  Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced that relief will be given up to 50 rupees in petrol prices for the low income section of the country. The Prime Minister said in a review meeting in Lahore that apart from motorcycles and rickshaws, petrol subsidy will be given to consumers with small vehicles up to 800 cc. The Prime Minister emphasized on setting up the practical program of this subsidy as soon as possible. He said that rickshaws, motorcycles and small vehicles are rides of low income people. Similarly, petroleum subsidy will reach the poor people directly. After the announcement of giving subsidy to the poor people, the Prime Minister directly attacked the former prime minister Imran Khan. Although the meeting was regarding the petroleum relief package for poor and low income consumers, but in this meeting also he adopted the same method which the former prime minister had adopted for four years. Now the PDM government is about 11 months too, they should now talk about

  President Dr. Arif Alvi has presented some suggestions to bring stability in the country while addressing a function in University of Karachi. These suggestions have been considered important by serious thinkers. President Alvi said that the country can become strong with democracy. The second suggestion of the President is that all politicians should unite for the sake of national interest. His third suggestion is to decide on general elections in the country. The President has tried several times in his personal capacity in the last 10 months to prevent political conflict and chaos. President Arif Alvi has repeatedly offered to play a role in negotiations between PDM, Tehreek-e-Insaf and the main forces, which was ignored by the political forces willing to clash. A second order to stop the clash could have been issued by the Supreme Court. The stubborn situation of the political forces is that the highest court of the country directs the elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

  Arms, petrol bombs and other illegal items were reported to have been recovered during the police operation in Zaman Park in the name of eradicating no-go area. The government says that the police had a warrant to search Imran Khan's residence. On the other hand, PTI leaders say that this action was taken at the behest of the leadership of Muslim League-Nawaz when no one was present at home except Imran Khan's wife and relatives. The workers, who were for routine work, were arrested by the police as terrorists. Personal animosity and antagonism are deepening in the politics of Pakistan. PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said the operation was part of the agenda set by PML-N chief organiser Maryam Nawaz and aimed at arresting Mr Khan. “A woman, who has never even contested a councillor’s election is setting the government’s agenda,” he said while referring to Ms Sharif’s Friday presser where she asserted that Mr Khan should be arrested. He claimed the operation was in violation of the

  The government has dropped another petrol bomb on the inflation-stricken public and has increased the price of petrol by Rs 5, high-speed diesel by Rs 13 and kerosene by around Rs 2.50.   The notification of new prices has been issued. On the other hand, the Federal Minister for Planning, chairing the meeting of the National Price Monitoring Committee, has issued instructions to the Ministry of National Food Security and the provincial governments that they should have also directed to maintain a balance in the prices of food items, especially edible oil, so that maximum relief can be given to the people in the month of Ramadan and no crisis occurs in the country.   When former prime minister Imran Khan was in power, 13 parties in the PDM alliance used to say that the PTI government had dropped the atomic bomb of inflation on the people. The party also took a long march while the Muslim League (N) also recorded its protest, the popularity of the Muslim League (N) had reached such a

  The Lahore High Court ordered to stop the ongoing police operation in Zaman Park and adjourned the hearing while the Islamabad High Court rejected the warrant cancellation request and asked Imran Khan to submit an affidavit in the trial court. After the decision of the Lahore High Court, the fighting that has been going on for two days has stopped and there has been an opportunity to enable communication for reconciliation. The issue of the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Zaman Park has become a cause of new tension in the country. Tehreek-e-Insaf activists have held separate protest marches and demonstrations in Peshawar, Karachi, Rawalpindi and other cities. The court hearing the Toshakhana case has ordered the arrest and production of Imran Khan, the IG Punjab says that the police only did their duty. The IG Punjab committed terrorism against the resisting workers. Ordered to register cases under the provisions, on which FIRs were registered against many workers. I

  The police operation to arrest Imran Khan has revived the history of turning the situation violent. The DIG of Federal Police reached Zaman Park to execute the orders of the Islamabad Sessions Court. The Islamabad Police was assisted by the Punjab Police and its elite force. Later, the Rangers were also called in. The police used shelling and water cannon to disperse the workers gathered around the residence of Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan. Internet service was suspended in Lahore and its surroundings during the operation. The position of the police was that they have to implement the court orders in any case, while Tehreek-e-Insaf had expressed concerns about Imran Khan's security and requested him to appear online. PTI is the largest political party in the country. In recent days, a survey report by Gallup showed the popularity of various politicians. Nawaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto, who are seeking power, are equally popular with 36 percent of the public. The popularity

  Pakistan, a nation founded on the principles of Islam, has been in the grip of terrorism for the past few decades. The country has been used as a battleground for various regional and international conflicts, and the aftermath of these conflicts has resulted in the rise of extremism and terrorism. The roots of the problem can be traced back to the Soviet-Afghan war of the 1980s. The United States, along with its allies, including Pakistan, supported the Afghan Mujahideen in their fight against the Soviet Union. In doing so, they trained and armed militant groups, including the Taliban, who later turned against their benefactors. The Taliban established their rule in Afghanistan, and their extremist ideology started spreading into Pakistan. After the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the US launched its "War on Terror," and Pakistan became a frontline state in this war. Pakistan's military government, led by General Pervez Musharraf, agreed to cooperate with the US

  As much as national unity and solidarity is indispensable to deal with the serious challenges facing the country, due to the war of interests of political powers and other elements, it is as extinct today. The recovery of the economy from the sinking ship seems to depend on the acquisition of a new tranche of a billion dollar loan from the IMF, for which the strictest conditions are being met, but even after receiving this tranche, economic recovery is not possible. Travel is possible only if the path of understanding is adopted for the purpose of resolving differences instead of political warfare, but the current situation is quite the opposite. Eleven months ago, the Tehreek-e-Insaf government ended due to losing the support of the majority in the parliament, but instead of accepting this change under the constitution and law according to democratic traditions, the path of protest campaign was adopted, which changed in different forms. The former prime minister is using his worke

Pakistan, since its creation, has faced a number of challenges ranging from political instability, economic crises, and terrorism. However, one of the biggest challenges faced by Pakistan has been the inability to establish a system of governance that is just, equitable, and in accordance with the principles of Islam. Pakistan was created as an Islamic state with the promise that a system of governance would be established that would be guided by the principles of Islam. However, this promise was not fulfilled, and instead, Pakistan has been plagued by violence, corruption, and injustice. The state has failed to establish the rule of law, and the people have suffered as a result. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan has given a vision for the transformation of Pakistan according to the teachings of the Quran. This vision is aimed at creating a just and equitable society that is based on the principles of Islam. The vision is based on three pillars: justice, compassion, and accountability.

  The political situation in Pakistan is currently tense, with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party challenging a ban on political rallies and gatherings imposed by the Punjab caretaker government. The ban was imposed under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which prohibits public gatherings of more than four people. The PTI maintains that the ban is "illegal" and violates the party's constitutional right to campaign. PTI chief Imran Khan has directed the party's lawyer, Babar Awan, to move the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) against the ban. The party argues that the ban is in violation of para 15 of the Supreme Court's orders, which permits political rallies and gatherings as long as they do not disrupt public order or clash with other events. The PTI's stance has been met with resistance from the Punjab caretaker government, which has warned that the ban could be extended if the situation "went out of control". The government ha

  The United States has reiterated its offer to mediate between Pakistan and India upon the willingness of the two. State Department spokesman Ned Price says that Pakistan and India will determine their own decisions and procedures to resolve their mutual disputes. It is restoring strategic relations with Pakistan. After the withdrawal from Afghanistan, there was a disloyalty in Pakistan-US relations. The US was willing to impose an economic blockade on Pakistan by holding it responsible for its helplessness in Afghanistan.   In the new circumstances, the United States is not ready to take any responsibility for the resolution of Pakistan's regional disputes, however, in case of the consent of the parties, it seems ready to play its role for purposeful discussions. There are two major issues between Pakistan and India, Kashmir and water distribution. The rest of the issues can be resolved automatically after these two issues are resolved. In reality, only the resolution of the Ka

  Pakistan, a country that was created in the name of Islam, has been grappling with numerous issues, including terrorism, corruption, and political instability, since its inception in 1947. The founder of Pakistan, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, had promised justice for all in the new system based on the teachings of Quran. However, the promise of justice for all remains unfulfilled, as the country has been ruled by terrorists, military dictators, and corrupt politicians for most of its history. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who took office in 2018, has promised to give practical shape to the Quaid's vision of justice for all. However, he is facing enormous challenges, including state terrorism and threats to his life. The recent spate of attacks on his supporters and the opposition leaders indicates that the state is not willing to tolerate any opposition to its authority. Imran Khan, who came to power on the slogan of "Naya Pakistan" (New Pakistan), promised to
