India's disinformation campaign on CPEC and AJK
George Wilhelm once remarked, 'The most important lesson of history is that nobody has ever learned a lesson from history." This observation seems particularly relevant today, as Indian leadership appears to be repeating past mistakes—this time by spreading misleading narratives about Pakistan and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). In the latest wave of disinformation, Indian media has alleged that Pakistan is diverting Azad Jammu and Kashmir's (AJK) development budget to finance Chinese-led CPEC projects. These claims are not only baseless but also reflect a familiar pattern of state-backed media campaigns that have previously resulted in international embarrassment for India. During a recent escalation in India-Pakistan tensions, several reputable global outlets—including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Reuters, TRT, Al Jazeera, and the BBC—exposed fabricated stories promoted by Indian media. According to The Washington Post, numerous Indian news channels, seemingly influenced by the ruling BJP government, broadcast unverified and false reports, including fictitious military victories and staged unrest. These actions blurred the line between journalism and propaganda, misleading audiences both domestically and internationally. Channels such as Zee News, NDTV, Aaj Tak, and Times Now even misrepresented video footage from other conflict zones—such as Gaza and Sudan—as scenes from Pakistan. Such manipulated visuals not only undermined journalistic integrity but also severely damaged India's credibility. A senior Indian security official later admitted, 'False information was a strategy, but it backfired on our own people.' This rare confession underscored the risks associated with misinformation campaigns, particularly in a region as sensitive as South Asia. India's recent claims regarding CPEC funding in AJK follow this same pattern of distortion. Contrary to these assertions, projects under the CPEC framework are financed through a combination of Chinese investments, concessional loans, and allocations from Pakistan's federal Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP). These funds are entirely separate from AJK's regional development budget and are designated for specific infrastructure goals. It is especially ironic for India to question development spending in AJK, given its own policies in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). Since the revocation of Article 370 in 2019, local governance in IIOJK has been weakened, with development budgets centrally controlled and often diverted to security and militarization rather than public welfare. Reports of land dispossession, high unemployment, digital blackouts, and human rights violations further expose the gap between India's narrative of "normalcy" and the actual conditions in the region. In contrast, CPEC-related projects in AJK—such as the Kohala Hydropower Project and improvements in road infrastructure—are designed to bring long-term socioeconomic benefits. These initiatives, developed in consultation with local authorities, promote job creation, energy generation, and regional connectivity, aligning with Pakistan's broader goals for inclusive development. India's disinformation efforts must also be seen within the wider context of its opposition to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and attempts to destabilize regional cooperation that could bolster Pakistan's economic strength. The aim appears to be clear: to sow discord among local communities and undermine confidence in Pakistan-China collaboration. Nevertheless, Pakistan's commitment to AJK's development remains unwavering. Budgetary adjustments occur due to shifting national priorities, emergencies, or unforeseen challenges—not as part of any scheme to divert funds for foreign-backed projects. Over the years, AJK has witnessed real progress in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and energy—achievements made possible through consistent investment and federal support. India's recent allegations are factually unfounded and appear to be an effort to deflect attention from its internal challenges in Kashmir, as well as its discomfort over CPEC's growing success. For the people of AJK, this initiative represents not a threat but a promising path toward prosperity. Ultimately, India's attempts to spread economic misinformation are unlikely to withstand the reality of on-the-ground progress and local support for CPEC.

The DG NAB Lahore formally handed over first installment of the recovered amount to Additional Secretary Finance, Punjab Khalid Mehmood in NAB office, Lahore. According to the details, NAB Lahore launched Inquiry proceedings in September 2024 pertaining to the issuance of bogus cheques worth Rs 5 billion (approx.) by the Officers and staff of the Public Health Engineering and District Accounts Office, Sheikhupura. During the inquiry proceedings, some of the accused persons confessed to their crimes and filed Plea Bargain (PB) requests of Rs2 billion, which were duly approved by the Accountability Court, Lahore. Following court approval, the Bureau succeeded to ensure recovery within a remarkably short period and the initial tranche of the recovered amount has been submitted into the national treasury. On the occasion, DG NAB Lahore commended the exceptional performance of the investigation team, noting that the recovery of looted public funds in such a short time reflects team's commitment and competence. He further stated that investigations are actively underway against other accused persons involved in alleged embezzlement of public funds. Highlighting Chairman NAB's vision, DG Ghulam Safdar Shah emphasized that providing immediate relief to common citizens is NAB's top priority, however, all possible measures are being taken towards this end. He added that in order to recover and distribute the looted amounts to the rightful victims, the process of auctioning-off seized properties of the accused persons has been initiated. In this regard, a public auction of valuable confiscated properties was held at Deputy Commissioner Office, Lahore. However, the auction of seized assets will continue as per given schedule in other districts, as well. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

Weekly Cotton Review: Mixed trend persists on improved trading
KARACHI: The cotton market witnessed a mixed trend. Trading activities showed improvement. The spot rate recorded a decline of Rs 200 per maund. In the recent budget, the government has fulfilled the long-standing demand of APTMA by discontinuing the Export Facilitation Scheme (EFS) on imported cotton, yarn, and fabric. This move has provided a level playing field for the local industry to compete internationally, earning appreciation from industrial circles. Recent rains in Sindh and Punjab have led to the partial closure of ginning factories, affecting production activities. However, experts suggest that while the rainfall will benefit the cotton crop, standing water in the fields could pose a risk of damage. Earlier, the crop had already suffered due to extreme heat, prompting farmers to remain vigilant about weather fluctuations. On another front, discussions were held between the leadership of China and APTMA to promote bilateral trade. Both sides emphasized maximizing benefits from the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) to further strengthen trade relations between the two countries. Joint measures in this regard are currently under consideration. Sohail Talat, Chairman of the Pakistan Business Forum (PBF) and the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), has demanded the revival of the cotton industry in South Punjab. He declared that the struggle to eliminate taxes on cotton would continue until the government meets their demands. Ahsan-ul-Haq, Chairman of the Ginners Forum, stated that Pakistan's agriculture sector, particularly cotton crops, is facing severe damage due to the inefficiencies of the Meteorological Department. He emphasized the need for better weather forecasting and policy interventions to protect farmers' livelihoods. The Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association (PCGA) had demanded the removal of taxes on Khal and Banola, but the government has yet to take action. This delay has caused significant unrest among cotton growers, who are already struggling with financial and operational challenges. The local cotton market witnessed mixed trends in cotton prices over the past week. While prices in Sindh remained relatively weak, the Karachi Cotton Association's Spot Rate Committee reduced the spot rate by PKR 200 per maund, closing it at PKR 16,300 per maund. The supply of phutti (seed cotton) increased in both Sindh and Punjab, leading to the resumption of operations in several ginning factories. However, due to the distribution of phutti among a larger number of factories, many are operating only partially. The recent rains in Sindh and Punjab have discouraged ginners from purchasing large quantities of phutti, which is expected to disrupt the arrival of phutti and affect cotton quality. The government has discontinued the Export Facilitation Scheme (EFS) for cotton, yarn, and fabric in the budget and imposed an 18% sales tax on imported cotton, yarn, and fabric. This fulfills APTMA's long-standing demand for a level playing field, which is expected to benefit cotton farmers and encourage textile mills to purchase local cotton, thereby boosting domestic trade. According to a report, the sales tax on imported cotton, yarn, and fabric—as well as local cotton—may be reduced from 18% to 10%. However, confirmation of this news will only be possible after the official notification is issued. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association (PCGA) remains concerned as its demand for the removal of taxes on cotton by-products, such as cottonseed oil and cake, has not been met. The Pakistan Kissan Ittehad has also raised its concerns and urged the government to address PCGA's demands. Sohail Talat, Chairman of the Pakistan Businesses Forum (PBF) and FPCCI, emphasized that the struggle to eliminate taxes on cotton will continue until the demands are met. The rate of cotton in Sindh is in between Rs16,200 to Rs 16,500 per maund, while the rate of phutti is in between Rs 7,500 to Rs 8,200 per 40 kg. In Punjab, cotton prices stood at Rs 16,700 to Rs 16,800 per maund. The rate of Phutti is in between Rs 7,800 to Rs 8,400 per 40 kg. However, prices of Banola have declined. The Spot Rate Committee of the Karachi Cotton Association reduced the spot rate by Rs 200 per maund, closing it at Rs 16,300 per maund. Karachi Cotton Brokers Forum Chairman Naseem Usman said that international cotton prices showed a mixed trend, with New York cotton futures trading between 66.00 to 69.00 cents per pound. According to the USDA's weekly production and sales report, 27,300 bales were sold for the 2024-25 season. Pakistan remained the top buyer, purchasing 9,200 bales, followed by Vietnam with 7,700 bales, and Japan in third place with 2,500 bales. For the 2025-26 season, sales reached 64,700 bales. Vietnam led with 34,300 bales, followed by El Salvador with 15,300 bales, and Malaysia in third place with 8,000 bales. Chinese Consulate General and All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) leadership have resolved to upsurge bilateral trade, take maximum advantage of Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and to explore possibilities of joint ventures in textile industry. Zhao Shiren Consul General of China, Li Haoteng, Commercial Counsellor and Wang Yaqiang, Vice Consul visited APTMA office on Tuesday and discussed in detail prospects, ways and means to increase volume of trade and joint ventures in textile industry. Dr Gohar Ejaz, Patron-in-Chief APTMA and Chairman APTMA Kamran Arshad welcomed the Chinese Consul General at APTMA. They were accompanied by Syed Ali Ahsan, former Chairman APTMA, Zonal Management Committee members including Haroon Ellahi, Muhammad Ali, Faisal Jawed, Ahsan Shahid, Ismail Fareed, Habib Anwar, leading textile exporters, Secretary General APTMA Shahid Sattar and Secretary General North Mohammad Raza Baqir. Speaking on the occasion, Zhao Shiren said both China and Pakistan enjoy strong economic and cultural relations and China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is an example of this robust relationship between both the countries. He highly appreciated the role of APTMA in general and of Dr Gohar Ejaz in particular in expansion of bilateral economic relations. He enumerated highly plausible services rendered by Dr Gohar Ejaz in cementing relation between China and Pakistan not only as Commerce Minister but also in his private capacity. He also spoke volume about community and welfare services being performed by Gohar Ejaz Foundation for poverty alleviation, medical services, educational and research uplift and industrialization of the country. Consul General highlighted expansion of bilateral trade since the signing of China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 2006 and resolved to further uplift the said volume by taking maximum benefits from FTA. He noted that balance of trade is presently in favour of China and assured of his help to not only expand trade volume but also to bridge the gap in balance of trade. He informed that textile goods falling in more than 800 HS tariff lines of customs chapters 50 to 63 enjoy duty free status under FTA on import into China from Pakistan. He emphasised Pakistani textile industry to avail duty free regime widely liberalized for Pakistani textile products since implementation of Phase II of FTA in 2020. According to reports, cotton has been cultivated on 3.128 million acres in Punjab and 1.005 million acres in Sindh. The expected yield per acre is estimated at 170 kg. Punjab is projected to produce 4.898 million bales, while Sindh is expected to yield 2.519 million bales. The total anticipated cotton production for both provinces stands at 7.417 million bales.
