The US's recalibration of its Pakistan policy
There have been several signs of a strategic realignment between Pakistan and the US, whose relations had fallen to a low after US President Donald Trump declared seven years ago that Islamabad had given Washington 'nothing but lies and deceit' in return for billions of dollars in aid. In addition to the Pakistan army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, travelling to the US on two occasions in as many months, and even being hosted at the White House by Trump, the US has declared the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and its proxy, The Majeed Brigade, as a foreign terrorist organisation. A joint statement issued after a Pakistan-US counter-terrorism dialogue in Islamabad on Tuesday had Washington lauding Islamabad's 'continued successes in containing terrorist entities that pose a threat' to the region. It would have been instructive if the US had furnished some instances of these successes, especially at a time when anti-India groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba and their proxies maintain extensive networks on Pakistani soil. India has said Munir's recent nuclear threats only reflect Pakistan's irresponsible attitude towards its nuclear arsenal and its role as a driver of instability across the region. (AP) Trump's claim that he brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May has certainly not endeared him to many in New Delhi's decision-making circles, and the latest joint statement too is unlikely to go down well, coming as it does in the wake of the nuclear brinkmanship by Munir during his latest US visit. India has said Munir's recent nuclear threats only reflect Pakistan's irresponsible attitude towards its nuclear arsenal and its role as a driver of instability across the region. Pakistan, especially in the areas bordering Afghanistan, continues to be home to all manner of terror groups that pose a clear danger to the region, and it makes little sense for the US to be seen as rewarding the Pakistani military, which has perfected the art of using terror as an instrument of State policy.

Is Munir using Trump for his Balochistan problem, or setting up a US-China game?
Washington's terror designation of BLA aligns with strategic mineral interests in Pakistan, bolstering Asim Munir's crackdown on dissent and signaling a new phase in US-Pakistan ties amid growing competition with China The Trump administration's decision to designate the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) appears to be closely linked to growing US interest in Pakistan's untapped rare earth reserves, according to The Economic Times report, citing sources familiar with the matter. The US move also strengthens Field Marshal Asim Munir's position in cracking down on Baloch political activists while paving the way for American mining companies to gain a foothold in Pakistan's largest province, believed to hold significant rare earth deposits. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD According to the report, the move, which comes amid deepening US-Pakistan relations in Donald Trump's second term, is being viewed as part of a broader strategic effort to reduce American dependence on Chinese rare earth exports. Over the past six months, Islamabad and Washington have intensified discussions on rare earth extraction — a shift seen as pivotal in resetting bilateral ties, added the report. Pakistan 'persuades' Trump Pakistan seems to have successfully persuaded the Trump administration that controlling BLA is crucial for accessing 'critical minerals' in the region, reported ET, citing analysts. The BLA has long opposed state presence and foreign investments in Balochistan, a resource-rich but conflict-ridden province where China's controversial China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) also runs. The Trump administration's growing interest in Balochistan's rare earth potential comes amid stalled US-China trade talks, where Beijing's near-monopoly on rare earth supply has been a sticking point. Trump has previously signaled intentions to diversify sources for strategic minerals, a push that has now brought Pakistan into sharper focus. Diplomatic observers remain cautious, noting that any suggestion of US military involvement in Balochistan — similar to the Afghan model — could face serious resistance, reported ET. The region's rugged terrain and a populace wary of foreign intervention may replicate the challenges faced during America's two-decade-long war in Afghanistan. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD China's response uncertain While Beijing has historically supported Pakistan's actions against BLA, its response to increased US economic and strategic engagement in Balochistan remains uncertain. China has heavily invested in infrastructure projects across the province, particularly around the strategic Gwadar Port, a CPEC centerpiece. Local opposition to Chinese-funded ventures has simmered for years, with residents accusing Beijing of exploiting the region's resources without delivering economic benefits or respecting local autonomy. This presents a delicate balancing act for both Islamabad and Beijing in managing foreign influence. The timing of the BLA designation also coincides with Munir's visit to Washington and a newly inked US-Pakistan trade framework. While Pakistan currently holds a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council, it's unclear whether it will push for further international action against BLA. However, sources indicate that the militant group's lack of affiliation with Al-Qaeda or its affiliates makes a designation under the UN's 1267 Sanctions Committee unlikely. Still, the US move could set the stage for a rare moment of alignment between China and the US, both backing Pakistan's internal security concerns — although for very different reasons.

National Sports Governance Bill: 'No cricket tours to Pakistan since 2008' — Govt outlines authority over India's global sports participation
India vs Pakistan (File Photo) NEW DELHI: India's landmark National Sports Governance Bill, passed smoothly in Parliament, will be implemented within the next six months, with 'drafting of rules and identification of infrastructure' already underway, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has said. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'This bill will be implemented as soon as possible. Within the next six months, all procedures will be completed to ensure 100 per cent implementation,' Mandaviya told PTI in his first interview after the legislation cleared both Houses. Calling it 'the single biggest reform in sports since independence', he said the aim was to ensure the new National Sports Board (NSB) and National Sports Tribunal (NST) are 'fully functional at the earliest possible date consistent with statutory and procedural requirements. ' Poll Do you believe the National Sports Governance Bill will positively impact Indian sports? Yes, definitely No, not at all It may have some impact A key provision of the bill gives the government discretionary power to 'impose reasonable restrictions' on international participation of Indian teams and athletes under 'extraordinary circumstances'. 'The provision empowering the government to stop international participation is a standard safeguard seen in sports laws globally, intended for use in extraordinary circumstances,' Mandaviya said. 'It covers situations such as national security threats, diplomatic boycotts, or global emergencies, and is not directed against any particular country.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Undo He cited cricket ing precedent to underline the policy's real-world context: '...full senior men's cricket tours to Pakistan have not taken place since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and high-profile matches have often been moved to neutral venues. Such decisions are taken on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the Ministry of External Affairs and security agencies.' 'This reflects the Modi government's clarity in protecting national interest while upholding global sporting obligations,' he added. Mandaviya said the challenges in bringing the bill to life included over 350 ongoing sports-related court cases, balancing Olympic Charter autonomy with accountability, and the varied professionalism across federations. Consensus came after 'more than 60 rounds of structured discussions' with state ministers, NSFs, athletes, and coaches. 'I gave an entire day to NSF representatives, an entire day to athletes, coaches. I gave presentations to explain each and every clause of the bill. I explained to them why I think the clauses were needed. I did not impose, I asked for their feedback,' he said, adding that he even went through 'each and every one of the 600 public suggestions.' Former sports minister Ajai Maken, who drafted an earlier version in 2011, was also consulted. 'In 2013, honourable Ajay Maken ji brought this bill to the cabinet but it could not be passed... vested interests within NSFs... were against coming under any kind of governance scrutiny,' Mandaviya said.
