursday's election is three-time former PM Nawaz Sharif, who himself was behind bars at the last election. Analysts say it appears he has done a deal with the military to facilitate his return to politics.

A high turnout will be key to the PTI's chances, many analysts say. How to tackle, and who to blame for, the country's economic crisis will be high in voters' minds. Results must be announced within 14 days of the election.
