Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has pledged Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Kashmiri people, vowing to continue diplomatic efforts at international forums until their right to self-determination, as outlined in United Nations resolutions, is realized. Addressing a special session of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly via video link, the Prime Minister emphasized that Kashmir was declared by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah as the "jugular vein" of Pakistan. He also condemned the Indian government for allowing illegal settlements in the region, which have negatively impacted millions of Kashmiris. Prime Minister Sharif expressed confidence that the day of Kashmiri independence will come soon and reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to providing political, diplomatic, and moral support until the Kashmiri people achieve their inalienable right to self-determination. Additionally, Prime Minister Sharif highlighted the current situation in Palestine, condemning the daily violence against innocent people in Gaza and the lack of respect for International Court of Justice rulings by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Had the leaders considered all citizens equal, everyone would have been made to pay taxes directly proportionate to income regardless of the means of income. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has stressed more than once that Pakistan needs to tax the rich, widen the net, levy direct taxation on all who earn above a declared threshold. All over the world, citizens pay taxes and obey laws because of the fear of fine or punishment. The IMF has asked the Pakistani government to increase revenues through direct taxation. It is the government that has decided to protect its own favourites from taxation, rely on indirect taxation and increase the burden on the salaried class.

This could serve as a catalyst for the resolution of some long-standing difficulties, thus itshould be viewed as a positive development. In the midst of an increasing backlog of unresolved cases that are clogging up the legal system—the number of cases has now exceeded 2.2 million—the Supreme Court, for instance, has expressed new concerns about pointless, vexatious, and reckless legislation. Several technical developments, such as e-courts and the digitization of court proceedings and records, have been embraced by the judiciary in recent years with the purpose of lowering the backlog of cases. More swiftly than anticipated, the backlog might be cleared by combining stronger sanctions for filing pointless claims with creative, tech-assisted approaches. For this reason, in order to restore the public’s declining trust in the legal system, a comprehensive and coordinated approach to lowering the case backlog is required.

As Pakistan observes Youm-e-Istehsal (Exploitation Day) on Monday (today), to mark the fifth anniversary of India revoking Kashmir's special autonomy and to show solidarity with Kashmiris, the region's dark night of suffering continues unabated. For 75 years, the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) have faced relentless oppression and illegal occupation by Indian forces. The situation took a nosedive on August 5, 2019, when the Indian government revoked Kashmir's special status, an act fiercely rejected by the local population. The Indian military has illegally seized 60,000 kanals of land, and 200,000 acres of land have been unjustly taken from Kashmiri citizens. Rights groups have sounded alarms that the Indian government aims to commit genocide against Muslims through illegal amendments to 890 laws.
