Global Sikh community thanked for solidarity
Punjab Minister for Minorities Affairs Ramesh Singh Arora has expressed deep gratitude to the global Sikh community for their strong show of solidarity with Pakistan and its armed forces amidst recent regional developments.
In a statement issued on Monday, Arora lauded the unity and ideological clarity demonstrated by Sikhs across the world, saying, "The Sikh nation has once again proven that it does not compromise on the principles of peace, brotherhood and truth."
He noted that Sikhs living in countries such as India, the United States, Canada, various European nations and Switzerland had shown unwavering support for Pakistan's stance. "This is a historic message that truth knows no borders," he added.
The minister said that attempts by certain hostile elements to create discord within the Sikh community had failed.
He highlighted the community's collective resilience and cohesion. A song released by young Indian Sikhs was described by Arora as a courageous and conscience-stirring message that resonated globally.
He also praised the constructive and peaceful role of international Sikh bodies, including the World Sikh Parliament, noting that the teachings of Baba Guru Nanak Dev Ji continue to guide humanity towards peace, tolerance and equality.
"The Sikh community in Pakistan stands firmly with the Constitution, the armed forces and national institutions," he affirmed.
"We are not a minority; we are loyal citizens of Pakistan and stand shoulder to shoulder with our armed forces and our nation in every time of trial," he added.

Budget unveiled amid standoff
A political standoff erupted on Friday over the convening of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Assembly session to present the provincial budget for the fiscal year 2025-26. The dispute began when the Governor refused to summon the assembly session scheduled for June 13, prompting the government to take independent action. In response to the governor's refusal, the ruling party submitted a requisition signed by 40 members of the Assembly to the acting Secretary of the Assembly, Syed Muhammad Mair. Acting swiftly, the Speaker summoned the assembly session within two hours, and the budget along with the Finance Bill for the next fiscal year was tabled at 3pm. The provincial government had sent a formal summary to the Governor a day earlier, requesting him to convene the Assembly session on June 13. Initially, the Governor House even issued details confirming receipt of the summary. However, on Friday, the Governor House issued a revised statement, indicating a standoff between Governor Faisal Karim Kundi and Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. The new statement declared that the Governor had decided not to return the summary but also would not sign it immediately. He emphasized that, under the Constitution, he has 14 days to act on such a summary and is not obligated to sign it on the same day. Governor Kundi stated, "I have received the summary to convene the Assembly session and I am reviewing it. I am not bound to sign it today. I will do so only after fulfilling all constitutional and legal requirements. No one can force me to sign it immediately — neither the Chief Minister nor anyone else through threats or pressure." The Governor further remarked, "I will not be intimidated by groups that attack the state or those who fuel corruption in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. The Chief Minister should refrain from his hollow threats."

Achakzai warns of proxy war fallout
Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) Chairman Mahmood Khan Achakzai has raised alarm over rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Iran and Israel, warning of serious repercussions for Pakistan. Speaking at a press conference in Quetta, the veteran politician and head of the Movement for the Protection of the Constitution of Pakistan urged the nation to avoid becoming entangled in external conflicts, stating, "Proxy wars are returning to our region - and we must wake up before it's too late." Achakzai lamented Pakistan's long-standing constitutional challenges, recalling how there were initially deliberate delays in drafting a constitution. Once established, he said, the constitution was systematically undermined. He painted a grim picture of the country's present state, describing it as mired in a deep political, constitutional, and economic crisis. The remarks came following a two-day meeting of the PkMAP's Central Executive and Working Committees. Achakzai accused the current government of lacking legitimacy, stating that the public mandate had been stolen and that the Constitution was being openly violated. "If this government remains in power, it will inflict irreparable damage on the country," he warned. Citing a recent World Bank report, Achakzai noted that more than 45 percent of Pakistan's population now lives below the poverty line. He criticized the disproportionate allocation of the national budget towards debt servicing and defense, at the expense of public welfare. The PkMAP chief further denounced the judiciary, media, and ruling elites for failing to safeguard democratic principles, and proposed the seizure of illegal assets from public officials to help offset national debt. Achakzai reiterated his demand for the immediate release of PTI founder Imran Khan and other political detainees.

European shares tumble as Israel-Iran conflict escalates
European shares closed lower on Friday as Israel's wide-scale strike against Iran triggered a broad market selloff, with investors rushing to safe-haven assets amid an already uncertain trade environment. The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.9%, briefly hitting its lowest level in three-weeks. The index also marked its fifth consecutive declining session and longest losing streak since September 2024. Israel launched a barrage of strikes across Iran, saying it had attacked nuclear facilities and missile factories. The news sent global risk assets lower and investors moved into traditional safe havens like the dollar and gold. Though Washington said it had no part in the attack, U.S. President Donald Trump, Israel's main ally, suggested that Iran had brought the attack on itself by resisting a U.S. ultimatum in talks to restrict its nuclear programme. Most regional stock bourses finished in the red, with Germany's DAX ending 1.1% lower after data showed German inflation eased to 2.1% in May, confirming preliminary data. 'If this is over quickly, we'll see a fairly quick recovery and the markets basically are discounting the possibility that this drags out,' said Patrick Armstrong, chief investment officer at Plurimi Wealth. 'Our view is that it probably will be very short lived because Iran isn't in a position to respond meaningfully, given the power dynamics between the two countries'. Most STOXX sub-sectors clocked losses, with auto stocks leading declines, down 2.2%. Travel and leisure also dropped 2% - with airline operators ICAG, Lufthansa and Ryanair among the biggest laggards as many airlines cleared out of the airspace over Israel, Iran, Iraq and Jordan and crude oil prices surged. Energy stocks advanced 0.6% as crude oil prices jumped close to 6% on worries about a disruption in Middle East oil supplies. Shipping groups Maersk advanced 4.2% and Hapag-Lloyd gained almost 1%, respectively, as analysts flagged upside risks to freight rates amid the supply disruptions. Defence companies also jumped, with Germany's Rheinmetall up 2.7% and UK's BAE Systems adding 2.9%. A measure of European volatility also shot up to its highest level since May 26. The benchmark index STOXX 600 posted a weekly decline, as investors were unimpressed by the outcome of U.S.-China talks earlier this week, and had doubts over an EU trade deal with the U.S. before Trump's July 8 tariff deadline.
