  • In A First, Austrian-Made Assault Rifle Recovered From Slain Terrorists In Jammu |

    Srinagar: For the first time in Kashmir’s terror history, a Steyr AUG, an Austrian-made bullpup assault rifle, was recovered from the body of an infiltrating terrorist in the Keran sector of Kupwara district in north Kashmir. 

    The Army recovered a significant cache of arms and ammunition, including a Steyr AUG, an AK series rifle, five grenades, and other materials from two infiltrating terrorists. The terrorists were killed as they attempted to sneak across the Line of Control in the Keran sector of Kupwara. 

    In a statement, the Army said, “On July 17, credible input was received from the Jammu and Kashmir Police, corroborated by intelligence agencies, regarding a group of foreign terrorists likely to infiltrate through the Keran sector.” 

    “On July 18, at around 1230 hrs., alert troops observed the movement of two terrorists through thick foliage on their side of the LoC. The infiltrating terrorists were challenged and responded with gunfire, leading to an intense firefight,” the statement added. 

    “In the ensuing firefight, two foreign terrorists were neutralized. Searches were conducted, leading to the recovery of weapons and other incriminating material, including a Pakistani identity card,” the statement read. 

    Earlier, Commander 268 Infantry Brigade, Keran sector, Brigadier NR Kulkarni, noted that in recent weeks, there had been intelligence inputs regarding terrorists attempting to infiltrate the LoC along the Keran sector. They aimed to carry out sabotage and subversive activities, particularly targeting the ongoing Amarnath Yatra. 

    On June 15, three foreign terrorists were killed while attempting to sneak across the LoC in the Keran sector. The Army recovered a large quantity of war-like stores at that time, including three AK series rifles with magazines, four pistols, and a grenade. 

    This was the third infiltration attempt foiled by the Army along the LoC in the past month. 

  • Pakistan Elections: Imran Khan Loses Despite Winning? Army Pulls Strings As New PM ‘Selected’ world news

    New Delhi: Two days have passed since the elections in Pakistan, but the picture of the new government is not yet clear. The suspense on who will be the next PM remains. Despite being in jail, Imran Khan’s charisma in Pakistani politics remains intact, and the election results have also testified to this. Imran may be ahead in numbers, but Nawaz is trying to spoil the game of the mandate with the help of the army. After the army’s approval, the coalition government in Pakistan is gaining momentum.

    Bilawal Bhutto can play the role of kingmaker in this entire political equation of Pakistan. Nawaz’s dream of ascending the throne of power can be shattered without Bilawal’s PPP alliance. According to sources, this time Bilawal Bhutto wants to play the role of king rather than kingmaker. However, the army is the last truth of Pakistan. It is being said that this time Nawaz Sharif’s coronation is fixed in the army’s slip. In such a situation, Nawaz’s side can be heavy on Bilawal.

    The results of 255 out of 265 seats in Pakistan have come. 101 independents supported by Imran Khan’s PTI have won. At the same time, Nawaz Sharif’s PMLN has got 77 seats. Bilawal Bhutto’s PPP is at the third position, which has won 54 seats so far. After this, Altaf Hussain’s MQM-P is at number four, which has 17 seats.

    How Imran Khan Lost Even After Winning?

    On the one hand, the military government in Pakistan is preparing to seat its new pawn on the prime minister’s chair, while on the other hand, a new atmosphere is being created in the whole of Pakistan in support of Imran Khan, because Imran has lost even after winning. The meaning is clear that what Army Chief Munir wanted is happening in Pakistan.

    The army has trapped Imran Khan in its googly with carrot and stick. As per the instructions of Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif met Bilawal Bhutto’s father Asif Ali Zardari and Maulana Fazlur Rehman. It is possible that Nawaz’s party PML-N and Bilawal’s party PPP may come together to form a new government. That is, despite scoring a century in the Pakistani Political League, Imran Khan has lost the match.

    Arithmetics Of Forming The Government

    It is clear from the results that no party has got a full majority, so now all the parties are engaged in maneuvering to form the government. Nawaz Sharif is trying to form the government at any cost, while Bilawal wants to sit on the throne. So what can be the mathematics of forming a government?

    To form a new government in Pakistan, any party needs to win 133 out of 265 seats in the National Assembly, but no party has been able to touch this figure on its own. In such a situation, Nawaz’s Muslim League and Bilawal’s People’s Party are ready to come together to form the government.

    So far, Nawaz’s PML-N has won 73 seats, while Bilawal’s PPP has won 54 seats. Whereas, Fazlur Rehman’s JUI-F has won only 2 seats. After the alliance, the total number of seats is 129 and 133 are required for majority. So 5 more seats are needed, while the results of 10 seats are yet to come.

    Now if the alliance does not get a full majority, then they will need independent candidates. Nawaz Sharif has already made preparations for this. He reached out to the public even before the full results came and started trying to woo the Imran-backed candidates.

    Where Did Imran Khan Go Wrong?

    Contrary to the expectations of PMLN and PPP, Imran’s supporters are overjoyed and are making fun of Nawaz and Bilawal through memes. Even though Imran is in jail, his party PTI claims that Imran Khan will decide the next Prime Minister of Pakistan. PTI may claim that PM Imran Khan will decide, but it is certain that the army in Pakistan will dampen PTI’s hopes, as Imran and the army are currently bitter enemies.

    Civil War-Like Situation In Pakistan

    While Nawaz and Bilawal are busy trying to form a government, Pakistan has started to simmer after the results. Imran Khan’s supporters are on the streets and are openly challenging the army. The question now is whether the outcome of the elections in Pakistan is a civil war, because what was claimed for Pakistan before the elections seems to be coming true.

    Videos of rigging have surfaced. Pictures of violence have emerged after the results, which are proving the prophecy to be true. The International Crisis Group had claimed before the elections that if there was rigging in the elections, a civil war could break out in Pakistan.

    Why is it being criticized: Critics say that by giving government land on lease, the Pakistani Army will become the owner of the largest amount of land in the country. The job of the army is to protect from external enemies and to become an assistant to the government when needed. Nothing more can be expected from him.

    Confusion over army’s plan: Many things are not clear in the plan prepared by the Pakistani Army in the government documents. For example, when will the fields become suitable for cultivation? The government land that will be taken on lease lies in the Cholistan desert. There is maximum shortage of water here. More than 1 lakh hectares of the land taken on lease is in desert. Lahore High Court had stayed the decision to transfer government land but later another bench passed it. It is also not clear whether the land that will be transferred will be under the control of the army or small landowners.

    Army has no knowledge of farming: Pakistan’s agriculture expert Asif Riaz Taj said that army officers have no knowledge of farming. They may know only traditional methods of farming or they will take the help of local farmers. There are thousands of agriculture graduates in the country who are unemployed. They should be given a chance. Earlier there were reports in which it was said that the army harasses poor farmers.
