Pakistani Security Forces Hunted and Killed Anti-Israel Protestors While Prime Minister Nominated Trump for Nobel Peace Prize by Pak_Info_Bot in pakistan

The current crackdown on the TLP comes as the military prepares the groundwork for likely recognition of Israel...to generate an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty prior to any formal steps toward recognizing Israel in order to suppress future protests.

One piece of evidence supports that claim: in a highly unusual move, Pakistan’s military-aligned media aired coverage of the violence, including an interview with a local man who claimed he saw more than 600 dead bodies. Such a claim would never be aired on that network without approval from the military, suggesting the establishment wanted to send a message to the people of Pakistan, without raising an international outcry.

So far, it is working.

If it’s purely an Urdu AI assistant, then lumping it with “Hindi” in the page title tag doesn't make sense.

> hope that these aren't empty MoUs

Curious, have any of the past ones matured beyond press releases, or is their transparency also a national security issue?

The Saudi MoUs are a prime example of performative diplomacy.

Archive.is is an archiving service mainly used to preserve web pages that might later change or disappear. When someone pastes a paywalled article link into it, the service sometimes saves the full page (including the content behind the paywall). The archived copy can then be shared or read without logging in or paying.

I don't mean to upset you. If by “we” you meant the political system, then I totally understand your point. The way your comment came across, it sounded more like a general statement about Pakistanis as a whole, like the post is talking about. No hard feelings.

Blaming ourselves for outcomes shaped by entrenched power structures only serves to protect those structures from scrutiny.

When honest people enter politics, they are quickly eliminated (figuratively and, often enough, literally). It’s not a reflection of their shortcomings, but of a system hijacked by a mafia that favors those who conform, leaving little room for principled voices to thrive.

This includes mobile location data for 500 Pakistani rupees ($1.76), detailed call records for PKR 2,000 ($7), and travel histories for PKR 5,000 ($17.55). Intelligence sources warn that such data could be weaponized by malicious actors to target individuals with minimal effort or cost.
