By Dr Zardad Wazir The history of press freedom in Pakistan is not merely about the dissemination of news; it is a long narrative of struggle, sacrifice and resistance. The recent provincial convention on Media Laws, Regulation and Ethics, held at the Peshawar Press Club and attended by journalists from Islamabad, Lahore and other parts of the country, represents a continuation of this enduring struggle. It once again brought the journalistic community together to raise a unified voice for the protection of their constitutional and fundamental rights. Organized by the Peshawar Press Club and the Khyber Union of Journalists, with…

Abdul Qadir Mahesar DADU: Kando Khan Laghari, a resident of village Haji Baharo in Johi, had staged a protest outside the Dadu Press Club against what he described as an influential land-grabbing group.

There is a peculiar kind of silence that falls over the Strait of Hormuz when the gunboats withdraw just enough for a tanker to pass. It is not the silence of peace, but the hush of a held breath. And this week, courtesy of a most unlikely chain of events involving a former reality television star in the White House, a clerical establishment in Tehran, and the quiet diplomacy of Pakistan’s military establishment, that silence has been allowed to stretch into something resembling normalcy. Donald Trump, a man who measures success in the decibels of his own pronouncements, has done…

Dr. Zafar Iqbal There is a moment, just after the shouting stops and the barricades are cleared, that truly defines a nation. It is not the moment of revolution, nor the hour of victory. It is the quiet, unglamorous morning after, when the dream that carried millions into the streets meets the plan that must carry them into the future. In Bangladesh right now, that meeting is not going well. In addition, the unease in the air is not about conspiracy or betrayal. It is about something more subtle, and more dangerous: a gap. A small, almost invisible distance between…

By Asghar Ali Mubarak For forty days, the world held its breath. The Strait of Hormuz, that slender waterway through which a fifth of global oil passes, had been slammed shut. What began on February 28 as a series of American and Israeli strikes on Iranian territory spiraled into a full-blown crisis, with Tehran sealing the strait and issuing dire warnings to any commercial vessel from enemy nations. Tankers idled, supply chains snapped, and the global economy teetered on the edge of a recession. Then, late on a Friday, came the crack of light. Iran announced the temporary reopening of…

By Atiq Raja There is a particular kind of silence that falls over a room when someone mentions the word consistency. It is not the silence of awe, nor the hush of controversy. It is the silence of mild disappointment. We were hoping for something sexier, the room seems to say. A secret. A shortcut. A single morning that changes everything. But the truth, as it so often does, arrives without fanfare. Real success is rarely sudden. And the most reliable engine of lasting achievement is not talent, not luck, not even genius. It is the quiet, unglamorous, daily act…
