‘Dream of toppling KP govt will never come true'
He emphasised that a genuinely representative government, established on the basis of Form-45, is in place in KP. It is not a fabricated government formed through Form-47 that can be easily dismantled.
Dr Saif asserted that under the leadership of the chief minister, all members of the assembly are united and have full confidence in him.
Every MPA in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa stands as a soldier of Imran Khan, and Ali Amin Gandapur enjoys the complete trust of Imran Khan.
He highlighted that the public has repeatedly rejected opposition parties in the past three general elections. Now, these parties are attempting to fulfill their ambitions through conspiracies rather than through public support.
He further stated that apart from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), all other political parties in KP have been politically wiped out.
Dr Saif said that those involved in conspiracies are living in a delusion. Even if the opposition has secured a few seats as spoils, their aspirations will remain unfulfilled. The conspirators will face disappointment, as there is no possibility of the government being overthrown. All members are united under the chief minister's leadership.
He advised opposition parties to refrain from indulging in grand illusions, as such dreams will only result in disappointment. KP remains a stronghold of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, and the public has shown unwavering trust in Imran Khan. This trust will not be compromised under any circumstances.
Dr Saif concluded that the opposition parties will continue to occupy the opposition benches, and their dream of forming a government will never be realised.

CTD kills five terrorists, foils major attack in Taunsa Sharif
In a major counter-terrorism breakthrough, the Punjab Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Saturday killed five suspected terrorists in Taunsa Sharif during an intelligence-based operation, foiling what officials described as a 'major terror attack.' According to a CTD press release, the operation was launched near the Tri-Border Village after credible intelligence reports indicated the presence of heavily armed militants in the area. The CTD said its team came under fire while attempting to apprehend the suspects, prompting a retaliatory exchange that lasted several hours. Five terrorists were killed in the shootout, while at least five others managed to flee after sustaining injuries and are believed to have taken shelter in nearby forested areas, the statement said. 30 Indian-sponsored terrorists killed in North Waziristan border infiltration attempt: ISPR The department said swift and professional action by its teams had prevented a potentially catastrophic incident. Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi lauded the CTD and Punjab Police for the successful operation, saying the action had eliminated militants linked to 'Fitna-e-Hindustan.' 'Once again, Punjab Police and CTD have sent five terrorists of Fitna-e-Hindustan to hell through a successful operation,' Naqvi said in a statement, commending the professionalism and courage of the security forces. India has intensified 'terrorism campaign' inside Pakistan through proxies, says PM Shehbaz 'Our security forces will not allow any safe haven for the enemies of peace,' he added, reaffirming the government's resolve to pursue extremist elements wherever they may be hiding. Naqvi said the Punjab Police and CTD had consistently foiled the plans of extremist groups and proven their ability to take decisive action against terror threats.

Sindh CM remembers July 5 as 'darkest day' in Pakistan's democratic history
Listen to article Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that July 5, 1977 marks the darkest chapter in Pakistan's democratic journey. On this day, a military regime ousted the elected government of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, trampling over democratic values and public mandate. He said the removal of Bhutto was not just a political move but a direct attack on democratic principles and the people's will. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, he added, gave political awareness to the nation, which dictatorships tried to suppress through force. مجھ کو مارا گیا، مجھ کو پیٹا گیا، مجھ کو سڑکوں پر جبرا" گھسیٹا گیا، کیا خطا تھی میری، کب یہ پوچھا گیا، مجھ کو باغی نصیبوں میں لکھا گیا، ہاں ! میں باغی ہوں ایسے منشور کا ۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ کالے دستور کا ۔۔!! #5thJulyBlackDay — PPP (@MediaCellPPP) July 5, 2025 Shah noted that the Pakistan People's Party has always resisted authoritarianism with courage and commitment. He said the events of July 5 remind us to continue the struggle for democracy, constitutional supremacy, and protection of public rights. He stressed the importance of remaining vigilant, as threats to democracy and national stability still persist. Shah concluded by paying tribute to Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto for his enduring contributions and sacrifices. On July 5, 1977, military dictator General Zia-ul-Haq overthrew the elected democratic government of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, imposed martial law, and suspended Pakistan's first consensual constitution. Read More: Black Day for PPP today Earlier in March, President Asif Ali Zardari conferred Pakistan's highest civil award on the late former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, in recognition of his excellence, contributions, and remarkable achievements across various fields. In a prestigious ceremony held at Aiwan-e-Sadr, President Zardari awarded the Nishan-e-Pakistan—the nation's highest civilian honour—to the late prime minister and founder of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). His daughter, Sanam Bhutto, received the award on his behalf, marking a significant moment in the country's history. Historically, on March 6, in its opinion on a presidential reference filed by President Zardari, the Supreme Court admitted that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was not given the right to a fair trial—almost 44 years after the founding chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) was hanged in a murder case. Also Read: Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto honoured with Nishan-e-Pakistan posthumously A nine-member larger bench of the apex court, led by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, announced its opinion. The announcement was also broadcast live on the YouTube channel of the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Isa read out the court's reserved written order, stating that Bhutto's trial in the Lahore High Court (LHC) and subsequently in the Supreme Court was not conducted in accordance with the fundamental rights and fair trial guarantees provided by the Constitution. The larger bench included Justice Sardar Tariq Masood, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah, Justice Yahya Afridi, Justice Aminuddin Khan, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi, and Justice Musarrat Hilali. 'The good thing is that the opinion on the presidential reference is unanimous,' said Chief Justice Isa before delivering the verdict. 'We cannot move forward without correcting ourselves—until we acknowledge the mistakes of the past,' he added.

The Bajaur attack
EDITORIAL: The IED blast in Bajaur on Wednesday, which claimed the life of Assistant Commissioner Fawad Ali and four others, is yet another tragic reminder of the relentless and ever-present threat that terrorism poses to Pakistan. The so-called Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility, but this attack is only one part of a brazen strategy of hybrid warfare being waged against Pakistan — a strategy directed by India as part of the Modi government's declared doctrine of 'offensive defence.' India's involvement in destabilising Pakistan, of course, is not confined to just the TTP. It has consistently backed militant groups, including the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), and other proxies. By doing so, it has pursued a calculated strategy of keeping Pakistan under constant pressure through the export of terror via non-state actors. Only a few months ago, the BLA publicly assured India that should it choose to confront Pakistan, the group and its affiliates would be ready to engage from the western border, positioning itself as New Delhi's 'practical and military arm.' This covert campaign to destabilise Pakistan is not limited to proxy warfare. India's actions have increasingly extended beyond its borders, targeting individuals for extrajudicial killings. In June 2023, Indian agents assassinated prominent Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Vancouver, sparking a massive political uproar. Canada officially accused Indian diplomats of being complicit in 'criminal' activities on Canadian soil. This was followed by the foiling of another Indian plot in New York, aimed at killing another Sikh leader. The list of India's extraterritorial operations extends to the assassination of 20 Kashmiri and Sikh dissidents inside Pakistan. There is irrefutable evidence linking India to these and various other acts of terror — from Bajaur to Balochistan, and from Vancouver to New York. Yet, India continues to present itself as a victim of terrorism while portraying Pakistan as the perpetrator. Since the April 22 Pahalgam massacre in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, India has been trying to paint that picture of Pakistan. However, its narrative has faced significant setbacks. At the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) defence ministers' meeting in China, member states unanimously refused to include the Pahalgam incident in the joint communiqué and instead highlighted terrorism in Balochistan. Similarly, during the Quad Foreign Ministers' meeting in Washington, the US State Department's joint statement refrained from naming Pakistan or attributing blame to it for the Pahalgam attack. Moving forward, as suggested by PPP leader and former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari at a recent conference in Islamabad, Pakistan and India need to 'forge a historic, phenomenal partnership' to jointly combat terrorism. This partnership, he emphasised, should not be shaped by adversarial rivalry, but by a shared moral and civilisational obligation to save a billion souls from the plague of extremism. Unfortunately, however, as long as the ultra-Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi remains at the helm, it is highly unlikely that New Delhi will change its course or abandon its destructive policies.
