By Mujeeb Rahman Qambrani MEHAR: Umme Rubab Chandio said in a video statement that the incident involving Dr Fahmida Laghari had been deeply tragic, as she condemned what had happened and expressed solidarity with the victim’s family. She said Dr Fahmida was not just a name but a question, describing her as a third-year medical student whose dream had been to save lives. However, she said, her suicide had raised serious questions about the system. She asked what reasons had made her feel unsafe within an educational institution, why she had ended her bright future, and why she had suffered…

By Mujeeb Rahman Qambrani MEHAR: Like other cities across Sindh, candidates in Mehar who secured more than 40 marks in the IBA test for PST and GST posts had still not received their offer letters. During a protest held at the National Press Club Mehar, candidate leaders Khalid Hussain Khoso and Fahad Ali Khaskheli said they had scored above 40 marks in the test conducted by IBA in 2021. Despite their continued struggle, they said, the Sindh government had yet to issue offer letters. They demanded that candidates who obtained more than 40 marks be given PST and GST offer…

By Anwar Ali GWADAR: Gwadar is expected to host a major new oil refinery project as Saudi Arabia considers investing around $10 billion, according to sources familiar with the development. The project is seen as part of expanding energy and infrastructure cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, with discussions reportedly focusing on long-term strategic investment in the country’s southern port region. Sources said Saudi energy giant Saudi Aramco is planning to partner with Pakistani firms to establish the refinery, which may also be offered a proposed 20-year tax holiday as an incentive package.

By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal There was a time when the world, weary of war and ruin, gathered under one roof and formed the United Nations. The purpose was simple and noble. Nations would no longer rush to war without restraint. Disputes would be brought to a common forum. Wisdom would prevail over impulse. Peace would be guarded by collective will. This institution was not created to serve the designs of a few powerful states. It was not meant to grant licence to those who imagine threats and then move to destroy them. It was not meant to justify action first…

By Asghar Ali Mubarak The Pakistani capital, Islamabad, is currently the center of global diplomacy, where historic talks between the United States and Iran for a ceasefire and lasting peace have begun. Pakistan is hosting these talks on April 10, 2026, and has played an important mediating role in ending recent regional tensions. Thanks to successful, dynamic diplomacy, the eyes of the world are focused on Pakistan today. Pakistan has further strengthened its position in the international community. The country has played a responsible and positive role in global affairs, a prominent example of which is the effective diplomatic efforts…

By Dr. Hussain Thebo The arrival of JD Vance in Islamabad marks a significant and potentially historic moment for the future of diplomacy between the United States and Iran. At a time of heightened global tensions and uncertainty in the Middle East, this visit rises above routine diplomacy. It reflects a genuine opportunity for meaningful progress through the Islamabad Dialogue. This moment has been made possible through the strategic vision and leadership of Field Marshal Hafiz Syed Asim Munir, Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif, and the dedicated efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan. Their coordinated approach…

It is not the silence of resolution, but the breathless hush of exhaustion, a moment where the sheer absurdity of the previous violence finally sinks into the bones of the combatants. That silence descended this week over the fault lines between the United States and Iran, and to the quiet astonishment of Western chancelleries, it was not Paris or London or Brussels that helped conduct the orchestra. It was Islamabad. Let us be clear about what has happened. For months, the world watched a grim pantomime unfold. On one side stood war-criminal Zionist Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, a leadership so ideologically…

It is not often that the country which mediates between two implacable foes also finds itself standing as a leaden wall between humanity and annihilation. Yet this is precisely the strange, almost miraculous role that Pakistan has assumed. Today in Islamabad, under Pakistani stewardship, the United States and Iran are to begin bilateral talks, and with them comes something that we will call the “Meesaq-e-Islamabad” – but which ordinary people might simply call a covenant to save humanity, a promise to protect our children against unspeakable suffering. For that is what hangs in the balance: not just borders or bombast,…
