Israel’s interception of Gaza flotilla draws global ire as Pakistan demands release of detained activists

  Pakistan and several other  countries  on Thursday condemned Israel’s “dastardly attack” on the  Global Sumud Flotilla  (GSF) after its forces intercepted the flotilla heading to break Israel’s siege of Gaza and deliver aid. Israeli forces  began intercepting  the flotilla’s latest bid to reach Gaza late last night, the fleet said. Israel has so far intercepted 39 boats with foreign activists on board to Gaza, leaving only one vessel still sailing towards the Palestinian enclave, the flotilla organisers said today. The 45-vessel flotilla, with activists and politicians including  Greta Thunberg  on board, left Spain last month to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, where the United Nations has warned of famine. Former Pakistani senator  Mushtaq Ahmad Khan  was also on board. Hours after Tel Aviv’s move drew global condemnation, Israeli foreign ministry posted on X that all on board the flotilla were safe would be “deported to Europe”...

Jahangir Tareen Launches 'Istehkam-e-Pakistan': A New Political Chapter Begins


 In a significant development, former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Jahangir Tareen has announced the formation of his new political party, which will be called "Istehkam-e-Pakistan." The confirmation came from Awn Chaudhry, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Sports and Tourism, who is a close ally of Tareen.

Tareen's decision to establish a new political entity marks a turning point in his political career, especially after his disqualification for life by the Supreme Court. Following the recent political unrest in May, which resulted in the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan and subsequent arrests of several PTI leaders, Tareen has emerged from oblivion and taken an active role in shaping the political landscape.

Sources reveal that Tareen is scheduled to hold a press conference where he will unveil his party's manifesto and officially announce its name. The anticipation surrounding this event highlights the level of interest and curiosity among political observers and the public.

During a dinner hosted at Aleem Khan's residence, Tareen gathered his supporters and allies, discussing his plans and garnering their confidence in his new political venture. The mass exodus of PTI leaders following the arrests has provided Tareen with an opportunity to form his new party, with many former ruling party defectors expected to join him.

Tareen, who previously held the position of secretary general within the PTI, faced disqualification in 2017 due to allegations of dishonesty. However, his return to the political scene showcases his resilience and determination to make a lasting impact.

The launch of "Istehkam-e-Pakistan" signifies Tareen's vision for a more robust and progressive Pakistan. As the political landscape undergoes a transformation, Tareen aims to capitalize on the changing dynamics, offering an alternative platform for like-minded individuals who share his vision for the country's future.

The forthcoming press conference promises to shed more light on the party's agenda, goals, and strategies. It will be a crucial moment for Tareen and his supporters, as they look forward to reshaping the political narrative and making a meaningful contribution to Pakistan's democratic process.

With the hashtag #IstehkamEPakistan gaining momentum, social media platforms have become abuzz with discussions, speculations, and support for Tareen's new political endeavor. The launch of this party presents a fresh chapter in Pakistan's political landscape, offering an alternative for those seeking change and progress.

As the journey of "Istehkam-e-Pakistan" begins, it remains to be seen how Tareen and his team will navigate the challenges ahead and carve out their place in the political arena. The political landscape is ever-evolving, and the emergence of a new party adds another layer of complexity to the nation's political discourse.

The coming days and weeks will undoubtedly witness intense debates, discussions, and analysis surrounding Tareen's new venture. As political alliances shift and realign, the dynamics of power and influence will undergo transformations, making way for new narratives and possibilities.

Pakistan's political landscape is brimming with anticipation as Jahangir Tareen embarks on this new chapter. With his experience, resources, and determination, Tareen aims to carve out a distinct path, championing the cause of progress and development for the betterment of the nation.
