22 October marks a Black Day in Kashmir’s history. On this day in 1947, Pakistan backed tribal forces entered Kashmir through Muzaffarabad, unleashing destruction, looting and brutality and committing atrocities against innocent civilians and women. To save his people and territory, Maharaja Hari Singh sought India’s assistance and signed the Instrument of Accession on 26 October 1947. Indian troops arrived on 27 October, pushed back the invaders and defended Kashmir. Since then, Pakistan has fought multiple wars and continued attempts to destabilise Kashmir through violence and terrorism, while Jammu and Kashmir has moved forward in development and growth. Had Kashmir not acceded to India, its fate could have resembled that of Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir or Balochistan. We remain grateful to India for its timely assistance. The Instrument of Accession was a necessary step for Kashmir’s survival, protecting its people, land and future.

As we mark 79 years of Pakistan’s first war of terror against Kashmir, the Pakistan backed tribal invasion of Kashmir, we remember the loot and oppression it caused, those who lost their lives in protecting our land, and the martyred Maqbool Sherwani, who stood against the invaders. Our bravery and unwavering spirit to defend our land repelled the Pakistani forces. Kashmir would have become another PoJK or Balochistan had the Instrument of Accession not been signed and India’s timely and necessary intervention not taken place. October 1947 was the first rejection of Pakistan by Kashmir.

The recent remarks made by Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif in an interview, where he said that a significant number of government officials, bureaucrats, and officers holding esteemed and high-profile positions in Pakistan are planning to relocate to Europe or North America after serving the country, raise serious concerns about their loyalty and commitment to the country, this also raises serious questions about their confidence in the country’s future.
There are multiple layers to this issue. These officers have the money, intellect, and influence to settle abroad because they believe Pakistan is unfit to live in. Imagine the situation of a country whose officials, diplomats, and bureaucrats plan to leave after retirement. This reflects the deteriorating state of Pakistan, which is grappling with instability, insecurity, terrorism, and poor health indicators.
It is worth noting that the defence minister was referring to top officers who receive handsome salaries and enjoy high living standards, not ordinary citizens. Now imagine the plight of common and poor Pakistanis who do not have access to such privileges or options. How much must they be suffering?
This also exposes how Pakistan's establishment has made the country unliveable even for its top officers, let alone the poor Pakistanis who struggle daily to secure even a loaf of bread. This reflects failed policies, the misappropriation of budgets, with a huge chunk allocated to the army, corruption, and terrorism.
These remarks quietly sum up the state of Pakistan, a country that appears to be ailing beyond recovery. Taken together, these concerns paint a troubling picture of a country grappling with deep-rooted political, economic and security problems. The question is not merely why senior officials want to settle abroad, but what their intentions reveal about the confidence they have in the future of the country they serve.

The human rights situation in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) is characterized by systemic violations, primarily targeting political dissent and minority viewpoints, particularly those advocating independence or opposing the territory’s accession to Pakistan.
With businesses shut down, schools closed, the economy devastated, communication services disrupted, and livelihoods destroyed, Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) presents a picture of an open-air prison, with the region resembling a silenced valley.

The recent remarks on Kashmir made by General Amer Raza, Commander of the NSC, are strongly condemned by the people of Kashmir. Pakistan must stop pretending to be the champion of Kashmiri aspirations and instead look into the situation in PoJK, where people have long suffered under its control, facing absolute neglect and gross human rights violations.

It must also be noted that under Asim Munir, Pakistan is gradually moving towards dictatorship and undeclared military rule. Decisions that should be made by Parliament are increasingly being taken by the army, including the deployment of troops to Saudi Arabia without a parliamentary vote and reported attempts to reorganise existing provinces to create new ones. Such steps are often attributed to Asim Munir, the army chief, alongside laws that support the military's expanding influence.
This clearly signals who has the final say in Pakistan's national and foreign affairs: the army, not the elected government.

Scenes from Pakistan’s KP aftermath emergency imposition show supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan taking to the streets, demanding his release and protesting against the emergency and the dissolution of the provincial assembly. Analysts suggest that this may be an attempt at a provincial takeover by the federal government, whose de facto ruler is widely seen as Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir, who remains locked in a serious confrontation with Imran Khan and his party, PTI.
