The new provinces debate has become an argument about majorities in the assemblies under Article 239. My latest in @dawn_com argues those majorities alone can’t settle it: the question should first go to the people, in a referendum under Article 48(6). dawn.com/news/2023432/more-p…

Pakistan has reopened the historic Gurdwara Chhatti Patshahi in #Lahore after 77 years, marking the first Sikh religious prayers here since the 1947 Partition. The reopening followed the removal of alleged illegal occupants and the handover of the site to the Sikh community.

A year ago, Reuters called Pakistan a “diplomatic outcast”; today it describes it as “a mediator between the US and Iran.” My latest in @dawn_com examines how credible international platforms such as @Reuters, @ChathamHouse and others are reading Pakistan’s diplomatic moment and the role of its leadership. dawn.com/news/2012231

Truly grateful to H.E. @JaneMarriottUK for taking the time to feature in Pakistan TV’s exclusive documentary, ‘Made in Pakistan: Sialkot to FIFA’.

Talking exclusively to Pakistan TV for its documentary, ‘Made in Pakistan: Sialkot to FIFA', British High Commissioner Jane Marriott says Pakistan has already made its mark on the FIFA World Cup through Sialkot’s world-class craftsmanship, with match balls used in iconic moments of football history. She highlights the deep connection between Pakistan and the global game, from historic World Cup goals to the modern stadiums of the UK and North America. @JaneMarriottUK @ukinpakistan @adilshahzeb @ranaabdullahham #FIFA #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup2026 #USA #Canada #Mexico #UK #Pakistan #Football #Sialkot #PakistanTV

I am absolutely appalled by today's cowardly terrorist attack on a train in Quetta, which has left at least 24 people dead and several more injured. Our thoughts and prayers are with the martyrs and their families.

So proud of Mummy’s school and the incredible difference it is making ❤️ Seeing the smiles on these children’s faces today says everything. So many disadvantaged children are being given opportunities they may otherwise never have had. @AlfajrTrust
Children at AlFajr School received their free uniforms and school bags today as they prepare for school. Through free education in deprived communities of Rawalpindi, we are helping children gain the opportunity they deserve to learn, grow, and dream of a better future. 📚🎓
