These false accusations are not about justice or security. This blame game also serves India’s domestic politics. Every false flag narrative tightens the noose around their lives. Pakistan stands with the oppressed, while India hides its abuses behind manufactured allegations and media noise. Pakistan’s call for justice, transparency, and peace stands firm, while India’s politics of blame continues to expose its moral and political bankruptcy.

Artificial intelligence has quietly but profoundly reshaped human connections in the digital age. At its best, AI strengthens human connections by removing barriers of distance, language, and time. Human connections, filtered through algorithmic preferences, risk becoming narrower rather than richer. When personal interactions are constantly analyzed and monetized, trust the foundation of human connection can erode. The challenge, therefore, is not whether AI should be part of human connection, but how it should be integrated.

Perhaps the most noticeable thing about the Board is its pronounced pro-Israel tilt. The Muslim leaders invited to the Council include the Presidents of UAE, Turkey and Egypt, Muslim countries which have recognized Israel. Israel remain unhappy with its composition, with the initial official reaction being a huffy statement that the membership of the Board is not according to Israeli policy. It might be noted that the Board does not include any Palestinians, or any leader of a Muslim country not recognizing Israel. A diplomatic source in Washington has said that Pakistan has been invited to join the Council, which would probably be necessary if it was to join the stabilization force.
For example, grocery prices and utility costs have been growing faster than many average incomes. In a recent economic survey, average expenses on food rose by over one-third, and energy costs climbed similarly — much faster than income growth. Energy and utility costs bite hard. Energy price changes ripple through the economy, raising transport costs, production costs, and even food prices — tightening the squeeze on families further. To reduce the living costs meaningfully, policymakers must look beyond headline inflation and engage with how real households experience price changes.
The remarks of Prime Minister’s Youth Programme (PMYP) Chairman Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan underscore a narrative the government is keen to project: that Pakistan’s future hinges on the empowerment, education, and skill development of its youth. Rana Mashhood’s emphasis on creating extensive opportunities under the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme reflects an understanding that traditional education alone is no longer sufficient. Rana Mashhood’s reference to Pakistan’s technological performance and its growing recognition at the global level highlights another dimension of national confidence. The vision of a “Rising Pakistan,” built on the energy and potential of its youth, is compelling and necessary. If the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme evolves into a robust, transparent, and results-oriented platform, it can indeed play a transformative role in nation-building.
