While it is vital to investigate any such claims, it is equally essential to acknowledge Pakistan’s longstanding policy of strict neutrality in international conflicts. Pakistan’s Foreign Office has vehemently rejected these allegations, emphasising that the IMF bailout negotiations were focused on implementing critical economic reforms. However, these claims must be critically assessed, as they run counter to Pakistan’s declared stance and established foreign policy principles. Maintaining neutrality in international conflicts is not only a matter of policy but also a reflection of Pakistan’s commitment to peace and stability. Beyond that, it threatens to stain the growing relationship we have fostered with both Ukraine and Russia through this carefully crafted neutrality policy.

By John Goolsby, Prep Sports EditorTRUSSVILLE- The Hewitt cross country team competed in the Southern Showcase in Huntsville this past weekend. The girls team recorded a 12th-place finish, and the boys team finished 26th in the highly competitive Championship Division. “It was an exciting day for our girls team,” said head coach Matthew Michalke. “The boys saw a lot of improvement, especially our younger guys, with 12 running a season PR,” said Michalke. “I feel good about where we’re at as a team at this point in the season, but there is a lot of racing still to come,” he said.

He was a strong supporter of a movement banned in India called Khalistan, which calls for an independent Sikh homeland. “We have seen and reject the statement of the Canadian prime minister in their Parliament, as also the statement by their foreign minister,” the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. Canada has also moved to expel a top Indian diplomat, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said. “This is an extremely perverse statement … On the basis of the available evidence, it falls flat,” Sahni told Arab News. “This is entirely defined by domestic politics, not by any objective evidence-based involvement of the Indian state,” Sahni said.

Chesterton freshman Cody Baughman found himself in that situation Wednesday night when a 2-2 deadlock against Crown Point had to be settled by penalty kicks. The teams alternate shots and Crown Point went first. Crown Point made 3 of 5 shots and Chesterton had made 3 of 4 heading into Baughman’s turn. He wasn’t even playing around with it, so yeah, it was awesome.”A minute later, Crown Point had the lead again. The Trojans lost once to Crown Point in overtime, so half the matches were not decided in regulation.

In the intricate fabric of a country’s development and stability, institutions serve as foundational structures that influence the trajectory of governance and societal affairs. The current situation in Pakistan necessitates that individuals reflect upon the dilemma that the nation is facing. The attainment of national integrity necessitates the recognition that institutions serve as the fundamental support structure inside any given society. Nevertheless, it is vital for individuals to possess credibility in order to endure the critical evaluation of the individuals they are serving. In a contemporary period characterised by increasing public mistrust towards institutions, the preservation of their reputation assumes utmost importance.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exposing Indian involvement in the state-sponsored murder of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was “just the tip of the iceberg”, said Kashmiri leader Fahim Kayani on Tuesday. President of the Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK, Kayani added that the embassies were being used for covert operations by the rogue Indian state, under the extremist Hindu regime of Narendra Modi. Lastly, Kayani called on Kashmiri groups across the world to take precautions in the wake of the Indian state-sponsored murder. "This moment demands an international campaign to expose the brutal face of the long arm of the Indian state around the world," he concluded. Another Kashmiri separatist leader Altaf Ahmed Bhat also shared the news about Canadian PM Trudeau expelling the Indian diplomat.

ISLAMABAD - After Pakistan’s pres­sure to take action against TTP militants involved in the attack on Pakistani border posts in Chitral, Afghan Tali­ban authorities have or­dered operation against TTP hideouts in Kunar.

The blockbuster hit Jab We Met will soon be getting a sequel, as confirmed by a report in Zoom. Rumours of a possible part two to the beloved film began when a fan asked Shahid whether he and Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali had any collaborative projects lined up on Valentine's Day. Although the Love Aaj Kal has many films credited to his name, fans were quick to assume that an Imtiaz and Shahid collaboration could only mean a Jab We Met sequel and not another movie with new characters. However, it has been confirmed that the sequel is indeed in production under Raj Mehta. The responsibility for producing this much-anticipated sequel falls upon Raj Mehta, operating under the Gandhar Films banner.

Despite its advantages, the globalisation strategy has been criticised for adversely affecting local businesses and labor practices in developing nations. The concept of regionalism gained momentum due to the intensification of global war in various fields as a result of globalisation. The global economy, food programs, and humanitarian initiatives could be at risk due to a move from globalisation to regionalism. The world’s significant shift from globalisation to regionalism is due to the exploitation and disparities that were present in the former system. Achieving an equilibrium between regionalism and globalisation will be pivotal in shaping the world’s future.

The beach chair rental guy. Of course, that means we have to deal with the chair rental guy. Every few hours the rental guy will courteously visit other chair renters and offer to reposition their umbrellas so they can remain in the shade. I made it a point to cross right in front of the rental guy’s little headquarters, where he sat with his boom box and his bodybuilding magazine. After a few minutes, I noticed the rental guy was drilling umbrella holes in the sand just parallel to us.

The move marks the beginning of the tenure of new Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa as the country's top judge. Supreme Court judges retire automatically upon reaching the age of 65, and the next most senior judge is elevated as the chief justice. The chief justice asked Rahim to read the law out aloud, however, the lawyer kept losing focus and the judges repeatedly told him to read the law. At one point during the hearing, CJP Isa observed that it would benefit the chief justice if this law is struck down. Since then, some apex court judges have been saying that the case should be decided at the earliest, because of wide-ranging impact.

Reflecting on the recently introduced oil refining policy for both existing and new projects, one can’t help but wonder about the lost opportunities that might have been seized with more proactive decision-making. Currently, Pakistan has five oil refineries with a combined potential to produce approximately 20 million tonnes of petroleum products annually, including diesel, petrol, furnace oil, and jet fuel. Yet, the tide might turn with the advent of the new oil refining policy. The project might usher in Saudi Aramco, the world’s biggest oil company, to Pakistan, revolutionising the nation’s oil refining landscape. Therefore, if the oil refining policy yields the desired results, its impact on the economy could be monumental.
