By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal In Pakistan’s long and uneven struggle with insecurity, there has always been a decisive factor that outlives weapons, strategies, and shifting political moments. It is public consciousness. Whenever fear has been met with clarity and division has been replaced with shared purpose, the state has found space to recover and respond. When that unity weakens, the challenge grows sharper. This pattern, repeated across decades, now appears again in a more visible form, as citizens, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, show a renewed determination to reject violence and those who sustain it. The country’s security history is often…

By Atiq Raja Barcelona has a way of meeting a traveller with both noise and calm at the same time. It is a city that does not stand still, yet it constantly reminds you that it has been standing for centuries. My journey began at the Columbus Monument near the harbour, where the bronze figure points outward toward the sea as if still searching for new worlds. Around it, the modern city moved in full rhythm. Tourists paused for photographs, street performers played to passing crowds, and the harbour breeze carried a soft salt scent that seemed to belong equally…

The decision by the United Nations to place the Zionist’s force Israeli Prison Service (IPS) on a blacklist over evidence of sexual and physical violence against innocent Palestinian civilian detainees has become another stark reminder of the widening gap between the ideals of international law and the realities of global politics. While the move carries considerable symbolic significance, it also forces the international community to confront uncomfortable questions about accountability, the protection of human rights and the credibility of institutions created to uphold them. According to findings cited by a United Nations commission, Palestinian detainees held in Zionist custody were…

By Atiq Raja A recent visit to Valencia leaves an imprint that is difficult to reduce to simple description. It is a city that does not announce itself with dramatic force, but rather unfolds gradually, revealing layers of history, light and everyday life in a way that feels both composed and unforced. What lingers most is not a single landmark or moment, but the way the city holds together its contrasts: ancient stone and contemporary rhythm, coastal calm and urban energy, quiet reverence and open sociability. From the outset, Valencia presents itself as a place shaped by continuity rather than…

By Asghar Ali Mubarak In marking the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers on 29 May 2026, Pakistan has once again placed its longstanding commitment to multilateral peace efforts at the centre of its diplomatic narrative. In a message issued on the occasion, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reiterated that Pakistan remains firmly committed to working alongside the United Nations in strengthening global peace through peacekeeping missions, describing this contribution as both a national honour and an international responsibility. The day itself carries a symbolic weight that stretches far beyond ceremonial observance. It is globally recognised as a moment of reflection…

By Professor Dr. Sheikh Akram Ali In the history of Bangladesh, a “political miracle” is often used to describe the rise of a single family that, as it is sometimes portrayed, was destined by fate to govern the country with immense popularity at different moments. The founder of this family, Major Ziaur Rahman, was a young officer in the East Bengal Regiment of the Pakistan Army who was not widely known in society. However, he suddenly emerged on the political horizon of East Pakistan, a stage for which he was not initially prepared. Undoubtedly, the rise of Ziaur Rahman is…

In much of the contemporary media ecosystem across Israel and India, President Donald Trump’s repeated remarks about expanding the Abraham Accords have been treated less as a conventional policy signal and more as a kind of political theatre. The commentary surrounding it often carries an undertone of performance in itself: clipped reactions, instant interpretations, and an editorial instinct to turn diplomatic phrasing into either triumphal narrative or strategic alarm. What is lost in this rapid cycle of interpretation is the slower, more consequential question of what such statements actually mean within the architecture of Middle Eastern diplomacy. The unease this…

By S.M. Inam The federal government’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2026–27 arrives in a familiar economic atmosphere, yet one that feels increasingly constrained in its margins for manoeuvre. On paper, it presents the language of cautious optimism: a projected growth rate of 4.1 per cent, inflation expected to average 8.4 per cent, and a total outlay of 17.1 trillion rupees. Taken together, these figures suggest an economy attempting to stabilise itself without fully resolving the deeper structural tensions that continue to define its fiscal landscape. Budgets are often described as moral documents disguised as accounting exercises. In this case,…
