    Sardar Akhtar Mengal resigns from National Assembly

    Chief of Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) Sardar Akhtar Mengal has announced that he is resigning from the National Assembly (NA).

    Talking to media outside parliament alongside Chairman Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Mengal said, “I am announcing my resignation in this press conference, and I haven’t told anyone yet.”

    The head of BNP-M remarked that he will return to his constituency and tell the Baloch people, “If I was unable to do anything for your people, I didn’t sit along with those who were doing nothing for Balochistan.”

    “I’m disappointed by the system. The state is not ready to listen to Balochistan’s grievances, and I have lost confidence in the state, the President, and the Prime Minister.”

    “Even if you want to encounter or kill me outside Parliament, go ahead, but at least listen. We have no one, and no one listens to us,” he concluded.

    Counter Terrorism agents arrests two alleged members of ISIS from Khanewal, Punjab

    The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) is claiming that they have arrested two members from ISIS after a raid in Khanewal city, Punjab.

    The spokesperson of the CTD revealed that the suspects were preparing for attacks on the important installations and worship places. The team also recovered banned literature, weapons, and hand grenades.

    Further investigation is still underway.

    A new wave of terrorism is hitting cities across Pakistan from the beginning of the year, 2022 after a ceasefire was unilaterally ended by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

    Last month, terrorists targeted Lahore with a bomb blast at a famous crowded marketplace, New Anarkali. Three people died including one child and several were injured in the attack.

    Recently attacks occurred in Balochistan on a Wednesday evening resulting in four soldiers embracing martyrdom and killing 15 terrorists. Terrorists tried to enter a security forces’ camp from two locations. The banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attacks.

    Similarly, an incident occurred on January 28, when 10 soldiers embraced martyrdom after terrorists attacked a security forces’ check-post in Balochistan’s Kech district.
