National Integration
Had we sit together with vision and conscious effort, we would have resolved all the differences. It is high time to take the challenge of national integration seriously in order to avoid the sense of deprivation which is being deepened with each passing day. If today Baluchistan bleeds the reason is obvious that we are not making conscious effort to grant the Baluchis their due legitimate rights devolving legislative and financial responsibilities allowing them to self-govern. We ignored Gilgit-Baltastan by not making conscious effort since independence from Dogra Raj on 1st November, 1947. It is high time to take the challenge of national integration seriously in order to avoid the sense of deprivation which is being deepened with each passing day.

Nation desires President to ‘work as symbol of federation’: Solangi
ISLAMABAD, Nov 10 (APP): Caretaker Minister for Information and Broadcasting Murtaza Solangi on Friday said President Dr Arif Alvi should play his role as the “symbol of federation” and fulfill his responsibilities in accordance with the Constitution. “The entire nation desires that the President fulfills his responsibilities as the symbol of the federation and does not give the impression that associates him with a certain political party,” the minister said in a post on the social media platform X. He said the Election Commission was carrying out its responsibilities with extreme diligence and responsibility. “In this context, the complaint made by President regarding the absence of a level-playing field is regrettable,” he added. The minister said those who were advocating for a level-playing field had created chaos.“We hope that the President will allow the Election Commission to do its job.”

Pakistan’s PM calls for engagement with Western capitals, introspection by Muslim nations amid Gaza war
In Hamas-run Gaza, the Health Ministry said Friday that the Palestinian death in the coastal strip toll has surpassed 11,000 people. Blinken’s tour focused largely on the war amid growing international outrage over the destruction wrought on Gaza and demands for an immediate cease-fire. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv last Friday rejected the idea of “humanitarian pauses,” saying military pressure on Hamas could not be eased. They also backed humanitarian pauses and corridors, post-conflict planning for Gaza, and an eventual restoration of a process to bring lasting peace through a two-state solution. “We appreciate the fact that” Israel finally agreed to the pauses, Blinken said as he stopped in New Delhi, more than a week after starting his mission.
