Pakistan's victory inspires unity among Kashmiris
Listen to article
Pakistan's decisive victory in the recent conflict with India has reinvigorated the nation with a renewed spirit of determination, resilience, and unity.
By thwarting the enemy's malicious designs, Pakistan has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to protecting its sovereignty and national security at any cost.
Speakers at a dinner hosted in Islamabad by Altaf Ahmad Bhat, Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement (JKSM) and senior leader of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, in honor of overseas Kashmiri leaders, stressed that this military triumph must also be leveraged diplomatically.
They emphasized the need for Pakistan to mobilize special delegations to global platformsincluding the United Nations, OIC, European Union, and key world capitalsto expose India's real intentions and human rights violations in Kashmir.
Delegates should be given comprehensive briefings to present irrefutable evidence of Indian aggression, border violations, and humanitarian abuses to the international community.
Addressing the event, President of Tehreek-e-Kashmir Europe Muhammad Ghalib stated that despite its clear defeat, India continues to resort to deceitful propaganda and conspiracies. He emphasized the urgent need for national unity and collective responsibility to counter India's disinformation campaigns - particularly on social media, where fabricated news is being spread to distort the truth and mislead the international community.
He lauded the Pakistan Armed Forces for their decisive victory and a befitting response to Indian aggression, which not only protected the nation's sovereignty but also uplifted the morale of the entire nation.
Chairman JKSM Altaf Ahmad Bhat emphasized that without a just and lasting resolution to the Kashmir issue, peace in South Asia will remain elusive.
He urged the international community, especially the United Nations, to fulfill its promise of granting Kashmiris their right to self-determination.
He appealed to US President Donald Trump to play a constructive role in resolving the Kashmir issue by the aspirations of the Kashmiri people to ensure sustainable regional peace.
Highlighting the critical role of Kashmir's rivers, Bhat pointed out that the recent war has revealed how vital water resources are to Pakistan and how the country is vulnerable to Indian water aggression due to its control over rivers originating from occupied Kashmir.
He stressed that until Kashmir is liberated, Pakistan will remain susceptible to Indian blackmail over water flow.

Restive Indian state orders curfew after fresh violence
IMPHAL, INDIA: An Indian state riven by ethnic tensions imposed an internet shutdown and curfew after protesters clashed with security forces over the arrest of some members of a radical group, police said Sunday. Manipur in India's northeast has been rocked by periodic clashes for more than two years between the predominantly Hindu Meitei majority and the mainly Christian Kuki community that have killed more than 250 people. The latest violence was triggered Saturday after reports of the arrest of five members, including a commander, of Arambai Tenggol, a radical Meitei group. Incensed mobs demanding their release stormed a police post, set fire to a bus and blocked roads in parts of the state capital Imphal. Manipur police announced a curfew in five districts, including Imphal West and Bishnupur, due to the 'developing law and order situation'. 'Prohibitory orders have been issued by District Magistrates. Citizens are requested to cooperate with the orders,' the police said in a statement. Militia fighters surrender looted weapons in restive Indian state Arambai Tenggol, which is alleged to have orchestrated the violence against the Kuki community, has also announced a 10-day shutdown in the valley districts. The state's home ministry has ordered all internet and mobile data services in volatile districts to be shut off for five days in order to bring the latest unrest under control. Internet services were shut down for months in Manipur during the initial outbreak of violence in 2023, which displaced around 60,000 people from their homes according to government figures. Thousands of the state's residents are still unable to return home owing to ongoing tensions. Long-standing tensions between the Meitei and Kuki communities revolve around competition for land and public jobs. Rights activists have accused local leaders of exacerbating ethnic divisions for political gain.

Pakistan delegation visits UK after New York talks on India conflict
Listen to article A high-level Pakistani delegation led by former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has arrived in the United Kingdom following what officials described as "successful" diplomatic engagements in New York over last month's military standoff with India. The nine-member group held talks with United Nations representatives, diplomats from member states and senior US officials in an effort to present Pakistan's narrative on the recent India-Pakistan conflict and advocate for peace in South Asia. Wrapped up a pivotal peace mission leading Pakistan's high-level delegation in New York @PakistanUN_NY @PakinNY and Washington DC @PakinUSA. Grateful to Team Pakistan, your dedication was critical to our success. We stood for dialogue, dignity, and a just future. Truth and… — BilawalBhuttoZardari (@BBhuttoZardari) June 7, 2025 The latest military escalation between the India and Pakistan was triggered by an attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on April 22, when 26 civilians were killed in Pahalgam. India blamed Pakistan for orchestrating the attack, calling it terrorism—an accusation strongly denied by Islamabad. The claim led to Indian military strikes inside Pakistan, sparking days of intense cross-border hostilities between the two neighbours.

Speaking to a local news channel, lawmaker Khurram Dastgir stressed the regional impact of the water dispute and called for the restoration of the 1960 World Bank-mediated treaty, which India suspended in April. 'We explained to US officials that India's suspension of the treaty endangers the livelihood of 240 million people and undermines the region's stability,' he said. Dastgir stressed that the water dispute is a matter of survival for Pakistan, asserting the country would not compromise on it. He pointed out that the Americans initially assumed the ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump required no further involvement. "Our mission was to make them understand that intervention is necessary as India wants neither a neutral inquiry nor talks," Dastgir said. Senator Sherry Rehman, another member of the group, said the focus of the mission was to advocate for peace and ensure the water treaty and Kashmir issue remain on the international agenda. In the UK, the delegation is expected to meet senior British officials to highlight Pakistan's stance on the conflict and its broader implications. British foreign secretary David Lammy recently visited both Islamabad and New Delhi following the ceasefire. 'We want stability, but recognise the fragility of the situation, particularly in the context of terrorism,' Lammy said, referring to concerns over security in the region. He did not disclose details of discussions with Indian leaders.
