YORK
T Pakistan has told the UN Security Council that Israel s recent air strikes across Syria were in flagrant violations of international law, and also undermined the country’s pursuit of political stabilization and national reconciliation “We are witnessing a deeply troubling pattern: continued unprovoked Israeli military aggression; repeated violations of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement; an illegal military presence in the Area of Separation; and open declarations of indefinite occupation, ” Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad permanent representative of Pakistan to the UN told the 15-member Council during a briefing on the situation in Syria Voicing alarm at the escalating attacks on multiple locations in Syria including civilian infrastructure and urban centers he said those military actions have caused civilian casualties and posed a grave threat to regional and international peace and security “The Security Council cannot allow illegal military actions to set dangerous precedents

ise in agriculture and mining PM Shehbaz expressed Pakistan s interest in leveraging Belarusian knowledge to improve agricultural yields and explore joint ventures in the mining sector He emphasized that Pakistan s vast mineral deposits could make both countries strong partners in this area President Lukashenko, in turn, reiterated Belarus commitment to deepening its relationship with Pakistan emphasizing the strategic importance of expanding collaboration in trade agriculture industry and technology He expressed confidence that PM Shehbaz s visit would pave the way for a long-term,
mutually beneficial partnership Following the talks Pakistan and Belarus signed several agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoUs) to strengthen cooperation in defense commerce environmental protection and other sectors These included a Readmission Agreement cooperation agreements between the interior ministries, and a military-technical cooperation roadmap for 2025-2027 The agreements aim to further deepen the ties between the two nations opening new avenues for collaboration across various industries and regions

Punjab govt to introduce distric t master plans to curb unplanned growth of housing societies
The Punjab government has introduced a bill aimed at drafting master plans for each district in the province to regulate the rapid and unplanned growth of housing societies The News reported The Punjab Spatial Planning Authority Bill 2025, tabled on March 7, seeks to create a central authority responsible for approving land-use policies across the province Under the proposed law the newly formed
Authority would oversee land-use and urban planning in all 41 districts with an 18-member team led by the Punjab Chief Minister The bill also proposes creating District Spatial Planning Agencies, each headed by the Deputy Commissioner (DC), to recommend land-use plans at the local level These agencies would be tasked with implementing the plans in their respective districts The bill aims to address issues arising from the unchecked conversion of agricultural land into urban sprawl, which has significantly contributed to air pollution and land misuse According to government data over 225 000 acres of farmland have already been consumed by private housing schemes While the government argues that the bill is essential to restore order and prevent further urban expansion, critics including lawmakers and urban planning experts believe that the bill undermines the role of local governments Under the Punjab Local Government Act 2019, land-use planning is a responsibility of elected local bodies However, since the expiration of the last
local government term in December 2021 elections have not been held Ahmed Iqbal Chaudhry a member of the provincial assembly from the PMLN, expressed concerns that the bill represents a top-down approach, which contradicts the party’s commitment to empowering local governments as outlined in its 2024 election manifesto Critics argue that planning decisions should be made by local experts rather than bureaucrats, who may not be equipped to address the unique needs of each district

COMMENT
Ulema on Palestine
If the state will not ac t, Muslims will
THE declaration by the National Palestine Conference that made jihad compulsory on all Muslims for Plestine Combined with the condemnation by Wifaqul Madaris chief and prominent religious scholar
Mufti Taqi Usmani of the failure of Muslim countries to act against Israel, brings into focus some of the contradictions Muslims have been living with for a long time He was flying in the face of the nrrtive that Islam is a religion of peace, and frowns upon violence Not really Islam, s Mufti Usmani said, forbids violence and damage to people or property if it is carried out randomly The state is supposed to sanction it Freelance jihad is ruled out
The method he stressed the most was boycotting entities which supported Israel That includes breaking off diplomatic relations with countries recognizing Israel Does that include Israel's greatest supporter the USA? What price Egypt or Turkey?
Then there is the issue of a boycott What is the criterion to be followed What is the degree of support for Israel? The company donating to Israel donating to something like the American-Israeli Political Action Committee, having Zionist CEOS or Jewish CEOs? Or having branches in Israel? What exactly is nonviolent protest supposed to achieve? A renewal of the ceasefire? The ceasefire has broken down already, and there is no guarantee that it will not again, especially since it is gainst the interest of the current Israeli government Not of Israel or Jews or Zionists but specifically off the Netanyahu government, which will collapse otherwise The Conference has raised many of the questions that have plagued Muslims ever since the post-World-War-II wave of decolonisation left Muslim-majority states as ex-colonies trying to establish themselves as nation-states
The jihad call is not just theologically unavoidable, but there are many other requisites not addressed Who is supposed to organize the Muslims of separate states and how is this supposed to be conducted? It seems the Conference made a formal call without really meaning it, which is of not much help to the Palestinians who are homeless and hungry and beleaguered if at all alive The problem may be that the Conference may have been prompted by the discomfort that is being felt by the ordinary Muslims of Pakistan at the events in Gaza As Mufti Usmani pointed out there is an intrinsic relationship between the Palestinian and Kashmir causes, which was recognized by the Qusid-e-Azam himself Indeed, Pakistan and Palestine are bound to each other not least because of the pre-Partition visit by the Grand Mufti of Palestine to what was then the Indian Subcontinent

TMHE limits of the hard state are being tested exposed not just by insurgencies and terror threats but by the state s own inability to rise above a rigid one-dimensional response to complex, deeply rooted national crises One cannot ignore the daily discourse surrounding law and order, particularly the escalating insurgencies in Balochistan and the unbridled militancy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa since the return to power of the Afghan Taliban in 2021
These are not isolated disturbances; they are loud echoes of past policy blunders Yet amidst all the clamour, we continue to circle around the same outdated prescriptions: more force, tighter controls, enhanced surveillance reflexes of a hard state machinery And still unrest festers the public’s trust erodes and the threats metastasize What is missing is not the will to exert control but the wisdom to govern competently The term hard state is often romanticized in policy discussions, projected as a powerful antidote to anarchy and external aggression It suggests an image of a state that does not tolerate dissent, that uses all its might to secure its borders and stamp out threats But when a state only flexes its muscles without simultaneously using its brain it begins to resemble a bodybuilder with a broken compass strong, but lost Pakistan is not lacking in security apparatus Our forces are valiant, our intelligence capacity is formidable and our history is replete with sacrifices made in the name of sovereignty Yet we continue to fight
to establish superior connectivity between Balochistan s prime city and Pakistan s primary oceanic port According to the National Highway Authority these projects will offer 50 percwent faster journey times and lead to lower business logistical costs The development brings significant economic potential to the city of Quetta The Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) reported in their research that infrastructure investments boost the country's economic development rate Intensified road infrastructure combined with enhanced air travel facilities induce investors to bring money into transportation and hospitality services as well as retail ventures Local businesses will gain advantages from both increased supply of goods and services and tourist traffic The resources will create increasing job prospects Direct and indirect jobs being generated by the construction sector have become one of the primary achievements of the Balochistan Board of Investment and Trade (BBoIT) during the last five years These promising prospects still face multiple obstacles Development projects on a large scale in Balochistan historically failed to offer their benefits directly to the people who live there The Pakistan Bureau of Statistics data reveals that Balochistan stands as the province with the highest poverty rate after showing that 40 percent of its people live in poverty Foreign and national investors can experience profits, yet the local population continues to face economic challenges Adequate policy implementation becomes crucial since improper policies could let project benefits accumulate with a select few while economic gaps expand A comprehensive strategic policy that includes all stakeholders must be developed to achieve maximum benefits from these develop-
Effective management of the current infrastructure expansion across Balochistan alongside Gwadar and Quetta development presents opportunities for the province to become a prominent player in regional commerce Economic progress leads to
only through sustainable and inclusive development practices which
equality for all The success of
Balochistan infrastructure projects relies on policymakers developing connected local business programmes together with employment targets and environmental regulatory implementation Through proper implementation Quetta can become a prosperous economic hub from which development enriches all members of the community
the same battles internally Why? Because the hardstate approach has ignored the structural fault lines that keep reopening disenfranchisement, economic inequality, weak institutions, and policy paralysis This is where the idea of a competent state becomes not just a theoretical proposition but an urgent necessity A competent state does not rule by fear or merely react to crises it prevents them through foresight, institutional strength, and inclusive governance One former diplomat rightly pointed out that real strength lies not in the volume of force a state can exert but in its capacity to serve, deliver and inspire When the writ of the state is associated not with intimidation but with justice and service delivery legitimacy deepens Legitimacy after all is the foundation upon which lasting peace and stability are built There are countless examples across the world where nations transitioned from being hard states to competent ones reaping enormous dividends Consider post-apartheid South Africa It emerged from decades of authoritarian suppression yet the real success was not just the dismantling of apartheid but the transition into a constitutional democracy that focused on healing, reconciliation, and institutionbuilding The security challenges did not vanish overnight, but the government prioritized social programmes truth commissions and inclusion as tools of governance not just guns and police Likewise Indonesia once marred by autocracy and military repression embraced reforms after Suharto s fall in 1998 It strengthened local governments, built electoral transparency, and reformed the judiciary, making it one of Southeast Asia’s most promising democracies today Even closer to home Bangladesh offers an in-
ments across Quetta as well as Balochistan Local business operations need to become the top priority in government policies The State Bank of Pakistan reveals that SMEs in Balochistan obtain formal financing at only 5 percemt while Punjab s comparable figure reaches 17 percent Local entrepreneurs can use emerging economic opportunities through enhanced credit accessibility and educational assistance and logistical resources
All infrastructure development projects need to implement binding provisions for hiring local workers CPEC projects across different provinces should implement workforce participation rules that require local labour participation at a rate of 30 percent Organizations should extend their skill development programmes Each year the Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA) Balochistan provides technical training to 10,000 individuals but this number needs to rise to fulfill the increasing requirement for a competent labour force in new industries
Economic expansion should extend its advantages beyond Quetta along with other urban locations Rural areas that usually miss out on large-scale development plans need to obtain improved transportation and trade possibilities The government should create rural connectivity programmes and establish industrial zones in smaller towns in order to spread economic growth uniformly across the region Effective management of the current infrastructure expansion across Balochistan alongside Gwadar and Quetta development presents opportunities for the province to become a prominent player in regional commerce Economic progress leads to success only through sustainable and inclusive development practices which maintain equality for all The success of current Balochistan infrastructure projects relies on policymakers developing connected local business programmes together with employment targets and environmental regulatory implementation Through proper implementation Quetta can become a prosperous economic hub from which development enriches all members of the community

CHINA RAISES ADDITIONAL TARIFFS TO 125% ON IMPORTED US PRODUCTS
to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Friday setting the stage for a diplomatic showdown this weekend in Oman Longtime adversaries Iran and the US are set to hold talks on Saturday in Muscat aimed at reaching a deal on Tehran s nuclear programme
US President Donald Trump last month sent a letter to Khamenei urging negotiations and warning of possible military action if Iran refuses Far from putting up a show and merely talking in front of the cameras Tehran is seeking a real and fair agreement, important and implementable proposals are ready,” Khamenei adviser Ali Shamkhani said in a post on X
He confirmed that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was heading to Oman with full authority for indirect negotiations with America , adding that if Washington showed goodwill, the path forward would be “clear and smooth” In the lead-up to the talks the
two sides have engaged in a war of words, with Trump reiterating his warning that military action was “absolutely” possible if talks failed Iran responded by saying it could expel UN nuclear inspectors prompting another US warning that such action would be an escalation Iran has consistently denied seeking to acquire nuclear weapons
On Friday Iran foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Iran was giving diplomacy a genuine chance in good faith and full vigilance America should appreciate this decision, which was made despite their hostile rhetoric,” he said on X
The talks were first announced by Trump during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu s visit to Washington While he said the talks would be high-level and direct , Iran has insisted they would be “indirect”
It later emerged that Araghchi and US special envoy Steve Witkoff were due to lead the talks in Oman which has in the past played a mediating role on the Iran
nuclear file
Witkoff visited Russia today for talks on Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin an ally of Iran
Expert-level consultations between Russia, China and Iran on nuclear issues took place in Moscow on Tuesday according to the Russian foreign ministry
Ahead of the Oman talks the US imposed additional sanctions on the Islamic republic targeting its oil network and nuclear programme Iran’s nuclear agency chief Mohammad Eslami downplayed the effect of the US-imposed sanctions saying: They applied maximum pressure with various sanctions but they were unable to prevent the country from progressing
“They still think that they can stop this nation and country with threats and intimidation psychological operations or stupid actions he added Iran has come into the spotlight since Trump returned to office in January, and its regional allies have in recent months suffered major setbacks
Among them are Hamas and Hezbollah in Lebanon hit by staggering losses in conflicts with Israel sparked by the October 7, 2023 attack
Since the start of Israel’s offence on Gaza, Iran and Israel have engaged in direct attacks for the first time in history
