Trouble in Pakistan’s periphery
Pakistan’s ongoing economic crisis has laid bare the colonial relationship the Punjabi center has with the peripheral regions – Baluchistan, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Gilgit-Baltistan. This inequitable relationship is increasingly coming under stress, as Pakistan’s economic crisis means whatever little benefits these regions received from the centre, are now being cut back. The same is true for the neighbouring province of KPK, home to Pakistan’s largest dam, the 3,478 MW Tarbela dam along with a number of smaller projects. China-funded hydropower projects in POK and KPK. Baluchistan is home to Pakistan’s largest gas field, Sui, which has been in production since the fifties.

Nawaz reclaims PML-N presidency after 6 years
PML-N supreme leader and founder Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday officially reclaimed the party presidency, sailing through “unopposed”, six years after a court ruling had removed him from office. Rana Sanaullah announced that ten nomination papers were submitted in Nawaz Sharif's name, all of which were approved after scrutiny. He then asked the attendees to stand up if they wished to endorse Nawaz Sharif's appointment as party president, although it seemed unnecessary since no other candidate was contesting. In his typical fashion of bashing Imran Khan, Sharif pondered over his removal and the potential outcomes if he had been allowed to function uninterrupted. It's worth noting that the anchor in question has developed a reputation lately for being bitterly biased against Imran Khan.
