DG ISPR says Pakistan army chief Munir’s controversial ‘two-nation’ speech days before Pahalgam attack reflected ‘what he stands for, what he is ready to die for’.
Munir Friday talked about apparent need for peaceful resolution of 'Kashmir issue' & condemned India for what he claimed was ‘hydro-terrorism’, a reference to New Delhi putting Indus treaty in abeyance.
The song, which opens with a clip of Army Chief Asim Munir’s speech before the Pahalgam attack, has opened the floodgates of public mockery. Pakistanis have had enough.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha election, there were 1,19,374 registered overseas electors on the rolls. However, only 2,958 actually voted. Kerala alone accounted for 2,670 of those votes.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham says bill will be 'well-timed, as Ukraine is making concessions for peace and Putin is all talk, continuing to kill the innocent'.
Islamabad-based think-tank PICSS's new report says Pakistan saw 'pronounced escalation' in violence last year, with 3,413 conflict-related deaths compared to 1,950 in previous year.

Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the Director General of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), is the son of Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood, who is designated as a terrorist by the United Nations Security Council’s al-Qaida Sanctions Committee. Mahmood, a former nuclear scientist, was sanctioned in December 2001 for his ties to al-Qaida and the Taliban, specifically for providing information about nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons to Osama bin Laden through his organization, Ummah Tameer-e-Nau (UTN). The UN listing cites his meetings with bin Laden and al-Qaida leaders in Afghanistan, where he discussed weapons technology, raising concerns about nuclear proliferation.
Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry happens to be the spokesman for the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). While his father happens to be an UN designated terrorist.
Am sure The Economist journalist never bothered to ask Chaudhry about his father and the kind of upbringing he has had.
The same media organisation casts aspersions on Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and other Indian right-wing political leaders.
