‘Gave Lifetime Immunity to Asim Munir’: India Slams Pakistan at UNSC, Cites Imran Khan Jailing

Dec 16, 2025, 04:37 PM IST

India delivered a strong rebuttal to Pakistan at the United Nations, responding to remarks made by the Pakistani representative during an open debate. India reaffirmed that the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral and inalienable part of the country and will always remain so. Calling Pakistan’s repeated references to Kashmir “unwarranted,” India said they expose Islamabad’s obsessive focus on harming India and pursuing a divisive agenda, unbecoming of a non-permanent UN Security Council member. India also addressed the Indus Waters Treaty, stating it was signed 65 years ago in good faith, but Pakistan repeatedly violated its spirit through wars and decades of cross-border terrorism. Citing tens of thousands of lives lost, including the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, India said the treaty has been placed in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably ends support for terrorism. India further criticised Pakistan’s internal political actions and made it clear that it will counter terrorism in all forms, while remaining committed to peace, security and multilateralism.

Where Is Imran Khan? Pakistan Boils As Sisters Blocked And Streets Erupt In Defiance

Dec 03, 2025, 05:12 PM IST

Pakistan remains tense as protests intensify despite Imran Khan’s sister Uzma Khan finally being permitted to meet him inside Adiala Jail. Demonstrations have spread from Pak Parliament to the Islamabad High Court, to Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, and across streets operating under Section 144, with a single demand — the release of Imran Khan. Uzma Khan’s meeting permission came amid tight security, barricades, riot police and multiple checkpoints. Her sister Aleema Khan was stopped at the Gorakhpur checkpoint after crossing Factory Naka, even as both continued consultations over Imran Khan’s health and whereabouts. Since November 4, no family member, lawyer or aide has met Imran Khan inside Adiala Jail, with no images, videos or official updates on his condition. As protests escalate in Islamabad, political tensions have spread to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where ministers including Shafiq Jan state that KP remains aligned with Imran Khan. Multiple PTI leaders, including Mashal Yousafzai, have warned that any attempt to impose Governor’s Rule in KP will be treated as a direct challenge.

Pakistan’s 27th Amendment Makes Asim Munir Most Powerful Military Chief Ever

Nov 11, 2025, 02:49 PM IST

Pakistan is undergoing a dramatic constitutional overhaul — one that centralises unprecedented military power in the hands of Field Marshal Asim Munir. The Shehbaz Sharif government has passed the 27th Amendment, creating a new “Chief of Defence Forces” post that merges command, control, and promotion authority under Munir. The change abolishes the Chairman Joint Chiefs next year and grants lifetime privileges and Field Marshal–level tenures. Islamabad claims the move was triggered by India’s Operation Sindoor, which devastated Pakistani air assets in May. But inside Pakistan, a political storm is erupting — with Imran Khan calling Munir “the most oppressive dictator” and PTI alleging the amendment is being bulldozed without scrutiny.
