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”.

“Indian media continues to hit new lows”: FO

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.

Extreme weather ‘uprooting lives’ as cyclones batter Asia: UN agencies warn

UNITED NATIONS, Dec 02 (APP): Across southeast Asia, record-breaking rains and flooding caused by back-to-back tropical storms have claimed hundreds of lives and brought devastation and displacement upon entire communities, UN agencies said on Tuesday.

World Meteorological Organization (WMO) spokesperson Clare Nullis told reporters in Geneva that Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam are among the countries most affected by what she described as “a combination of monsoon-related rainfall and tropical cyclone activity”.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his deep sadness over the tragic loss of life across the region.

In a statement released by his Spokesperson he conveyed condolences to the families of the victims and expresses his solidarity with all those impacted.

“The United Nations is in close contact with authorities in all four countries and stands ready to support relief and response efforts. UN Country Teams remain at the disposal of Governments to provide necessary assistance.”

“Asia is very, very vulnerable to floods,” WMO’s Ms. Nullis said, explaining that flooding consistently tops the list of climate hazards in the region, according to WMO’s annual State Of The Climate reports.

However, she said that tropical cyclones such as Senyar, which last week brought “torrential rainfall and widespread flooding and landslides” across northern Sumatra in Indonesia, peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand, are rare so close to the Equator.

“It’s not something that we see very often and it means the impacts are magnified because local communities… have got no experience in this,” she stressed.

The UN weather agency spokesperson quoted Tuesday’s figures from the Indonesian National Disaster Office indicating 604 fatalities, 464 people missing and 2,600 injured. In total, some 1.5 million people have been affected in Indonesia and more than 570,000 have been displaced.

Turning to Vietnam, Ms. Nullis said that the south Asian nation has been “battered now for weeks” and is “bracing for yet more heavy rainfall”.

“Exceptional rains in the past few weeks have flooded historic sites, popular tourist resorts and caused massive damages,” she said.

In late October, one meteorological station in central Viet Nam recorded a national 24-hour rainfall record of 1,739 millimetres, which Ms. Nullis described as “really enormous”.

“It’s the second-highest known total anywhere in the world for 24-hour rainfall,” she said.

This exceptionally high value is currently subject to a formal WMO extremes evaluation committee. According to the agency, a value above 1,700 mm would constitute a record for the Northern Hemisphere and Asia.

Ricardo Pires, spokesperson for the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), described what he called a “fast-moving humanitarian emergency” in Sri Lanka, after Cyclone Ditwah made landfall on the country’s east coast last week, affecting some 1.4 million people including 275,000 children.

“With communications down and roads blocked, the true number of children impacted is likely even higher,” Pires warned. “Homes have been swept away, entire communities isolated, and the essential services children rely on, such as water, healthcare and schooling have been severely disrupted.”

The UNICEF spokesperson stressed that displacement has forced families into unsafe and overcrowded shelters, while the flooding and damaged water systems are increasing disease outbreak risks.

“The needs far outweigh the available resources right now,” he insisted, in an appeal for additional humanitarian funding and support for the most vulnerable.

Commenting on the intensity of the devastating weather events WMO’s Ms. Nullis explained that rising temperatures “increase the potential risk of more extreme rainfall because a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture”.

“That’s the law of physics…we are seeing more extreme rainfall and we will continue to do so in the future,” she added.

ISLAMABAD, Dec 02 (APP): The National Skills University Islamabad (NSU), on Tuesday, hosted a one-day cascading session of the STEM Faculty Development Programme under PAK-UK Education Gateway, which is a collaborative project of the National Academy of Higher Education (NAHE-HEC), British Council, King’s College London, and the STEM Learning Centre, York (UK).
The session brought together faculty members trained in the UK under this prestigious programme to share their learning and innovative teaching practices with peers across the university.
The workshop covered a series of transformative topics aimed at enhancing the quality of teaching and learning in STEM disciplines, combining conceptual discussions with hands-on activities, allowing participants to experience these methodologies from a learner’s perspective.
These innovative approaches are designed to promote active learning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving among students.
Serving both as organizers and resource persons, Dr Maryam Subhani and Anita Bibi represented the National Skills University Islamabad, alongside Dr Raisa Bano from the Women University Swabi, Dr Saima Kalsoom from the PMAS–Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi, and Dr Samar Naseer from the Allama Iqbal Open University. Their collaborative effort exemplified cross-institutional partnership and commitment to enhancing STEM pedagogy in Pakistan.
The session was appreciated by Managing Director NAHE, Dr Noor Amna Malik, who graced the event as Chief Guest.
The cascading session marked another successful step in advancing STEM education and faculty development in Pakistan through global collaboration and local innovation, reaffirming NSU’s leading role in promoting excellence in skills-based higher education.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) could accelerate global inequality, UN report warns

UNITED NATIONS, Dec 02 (APP): Millions of jobs across Asia could be at risk as the artificial intelligence (AI) industry booms at the expense of poorer nations still struggling to provide basic digital access and literacy, UN economists said Tuesday.

Just as industrialization in the 19th century “split the world into a wealthy few and the impoverished”, the AI revolution could do the same.

“Countries that invest in skills, computing power and sound governance systems will benefit, others risk being left far behind,” warned Philip Schellekens, Chief Economist for the UN Development Programme for the Asia and Pacific region.

In a new report, the agency highlighted that women and young adults face the biggest threat from AI in the workplace, with wider improvements in health, education and income potentially falling by the wayside.

Meanwhile, the technology juggernaut is expected to inject nearly $1 trillion in economic gains over the next decade across Asia alone, data indicates.

The UN agency said that although China, Singapore and South Korea have invested heavily in – and benefited massively from – AI, entry-level workers in many South Asian nations face “significant exposure” to changes already underway, including automation.

“Limited infrastructure, skills, computing power, and governance capacity constrain the potential benefits of AI while amplifying risks, including job.

To prevent a looming jobs crunch, UNDP is urging governments to consider the ethics of AI before rolling it out further – and to ensure this is done so in as inclusive a way as possible.

“AI is racing ahead, and many countries are still at the starting line,” said Kanni Wignaraja, UN Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific.

“The Asia and Pacific experience highlights how quickly gaps can emerge between those shaping AI and those being shaped by it.”

For countries including Cambodia, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam, the priority isn’t so much developing AI as making use of existing and relatively simple voice-based tools that frontline health workers and farmers can use, even when the internet is down.

The Asia-Pacific region is home to more than 55 per cent of the world’s population, putting it at the centre of AI transition.

According to UNDP, the region hosts more than half of global AI users and is rapidly expanding its innovation footprint; China alone holds nearly 70 per cent of global AI patents, while six countries host more than 3,100 newly funded AI companies.

“AI could lift annual GDP growth in the region by around two percentage points and raise productivity by up to five per cent in sectors such as health and finance,” the UN agency said in its report.

It notes how Afghanistan’s average income is 200 times lower than in Singapore, which partly explains why AI take-up is concentrated in the hands of so few wealthy countries today.

“We’re not starting from a level playing field in this region,” said Schellekens is the most unequal region in the whole world.”

ISLAMABAD, Dec 2 (APP): Federal Minister for Railways Hanif Abbasi on Tuesday urged Discover Pakistan to spotlight Pakistan Railways’ unprecedented reforms, successes, and public-service initiatives, noting that the broadcaster already plays a vital role in showcasing the country’s valleys, lakes, and mountains to the world.

Addressing the National Tourism Award 2025 ceremony—organized by Discover Pakistan in collaboration with the Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation—as the chief guest, Abbasi praised the channel’s remarkable contribution to promoting the nation’s tourism industry.

Highlighting tourism’s role in shaping a positive global image, the minister said it remains essential for strengthening the economy, enhancing international relations, and projecting Pakistan’s soft image abroad.

Abbasi reaffirmed the government’s commitment to advancing sustainable tourism through improved infrastructure, security, connectivity, and communication.

He stressed the need to align cultural heritage tourism, adventure tourism, eco-tourism, and community-based tourism with international standards to enhance their global appeal.

Paying tribute to digital storytellers and individuals promoting tourism, he commended young creators for capturing and sharing Pakistan’s natural beauty through their photography and storytelling.

The minister underscored Pakistan Railways’ significance as a pillar of national progress, reiterating the ministry’s resolve to modernize the sector in line with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s vision.

He said ongoing reforms—including the development of state-of-the-art stations, enhanced transparency, digital upgrades, improved passenger services, increased revenue collection, and expanded regional connectivity—are central to this transformation.

Abbasi also lauded the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, saying the respect and confidence Pakistan has earned internationally under their valour and strategic vision is unprecedented.

He added that the world now sees Pakistan as a strong, dignified, and confident state—an outcome he described as the collective success of the government.

CAIRO, Dec 2 (APP): Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan on Tuesday reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to strengthening economic cooperation among Developing-8 (D-8) countries, calling for deeper collaboration to meet emerging global challenges.

Addressing the 4th meeting of the D-8 Trade Ministerial Council in Cairo, the minister thanked the Government of Egypt for hosting the session and welcomed Azerbaijan as the group’s ninth member, noting that its inclusion would further enhance collective economic strength and cooperation.

Kamal Khan said the D-8 had become an important platform for countries with significant economic potential and shared development goals. He stressed that in an era marked by rising protectionism, climate-related disruptions, supply chain uncertainties and volatile commodity markets, regional alliances were essential for ensuring stability and sustained growth.

He highlighted the D-8 Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA) as a key instrument for boosting intra-bloc trade, calling for its full and effective implementation. “By reducing tariffs, simplifying procedures and creating a predictable trading environment, the PTA can significantly expand market access,” he said, adding that Pakistan was committed to resolving operational issues and harmonising documentation to make the agreement fully functional.

The minister emphasised the need for stronger institutional mechanisms, including cooperation in customs, standardisation, mutual recognition and logistics connectivity. Efficient transport corridors and digital systems, he noted, were vital for smooth regional trade.

The commerce minister underscored the central role of the private sector in driving economic integration, urging greater business-to-business engagement, joint ventures and technology partnerships among member states.

He also highlighted opportunities in sustainable development, food security, energy, agriculture and textiles, saying the D-8 could serve as a model for South-South cooperation.

As regards the evolving global economy, he stressed the need to embrace digital transformation, including e-commerce, fintech and digital payments. Pakistan, he said, was keen to collaborate on strengthening digital infrastructure and innovation networks across the bloc.

“A more connected D-8 community can significantly enhance economic resilience and regional stability,” he said, expressing confidence that the Cairo deliberations would help shape a more integrated and prosperous future for member states.
