The controversy raises critical questions about whether Ottawa can balance economic ambitions with justice, accountability, and the protection of Canadian sovereignty.
Upendra Dwivedi’s ‘Blame Pakistan’ Game: Will It Ever End
Same script, different day—will the cycle of accusations ever end?
India’s recent claims by Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, accusing Pakistan of being the “epicenter of terrorism” in Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), stand in stark contrast to well-documented facts. Such allegations are not just misleading but serve as a smokescreen for India’s own state-sponsored terrorism in IIOJK, where Indian security forces routinely engage in extrajudicial killings, torture, and other human rights abuses. India’s military presence in Kashmir has long been associated with daily atrocities against innocent civilians, which international human rights organizations have extensively documented.
Dwivedi’s accusations reflect a growing frustration within India’s military leadership, attempting to deflect attention from the improprieties of their own actions onto. His statements underscore India’s inability to address the root causes of violence in Kashmir, opting instead to falsely attribute all the region’s instability to external forces.
Dwivedi’s persistent ‘Blame Pakistan’ rhetoric not only lacks substance but also detracts from the pressing need for India to introspect its policies in IIOJK and beyond.

Why Indian General Upendra Dwivedi’s ‘Blame Pakistan’ Game Don’t Hold Up
Let’s take a look at the data-driven reality:
India’s sponsorship of militants targeting CPEC projects further exposes its desire to derail regional connectivity and economic progress. This disruption is part of a broader strategy to thwart Pakistan’s economic growth and maintain regional hegemony.
In light of these revelations, India must reform its own counterterrorism framework and stop making baseless accusations against Pakistan. It is crucial for the international community to hold India accountable for its destabilizing actions and its disinformation campaign against Pakistan. Global oversight should compel India to cease using terrorism as a political weapon and push for a genuine commitment to peace and security in South Asia.

Narrative by Design: Al Jazeera’s Editorial Tilt on the Pakistan–TTP Conflict
Al Jazeera’s reputation for alternative journalism contrasts sharply with its recent reporting on Pakistan’s conflict with the TTP and tensions with the Afghan Taliban. A close review shows consistent editorial choices that soften the Taliban’s image, reframe terrorist violence as resistance, and cast Pakistan’s counter-terrorism actions as aggression—ultimately reshaping the narrative in Kabul’s favour.
Modern Platforms, Evolving Doctrine

Zohran Mamdani Stands Up for Justice: Holding Modi and Netanyahu Accountable
