روبینہ چانڈیو کو جب کاری قرار دے کر قتل کیا گیا تو SHO حاکم ہکڑو نے مقتولہ کو بغیر غسل اور کفن کے اس ہی ڈریس میں جو خاتون نے پہنی ہوئی تھی جب اس کو قتل کیا اور وہ ڈریس ایک ثبوت تھی اس جرم کا اس ہی لال جوڑے میں دفن ہونے دیا اور بعد میں تین فٹ کا ایک کھڈا کھود کر اس میں مقتولہ کی لاش کو پھنکوا دیا بعد میں پانچ لاکھ روپے لےکر سرکاری مدعیت میں مقدمہ درج کرکے اصل مجرمان کو بچا لیا۔

A humble request to those who have qualified and got allocations in #css2024, you have a right to celebrate your success but do not celebrate too loud to hurt those who could not make it.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Every time the #CSS result is announced, my heart becomes heavier thinking about those who despite doing hard work could not make it.
Be assured, #CSS is just a means of employment. Life is way bigger than this.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Congratulations to those who got allocations but special prayers for those' who despite failing this time' are determined to do it next time. #css2024

So, possible CSS/PMS questions are:
SCO is a factor for reforming the world order, not destroying it. Comment.
Or
SCO - a grievance club or a potential forum for establishing new world order. Comment
Or
SCO-All East Forum lacks the credentials to establish new global order.

Don't forget, the three are th biggest beneficiaries of current world order, free trade and free flow of capital. They do not want the system go, but desire major share and more voice in the current world order.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

SCO, at the moment, is a club where members come and grieve, and sort of jealous their beloved (the US and the West) by showing love to rivals. But, if grievance became common, then it can take off.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Keeping in view the speeches of the three, we hardly find common grounds among them. They all are pushing for their own interests, not a bad thing, but for the success of SCO, divergence in their goals is not a good omen.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Modi, as usual, took a swipe at Pakistan and hinted at lack of access to Afghanistan and Central Asia. Played to the domestic audience, rather meaning business with the SCO.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Condemned using terrorism for advancing political goals. Expressed its intent to fight all forms of terrorism including state terrorism. A strong message to India.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Pakistan rightfully presented itself a victim of terrorism, not a perpetrator. A reality. Sought stable and normal relations with neighbours. Asked SCO to be a lead in comprehnsive and structural dialogue with neighbours. Multilatralizing the disputes with India +

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Putin was found explaining the reasons behind invasion of Ukraine. He said SCO System will replace outdated Eurocentric and Euro-Atlantic Systems. A far cry from the reality.
He tried to send a signal to Europe by standing in a circle of friends or oil buyers.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Will China support India in becoming a Veto Power? At the moment, it is out of question. China proposed GGI whereas India gave Civilization Dialogue Forum. India raised alarm over China's puch for connectivity that by-passes sovereignty- a swipe at BRI.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Xi, Modi and Putin stressed upon multilateralism & opposed unilateralism. In plain words, they opposed US hegemonism, demanded greater share in global governance. Bt specifically India asked for reforms in UN, means permanent seat in UN Security Council.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

We've seenselective implementtaion of UN Resolution by the US and the West as they have the might and power of implementation. Like, resolutions on Palstine and Kashmir are still unimplemented but on Iraq and Afghansitan were implemented. +Xi was pointing to this doubel standard.

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Promising more representation to developing countries is a good tactic to secure their support for the shift in global order. He also explained that new order will be based on UN Charter but there will be no double standards in its implementation. +

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

Xi talked about Global Governance Initiative. A democratic, just and equitable world order wherein developing countries will have more voice and representaton.
Without having democracy at home, talking about democratic global governance sounds hollow. ++

[Pakistan & Current Affairs for CSS/PMS Exams @CurrentCss64635]

The world is talking about the meeting of Xi, Modi and Putin during the 25th Summit of SCO and equating it as a harbinger of new world order. But do the three have really a consensus on the contours of new word order or is it just a blackmailing tactic? Lets dissect;
