Lahore ATC to indict over 260 in Jinnah House attack case

LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court on Saturday distributed the copies of charge-sheet among 267 suspects, including several senior PTI leaders, and summoned them for indictment in the Jinnah House attack case next week. While incarcerated PTI leaders including ex-ministers Dr Yasmin Rashid, Mian Mehmoodur Rashid, ex-governor Omar Sarfraz Cheema and Senator Ejaz Chaudhry were produced before Judge Manzer Ali Gill, who conducted the hearing inside the Kot Lakhpat jail, the latter was informed that ex-minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi was shifted to Punjab Institute of Cardiology for a cardiac complaint before the hearing commenced. Also, PTI’s former lawmakers Aliya Hamza Malik and Rubina Jamil, social media activists Sanam Javed and Tayyaba Raja, fashion designer Khadija Shah and other suspects out on bail attended the hearing inside the jail. Senior lawyers Burhan Moazam Malik and Rana Mudassir Umar appeared on behalf of the suspects. After being provided with the copies of the charge...

Analysis: Nuclear neighbours in high wire act

Following India’s May7 ‘OperationSindoor,’ the two arch rival South Asian neighbours find themselves precariously balanced on a razor’s edge — one step away from catastrophe. In barely a day, New Delhi’s pre-dawn strikes on six sites in Pakistan and Islamabad’s thunderous shoot down of five Indian fighters have drawn both nuclear-armed neighbors into a high wire act of provocation and reprisal.

Delhi never produced public evidence tying Pakistan to the attack, nor did it heed international entreaties for restraint; instead it moved decisively as Indian leaders bid to achieve a “new normal” in ties with Pakistan, one in which preemptive and punitive stri...

Punjab says canals project ‘still taking shape’

LAHORE: As the canals controversy continued to rile Sindh , the Punjab government on Wednesday said that though not a single canal had been constructed on the Indus River so far, the project was still under consideration. “Punjab does not need any external dictation regarding the use of river floodwater. Punjab is fully sovereign in utilising its own resources and that Sindh has no right to object to Punjab’s development projects,” Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari told a presser here on Wednesday. Flanked by Punjab Agriculture Minister Ashiq Hussain Kermani, Azma Bokhari said that the proposed canal project was still under consideration and only excess floodwater would be utilised for the purpose. “This initiative aims to benefit farmers and promote agricultural development,” she claimed. Earlier this week, the Sindh chief minister also claimed that work on the six canals project had been halted since July 2024. According to the minister, canals had not been constructed y...
