In an abortive attempt to create diversion from Narendra Modi’s human rights abuses in Kashmir, the Indian media went berserk by propagating fake news about a “civil war” like situation in Karachi, triggering a hilarious response from the twitterati in Pakistan, who enjoyed every bit of the ridiculous reports.

#CivilWarInPakistan and #KarachiCivilWar were in no time the top trends, with the young twitter users going crazy by posting video clips from action movies, comics, images of the Indian MiG pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, shot down by Pakistan Air Force inside Pakistan’s territory, as scenes from the Civil War, getting an equally enthusiastic response with numerous retweets and likes.

The arrest of PML-N leader Captain (Retd) Safdar on charges of political sloganeering at Quaid’s Mausoleum and leave applications by senior police officers was exploited by the top Indian news channels, who portrayed an administrative issue as a “civil war” and went to the extent of even reporting casualties, and armed clashes.

The news reports were part of a persistent barrage of fake news from Indian mainstream media and its RAW controlled assets on social media over the past few months. The trend has witnessed a sharp spike as part of India’s fifth generation war (5GW) against Pakistan.

Pakistan’s Foreign Office on the “malicious and fabricated propaganda” by Indian mainstream and social media claiming civil unrest in Pakistan, said planting such baseless stories were reflective of the “Pakistan-obsessed BJP-RSS” mindset.

“Needless to say that Indian media continues to hit new lows,” he said, when asked to respond over the series of fake news flashed as breaking news across the Indian media about a “civil war in Pakistan”.

The Spokesperson said through “peddling fake news and running propaganda machinery”, India could not wash away the truth about its own gross and systematic human rights violations in Indian Ilelgally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

“Rather than reporting on humanitarian crisis in IIOJK, the Indian media chooses to spread fake and sensational news about Pakistan to detract from core issues,” he said.

The Indian media tried hard to appease its own consumers and to create a diversion from its human rights abuses in occupied Kashmir. However in its abortive attempt it created history by churning out fake news overpowered by the anti-Pakistan hysteria, undermining its professional ethics and credibility.

The unleashing of the Indian media did not go unnoticed, as Michael Kugelman, deputy director at the @AsiaProgram and South Asia senior associate @TheWilsonCenter in a tweet pointed that the Indian disinformation accounts were exploiting Pakistan’s current political crisis, and “falsely claiming that the country is no experiencing urban warfare.”

He described the trend as “dangerous and disturbing”, as several of these accounts were verified and had huge followings.

Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari said the Indian media was in “hyper drive with fake news on Pakistan” and regretted that it was “unfortunate that Twitter is [deliberately ignoring it].”

All major media outlets in so-called world’s biggest democracy decimated all journalistic norms as none bothered to fact-check such a huge gaffe. India’s News18, India Today, Zee News, India.com and several others quoted the International Herald which showed old videos of bomb explosions in Pakistan and portrayed it as the ongoing civil war.

The Institute of Policy Research in a report said their data indicates a pattern of Indian propaganda against Pakistan on digital media that grew exponentially after 2018 General Elections in #Pakistan. The propaganda hovers around largely 4 key themes.

Minister for Ports and Shipping pointed that the Indian propaganda was at its peak and “sadly fueled by the PDM Circus.” He said the food inflation was artificially manufactured, but was being brought under control.

Minister for Kashmir Affairs also lambasted the “fake, fabricated and malicious propaganda campaign to malign State institutions of Pakistan. He urged @Twitter to take action against Indian accounts for #FakeNews against Paksitan.

However, this idiocy of Indian media gave the Twitterati a perfect chance to enjoy as the microblogging site was flooded with messages to ridicule the Indian media’s insanity.

“Karachi civil war has gotten so bad that my food panda delivery boy had to crawl through mine fields carrying his AK47, RPG & 9mm along with my nihari and Biryani. This thing is getting so serious. Multiple cows have been killed & people are dying of over eating. #IndianMedia,” commented renowned singer Fakhr-e-Alam.

Besides numerous other fake photos, the Indian media also used an image of a building collapsed following a gas leakage blast in Karachi earlier in the day to substantiate its fake news of civil war.

“A little investigation would have informed Zee News that it wasn’t a bomb blast in ‘civil war’ in Pakistan but the result of a  gas leak in Karachi. Whither truth, objectivity, balance and fairness in reporting?,” said Farhatullah Babr, former senator of Pakistan Peoples Party which rules Sindh province.

“An Aircraft shot during civil war in Karachi… and the pilot captured…,” commented another Twitter user Fasihuddin while sharing the images of Indian aircraft MiG-21 and captured injured pilot Abhinandan following an aerial dogfight during India-Pakistan standoff in 2019.

NEW YORK, Feb 23 (APP): Envoys of Turkiye and Pakistan to the UN Sunday joined members of the Turkish and Pakistani communities at Masjid un Noor to commemorate the third anniversary of the devastating 6 February 2023 earthquake that hit Turkiye’s south-central region.

The powerful earthquake, which struck near the country’s border with Syria, claimed over 62,000 lives (53,537 in Turkiye and 8,476 in Syria) and injured more than 100,000.

The solemn ceremony, held over Iftar, “reflected the longstanding, historic, and brotherly ties between the peoples of the two countries, underscoring the deep bonds of friendship and solidarity that define the Pakistan–Turkiye strategic partnership,” a press release of the Pakistani Mission to the UN said.

In brief remarks, Ambassador Ahmet Yildiz of Turkiye and his Pakistani counterpart Asim Iftikhar Ahmad expressed their appreciation to the Board of Directors of Masjid un Noor for organizing the commemorative event.

Both ambassadors highlighted the multifaceted and enduring relationship between Pakistan and Turkiye, marked by steadfast support for each other’s core interests, close cooperation at the United Nations, and joint advocacy for the just causes of the peoples of Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine.

They also lauded the accomplishments of Pakistani and Turkish communities in diverse fields, and for their vital role in further strengthening the fraternal relations between the two countries.

Trump curious why Iran has not ‘capitulated’ amid U.S. military buildup, says envoy

WASHINGTON, Feb 22 (APP): US President Donald Trump is questioning why Iran has not yet “capitulated” in the face of Washington’s massive military build-up in the Middle East, the US president’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, has said.

Witkoff told Fox News on Saturday that Trump was “curious” about Iran’s position after he had warned of a limited military strike if a deal was not reached on Tehran’s nuclear programme.

The United States and Iran this week resumed Oman-mediated talks in Geneva aimed at averting the possibility of military action, after Washington dispatched two aircraft carriers, jets and weaponry to the region to back its warnings.

In the interview with Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara, Witkoff went on to say, “I don’t want to use the word ‘frustrated,’ because he understands he has plenty of alternatives, but he’s curious as to why they haven’t… I don’t want to use the word ‘capitulated,’ but why they haven’t capitulated,” he said.

“Why, under this pressure, with the amount of seapower and naval power over there, why haven’t they come to us and said, ‘We profess we don’t want a weapon, so here’s what we’re prepared to do’? And yet it’s sort of hard to get them to that place.”

The US envoy also confirmed in the interview that he had met with Reza Pahlavi, the son of the late Shah of Iran, who has not returned to Iran since before the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ousted the monarchy.

“I met him at the direction of the president,” he said, without providing further details.

Witkoff’s comments come after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a draft proposal for an agreement with Washington would be ready in a matter of days.

Trump said on Thursday that Iran had at most 15 days to make a deal on concerns starting with its nuclear programme.

As talks between the two nations continued in Geneva, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Tuesday said that Trump would not succeed in destroying Iran.

Western countries accuse Iran of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, which Tehran denies, though it insists on its right to enrichment for civilian purposes.

Iran, for its part, is seeking to negotiate an end to sanctions that have proven to be a massive drag on its economy, which played a role in sparking anti-government protests in December.

Tolerance for cross-border terrorism reached its limit: President Zardari

ISLAMABAD, Feb 22 (APP): President Asif Ali Zardari has said that Pakistan’s recent actions are rooted in its inherent right to defend its people against terrorism emanating from across its borders, and follow repeated warnings that went unheeded.

Referring to his statement of 8 February 2026, the President recalled that Pakistan had cautioned the international community that “when terrorist groups are allowed space, facilitation or impunity beyond national borders, the consequences are borne by innocent civilians all over the world.” He had also stated that Pakistan takes strong exception to the situation in Afghanistan where the Taliban regime has created conditions similar to or worse than pre-9/11.

In his statement, President Zardari said it is a matter of deep concern that the de facto authorities in Kabul, a regime not recognised by the United Nations, have continued to permit terrorist elements to operate from Afghan soil in violation of their commitments under the Doha Accord, wherein they pledged that Afghan territory would not be used against any country.

He noted that the most recent report of the United Nations Security Council Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team has reinforced Pakistan’s long-standing position. The report states: “A wide range of Member States consistently report that ISIL-K, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Al-Qaida, the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement, also known as the Turkistan Islamic Party (ETIM/TIP), Jamaat Ansarullah, Ittihad-ul-Mujahideen Pakistan, and others are present in Afghanistan. Some groups have used or are continuing to use Afghanistan to plan and prepare external attacks.”

The President observed that this assessment by the United Nations makes clear that the presence and activities of these organisations pose serious threats to neighbouring countries, including Pakistan. He said it is regrettable that despite clear warnings and repeated engagement, the Afghan authorities failed to take credible and verifiable action against these elements.

He said Pakistan exercised restraint for a considerable period and confined its response to terrorist hideouts located near the border areas. However, he warned that Pakistan is fully aware of where the planners, facilitators and patrons of violence are based. If bloodshed continues inside Pakistan, those responsible will not remain beyond reach.

President Zardari reaffirmed that Pakistan seeks peace, stability and cooperative relations with all its neighbours. He said that peace cannot rest on denial, duplicity or inaction against terrorism. The protection of Pakistani lives remains paramount and non-negotiable, he added.

QUETTA, Feb 22 (APP): Acting on the directives of Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti, the district administration of Quetta has intensified efforts to provide maximum relief to citizens during the holy month of Ramazan.
An evening review meeting, chaired by Deputy Commissioner Mehrullah Badini, assessed arrangements for Ramazan, price control measures, the performance of subsidized markets (Sasta Bazaars), and the fair distribution of ration supplies.
The meeting was attended by Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Muhammad Anwar Kakar, assistant commissioners, price control magistrates, and other relevant officials, who presented detailed reports on ongoing measures in their respective areas.
Deputy Commissioner Badini emphasized that providing relief to the public during Ramazan is the administration’s top priority, warning that negligence would not be tolerated.
He directed officials to ensure the abundant availability of essential food items including flour, sugar, ghee, pulses, and vegetables at Sasta Bazaars and other designated points, strictly at government-notified prices.
Price control magistrates were instructed to conduct daily inspections to monitor compliance. The Deputy Commissioner ordered indiscriminate action against hoarding and artificial price hikes, warning that profiteering would not be tolerated. Strict measures including fines, sealing of shops, and legal proceedings will be taken against violators.
Officials were directed to keep an effective complaint redressal system fully operational to ensure swift resolution of public grievances. The meeting also stressed maintaining quality standards and cleanliness at subsidized markets, while improving facilities for women, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities.
The district administration urged citizens to cooperate in ensuring compliance with official price lists and to report cases of overpricing or hoarding to the relevant authorities for immediate action.

LAHORE, Feb 22 (APP): The city recorded an average Air Quality Index (AQI) of 162, placing it in the unhealthy category and indicating deteriorating air conditions that may affect public health. Medical experts warn that exposure to such pollution levels can trigger breathing problems, throat irritation, and aggravate asthma and heart-related conditions, particularly among children, the elderly, and other vulnerable groups.
Data further showed that the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was approximately 14.2 times higher than the annual guideline value recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). These microscopic pollutants, primarily generated by vehicle emissions, industrial activities, construction dust, and other urban sources, can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, posing serious long-term health risks.

Pakistan’s external debt Profile remains predominantly concessional, long-term

By

ISLAMABAD, Feb 22 (APP): The Ministry of Finance wishes to clarify certain assertions made in a recent press commentary regarding the country’s external debt position and associated interest payments.
The figures presented in the commentary require contextual explanation to ensure an accurate and comprehensive understanding of Pakistan’s external debt profile.
Pakistan’s total external debt and liabilities currently stand at $138 billion.
This figure, however, encompasses a broad range of obligations, including public and publicly guaranteed debt, debt of Public Sector Enterprises (both guaranteed and non-guaranteed), bank borrowings, private-sector external debt, and intercompany liabilities to direct investors.
It is therefore important to distinguish this aggregate figure from External Public (Government) Debt, which amounts to approximately $92 billion.
Of the total External Public Debt, nearly 75 percent comprises concessional and long-term financing obtained from multilateral institutions (excluding the IMF) and bilateral development partners. Only about 7 percent of this debt consists of commercial loans, while another 7 percent relates to long-term Eurobonds. In light of this composition, the claim that Pakistan is paying interest on external loans “up to 8 percent” is misleading.
The overall average cost of External Public Debt is approximately 4 percent, reflecting the predominantly concessional nature of the borrowing portfolio.
With respect to interest payments, public external debt interest outflows increased from $1.99 billion in FY2022 to $3.59 billion in FY2025, representing an increase of 80.4 percent, not 84 percent as reported.
In absolute terms, interest payments rose by $1.60 billion over this period, not $1.67 billion.
According to the State Bank of Pakistan’s records, total debt servicing payments to specific creditors during the period under reference were as follows: the International Monetary Fund received $1.50 billion, of which $580 million constituted interest; Naya Pakistan Certificates payments totaled $1.56 billion, including $94 million in interest; the Asian Development Bank received $1.54 billion, including $615 million in interest; the World Bank received $1.25 billion, including $419 million in interest; and external commercial loans amounted to nearly $3 billion, of which $327 million represented interest payments.
While interest payments have increased in absolute terms, this rise cannot be attributed solely to an expansion in the debt stock. Although the overall debt stock has increased slightly since FY2022, the additional inflows have primarily originated from concessional multilateral sources and the IMF’s Extended Fund Facility (EFF) under the ongoing IMF-supported program.
During 2022–23, Pakistan faced heightened balance of payments pressures, which led to foreign exchange reserves falling below one month of import cover.
In response, the Government entered into an IMF EFF arrangement and mobilized financing from multilateral and other concessional partners.
These measures played a critical role in rebuilding foreign exchange reserves and strengthening the country’s external account position.
It is also important to note that the increase in interest payments reflects prevailing global interest rate dynamics.
In response to the inflation surge of 2021–22, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate from 0.75-1.00 percent in May 2022 to 5.25–5.50 percent by July 2023.
Although rates have since moderated to around 3.75 percent, they remain significantly higher than 2022 levels.
This global monetary tightening has kept international borrowing costs elevated and contributed to higher external interest payments.
The Government remains committed to prudent debt management, transparency, and the continued strengthening of Pakistan’s macroeconomic stability.
Accurate representation of debt statistics is essential to informed public discourse, and stakeholders are encouraged to consider the full context of Pakistan’s external debt structure and evolving global financial conditions.

Over 100 beggars detained since Ramazan 1 as ICT admin launches citywide crackdown

ISLAMABAD, Feb 22 (APP): More than 100 beggars have been shifted to detention facilities since the start of Ramazan, as the district administration in Islamabad stepped up action against organized begging.
The drive is being carried out on the directions of Deputy Commissioner (DC) Irfan Nawaz Memon, with all Assistant Commissioners assigned special tasks to enforce the campaign across the city.
Officials said operations began on the first day of Ramazan and have continued daily in markets, traffic junctions, entry points, and public places. During these actions, more than 100 individuals involved in begging were taken into custody and moved to holding centers. The administration said the focus is on those operating as part of organized networks that become active during the holy month.
The DC stated that data of detained beggars is being compiled to prevent their re-entry into the city. According to officials, records will be shared with relevant departments to strengthen checks at entry points and reduce repeat activity. The administration said this step aims to ensure that individuals previously detained do not return to the same locations.
Irfan Nawaz Memon said networks that exploit public generosity during Ramazan would be stopped. He added that enforcement teams are coordinating with law enforcement and social welfare departments to identify patterns, routes, and handlers linked to organized begging.
The DC noted that sustained action requires public cooperation. He said the administration alone cannot address the issue without timely information from residents. Citizens were urged to identify beggars operating at signals, markets, mosques, and commercial areas and inform the district administration immediately.
Officials explained that teams are working in shifts to cover peak hours, especially before iftar and during evening shopping times. Assistant Commissioners are supervising field operations and submitting daily reports on actions taken, locations covered, and follow-up measures.
The administration also said that checks are being carried out near city entry points to stop the inflow of beggars from other areas. Coordination with traffic police and local law enforcement has been strengthened to identify repeat offenders and move them out of public spaces.
The DC reiterated that the purpose of the campaign is to maintain order and ensure smooth movement in the city during Ramazan. He said enforcement would continue throughout the month and that legal steps would be taken where required under existing laws.
