Iran war: China’s ‘peace plan’ likely to thwart Pakistan’s high profile US plans​ New Delhi, April 1 (SocialNews.XYZ) China has stepped up efforts as a global peace broker with initiatives on a possible stop to the United States-Iran war and the Afghan-Pakistan armed conflict, even as Islamabad’s offer to host players involved in the West Asian theatre gains ground, raising questions over current relations between the “all-weather friends.”​ It was perhaps not a coincidence that Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar rushed to Beijing two days after being diagnosed with a hairline fracture in the shoulder from slipping at an official engagement.

Refugee expulsions fuel Afghan unity, derail Pakistan’s regime change plans New Delhi, March 2 (SocialNews.XYZ) The fragile ceasefire between the Afghan Taliban and Pakistan collapsed when the latter declared an open war with Kabul. The first round of strikes went in Pakistan’s favour, and this boosted its army’s morale. Pakistan may be one up on Afghanistan when it comes to air power, but when it comes to boots on the ground, the Taliban is no pushover, as it has had the experience of fighting both the Soviets and allied forces.

‘Islamabad under fire’: ISKP’s calculated return amid Pakistan’s security strain New Delhi, Feb 11 (SocialNews.XYZ) The recent bombing at a mosque in Islamabad by the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) clearly shows that the terror outfit has exploited the failing security mechanism in Pakistan. The ISKP was quiet when it came to operations in Pakistan for almost a year. The last attack that the ISKP claimed responsibility for was at Balochistan's Mastung on April 15, 2025, when a bus carrying personnel of the Pakistani security forces was targeted, resulting in the death of three.

Trade, terror and takeover: Pakistan’s multi-pronged push in Bangladesh New Delhi, Jan 9 (SocialNews.XYZ) Several attempts have been made to postpone the elections in Bangladesh slated for February this year. In the run-up to the elections, Pakistan has made several moves that have brought it closer to Bangladesh. Since the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, ties between Bangladesh and India have virtually collapsed. However, after the installation of Muhammad Yunus as the caretaker of the interim government, Pakistan seems to have gained a lot from Bangladesh.

Leadership on the run: Why Pakistan’s terror revival effort is moving slower than planned New Delhi, Dec 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) The ISI has been attempting everything possible to get the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed to become fully operational. Post Operation Sindoor, both these terror groups, along with the Hizbul Mujahideen, faced severe and embarrassing losses. This was courtesy of the operation that the Indian armed forces carried out precisely to avenge the Pahalgam attack. Intelligence Bureau officials say that the ISI, with the help of the Pakistan army, is doing everything possible to revive the groups, which have been down since the Indian operation.

Shrinking freedom: Pakistan’s steady march into authoritarianism (IANS Analysis) New Delhi, Dec 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) With each new legal manoeuvre that strengthens the military establishment’s grip behind the veneer of civilian rule, Pakistan edges closer to an Orwellian security state. Dissent is increasingly criminalised, surveillance has become routine, and the media landscape now operates as a carefully managed sphere in which the establishment shapes and limits the national narrative. The latest Freedom on the Net 2025 and Freedom in the World 2025 reports by Washington-based Freedom House capture this steady and alarming contraction of Pakistan’s civic space.
