India wants to deescalate ? Just watched Indian Govt/Army Briefing with Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri. He denied all Pakistani claims of damage to air bases, power infrastructure etc. Pakistani claims may have been exaggerated; but the problem with the Indian briefing was that in 2025 they showed 1950 style photos of their bases & air strips to claim that all is well. Then getting a bit guilty conscious Vyomika Singh added, that these photos are “Time Stamped” - but who is going to check that these are time stamped?
When briefing after briefing ends without taking any questions. I also watched PAF/ISPR Briefing a day earlier; it was a class apart! And its professionalism was noted across the world.
Vikram Misri, like every good Indian, asserted that India is a democracy; but what kind of democracy is this that has just ordered Twitter to block 8,000 accounts including those of International Media & prominent opinion makers from all over the world? Blocked “Force Magazine” and The Wire and apparently even BBC Urdu? Not to forget dozens and dozens of Pakistani Channels. There is something seriously wrong with this “BJP shaped India” leading to regression of minds! India was never that insecure of its position! Why block all criticism when you are not afraid?
Most Indians don’t realize that this totally unnecessary war is making them look bad and irrational!
Ms. Singh, & Mr. Misri kept repeating that Pakistani attacks are causing civilian casualties; but who do they think are dying or maimed at the other end? How many of the 33 men, women & children Indian missile strikes killed & 53 injured (on 7th May) were combatants? How many dying on the other side of LOC are soldiers?
Ms. Singh, again reiterated that Indian Army will deescalate if Pakistan army does so. But the word “deescalate” is continuously being used since the missile attacks before every new act of escalation. After attacking 24 sites, in 9 cities across Pakistan & AJK, on 7th May, there was no Casus Belli left for India. But soon we found Pakistani cities swarming with Indian drones - which were actually used to detect gaps in Pakistan’s Air/Ground Defense, and thus represented a preparation for the next attack on Air Bases. Now in this latest briefing, Ms. Singh mentions that Pakistani forces are moving to forward positions; I don’t know if they are - but it sounds like India now preparing ground to move war to the next level while continuously using the word “deescalate”
I hope I am wrong! But I smell a script, that is unfolding step by step towards a long protracted war! Late Riaz Khokar, Ex-Foreign Secretary, had warned me in 2019, that 2025 will be the year of war - I thought he was a cynic! But may be he was right!

The strong US voice for Imran Khan that will have a tremendous impact to force General Asim Munir to release Khan and get him back in the mainstream policy making of Pakistan, without whom there will be no political stability. Zalmay is a diplomatic bulldozer.

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s statement :

Pakistan today is passing through one of its darkest phases, where there is a complete collapse of law and order and brute force is being used unabated to destroy the very foundations of democracy, constitution, and rule of law.
Judiciary is being enslaved with the executive being given powers well beyond its constitutional entitlement, thus gravely impacting the structure of trichotomy of power.

Nobody is safe from the fascism prevalent today: legislators, their businesses, their properties, their families, even women and children are under assault. Azam Swati, Khawaja Shiraz, Intizar Panjotha have all been abducted and tortured. All established redlines have been fractured with total disregard for human rights.

In the wake of the 26th Constitutional Amendment, the silence of the legal fraternity is disturbing. Today, the situation is much worse than ever before in the past. Judiciary’s independence has been brutally assaulted, and judges turned into dispensable commodities. This must be resisted with the full vigour and faith by the legal community as, otherwise, they will forever remain buried under the unwieldy weight of oppression and tyranny.

The criminal mafias that have been illegally hoisted in positions of power have their properties, businesses and families abroad. They come back only to unleash a reign of plunder to fly off to their safe havens, waiting for their next turn.

They were defeated in the February 8 elections, but the results were stolen in the darkness of night. This blighted night has continued to get darker with the passage of time.

I have been subjected to solitary confinement and torture in a dark cell by those who control Adiala. My Lahore house was raided when my wife was alone. My sisters and other relatives have been mercilessly targeted. I have not been allowed to speak to my children and denied all rights that the constitution grants me.

With the establishment in command, the distance between the armed forces and the people is widening. Army being an indispensable public asset must be responsive to the will of the people. We can’t afford to sacrifice the reputation of the institution to satiate the lust for power of an individual or a coterie of a few. That would be tragic as it would cause irreparable damage to the reputation of the institution.

Our struggle is not against the institution of the military. We are fighting for democracy, independence of judiciary and restoration of the Constitution. The fight is for the rights of the people. We are fighting for confining institutional operations within the domain of the Constitution. We are fighting for restoring people their freedoms so that they could lead Pakistan to become a formidable country.

No outside force will help us. We must do it ourselves. We must regain our freedom, our dignity and self-respect. Loss of these values renders' human life meaningless. What we do now will determine the future of Pakistan and that of its coming generations.

This can be done only if the stolen mandate of February 8 is restored to the people of Pakistan and those whom they selected as their leaders. The governments installed on the basis of a stolen mandate are lack legitimacy and relevance. They cannot provide the country the leadership it desperately needs to tide over unprecedented difficult times.

It is time for people to step out to reclaim their mandate. PTI is the largest political party of the country. We have the people’s trust. We must not fail them. This is the time to launch a peaceful movement for the restoration of the Constitution, democracy and rule of law. I call upon all segments of the society to play their role. I especially urge my ticketholders to join the movement.

[Atif Khan @akhan4pakistan]

I was just contacted by a very senior Republican official who confirmed that Mr. Sajid Tarar is not, and has never been, an advisor to President Trump. She further stated that Mr. Tarar is not even permitted to attend any events with President Trump or his close associates. Additionally, she questioned why Mr. Tarar would be in Pakistan just days before the election if he were truly an advisor. I challenge Mr. Tarar to refute this claim and present any official notification proving his appointment as an advisor to President Trump.

According to Bloomberg, Pakistan's best talent is leaving the country in recod numbers, adding to its already serious political, economic, and security challenges. #Pakistan needs a fundamental reset to begin its recovery. This can start with the immdiate release of Imran Khan.

[Zalmay Khalilzad @realZalmayMK]

The Pakistani authorities really need to release Imran Khan NOW.. 1. This is the essential first step for reconciliation, which in turn is vital for the country’s stability. Millions of Pakistanis recognize that he is in jail on trumped-up charges. This is obvious to me as well. 2. Stability, in turn, will bolster Pakistan's economy. Currently, both foreigners and Pakistanis are reluctant to invest. 3. It will help Pakistan’s relations with the United States, especially if his friend Donald Trump wins next week's elections. #Pakistan @realdonaldtrump

Imran Khan, Oct 29th, 2024

(Speaking to reporters and his lawyers in a makeshift courtroom inside Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi):

I want to clearly state that those who voted in favour of the 26th constitutional amendment betrayed Pakistan by destroying the very foundations of our Constitution.

I was tortured by being confined in a cage and treated worse than animals. This was an extremely vile act. Electricity to my cell was shut off for five days, leaving me in complete darkness. I was confined to the cell for ten days. For several weeks, any visits by family members, doctors, or lawyers were blocked.

They want to break me through this torture and hardship, but I will stand firm for the genuine freedom of the Pakistani nation.

Nawaz Sharif is not concerned about the future of Pakistan. Nor does he have the best interest of the Pakistani people at heart because he has his own wealth and properties stashed abroad. They only come to Pakistan to loot and plunder it and then return to their homeland. He went to the UK 22 times while he was Prime Minister. However, now he is the 12th man [cricket terminology - sidelined] so he has again gone back to his motherland.

I am deeply concerned about the abduction of Intazar Panjutha. This enforced disappearance is a result of the enmity against me personally.
There is complete lawlessness in the country. It has been 21 days since the abduction of my focal person. What is his crime? It is unfortunate that even the courts are silent.

ان عہدوں میں کون کون شامل ہو؟ میرے خیال میں :

It's clear that the US-backed lawfare campaign against former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan and his supporters is aimed at one thing: preventing Pakistan's most popular political movement from participating in the democratic process.

It's time to release Imran Khan.

The world is watching.

Global media coverage of PTI's #DChowkProtest shows the world is seeing roads blocked, cellphone services disrupted, and clashes between police and protesters.

That is what the #Form47 regime chose to do instead of allowing Pakistan's largest and most popular political party to exercise its rights.
