Imam 'Ali's Letter to Malik Ashtar:
"... the public speaks well of only those who do good ... Hence, the richest treasure that you may covet would be the treasure of good deeds. Keep your desires under control and deny yourself that which you have been prohibited ..."

One lesser-known feature of #Pakistan as a potential site for continued US-#Iran negotiations: The press center serves coffee that is "Brewed for Peace."

I welcome the two-week ceasefire agreed by the United States and Iran last night.
We thank Pakistan for its mediation.
The aim now is to negotiate a lasting end to the war. We are in close coordination with our partners on this matter.
Tonight, Pakistan achieved one of its biggest diplomatic wins in years. It also defied many skeptics and naysayers that didn’t think it had the capacity to pull off such a complex, high stakes feat.
But what matters the most is it helped avert a potential catastrophe in Iran.
With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!

Today, I lost a younger brother — @adeelravian805 SP Adeel Ahmed.
Words fall short… it still feels unreal. Adeel wasn’t just a colleague — he was like a younger brother, a friend, and a bright officer who remained my under command during my posting as SSP Ops Quetta full of life and compassion. Behind his quiet smile, he carried a weight that none of us could see, a pain that went unheard.
He served with honesty and dedication, yet life showed him its harshest side. Perhaps we, his friends and seniors, failed to notice when he needed us most.
Adeel left behind a young daughter, little Shinaya, and a wife who stood by him for the last four years — a family that will now live with this unbearable void.
May Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant him peace, and give strength to his family to bear this unimaginable loss.
Gone too soon, my brother… you’ll always be remembered — not for how you left, but for how you lived, fought, and cared for others.
Rest in peace, Adeel. 💔

Small men, when they occupy big offices, have two options: Either they enlarge themselves to suit the office or they reduce the office to suit their small selves. Saad Niaz, through his conduct, has left no doubts about the path that he has chosen.
Translation: Justice Baqar championed human rights and removed encroachments in the road to justice while my father in law shattered people’s hopes and homes under his fabled anti encroachment drive and while I ingratiated myself to the purveyors of the ‘same page’ doctrine
