PHC seeks reply on blocked CNICs
A bench comprising Justice Ejaz Anwar and Justice Waqar Ahmad heard the petition filed by Taj Bibi and her family.
Representing the petitioners, Advocate Malik Shehbaz Khan informed the court that Taj Bibi and her four children are Pakistani citizens. He explained that when her son, Muhammad Ullah, applied for a CNIC, he was told that his father Sher Rehman's CNIC had been blocked, which prevented the issuance of his identity card.
Later, Sher Rehman's CNIC was reactivated, and Muhammad Ullah received his CNIC in 2018. However, when Taj Bibi recently applied for the renewal of her CNIC, she was informed that not only her husband Sher Rehman's CNIC, but the entire family's CNICs had been blocked.

Defence minister refutes IAF chief's claim of shooting down Pakistani jets
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Saturday strongly rejected claims by the Indian Air Force chief that India had shot down five Pakistani fighter jets during a conflict in May, calling the assertions 'implausible' and 'ill-timed.' 'The belated assertions made by the Indian Air Force Chief regarding alleged destruction of Pakistani aircraft during Operation Sindoor are as implausible as they are ill-timed,' Asif said in a statement. He added it was 'ironic how senior Indian military officers are being used as the faces of monumental failure caused by the strategic shortsightedness of Indian politicians.' Asif noted that for three months after the conflict, no such claims were made. He said Pakistan had presented 'detailed technical briefings' to the international media immediately after the incident, while independent observers acknowledged the loss of multiple Indian aircraft, including Rafales. These acknowledgements, he said, came from 'world leaders, senior Indian politicians to foreign intelligence assessments.' This story is being developed...

IAF chief must have claimed downing Pakistan's aircraft under pressure: defence analyst
Indian Air Force chief's claim of downing Pakistan's military aircraft after three months is such an 'absurd and illogical idea' that it must have been stated under pressure from political leadership, Senior Defence Analyst Brigadier (retd) Waqar Hassan Khan said on Saturday. The defence analyst made this remark, responding to IAF chief's claim that India destroyed six Pakistani aircraft during the May dogfight. The Indian ruling political party, BJP, has come under intense pressure from the opposition amid praise lavished by international defence analysts and military leadership on Pakistan Air Force's brilliance in the dogfight with India. India confirms Pakistan downed 'unspecified number' of fighter jets India shot down five Pakistani fighter jets and one other military aircraft during clashes in May, India's air force chief claimed on Saturday, the first such statement by the country months after its worst military conflict in decades with its nuclear-armed neighbour. Indian Air Chief Marshal AP Singh claimed most of the Pakistani aircraft were downed by India's Russian-made S-400 surface-to-air missile system. Brig (retd) Waqar said satellites and other technologies are so advanced these days that this air combat was witnessed by China, Turkiye, the US and other countries as well and they had clear idea about formation of aircrafts and missiles hitting any target. After Pakistan downed Indian jets, Indonesia weighs purchase of China's J-10s 'In a matter of minutes, this can be figured out how many targets have successfully been achieved through these technologies,' he said, adding it was obvious that there was something very fishy with Indian air chief's this claim. If India had downed Pakistani fighter jet, it must have been noticed by international observers, he said. On the other hand, Waqar said, Pakistan's destroying Indian fighter jets including Rafale was validated by foreign media as well. Trump says he thinks 5 jets were shot down in Pakistan, India hostilities Earlier, Pakistan said it downed five Indian planes in air-to-air combat. India also claimed it downed 'a few planes' of Pakistan. Islamabad denied suffering any losses of planes. A days-long war erupted between the two nuclear-armed countries in May this year, after India launched an attack inside Pakistan, weeks after blaming Pakistan for the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) attack in April that claimed lives of 26 tourists. Without providing any evidence, India claimed that its attack targeted terrorist infrastructure. The attack came despite Pakistan's calling for a neutral investigation into the Kashmir attack. On May 7, Indian jets bombed sites across the border, setting off an exchange of attacks between the two countries by fighter jets, missiles, drones, and artillery that killed dozens until the ceasefire was reached. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan that he announced on social media on May 10 after Washington held talks with both sides. India has differed with Trump's claims that it resulted from his intervention.
