By Uzma Ehtasham The Modi government’s systematic sponsorship of terrorism has emerged as a stark and deeply unsettling reality on the global stage, demanding urgent attention and response. What was once dismissed by many as mere allegations or political rhetoric has now been repeatedly substantiated with compelling evidence. From acts of violence reaching beyond the subcontinent to calculated operations targeting Pakistan’s very fabric, the use of terror as a deliberate state policy under Narendra Modi’s leadership has become an undeniable threat to regional stability and global security. The recent joint press conference by Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, head of…

By Uzma Ehtasham The era when the United States enjoyed uncontested global dominance is, according to Vice President JD Vance, definitively over. His remarks reflect a stark reassessment of America’s place in the world, one that acknowledges a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape where traditional assumptions about US primacy no longer hold. “In the wake of the Cold War, America enjoyed a mostly unchallenged command of the commons, airspace, sea, space, and cyberspace,” Vance said. But today, he warned, the reality is far more complex, with formidable challenges emerging from nations like China and Russia. These powers are actively seeking to…

By Uzma Ehtasham In a world where global power has grown diffused and increasingly complicated, clinging to the covert scripts of a bygone era no longer guarantees influence. The intelligence agencies that once thrived in the shadows — the CIA, Mossad, RAW — built their reputations on secrecy, interference, and manipulation. But that old geopolitical theatre is falling apart. The stage has changed, the audience has changed, and most importantly, the actors have changed. And yet, India appears to have missed this cue. New realities are unfolding across South Asia, and they do not favor the old ways. Nowhere is…

By Uzma Ehtasham Some numbers are too painful to comprehend. Fourteen thousand children. That is the projected death toll within 48 hours in Gaza if food aid does not reach those who need it most. It is not hyperbole. It is not propaganda. It is the brutal reality on the ground, where over two million people are now trapped in a man-made nightmare. Starvation, displacement, mass detentions, and the unrelenting specter of death — these are not consequences of war but evidence of what many around the world are now naming as genocide. The deliberate denial of aid, the blockade…

By Uzma Ehtasham India’s role as the principal architect behind the terrorism that continues to plague Pakistan is a harsh reality that must be acknowledged without hesitation. Whether it is through militant outfits like Fitna-ul-Khawarij or insurgent groups operating in Balochistan, India’s hand is unmistakable in orchestrating violence that aims to derail Pakistan’s progress, sabotage its peace, and destabilize its security apparatus. This is not mere speculation or political rhetoric; it is a conclusion supported by a wealth of credible evidence. International intelligence agencies, including those from the United States, the United Nations, and respected human rights organizations, have repeatedly…

By Uzma Ehtasham It should never take the last gasp of a child for the world to act. Yet somehow, once again, we find ourselves at that precipice, watching as the unimaginable becomes routine. Gaza, a land already scarred by years of blockade, bombings, and broken ceasefires, is once again on the brink—this time not because of rockets or politics, but because of something far more insidious: hunger. The United Nations has sounded the alarm in language stripped of all ambiguity. Tom Fletcher, Deputy Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, warns that 14,000 children in Gaza could die within 48 hours unless…

The navy’s current operations form a key part of a wider strategy aimed at defending national sovereignty and preserving regional stability By Uzma Ehtasham KARACHI: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent visit to the Pakistan Navy Dockyard was a clear demonstration of the government’s commitment to recognizing the vital role the navy plays in safeguarding the country’s maritime frontiers. “The role of the Pakistan Navy is central not only to our national defence but also to the uninterrupted movement of commerce across our waters,” Shehbaz Sharif stated. Welcomed by Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf, the Prime Minister’s tour was…

By Uzma Ehtasham In a region long scarred by suspicion and rivalry, few moments stand out as forcefully as the recent episode that unfolded between Pakistan and India. It was a moment charged with danger, where rash decisions could have hurled the subcontinent into deeper chaos. Yet, through courage, clarity and what many in Pakistan call divine providence, the tide was turned. The Modi government’s baseless accusations of terrorism were merely a curtain behind which lurked a calculated military aggression aimed at destabilizing Pakistan. But the script did not go according to India’s plan. Pakistan’s response—measured, forceful, and unified—marked a…

By Uzma Ehtasham KARACHI: The governor of Sindh, Kamran Tessori, has revealed that a French company declined to sell fighter jets to India unless the accompanying pilots were trained by the Pakistani Air Force. Speaking to the media outside CMH Hyderabad, he said this shows India’s limitations and sends a clear message that such hostile moves won’t be tolerated. Tessori praised the Pakistani military for raising the nation’s pride, saying India will think twice before making any similar moves again. “Our soldiers have made the whole nation proud,” he said. “The slap we gave India has been witnessed worldwide.” He…

By Uzma Ehtasham In the sunlit halls of Muscat, negotiators from Washington and Tehran gather amid a cloud of uncertainty. Their task is daunting: to revive an accord that once curbed Iran’s nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief. Yet the real challenge lies not solely in technical clauses or verification protocols, but in the capricious conduct of the world’s most powerful leader. On Monday, President Donald Trump speaks of agreement. By Friday, he brandishes threats of military action. In this fragile dance of diplomacy, such mixed messages risk turning cautious optimism into dangerous miscalculation. It is no secret that…
