نالائق بھانڈی کو سفارش پر میڈیکل کالج میں داخلہ تو مل گیا تھا، مگر وہاں جاکر پتہ چلا، کہ یہاں تو پڑھنا پڑتا ہے تو وہاں سے بھاگ آئی۔۔۔
اور پھر وردی کے شوق میں آرمی میڈیکل کالج سے کیپٹن صفدر کے ساتھ گیراج تک بھاگنے کا سفر، دلاں ہاراں والے ٹبر کی، شرمناک تاریخ کا حصہ ہے۔
Cafe Raha, a well-known café in Blackburn, had its Muslim prayer room targeted in a firebomb attack on Monday morning.
The room was damaged in the blaze, while Quranic calligraphy inside survived the attack.
Police are investigating the incident, though the motive remains unclear.
"At the end of December, Adil Raja, one of the journalists tried in absentia at the start of 2026, reported on X that his house in London had been broken into and ransacked by “unknown assailants.” As a former major in the Pakistani army, Raja’s commentaries are particularly sensitive for the military."
...
"Months after Khan’s removal from office in April 2022, Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif was killed in Kenya, where he had been living in hiding to avoid arrest for criticizing the Pakistani military. Sharif had once enjoyed close relationships with senior army officers, but these ties had soured once he began openly challenging the military’s role in Khan’s ouster.
Kenyan police claimed Sharif had been shot after failing to stop at a roadblock, but the inconsistencies and contradictions in their accounts quickly pointed to more sinister motives. Officers first insisted the killing was an unfortunate case of mistaken identity, before later alleging that Sharif’s car had shot at police first. Pakistani investigators eventually concluded that the most credible explanation for Sharif’s death was a targeted assassination.
Transnational repression endured the political changes in Pakistan, a strong indication that the country’s military establishment is the driving force behind such operations. This is consistent with the way the Pakistan Army operates within the country’s political landscape. The army’s principal interest is maintaining its position of primacy over all other institutions in the country. Most recently, this desire manifested with the country’s new constitutional amendment, which afforded new powers to the army and its chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir. In order to maintain this position, however, the army must limit vocal criticism of its actions, which is why this strategy of transnational repression has endured irrespective of which civilian puppet government is installed in Islamabad at the time.
But in the most recent incidents, the army’s shortsightedness could land its government in hot water with the United Kingdom. Just weeks before the homes of Pakistani dissidents were raided, almost burned down, and said dissidents were tried in absentia, Islamabad sought cooperation from London on their extradition. In early December, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi directly brought up both Adil Raja’s and Shahzad Akbar’s names in conversation with British High Commissioner Jane Marriot. Naqvi, almost certainly under the instruction of the Pakistani military, had requested that Raja and Akbar be returned to Pakistan to face charges related to “spreading propaganda” against the country.
If, as the two men in question suggest, the Pakistani state then sent thugs to intimidate – or even kill – the very people Naqvi had requested Britain hand over, it would be unfathomably reckless and risk significantly damaging bilateral relations between Islamabad and London. No formal extradition treaty currently exists between Britain and Pakistan. However, conducting hostile acts on British soil against British residents is hardly an effective strategy for a country with such flawed democratic credentials to convince its counterparts to establish one.
The Pakistan Army may be less attuned to the growing skepticism within the United Kingdom toward the country’s relationship with Pakistan. Throughout 2025, increased attention has been afforded to the fact that many of the organized groups of men responsible for the systematic grooming and sexual exploitation of children across the U.K. were predominantly of Pakistani heritage. This prompted the British government to examine more closely the roles of ethnicity, religion, and culture as contributing factors in the proliferation of these grooming gangs, and led Foreign Office ministers to raise the issue of deporting those convicted of these crimes. Pakistan has reportedly been receptive to these requests; however, its cooperation has been made contingent, unsurprisingly, on Britain deporting Akbar and Raja. That Islamabad is willing to jeopardize a productive relationship with London over a handful of dissidents points toward just how threatened the military is by these figures.
Ironically, by targeting these dissidents abroad, Pakistan risks drawing even greater international attention to its accelerating authoritarian turn and erosion of civil society. These are developments long obvious to those living within the country. Despite the bonhomie with the Trump administration, by extending its repression into the U.K. and the U.S., Islamabad could court diplomatic consequences that far outweigh the threat posed by a handful of exiled critics. The plight of Imran Khan is already being amplified by his allies to all Western lawmakers willing to listen, and these latest actions by the Pakistani state will only serve to bolster the claims being made by the former prime minister’s close associates.
For a country that seems perpetually on the brink, Pakistan should think twice before pushing itself further toward pariah status."
