Indian continuation of state terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir

Pakistan has categorically rejected India\’s malicious assertions based on a complete distortion of facts to advance its false and self-serving narrative in which the remarks of Prime Minister Imran Khan have been completely twisted by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs.

The Foreign Office Spokesperson, in an announcement today (Monday), said that this mischievous attempt is profoundly condemnable.

The Spokesperson said that the Indian Ministry of External Affairs\’ announcement on Friday is a continuation of their frantic battle to redirect worldwide consideration from India\’s state terrorism in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and its proceeding with wrongdoings against the Kashmiri individuals.

She said Pakistan has been the principal victim of terrorism, including terrorism perpetrated against our people from across the border and tens of thousands of our citizens have lost their lives, while thousands of our valiant law enforcement personnel have made the ultimate sacrifice in Pakistan\’s resolute fight against terrorism. She said Pakistan\’s sacrifices and contribution to combating the scourge of terrorism have been recognized by the international community.

The representative said Senior Indian authorities and other Indian commentators have frequently boasted about destabilizing parts of Pakistan and their nefarious designs to use terrorism as state policy against Pakistan. She said today, the Hindutva-driven saffron terror against India\’s minorities, Indian state-terrorism in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and India\’s use of terrorism as an instrument to destabilize its neighbors stands fully exposed.

She said it is India that is looking to twist and distort the report of the UN Security Council\’s Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team to promote its anti-Pakistan propaganda. We are sure that the world community will not be misled.

The Foreign Office said that Pakistan\’s job as a facilitator to the continuous peace process in Afghanistan has been broadly recognized worldwide. Pakistan has, since the start of the Afghan Peace process, alarmed the world about the role of spoilers region, who do not wish to see peace, stability and prosperity return to Afghanistan and waste no opportunity to create obstacles in the successful advancement of the peace process

Pakistan wishes to reiterate that all relevant partner countries must guard against such attempts while supporting the process for an inclusive and comprehensive political settlement in Afghanistan.

The Great Unknotting: America’s Tech Break with China, and the Return of the American System

As the U.S. unwinds decades of technological interdependence with China, a new industrial and strategic order is emerging. Through selective decoupling, focused on chips, AI, and critical supply chains, Washington aims to restore domestic manufacturing, secure data sovereignty, and revive the Hamiltonian vision of national self-reliance. This is not isolationism but a recalibration of globalization on America’s terms.

Inside the Istanbul Talks: How Taliban Factionalism Killed a Peace Deal

The collapse of the Turkiye-hosted talks to address the TTP threat was not a diplomatic failure but a calculated act of sabotage from within the Taliban regime. Deep factional divides—between Kandahar, Kabul, and Khost blocs—turned mediation into chaos, as Kabul’s power players sought to use the TTP issue as leverage for U.S. re-engagement and financial relief. The episode exposed a regime too fractured and self-interested to act against terrorism or uphold sovereignty.

The Indo-Afghan Arc: Rewriting Pakistan’s Strategic Geography

The deepening India-Afghanistan engagement marks a new strategic era in South Asia. Beneath the façade of humanitarian cooperation lies a calculated effort to constrict Pakistan’s strategic space, from intelligence leverage and soft power projection to potential encirclement on both eastern and western fronts. Drawing from the insights of Iqbal and Khushhal Khan Khattak, this analysis argues that Pakistan must reclaim its strategic selfhood, strengthen regional diplomacy, and transform its western border from a vulnerability into a vision of regional connectivity and stability.

Pakistan’s rejection of a Taliban proposal to include the TTP in Turkey talks reaffirmed its sovereignty and refusal to legitimize terrorism.

Legitimacy, Agency, and the Illusion of Mediation

The recent talks in Turkey, attended by Afghan representatives, exposed the delicate politics of legitimacy and agency in Pakistan-Afghanistan relations. By rejecting the Taliban’s proposal to include the TTP, Pakistan safeguarded its sovereignty and avoided legitimizing a militant group as a political actor, preserving its authority and strategic narrative.
