    Pakistan approaches international community on radioactive smuggling in India

    Pakistan has reached out to the international community over the arrest of a gang charged with smuggling radioactive substances called ‘californium’ in India.
    Pakistan Foreign Office (FO) has questioned how hazardous Sealed Radioactive Source (SRS) material was stolen.

    The Bihar Police have arrested a member of a gang smuggling californium, a radioactive chemical that is used to cure cancer. It is reportedly worth RS 17 crore a gram, Indian Media report

    “It is dangerous for such sensitive material in India to be routinely found in the wrong hands. Pakistan reiterates its call for a thorough investigation of these incidents and for adequate measures to prevent their recurrence. Pakistan is gravely concerned at the reports of recurring incidents of theft and illicit sale of nuclear and other radioactive materials in India,” said the Foreign Office.

    Quoting last month’s incident where five individuals with a radioactive device reportedly stolen from Bhabha Atomic Research Center were also found from Dehradun, the FO expressed strong reservations on the developments.

    Karachi police takes action over Nimra Khan’s viral video

    On Tuesday, DIG Karachi-South Asad Raza took notice of actress Nimra Khan’s viral video where she claimed to have stopped an attempt to kidnap her.

    The DIG asked SSP South to provide a report on the incident. Nimra Khan said that three armed men tried to kidnap her while she was waiting for her car outside a hotel in Karachi’s Defence area.

    Recalling the scary event, Nimra shared that the men tried to force her into their vehicle at gunpoint. She resisted, but the people around did not help her.

    In her video, she said, “The armed men could have shot me, but I managed to stop a passing car.” With help from the family inside the car and hotel staff, she escaped.

    She expressed her frustration, saying, “If women aren’t safe in Pakistan, should we really be celebrating Pakistan Day? Can anyone confidently say that their sister, wife, daughter, or mother is safe in Pakistan? The answer, sadly, is no.”

    Police officials said that Nimra has not yet reported the incident to the police. They stated that they will start their investigation once she does.

    Evidence exists of Faiz Hameed’s connection with PTI; journalist Umer Cheema claims

    Investigative journalist Umer Cheema and talk show host Muneeb Farooq have revealed startling details of former spymaster Lieutenant General (retd) Faiz Hameed’s links with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
    Cheema said that there is evidence that the General was connected with PTI even after his retirement.

    He further claimed that senior leaders of PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) conveyed messages from Peshawar to Bani Gala when Faiz Hameed was the Corp Commander of the city on Geo News’ Shahzaib Khanzada talk show.

    Muneeb Farooq recounted that in a sitting of powerful army officials, former Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Qamar Javed Bajwa said, “I dropped Gen Faiz Hameed’s name for the Position of (COAS) and insisted on not making Lieutenant Gen Asim Munir’s Army Chief.”
    He also said that if General Asim Muneer became army chief, Faiz Hameed would undoubtedly face a field court martial trial as there is clear evidence of his involvement in mutiny attempts.
    Muneeb also said that Faiz Hameed had a direct connection with PTI after his retirement, and the 9th May riots were the second attempt against incumbent Army Chief Asim Munir.

    “If Faiz Hameed proves guilty of sedition, he could be persecuted at an extreme level,” predicted Cheema

    ‘Good news’ coming soon on electricity prices: Shehbaz Sharif

    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Wednesday that he will give the nation “good news” regarding reduced electricity costs and a new economic reform plan.

    “Today, there is inflation. People are worried about electricity bills and other problems. However, if not all is good in the country, not all is bad,” said the PM.

    “Our primary focus is on reducing power prices to provide relief to domestic consumers, agriculture, industry, exports, and business sectors. This is essential to navigate the current economic challenges. The competitiveness of our exports is directly linked to affordable electricity,” stated the premiere in an address to newly appointed officials of power distribution companies (DISCOS) on Tuesday.

    He highlighted that the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) was committed to lowering energy costs, which have placed a significant burden on the debt-ridden nation.

    He pointed out DISCOS’s inefficiencies and corruption, which have led to power theft costing around Rs 500 billion annually.

    “This is your greatest challenge. The government has deliberated on how to improve the system. You must give your best,” the PM stated, stressing that DISCOS officials’ appointments have been made on merit.

    Gen Asim Munir denounces foreign-funded digital terrorism

    Chief of Army Staff Gen Asim Munir on Tuesday night stressed that a wave of ‘digital terrorism’ funded by foreign powers was aimed at creating a gap between state institutions and the public of Pakistan.

    Speaking at a parade at Pakistan Military Academy to mark Independence Day, the top general addressed vital issues, including the limitations of freedom of speech.

    The military is using the term digital terrorism increasingly to label its harsh critics on social media, which includes PTI activists.

    Moreover, he also discussed the security situation of the country and called on its neighbour, Afghanistan, to not choose TTP over Pakistan.

    The COAS referred to TTP as Fitna al-Khawarij for its “anti-state and anti-Sharia activities.”
