Salute to Pakistan Army for neutralizing 41 Indian-backed terrorists in #Balochistan, a major blow to India's destructive plans. I believe international community must acknowledge #Pakistan's efforts in combating terrorism.

The recent interest of #Chinese in Pakistan’s #IT sector is a major opportunity. With smart, transparent policies, #Pakistan can turn this partnership into real tech growth. It can boost innovation, attract investment, & create strong employment prospects for our youth.

Do not be misled by the propaganda spread on social media by the facilitators of FAK and FAH against Pakistan's security forces. The Pakistan Army is fully and responsibly taking care of the internally displaced persons from Tirah Valley. The local population has categorically rejected FAK and, in support of clearance operations, has voluntarily vacated their homes to ensure the safety of civilians and the success of the mission.

Pakistan is exceptionally rich in natural resources, especially gemstones, and it's time we truly capitalize on this potential. Let's boost exports & strengthen our economy! #GemstonePotential

I believe timely disbursement of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's NFC funds is vital for the province's progress and prosperity. Immediate action will ensure development & justice for merged districts. Let's prioritize national stability & prosperity! #KFPNFC

[Tahir Farooq @tahirdittehad]

I believe #Pakistan’s decision to join the Board of #Peace supports peace and stability. However, our government must clearly communicate the terms of our involvement and ensure no military commitments. Let peace remain our guiding principle.

[Tahir Farooq @tahirdittehad]

The devastating Gul Plaza incident shows negligence of govt authorities. I believe stricter safety protocols and timely emergency responses can prevent such tragedies. Our people deserve better. Government should prioritize safety, implement stricter laws, &ensure accountability!

[Tahir Farooq @tahirdittehad]

I see Pakistan–Bangladesh defence ties as part of a wider regional reset. In a shifting power landscape after the fall of Sheikh Hasina, closer military cooperation can support peace, prosperity, stability, trust, and a shared vision for regional economic growth.

As Pakistan 🇵🇰 and China 🇨🇳 marks 75 years of diplomatic ties, the Dar–Wang Yi talks send a clear message: regional uncertainty may rise, but the friendship between #Islamabad and #Beijing only deepens, guided by trust and shared vision for the future.

[Tahir Farooq @tahirdittehad]

No jobs, no future. I genuinely believe that in 2026, #Pakistan’s biggest challenge is youth unemployment. If we fail to create jobs, we will lose talent to brain drain. Jobs keep talent at home and give direction to a generation that wants to contribute to the nation's progress.

[Tahir Farooq @tahirdittehad]

Flashing back to 2025: prioritizing clarity over chaos was the first step to progress. We have seen progress in IT, remittances and military triumphs. But real growth needs real youth opportunities, they are the real asset and strength of our future.

The Arif Habib Corporation Limited–led consortium acquired a majority stake in Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) with the highest bid of Rs135 billion in an auction held for the privatisation process of the national flag carrier on Tuesday.

Arif Habib raised its bid from Rs115 billion to Rs135 billion after the Lucky Cement Limited–led consortium increased its earlier bid of Rs101.5 billion to Rs134 billion in the second round of the open-bidding.

PIA’s sale for Rs 135B can be a positive step for the national carrier. Improvement is vital as PIA remains a matter of national pride. Privatization alone is not enough, strong regulation, transparency, and consistent oversight are essential for real benefit.
