Pak govt slams PTI protest, calls it an attempt to destabilise country

Islamabad [Pakistan], July 14 (ANI): The Pakistan government on Monday criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party's recent protest movement, led by former Prime Minister Imran Khan's supporters, calling it an attempt to destabilise the country, Geo News reported. PTI's 'Free Imran Khan' movement aims to secure Khan's release from jail, where he has been held since August 2023 on multiple charges. The remarks comes at a time when Pakistan is recovering from internal and external pressures, including recent setbacks against India during the cross-border tensions. Pakistan PM's Adviser Rana Sanaullah claims PTI is seeking help from the establishment to return to power, rather than engaging in political dialogue. 'From their media talk, it is clear that they only want to disturb the stability that was achieved after recent India-Pakistan clashes and the success in the government's efforts for economic revival,' Sanaullah said while speaking on Geo News' programme 'Geo Pakistan'. Sanaullah stated that the government is willing to hold talks with PTI, but the party's simultaneous protest movement and demand for Khan's release through establishment intervention undermines their intentions. 'If they remain peaceful, then it's fine [as] it's their democratic right [to protest]. But if they take the law into their own hands and attempt to destabilise the country -- which has been their agenda from the beginning -- then the law will take its due course,' Geo News quoted him as saying. 'If you are serious about talking, then what is the need for this 90-day protest plan and the march towards Lahore?' Sanaullah added. PTI leaders, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, have vowed to escalate protests across the country, peaking on August 5, two years after Khan's imprisonment. Gandapur emphasized that Khan is ready to negotiate but with 'decision-makers,' hinting at Khan's reluctance to engage directly with the current government. PTI has accused the government of panicking over the protests, with party leaders claiming the government has created a 'curfew-like situation' in some areas to prevent demonstrations, reported Geo News. The protests have led to increased police vigilance, with reports of arrests and clashes between PTI supporters and law enforcement. PTI's interim chairman, Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, criticised the Punjab government for 'unleashing fascism' on party members and called for a return to democracy. (ANI)

He further credited US President Donald Trump's role in mediating a ceasefire deal between India and Pakistan following days of cross-border firing."...there could have been a atomic war. In this situation, if US President Donald Trump played a role and saved the world from disaster, then that role must be independently evaluated and so that role must be appreciated.

‘We had just 30 seconds': Pakistan PM's aide recalls near-nuclear panic after India's BrahMos strike, credits Trump for de-escalation

A top Pakistani politician and close aide to prime minister Shehbaz Sharif has acknowledged that during Operation Sindoor , Pakistan's military had just 30 to 45 seconds to assess whether a BrahMos cruise missile launched by India carried a nuclear warhead. 'When India fired BrahMos at Nur Khan airbase, Pakistan's military had only seconds to determine if it was nuclear. That's a dangerous situation,' Rana Sanaullah, special assistant to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, said in an interview. The missile struck Nur Khan airbase, a high-value Pakistan Air Force (PAF) facility in Chaklala, Rawalpindi. Sanaullah admitted the incident threw Pakistan into panic mode, raising fears of a full-scale nuclear conflict. A flashpoint moment The BrahMos strike came in the backdrop of a major India-Pakistan conflict following a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, where 26 tourists were killed by Pakistan-linked militants. In retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting multiple terror camps and military installations across Pakistan. Sanaullah claimed that while India's strike didn't carry a nuclear payload, the sheer ambiguity of the incoming missile risked triggering a nuclear response. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'I'm not saying India did good by not using a nuclear warhead. But such confusion could have sparked a global war,' he warned. Trump's role - fact or fiction? The PML-N leader credited US President Donald Trump for 'saving the world' by allegedly mediating during the crisis. 'There needs to be an independent evaluation of Trump's role,' he said. India, however, has consistently rejected any third-party intervention and maintains that it was Pakistan's DGMO who reached out first to initiate de-escalation. Operation Sindoor: India's precision offensive Satellite imagery released by India revealed extensive damage to Pakistan's military infrastructure. The Nur Khan base sustained hits on hangars, runways, and radar sites, impacting critical operations involving VIP fleets and Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones. Other airbases, Sargodha, Bholari, Jacobabad, Sukkur, and Rahim Yar Khan, were also targeted. Indian forces claimed to have killed over 100 terrorists and destroyed major Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and Hizbul Mujahideen camps. Pakistan retaliated with drones and missile strikes on western India, all of which were intercepted, before both sides agreed to a ceasefire after four days of intense exchanges. This wasn't the first time India struck Nur Khan. The IAF's 20 Squadron had also targeted the base in the 1971 war, marking the base as a historically strategic site.

Man held for alleging robbery by cops

Dozens of men aged from 25 to 75 arrested in connection of pedophile activities in France.

An investigation has been launched after the authorities uncovered an insurance fraud behind the allegation.

SHO Shaqeeb Raza Butt grew suspicious during initial inquiries. During interrogation, Sanaullah confessed that the robbery had been staged to claim insurance money and offered Rs400,000 in bribe to the police officer to drop the case. The Sandal Bar police station SHO registered a case against the driver for making a false helpline call and attempted bribery. The Iqbal Town SP said the investigation had begun after social media posts about police's involvement in the truck robbery.
