Haval Pakistan Announces Good News About Car Prices

  While leading automakers such as Pak Suzuki and Kia have raised vehicle prices following the implementation of new taxes under the Federal Budget 2025–26, Sazgar Engineering has taken a different approach. In an official announcement, the company stated that it will absorb the cost of the newly introduced New Energy Vehicles (NEV) Adoption Levy. As a result, Haval vehicle prices will remain unchanged. This decision comes at a time when Pak Suzuki Motor Company and Kia Lucky Motors increased their prices, citing the increased sales tax rate and additional levies introduced in the new fiscal policy. Suzuki models like the Alto, Cultus, and Swift saw noticeable price hikes, while Kia increased rates across most of its popular vehicles, including Sportage and Picanto. Sazgar, on the other hand, emphasized its commitment to customer welfare by maintaining price stability. “As a responsible and customer-focused organization, Sazgar has consistently taken proactive measures to protect t...

Nawaz Sharif's Imminent Return and the Election Landscape: A Significant Political Turn


 As Pakistan gears up for its upcoming general elections, a pivotal announcement has emerged from the nation's political forefront. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently declared that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif is set to return to the country next month, marking a momentous development that holds implications for both the legal arena and the electoral landscape.

Nawaz Sharif's Return on the Horizon

The anticipation surrounding Nawaz Sharif's return has been a subject of discussion for quite some time. In a candid interview with Hamid Mir on Geo News' Capital Talk programme, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif shed light on the matter, stating that his elder brother Nawaz would come back to Pakistan next month. The announcement, although without an exact date, resonates strongly as Nawaz Sharif's presence has been absent from the Pakistani political scene due to self-imposed exile in London since November 2019.

Facing the Law and Leading the Campaign

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's announcement also encompassed Nawaz Sharif's intentions upon his return. He stated that Nawaz Sharif will not only face the law but will also assume a leadership role in the upcoming election campaign. This assertion underscores the significance of Nawaz Sharif's influence within the PML-N party and the broader political context of Pakistan. Nawaz Sharif's return and active participation could potentially reshape the dynamics of the electoral discourse.

A Timeline of Challenges

Nawaz Sharif's journey has been marked by a series of legal and political challenges. His departure to London in 2019 for medical treatment came after his conviction in accountability court graft cases. The aftermath of the Panama Papers leak resulted in the emergence of the Al-Azizia and Aveinfeild Apartment references filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), leading to his conviction. Currently, his appeals against these convictions are pending in the relevant courts.

An Implicit Remark

The interview also witnessed an implicit remark from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. In a veiled reference to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan, who often dons a bulletproof helmet during court hearings, Shehbaz Sharif quipped, "He [Nawaz] will neither wear a hat nor a bucket." This comment encapsulates the political nuances and rivalries that underlie Pakistan's complex political landscape.

The Path Ahead

Nawaz Sharif's return to Pakistan and his active involvement in the election campaign hold the potential to reinvigorate political discussions and debates across the nation. As the general elections approach, the anticipation surrounding this significant development will shape the discourse on legal proceedings, political strategies, and the broader vision for Pakistan's future.
