Pakistan conspiring demographic change in PoJK and Gilgit-Baltistan: Report

In the Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) and Gilgit Baltistan, the population of minority Shia population is declining rapidly, clearly highlighting Pakistan’s attempts to change the demographics through the targeted genocides of minorities, and settling down of Punjabi elites and Army men in the region.Pakistan has already been successful to cleanse the Sikh population from PoJK and now, Chinese workers and army men are settling down in these areas in the guise of working for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).A report titled “Human Lives Matter: A Comparative Study and Analysis of Human Development and Human Rights in J&K and PoJK/G-B” by Law and Society Alliance, shows the status of human development and human rights conditions in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and Pa

Five big lies of Pakistan exposed: Indian Mission at UN

Exposing Pakistan for its lies, India lashed out at the Imran Khan led government at UN saying that Pakistan has put out a false statement claiming that their envoy Munir Akram spoke at the United Nations Security Council while the session was not open to non-members.“We have seen a statement put out by the Pakistan Mission to the UN, claiming that these remarks were made by the Permanent Representative of Pakistan at the UN Security Council.

Indian agencies call out Pakistan’s bluff on Dawood, to take up matter in FATF meet

Pakistan’s claims on most-wanted Dawood Ibrahim and 26/11-accused Zakir-ur-Rehman Lakhvi have been called out by Indian intelligence agencies.India now has evidence that Pakistan never mentioned the facts in any official document till August 18, 2020. Agencies state that the 2020 Statutory Regulatory Order (SRO) is the first time Dawood's details have been published by Pakistan, sources said.An examination of the technical back-end of the 2015 and 2019 SROs shows that it was uploaded later and back-dated."The move puts Pakistan in the dock as the sovereign country is lying. The evidence will be put forth by India in the upcoming FATF (Financial Action Task Force) meet in September," sources said.If what Pakistan claims as per the information provided previously was true, then it would have

What is China’s military aspiration for Gwadar?

For a long time, Pakistan’s Gwadar port has long been touted as the site for a Chinese base suitable for People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) operations, however, it is not inevitable that Gwadar will become a PLAN base.The Chinese Communist Party pursues a “strategic strongpoint” concept whereby strategically sited foreign ports containing terminals and commercial zones operated by Chinese firms can be used by its military.These “strongpoints” offer the potential for China to form a network of supply, logistics and intelligence hubs, and there is a nascent network along the perimeter of the Indian Ocean.Gwadar is important to Beijing for two reasons. First is establishing direct transport links to the Indian Ocean via the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). For this reason, China doe

Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman, president of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F), Right-wing Pakistani politician ridiculed Imran Khan-led government for its ineffective policies regarding Kashmir.Maulana lambasted Prime Minister Imran Khan as he failed to counter India on Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 last year, while addressing his supporters in Peshawar recently."India revoked Kashmir's special status and tactically announced the region as its integral part and we were pushed downwards. What were we thinking yesterday and what are we thinking today? Yesterday, we were thinking how to take Srinagar, today we are thinking as to how to save Muzaffarabad", said Maulana.On August 5, 2019, India revoked the special status of Kashmir and fully integrated Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of the count...

Is Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army on the rise again?

The rise of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), which operates on the Bangladesh-Burma border is seen by its observers as a reflection of its terrorist activities as it tries to radicalize the people in the Rohingya camps in Bangladesh.According to a report in German media, the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar area are experiencing an increase in drug and other criminal activities, with the influx of outside groups.There are media reports that extremist groups are trying to take over the camps.They had earlier massacred about 99 Hindu women, men, and children as well as carried out unlawful killings and abductions of Hindu villagers in August 2017, Amnesty International revealed after conducting a detailed investigation inside Myanmar’s Rakhine State.In January, there were repo

Gilgit-Baltistan will grow if it physically integrates with Ladakh: Senge Sering

The region under Pakistani occupation will grow significantly if it gets integrated with Union Territory of Ladakh, according to a political activist from Gilgit Baltistan, Senge H. Sering.“We firmly believe that we were the part of Jammu and Kashmir. In 1947, Maharaja (Hari Singh) was our legal heir, the whole region (of Jammu & Kashmir) belonged to him and he acceded to India following a legal path and it was not some kind of abrupt or arbitrary decision as it was all done as per the British law”, said Senge, director of the Washington-based Institute of Gilgit Baltistan Studies.“Till August 5 (2019), we were an integral part of Jammu & Kashmir but after the amendment was done in Article 370 and the state was bifurcated into two union territories, so, now we are the part of Ladak

What made ‘Pakistan’s Independence Day’ the most controversial day for its people

Certain nationalist groups in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Gilgit Baltistan have announced that they will not celebrate Pakistan’s Independence Day on August 14. Instead, they will be observing a Black Day.Since righteous voices are usually met with brutal repression and it is too risky to have such observance in Pakistan, it has been decided that the discontent be demonstrated through a series of car rallies across Europe, America and Canada highlighting forced disappearance, extrajudicial killings and ongoing persecution and manhunt of nationalists and political as well as human right activists in Pakistan.The decision to mark August 14 as a Black Day comes as a shock to many as it is in stark contrast to the perceived mindset of people who had previously claimed to be bound toget

Pakistan’s ideological insecurity

Pakistan is suffering from ideological insecurities, and the developments over the past few weeks are proof enough. It all began when Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan stated in the National Assembly that Osama bin Laden was a martyr. Later, a ruling party legislator accused Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) leader Khawaja Asif of blasphemy for asserting that all religions were equal.Then, the minority Hindu, Sikh and Ahmadi communities were targeted. In July, the construction of the first Hindu temple in Islamabad, possibly the first temple in Pakistan since 1947, had to be halted when several clerics and even politicians objected to its construction with Muslim taxes in an ‘Islamic Republic’.An elderly Ahmadi man, Tahir Ahmed Naseem, was shot during the hearing of a blasphemy case aga
