By Wadood Mehsud SOUTH WAZIRISTAN:: Reports have emerged of serious irregularities and alleged nepotism in teacher recruitments under the PTC fund in Upper South Waziristan, raising concerns among social and educational circles. Sources say that for these short-term, four-month teacher appointments, a committee—including the school chairman and secretary—was supposed to oversee selections, with approval from relevant ASDEO and SDO officials. However, no merit lists were issued and no interviews conducted this time. Allegations suggest influential individuals were favored, with some PTC committee secretaries reportedly signing documents fraudulently. There are also claims that in certain schools, appointments were decided through bidding,…

By Uzma Ehtasham The sudden death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reportedly following strikes by the United States and Israel, has sent shockwaves through Iran, shaking the foundations of a political system long defined by continuity and clerical hierarchy. What might have been seen as a moment of uncertainty has instead become a rapid consolidation of authority, with the country’s highest office now passing to Mojtaba Khamenei, the late Supreme Leader’s son. According to Iranian state media, the Assembly of Experts, an 88-member clerical body tasked with selecting the Supreme Leader, confirmed Mojtaba in a near-unanimous decision. This development marks the…

By Professor Dr. Sheikh Akram Ali Life often begins with struggle, and those who confront it with seriousness are the ones who ultimately prevail. This principle holds true not only for individuals but also for nations. The success of a country depends largely on the vision and character of its political leaders, whose decisions can guide a nation toward stability, prosperity, and the fulfilment of its people’s aspirations. Yet history reminds us that victory on the battlefield alone is never enough. The birth of Bangladesh in 1971 through war did not automatically translate into a society that met the hopes…

By Atiq Raja Every human being lives two lives at once. One is the life the world observes: the tasks we undertake, the ambitions we chase, the outcomes we achieve. The other is quieter, invisible—a private life composed of the thoughts, doubts, and self-reflections that shape the way we move through the world. This inner life, largely unseen, is the lens through which we interpret every experience. It guides our confidence, informs our decisions, and ultimately influences the trajectory of our lives. For many, the struggle to change circumstances externally can feel endless, yet often the real transformation must begin…

By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal Power has always tested the character of those who wield it. From the earliest days of human governance, authority has been as much a mirror of personal discipline as it is an instrument of political influence. When power rests in the hands of an individual, the ambitions, anxieties, and desires that reside deep within human nature often grow louder. History, however, reminds us that restraint is no less powerful than action. Leaders who have mastered the delicate balance between authority and accountability have earned lasting respect, not through the ostentatious display of strength, but through its…

A new and unnerving chapter has opened in the long-standing tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel. What began as intermittent hostilities has now taken on a far more threatening dimension. For the first time, Iran’s critical oil infrastructure has come under direct assault, a move that marks not just a tactical escalation but a symbolic strike against the country’s economic and national lifelines. Overnight, a series of attacks hit fuel storage facilities, including a depot close to Tehran’s central refinery in the south. In northwestern Tehran, another strike sent towering plumes of smoke into the skyline, while reports…

The latest signals emerging from Tehran appear to carry a carefully balanced message. On the one hand, Iranian officials have spoken in the language of restraint, signaling that they do not wish to see the present confrontation expand beyond its already dangerous boundaries. On the other, the same statements have made clear that Iran considers itself fully prepared to defend its sovereignty if it believes its security is under threat. This dual narrative—conciliatory in tone yet firm in intent—has come to define Iran’s public posture during one of the most volatile moments the region has witnessed in recent years. Iranian…

By Atiq Raja Every meaningful achievement begins long before the world notices it. Long before recognition arrives or results become visible, success is usually shaped in a quiet and deeply personal place: the human mind. It begins with a decision that is invisible to others yet powerful enough to determine the direction of a life—the decision to believe in one’s own potential. Self-belief is one of the most influential forces shaping human progress. It is the inner conviction that quietly assures an individual that growth is possible, that obstacles can be overcome and that abilities can be developed through effort…
