India resorting to covert tactics, using proxies to destabilise Pakistan: PM Shehbaz

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Saturday that India was trying hard to avenge the humiliating setback of last year’s war through “covert tactics” and “proxies” aimed at creating instability in Pakistan. “Our eastern neighbour, having suffered a humiliating setback in the conflict in May last year, has increasingly resorted to covert tactics and the use of proxies in an attempt to undermine the hard-earned peace and stability in our country,” the premier said while noting that Pakistan was navigating conflicts and multi-faceted security challenges, marked by a dangerous combination of international and internal threats. The prime minister was addressing a passing-out parade of the 125th Midshipmen Course and the 33rd Short Service Commission (SSC) Course as a chief guest at the Pakistan Naval Academy in Karachi. Referring to the Afghan insurgency, the premier said, “Our valiant armed forces continue to confront the menace of foreign-sponsored terrorism emanating from our western borders,” adding that the nation stood shoulder-to-shoulder with its brave armed forces. He said the entire country remained steadfast in its “iron resolve” to defeat the nefarious designs of enemies, while continuing to pursue peace, dialogue and diplomacy to address all outstanding disputes. PM Shehbaz also highlighted that the address was taking place in the backdrop of monumental global developments affecting lives in ways “unimaginable before”. “Pakistan stands proud as a peacemaker in the comity of nations. Pakistan’s sincere mediation efforts with the support of brotherly and friendly countries led to the historic signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the United States and Iran,” the premier emphasised. He also paid tribute to the Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir for his relentless efforts towards regional peace. Commenting on the recent visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Pakistan, PM Shehbaz said, “It was not only a manifestation of the strong brotherly ties between Pakistan and Iran but also an acknowledgement of Pakistan’s important role to promote peace in the region.” The premier also stressed the evolving regional situation and highlighted the importance of maritime security for the global economy and international supply chains. “Today, the right of free passage and freedom of navigation are no longer luxuries but have become an absolute necessity for the entire world.” The premier reiterated the government’s commitment towards strengthening the navy as a “potent and effective force” that is “not only capable of ensuring national defence, but also acting as a stabilising force in the wider maritime region”. He noted that the strategic naval force produced “tangible operational results” during operations Marka-e-Haq and Bunyanum Marsoos against India. While advocating the Kashmir and Palestine causes, the PM reiterated the country’s resolute and unwavering commitment towards the “just” causes. Addressing the cadets, the head of the government further said that they were joining the maritime force at a time of profound transformation. He underscored the importance of modernising naval capabilities, particularly in the domains of artificial intelligence (AI) and unmanned systems, to meet emerging challenges across the seas and beyond. Concluding his address, he congratulated the cadets for successfully pursuing the course. “The rank you wear on your shoulders today carries immense responsibility. As you embark on this noble profession, always remember: calm waters do not test a sailor nor do fair winds define a captain. It is the rough seas and strong winds that test one’s mettle.” Cadets from Turkey, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Iraq, and Djibouti were also among the passing-out officers. According to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), PM Shehbaz had arrived in Karachi earlier in the morning, where Sindh Governor Nehal Hashmi and Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah welcomed him. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and Information Minister Ataullah Tarrar also accompanied the premier on the visit.

Eight terrorists, including suicide bomber, killed in two separate Balochistan IBOs: ISPR

Security forces killed eight terrorists belonging to Indian proxy Fitna al-Hindustan in two high-tempo intelligence-based operations in Balochistan's Kharan and Mastung districts, the military's media wing said on Saturday. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), security forces received intelligence about the movement of a group of terrorists in Kharan on June 25. As a result of a "precise and skilful engagement", three terrorists were killed, while several others were injured. The federal government last year officially designated all terrorist groups operating in Balochistan as ‘Fitna al Hindustan’, accusing India of sponsoring a proxy war through these outfits.

"During the operation, own troops effectively engaged the terrorists' location, and after an intense exchange of fire, five terrorists, including a suicide bomber, were successfully neutralised," the statement said.

The military's media wing said sanitisation operations were underway to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored terrorists present in the area. "The relentless counterterrorism campaign under the vision of 'Azm-e-Istehkam', as approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, by Pakistan's security forces and law enforcement agencies will continue at full pace to eliminate the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country," the ISPR said. President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif paid tribute to the security forces. In separate statements, the president and the prime minister said the successful operations reflected the professionalism, capability and unwavering resolve of Pakistan's security forces. They reaffirmed that the entire nation stood firmly alongside the armed forces in the fight against foreign-sponsored terrorism and vowed that the campaign would continue until the complete eradication of the menace.

Data from ACLED shows attacks in Pakistan rose nearly fourfold to 2,425 in 2025 from 658 in 2022 and over the same period, TTP attacks increased more than sevenfold to 838 from 118. Although Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa has borne the brunt of terrorism, Balochistan has also remained a major target of Indian proxies, which often target civilians and military installations in the province. In one such attack on the last day of last year, terrorists targeted innocent civilians in Balochistan’s Gwadar and Kharan districts, where 18 people, including women, children, the elderly and labourers, embraced martyrdom. Security forces and law enforcement agencies immediately responded and successfully thwarted the “evil designs” of the terrorists, killing 92 militants, while 15 security personnel also embraced martyrdom during the operation.

Govt lodges protest over BBC report

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has lodged a strong official protest and formal complaint with BBC Urdu over the publication of "fake news regarding Azad Jammu and Kashmir", accusing the broadcaster of relying on unverified allegations while ignoring official facts and on-record statements. In a post on X, the ministry said the report was based on unverified and uncorroborated claims and failed to reflect the official position. "Unfortunately, this is not the first instance of such reporting," it said. "The repeated publication of unverified claims has become a trend, and corrective measures must be taken." Separately, the ministry and the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) government issued detailed fact-checks rejecting BBC Urdu's report alleging that police had blocked the movement of food, medicines and fuel during the ongoing unrest in the region. Both dismissed the report as "factually incorrect" and maintained that there was no truth to allegations of road closures or restrictions on the movement of vehicles. According to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting's fact-check, building a news report around the statement of an anonymous source without credible verification gives the impression of advancing a particular narrative. The AJK government's fact-check specifically rejected BBC Urdu's claim that police had stopped civilians transporting food, medicines and fuel, describing it as contrary to the facts. It said the report's headline and central allegation were based entirely on an anonymous source and that it contained neither video evidence nor any independent witness account or official statement to substantiate the claim. The AJK government further maintained that there was no truth to claims regarding road blockades or restrictions on vehicular movement, adding that highways across the region remained open for traffic. It also pointed out that during a joint press conference held on June 23, the AJK chief secretary and inspector general of police had categorically denied allegations regarding road closures. According to the fact-check, any disruption witnessed on roads was caused by protesters belonging to the banned Action Committee, who allegedly attempted to stop and loot vehicles carrying essential goods. It said law enforcement agencies acted promptly to protect the vehicles and their cargo while ensuring that roads remained open and traffic continued. The federal ministry and the AJK government urged international media organisations to uphold professional journalistic standards and refrain from publishing unverified, misleading and baseless reports. In a related development, AJK police chief warned citizens at home and abroad against disinformation and AI-generated content, urging them to rely on official sources for information amid a "hybrid warfare" environment. Addressing a news conference, Inspector General of Police Captain (retd) Liaqat Ali Malik said all entry points into AJK remained open to all types of traffic, including vehicles carrying essential commodities, and rejected reports suggesting otherwise. He urged overseas Pakistanis, particularly members of the Kashmiri diaspora in the United Kingdom and Europe, to verify information through authentic government media and social media platforms. "All major entry points into the territory, including Kohala, Azad Pattan and Bararkot, are open for all types of traffic without any intervention, except routine security checks within police protocols," he said. Malik alleged that activists of the proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) had erected barriers at some locations and attacked or snatched goods-laden trucks, adding that law enforcement agencies were regularly clearing roads and facilitating commuters. Referring to a recent BBC Urdu report, Malik claimed that the report was based on unverified allegations and published without seeking the government's version, despite the availability of official contact channels. "We can say that this article is far away from reality […]," he said.

HRCP flags gaps in anti-torture law and custodial abuse, demands reforms

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) on Friday urged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to strengthen the country’s anti-torture legal framework, warning that gaps in existing laws continue to undermine accountability for torture and ill-treatment in detention facilities. In an open letter issued on Friday to mark the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, HRCP said torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment — both physical and psychological — remained a serious concern across places of detention in Pakistan. The commission acknowledged the enactment of the Torture and Custodial Death (Prevention and Punishment) Act, 2022, as a significant legislative milestone, but argued that the law failed to recognise mental and psychological pain and suffering as forms of torture. Read: HRCP calls for judicial probe into Punjab CCD ‘encounter’ killings According to HRCP, the omission excluded practices such as threats of death or serious harm, intimidation, coercion, humiliation, mock executions, threats against family members and prolonged solitary confinement from the legal definition of torture. The rights body also expressed concern over the law's investigation mechanism, noting that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had exclusive authority to investigate torture allegations despite senior FIA officers being drawn from the police service. It said this arrangement raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest and weakened public confidence in the accountability process. HRCP further stated that although the National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR) had been assigned an oversight role, its supervisory powers remained unclear, limiting its effectiveness in ensuring independent investigations. The commission said the absence of a systematic monitoring and reporting mechanism had made it difficult to determine the true scale of torture and ill-treatment in detention facilities, leaving policymakers, civil society and international accountability bodies without reliable data. HRCP called on the government to amend the 2022 law to explicitly recognise psychological torture, introduce criminal liability and proportionate penalties for such offences, and ensure victims have access to effective remedies, rehabilitation and compensation in line with Pakistan's obligations under the UN Convention against Torture. Also Read: From ratification to reality — enforcement gap in rights cases It also urged the government to amend the law and the 2025 Rules to guarantee independent, prompt and effective investigations into torture allegations, remove procedural hurdles that delay justice, clarify the oversight powers of the NCHR and ensure that no institution accused of torture has exclusive control over investigations. The commission further called on Pakistan to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture (OPCAT) and establish an independent national preventive mechanism to regularly monitor detention facilities, with its findings made public and acted upon.

Fire guts hundreds of stalls at H-9 market

Hundreds of stalls and their merchandise were reduced to ashes after a fire broke out at the H-9 Sunday Bazaar in Islamabad. Fire brigade teams reached the scene and brought the blaze under control, while traders termed the incident a conspiracy. According to details, the fire erupted suddenly between 10pm and 11pm on Tuesday at the H-9 Sunday Bazaar near Peshawar Mor and quickly spread to several sections of the market. Six Rescue 1122 fire tenders remained engaged in firefighting operations, while the Pakistan Navy's fire brigade also participated in the rescue efforts. According to the district administration, the fire spread to a total of nine sections of the market. Sources said more than 380 stalls were affected by the blaze, while an initial estimate of financial losses is being assessed. No loss of life was reported. Affected traders said government officials arrived at the scene very late and claimed that fires had become a recurring issue at the market. Speaking to The Express Tribune, Abdul Rehman Khan, president of the traders' association of H Section, alleged that the fire was not accidental but part of a conspiracy. He said rescue agencies reached the scene too late, allowing the fire to spread extensively.

Khawaja Asif doubles down, says 'stands by' contentious AJK remarks despite volley of criticism

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Wednesday stood by his recent contentious remarks on Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), calling for a clear distinction between those who had made sacrifices for the Kashmir cause and those who had not. In a television interview, Asif said Rawalakot — which has seen protests led by the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) — was "not Kashmir" and that he did not regard its residents as Kashmiris. He later clarified the remarks on X, saying that "Kashmiriat is defined by the sacrifices and struggles waged over almost eight decades" by Pakistanis, Kashmiris and others, "not by birth certificates". The controversy spilt over to the National Assembly earlier in the day, where PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and PPP MNA Raja Pervaiz Ashraf slammed Asif for his remarks. Read: Asif warns against 'anti-Pak agenda' in AJK Responding to the criticism on private television programme Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath, the minister resolutely said: "Bilawal is entitled to say anything, I don't have any reservation over it, this is the beauty of democracy. When politicians criticise one another on the floor of the assembly or even in the media, I believe it is a sign of the system's success. "I welcome the criticism and rest my point of view — right or wrong but right in my view — I stand by it." He criticised the actions of the JAAC in AJK and accused its members of mistreating bodies. “Members of the action committee not only caused the deaths of people but also desecrated their bodies. After that, one of the committee's members said that while bodies are returned from Balochistan, we will not return these bodies from Kashmir,” he said The minister also criticised the committee's demand to remove references to AJK's accession to Pakistan from official provisions. “If such voices begin to emerge from our side of Kashmir, it undermines our position on a plebiscite. Such statements are benefiting India.” Reiterating his position on the issue of language, Asif said he stood by his earlier remarks and maintained that the language spoken in parts of AJK differed from Kashmiri spoken in the Valley. “The issue of language is entirely different. The language spoken in some parts of Punjab is also spoken in certain areas of Azad Kashmir. Kashmiri, however, is a completely different language that is spoken in the Valley and in many parts of Azad Kashmir.” “Those who migrated from there speak that language, but in areas adjoining Punjab, Kashmiri is not spoken. Instead, the language of Pakistan's Potohar region is spoken there.” Also Read: Bilawal, Fazl slam Khawaja Asif over AJK remarks during heated NA session The defence minister said there should be a clear categorisation between those who had made sacrifices, those who continued to do so and those who had migrated and were living elsewhere. “I believe categorisation is my right and also the right of those people who are still making sacrifices in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.” Referring to the issue of reserved seats for migrants, Asif accused unnamed political forces of backing protesting elements for political gains. He said some parties believed that a larger number of seats in Punjab could increase their political influence, describing the matter as “all politics”. Asked about Fazl, who was approached by the JAAC to mediate with the government, the minister said he respected the veteran politician's role. “I respect Maulana's politics. If his efforts can help find a solution, it is for the government to decide. Personally, I have no objection to Maulana's mediation.” Asif also expressed support for resolving issues through negotiations. “I believe in dialogue, but at the same time, I also believe in expressing my views. Whether someone agrees with them or not, I respect their opinion.” Responding to a question regarding Fazl’s call for protesters to end their sit-in, the minister said he had no objection to contacts between the JUI-F chief, the government and political groups in AJK. “If there are talks with maulana, whether by our party or by political elements within Kashmir, who am I to object?” Background The recent unrest and deadly clashes broke out in areas, including Rawalakot, where the JAAC had been holding a sit-in outside the Combined Military Hospital Rawalakot. AJK police allege that armed JAAC members opened fire on deployed law enforcement in a planned attack, leaving four personnel dead and around 20 injured. JAAC, however, disputes this account, claiming security forces used tear gas and fired shells toward the hospital. According to the AJK police, three individuals linked to the JAAC and four law enforcement personnel were killed during the protests. JAAC, however, said in a statement on X that seven individuals were killed and dozens were injured when street firing was carried out in the dark after electricity was allegedly cut off. The clash came as the AJK government and the JAAC witnessed a face-off, as the election date for AJK was announced for July 27. Read More: Certain elements seeking to create instability in AJK despite repeated offers of dialogue: Rana Sanaullah AJK's 53-member legislative assembly includes 12 seats reserved for Kashmiri refugees — people who fled Indian-controlled Kashmir in 1947 and 1965 and are now scattered across Pakistan. Six seats represent refugees from the Jammu division (~434,000 people) and six from the Kashmir Valley (~30,000 people) — an already lopsided arrangement that many see as unfair. The region witnessed one of its most turbulent periods in October last year when protests led by the JAAC erupted over demands for constitutional and governance reforms. At least nine people, including three policemen, were killed during the unrest. The JAAC, which organised the protests and strike, had presented a wide-ranging charter of demands, including an end to the privileges enjoyed by the ruling elite, the abolition of 12 assembly seats reserved for refugees, and the scrapping of the quota system. Two days after the violence, the government and the JAAC reached an agreement covering 12 core and 13 additional points. Under the accord, both sides agreed to constitute a high-level committee to examine the issue of refugee seats in the AJK Legislative Assembly

Review committee proposes overhaul of contentious telecom bill's provisions, upholds property rights

A committee constituted by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to review the controversial Pakistan Telecommunication Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, has proposed sweeping changes to the legislation, ruling out any access to or use of private property without the owner's consent and calling for clearer wording in several provisions to remove ambiguity. The development comes a week after the prime minister formed the committee following strong criticism from both government allies and opposition lawmakers, who demanded thorough scrutiny of the bill and amendments to its contentious clauses. According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Law and Justice on Wednesday, the committee reviewing the bill's Right of Way provisions submitted its interim report after conducting a detailed review of the proposed amendments and the existing legal framework governing Right of Way. Read More: PM forms committee to review contested telecom bill; directs proposals submission on priority The committee concluded that the primary objective of the legislation was to improve digital connectivity across the country while safeguarding citizens' rights, but noted that several provisions required further clarification. “Certain provisions required further clarification to remove any ambiguity,” the statement said. وزیراعظم کی قائم کردہ کمیٹی نے پاکستان ٹیلی کمیونیکیشن ری آرگنائزیشن ترمیمی بل 2026 میں رائٹ آف وے شقوں سے متعلق رپورٹ پیش کر دی اسلام آباد، 24 جون 2026 - وزارتِ قانون و انصاف نے کہا ہے کہ وزیراعظم اسلامی جمہوریہ پاکستان کی جانب سے پاکستان ٹیلی کمیونیکیشن ری آرگنائزیشن ترمیمی بل… — Hasnaat Malik (@HasnaatMalik) June 24, 2026 Addressing concerns relating to private property, the report stated that owner consent and a mutually agreed arrangement would remain a fundamental requirement in all such matters. “No action involving access to or use of the land, building, property, or assets of a private individual or private legal entity would be taken without the owner's consent and a mutual agreement,” it added. The committee recommended that the law clearly specify its applicability to land, buildings, properties, and assets owned, managed, or controlled by public institutions as well as federal, provincial, and local governments. It also proposed explicitly extending the framework to regulated private housing schemes, cooperative housing societies, and similar entities. The report further recommended that definitions relating to private land, private property, private individuals, companies, cooperative societies, and other forms of joint ownership be clearly incorporated into the legislation to avoid misunderstandings. Also Read: PPP will not pass disputed telecom bill containing 'draconian clauses': Sherry Rehman According to the press release, a clear distinction would be maintained between telecommunications infrastructure located above and below ground, right-of-way arrangements and related equipment, with separate procedures prescribed for each category. The committee also proposed a mechanism for resolving disputes involving licensed operators and public institutions, housing schemes, cooperative housing societies or similar entities. Under the proposal, such disputes would be referred to the appropriate government, which would be required to decide the matter within 45 days in accordance with the law. It further recommended that clear principles be established to guide the relevant government in assessing the necessity and appropriateness of any proposal, its public interest implications, and the compensation payable. The report said any person affected by a decision of the relevant government should have the right to appeal before the Telecommunications Appellate Tribunal established under Section 7A of the Pakistan Telecommunication (Reorganisation) Act, 1996, with the tribunal's decision being final. The committee also recommended a review of the overriding clause to ensure consistency between the language and objectives of the law and to remove any ambiguity regarding citizens' rights. In addition, it proposed revisiting the penalty prescribed under Section 27B(1) and aligning it with the broader objectives, structure, and provisions of the legislation. According to the Ministry of Law and Justice, the committee had reached consensus on the broad principles, policy objectives, and necessary amendments. A draft of the proposed changes to the Pakistan Telecommunication Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, would be finalised within one week and submitted for further consideration and directions. The ministry said the government remained committed to promoting the growth of the telecommunications and information technology sectors while ensuring full protection of citizens' constitutional and legal rights. It stressed that there would be no compromise on the principles of private property rights, owner consent, the right to object, legal safeguards, and compensation. The ministry added that the objective of the Right of Way reforms was to provide the public with better, more reliable, and faster internet services, not to undermine any citizen's right to property. The bill, which seeks changes to a 1996 Act and was tabled by IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja, was approved by the National Assembly on June 11 by a majority vote. Later, it was deferred by the Senate Standing Committee on IT and Telecommunication, where it was referred on June 15. Questions over the motives behind the bill had grown stronger, particularly because of the government's push to have it approved by both houses of parliament. Following reservations raised by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) over the bill, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), a key ally of the government, also withheld its support, with Senator Sherry Rehman categorically stating that her party would not allow any legislation related to the information technology sector, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority or right of way to pass through the Senate unless it was thoroughly scrutinised and amended by the relevant standing committee. The prime minister later constituted a committee to review the bill and tasked it with addressing concerns raised over some of its provisions. The committee was mandated to examine the Right of Way framework under Sections 2(qb), 2(ma), 27A, and 27B of the Pakistan Telecommunication Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2026. The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication had also clarified that the proposed Right of Way Bill 2026 would not allow the forcible acquisition of private land or unauthorised entry into citizens' private properties. According to the ministry, the property owners would retain the full right to raise objections, negotiate terms, and demand appropriate compensation before any work is carried out on their land.
