Listen to article
Veteran politician and PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has urged his party leaders to actively highlight the role of Pakistan's armed forces in their political programs, stressing that the military remains a cornerstone of national unity, defence, and resilience.
He was addressing senior party leaders on Monday during an important huddle attended by Dr Muhammad Amjad, Mustafa Malik, Mehreen Malik Adam, Dr Raheem Awan, Anila Chaudhry, Atif Mughal, Rizwan Sadiq, and Chaudhry Jahangir.
Chaudhry Shujaat underscored the pride the nation holds for its military leadership, stating, "The Pakistani nation is proud of its brave forces and its commanders — Field Marshal Asim Munir, Air Chief Zaheer Ahmed Babar, and Naval Chief Naveed Ashraf."
He stressed that political stability, economic prosperity, and national defense are interlinked, adding that economic independence is essential for a strong defense. 'Like a solid wall (Bunyanum Marsoos), national leadership must come together for the country's economic revival,' he said.
The PML-Q leader noted that Pakistan has emerged as a new regional power and it is now imperative for all stakeholders to work collectively to transform it into an economic force. He described the Pakistani people as a courageous and resilient nation that knows how to face challenges head-on.
Chaudhry Shujaat also highlighted the importance of focusing on the struggles of ordinary citizens. 'The salaried class and the underprivileged deserve the attention of the national leadership,' he said, urging that the upcoming federal budget should be framed with the needs and expectations of the common man in mind.
The meeting concluded with a consensus to align the party's messaging with national priorities, particularly in recognizing the armed forces' contributions to the country's stability and progress.

135,000 Pakistanis seek asylum abroad
Listen to article It was revealed during the meeting of a parliamentary panel that around 135,000 Pakistanis have sought political asylum in western countries in the last two years. The committee was also told that 52,000 Pakistanis have been deported from neighboring countries including Iran during the same period. The Senate Standing Committee on Overseas Pakistanis held a meeting on Tuesday. During the session, chaired by Senator Zeeshan Khanzada, the director general of passports revealed that 125,000 Pakistanis in Europe and more than 10,000 in the United States had applied for political asylum. He informed the committee that some countries do not jail Pakistani nationals who arrive there through illegal means but immediately repatriate them to Pakistan. "34,000 Pakistanis were deported from Iran last year. The passports of deported individuals have been blocked, while those involved in criminal activities are being given strict punishments," he said. The DG noted that over 10.3 million skilled Pakistani professionals are currently working abroad. Earlier, officials from the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis stated that Saudi Arabia has reduced the number of visas issued to Pakistanis and tightened the eligibility criteria. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) briefed the committee that since 2023, over 52,000 Pakistanis have been deported, including 5,000 beggars deported from Saudi Arabia.

ADB snubs India to approve Pakistan loan
Listen to article The Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Tuesday approved an $800 million financing package for Pakistan to enhance tax collection and provide guarantees for securing foreign commercial loans by rejecting Indian objections. The Manila-based lender protected its neutrality by refusing to allow the use of the platform for settling political score by India. The ADB was under pressure from India not to approve the financing package but Pakistan being the founding member has all the rights to secure loans by fulfilling the agreed conditions. The ADB's local office announced on Tuesday that the lender approved an $800 million programme to strengthen fiscal sustainability and improve public financial management in Pakistan. The lender stated that the $300 million loan was approved for the Improved Resource Mobilisation and Utilisation Reform Programme and the first-ever policy-based guarantee of up to $500 million had also been approved, which was expected to mobilise financing of up to $1 billion from commercial banks. It was the second time in the past three weeks that India failed to block Pakistan's external loans, first in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and then in the ADB. The Indian executive director tried to block the funding on political grounds. The Pakistani executive director apprised the board that India was financing terrorism in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to the Pakistani authorities. The development came after India had earlier managed to postpone the approval of the $800 million financing package by the ADB for Pakistan for five days by exploiting a lacuna in the rules. The Pakistani authorities said that the Indian executive director raised the issues of high indebtedness of Pakistan and alleged that the money could be used for other than the stated purposes. The Pakistani executive director replied that India's debt was unsustainable compared to Pakistan. The Indian debt-to-GDP was 80.4% of GDP compared to Pakistan's 73.6%, according to the IMF's data. The Pakistani executive director apprised the board that India was fuelling terrorism in Pakistan by providing funding to the terrorists in Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P). On the point of using the ADB's funding for other than intended purposes, the board was apprised that raising such questions was tantamount to pointing fingers at the lender's financial management and showed lack of trust. The board was informed that Pakistan had necessary means and resources to protect its national integrity and it had proven it during the four-day war last month. Pakistan downed six Indian jet fighters, including Rafaels, during the conflict. The Indian chief of defence staff admitted last week that Pakistan did shoot down Indian jets but he did not disclose the number and the name of the planes. The ADB board was also apprised that Kashmiris were fighting for their right to self-determination and India should not blame Pakistan. Prime Minister's Narendra Modi's war hysteria has brought over seven-decade old unresolved issue of Kashmir into the global political and economic discourse. However, Pakistan needs to put its economic house in order by minimising reliance on foreign lenders and consultants. Many Indians work in these multilateral institutions. There is now a high time that the government should reduce its reliance on the foreign loans, particularly on budget support loans. The ADB's $800 million package is not meant for any development purposes and the money and guarantees will be used to build the foreign exchange reserves. The government had reached an understanding with two foreign commercial banks for a $1 billion loan on the back of the ADB's guarantees due to its low credit rating. The final term sheet and loan disbursement are subjected to the approval of the ADB's $500 million guarantee. Pakistan's gross reserves stand at $11.5 billion, which the government wants to increase to over $14 billion by the end of June. The ADB will charge a nominal upfront fee for giving the guarantee. Despite a recent rating upgrade, Pakistan's credit rating still remains low at B-Negative, which is two notches below the investment grade. Fitch upgraded Pakistan from a substantial default risk to a high risk of default rating. The ADB's $300 million policy loan is the second tranche under the Resource Mobilisation Programme, which the government wants to take for improving the tax collection by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). Pakistan had met all the prior conditions for securing the second loan tranche from the ADB. "Pakistan has made significant progress in improving macroeconomic conditions," said ADB Country Director for Pakistan Emma Fan. She added that the new $300 million programme backed the government's commitment to further policy and institutional reforms that would strengthen public finances and promote sustainable growth. "The programme supports far-reaching reforms to improve tax policy, administration, and compliance, while enhancing public expenditure and cash management," stated the ADB. "It also promotes digitalisation, investment facilitation, and private sector development," it added. These measures aim to reduce Pakistan's fiscal deficit and public debt, while creating space for social and development spending. The ADB said that the new programme is underpinned by a comprehensive support package — including technical assistance and close coordination with development partnersdesigned to help Pakistan build long-term fiscal resilience and stability.

According to a statement released on Tuesday, in his speech, Malik congratulated Azerbaijan's Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov and pledged Pakistan's full cooperation with the forum's transition agenda, which aims to shift from a fossil fuel-driven framework to a balanced energy mix.

The minister also detailed Pakistan's efforts to expand its gas infrastructure by encouraging local exploration, acknowledging the assistance of Azerbaijan and other partner countries in developing indigenous gas resources. He said conservation measures and reform initiatives are underway to dismantle inefficiencies and ensure long-term sustainability of the gas sector. "Despite economic challenges, Pakistan is committed to making the gas sector sustainable by dismantling inefficiencies and implementing reforms," Malik stated. "Reform is the cornerstone of the prime minister's vision for a resilient energy future." Attendees at the plenary included Azerbaijan's Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov, the Turkish Deputy Minister of Energy, and Director of Energy at the European Commission Cristina Lobillo. Separately in Islamabad, Malik held a bilateral meeting with Rovshan Najaf, President of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR), to enhance energy cooperation between the two countries. The discussion focused on deepening bilateral ties, potential joint ventures, and attracting investment in Pakistan's oil and gas sector. Malik reiterated Pakistan's intent to strengthen partnerships with leading global energy firms and stressed the government's commitment to creating an investor-friendly climate. Najaf praised Pakistan's progress in the energy sector and reaffirmed SOCAR's interest in expanding cooperation with Pakistani stakeholders.
