The Pakistani diaspora, comprising millions of individuals living abroad, has been urged to avoid polarisation as they are the ambassadors of their home country.

In the recent past, it has been seen that some segments of the diaspora have become polarized and often prioritised political affiliations or external agendas.

Such incidents have not just harmed their image, but also affected Pakistan. It has led to a growing disconnect with domestic populations, the dissemination of divisive narratives, and the undermining of Pakistan’s international standing.

Without any doubt, overseas Pakistanis have always played a crucial role in shaping the global perception of Pakistan and boosting the country’s economy. National leaders have highlighted their role in the country’s progress.

As the face of the country in foreign lands, the community is important for Pakistan’s culture, values, and interests. But it has been reported that some sections of the diaspora have become conduits for narrow political agendas, undermining their credibility and their home country’s national interests.

It merits here to mention that overseas Pakistanis are seen as the identity of Pakistan and its representatives abroad. When they appear divided or opposed to their own state, it tarnishes the nation’s image and undermines its credibility on global platforms.

By promoting a cohesive vision for progress, the Pakistani diaspora can reclaim its position as a vital link between Pakistan and the global community. This renewed focus aims to enhance mutual respect and understanding, allowing for stronger connections and collaboration across borders.

A critical analysis of Drop Site News’ report alleging a UK–Pakistan “swap deal,” exposing its reliance on anonymous sources, partisan framing, and legally impossible claims.

Anonymous Sources, Big Claims, Thin Ground

A recent Drop Site News report claims a covert UK–Pakistan exchange of convicted sex offenders for political dissidents. But a closer look shows the story rests on hearsay, anonymous insiders, and a narrative shaped more by partisan loyalties than evidence. From misrepresenting legally declared propagandists as persecuted critics to ignoring the legal impossibility of such a swap, this report illustrates how modern journalism can slip into activism. When sensational claims outrun facts and legality, credibility collapses, and so does the line between holding power accountable and manufacturing a story.

A sharp critique of Zabihullah Mujahid’s recent evasive remarks on the TTP, exposing Taliban hypocrisy and Afghan complicity in cross-border militancy.

Zabihullah Mujahid’s Bizarre Statement on TTP: A Lesson in Hypocrisy and Evasion

Zabihullah Mujahid’s recent statement dismissing the TTP as Pakistan’s “internal issue” and claiming Pashto lacks the word “terrorist” is a glaring act of evasion. By downplaying a UN-listed militant group hosted on Afghan soil, the Taliban spokesperson attempts to deflect responsibility, despite overwhelming evidence of TTP sanctuaries, leadership, and operations in Afghanistan. His remarks reveal not linguistic nuance, but calculated hypocrisy and political convenience.

Beyond the Rhetoric: What Muttaqi’s Address Reveals About Afghan Policy

Interim Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi’s recent address sought to reframe Afghanistan’s strained ties with Pakistan through a narrative of victimhood and denial. From dismissing cross-border militancy to overstating economic resilience, his claims contradict on-ground realities and historical patterns. A closer examination reveals strategic deflection rather than accountability, with serious implications for regional peace and security.

We Want Deliverance

Political mobilization in South Asia is not rooted in policy or institutions but in a profound yearning for deliverance. From Modi’s civilizational aura in India to Imran Khan’s revolutionary moral narrative in Pakistan, voters seek not managers of the state but messianic figures who promise total transformation. This “Messiah Complex” fuels a cycle of charismatic rise, institutional erosion, and eventual democratic breakdown, a pattern embedded in the region’s political psychology and historical imagination.
