Political and military leadership solidarity on national issues

 
The meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security gave a comprehensive briefing to the country's political and parliamentary leadership on important foreign affairs, internal security, internal challenges, changes taking place in the region, especially the Kashmir dispute and the current situation in Afghanistan. The political and parliamentary leadership expressed satisfaction over the briefing and wished for peace, development and prosperity in Afghanistan. A question and answer session was also held in which the members made recommendations. The Parliamentary Committee on National Security held a camera meeting at Parliament House Islamabad on Thursday. The meeting was chaired by the Chairman of the Committee, Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser. During the meeting, DG ISI Lt. Gen. Faiz Hameed gave a comprehensive briefing. The participants were informed that Pakistan has sincerely played a very positive and responsible role in the Afghan peace process. Pakistan's concerted efforts have not only paved the way for dialogue between the various Afghan factions and warring factions, but also for the beginning of meaningful dialogue between the United States and the Taliban. The meeting was informed that Pakistan, the true representative of the people in Afghanistan, would welcome the government at all levels and would continue its responsible role for Afghan peace. It was further stated in the meeting that Pakistan's land was not being used in the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan and it was hoped that Afghanistan's land would not be used against Pakistan. Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa also answered some questions of the participants.
In view of the issues that were discussed in this meeting and there was a general consensus on it, this briefing, meeting or gathering can be termed as Parliamentary National Dialogue. Such meetings also serve to build consensus on national issues and strengthen unity and harmony on various national issues and issues. The need for this briefing was felt due to the changing situation in the region, in which the US withdrawal from Afghanistan is at the forefront.
 When the United States invaded Afghanistan after 9/11, Pakistan sided with it. Afghanistan was plundered by the United States and its NATO allies in this attack. When the Taliban government was overthrown, they climbed out of the houses of power and into the mountains. Thus began the guerrilla war. The political setup established by the United States was not allowed to rule peacefully. The United States launched this war in the name of ending terrorism. With the support of the United States, Pakistan has fallen victim to terrorism and despite fighting 80,000 people, it is still struggling. Pakistan unconditionally supported the United States in this unpopular war. The United States ranked Pakistan as a "frontline ally" for its services and paid 20 20 billion in "installments" as compensation for the war, while Pakistan suffered a loss of سو 150 billion in terms of infrastructure destruction. Happened During the war, US relations with India began to grow. The United States also assigned him a role in Afghanistan. When India turned its back on the United States against Pakistan, Pakistan-US friendship came to a head which turned into tension and then a series of threats and intimidation started from it. Pakistan exercised as much restraint as possible and persuaded the United States to negotiate with the Taliban. The two reached a peace agreement under which the United States was to withdraw from Afghanistan by May 2021. Postponed to Meanwhile, the Taliban intensified their operations and the occupation began to increase. The Ashraf Ghani administration is urging the United States to refuse to withdraw. The United States does not deny the withdrawal, but it wants to establish bases in Pakistan and monitor Afghanistan from here after the withdrawal. Pakistan flatly refused to give bases to the United States, which was clearly announced by Prime Minister Imran Khan. His position is that the US could not win the war by staying in Afghanistan, how can it win by sitting in Pakistan. Furthermore, we are going to negotiate between the Taliban and the United States. How can we become a party by supporting the United States against the Taliban?
The whole scenario was laid out in the said meeting. The implications of refusing to give bases to the United States were also examined. Other issues of the region were also discussed along with India's barbarism in occupied Kashmir, CPEC and Pakistan-China relations. There was a broad consensus on all issues. The meeting was attended by members of all parliamentary parties. The number is said to be 80. There was a need for a further briefing which is expected soon after Eid. Misunderstandings on national issues should not arise in the first place. If something like this happens, such meetings and gatherings are necessary to remove them.

ECP vs PTI: The Great 'Bat'-tle - A Comedy of Symbolic Proportions

  In the latest episode of the gripping political sitcom, "As the Election Symbol Turns," the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) seems to have developed an unexpected phobia – an acute fear of bats. No, not the flying nocturnal creatures, but the electoral symbol of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). It all started when the Peshawar High Court (PHC) delivered a verdict that left the ECP in a state of shock and awe. The court, channeling its inner superhero, swooped in and decreed that PTI could keep its beloved 'bat' symbol, much to the dismay of the ECP, which is now contemplating its own superhero move – a daring appeal to the Supreme Court. Picture this: ECP officials in capes, armed with legal briefs and grappling hooks, preparing to challenge the mighty 'bat' in the hallowed halls of justice. It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's the ECP, ready to face the daunting foe – a winged mammal holding a cricket bat. The high-stakes saga began when the ...

Judicial Drama Unveiled: Pakistan's Supreme Soap Opera

  In a stunning plot twist that even the most seasoned soap opera writers would find hard to believe, the latest season of "Justice Chronicles: Pakistan Edition" has introduced a new character—Justice Syed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi. In a move that would make legal dramas everywhere envious, Justice Naqvi has taken center stage by filing a petition against the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) and claiming that the complaints against him are nothing more than a politically motivated script. Cue the dramatic music as Justice Naqvi contends that he's just a humble actor, sorry, judge, fulfilling his solemn duty to protect and safeguard the Constitution. It seems the delay in the general elections in the provincial assembly of Punjab is the perfect backdrop for this courtroom drama. Move over, Shakespeare—this is a tale of political intrigue and financial misconduct accusations that puts Hamlet to shame. In a petition submitted under Article 184(3) of the Constitution, Justice Naq...
