Saturday was a day of chaos worsened by partial media blackout, restrictions on social media and continuous circulation of conspiracy theories via WhatsApp in Pakistan.
Army chief General Qamar Bajwa seems to be against the military’s direct intervention in politics but Khadim Rizvi and his cohorts have been making insinuations that the general might not belong to the right sect.
The Pakistani military continues to re-engineer politics by removing undesirable politicians and advancing the careers of civilians considered more pliable.
Khawaja Asif’s comments do not portend a paradigm shift in Pakistan. He may believe it to be true but it risks inflaming the already tenuous ties with the military
In the first of a three-part opinion series on Pakistan, Paul Kapur writes that solving Pakistan’s jihad problem requires more than just reforming its Army—or threats from the U.S. Pakistan needs to change its national narrative.

News channels were also in two minds about removing stray dogs to the government dog pounds. NDTV took credit for it and CNN-News 18 called ‘controversial order’.
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.
21st edition of annual joint military exercise will be held from 1 to 16 September, aimed at sharing military tech, operational best practices & disaster relief coordination methods.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Satish is laughably naive. So our killers are noble, and their killers are assassins. Our motherland’s principles are so full of honour, and Pak protecting its own national interest is filthy? As if a severed head is more savage than a clinical sanitised clean hit – both targets fall dead you know. Oh, and only civilians should aim for corner plots, is it? All armies are the same. They step in where diplomacy fails and do the deadly bidding of politicians who rabble rouse. And there’s only thing common to all young dead soldiers fighting either enemy, insurgency or disgruntled domestic terrorists: They are all dead. You can keep shedding your precious tears for Indian soldiers, since your phoenix like principled tears are going to make dead men alive again. Laughable really
The uniform wearing men in Pakistan don’t deserve to be called ‘Army’. An army is a collection of young warriors willing to go in harm’s way to defend their motherland and the principles she upholds. Majors who direct terrorists in Mumbai ovee cellphones, Captains who tortture and mutilate bodies of officers and Colonels who gloat over trophies of severed heads brought from across the borders are animals by my reckoning. A disgrace to the uniform they wear all in the hope of getting a corner plot or sinecure when they retire. I feel sorry for the families of the young Pakistani officers killed but unable to shed a tear.
Just like young Indian officers die fighting Kashmir militants ? Or maybe the CRPF bravehearts who are killed by Naxals? It’s one thing to report a study, and quite another to gloat about how someone else is suffering. Schadenfreude. Pakistan is fighting extremism – trying hard to. India might only realise how tough it is, when the Hindu terrorists start wrecking havoc, like Purohit from our Army, and noone takes them on. So spare Pakistan the smug ‘we told you so’. I can understand Pak is failing with army helping militants, but is India any better? With the cops, judiciary, bureaucracy, assorted lunatic Ministers, and army weed like Purohit spawning our own terrorism? Please think deep and hard before you point fingers. Such stories are beating a dead horse. Just be aware of where India is: exactly where Pak was a few yrs ago. And young men died. Have some empathy.
Who is averting here with the name if Aditi Mahajan
