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...
In a recent turn of events, social media has been buzzing with claims suggesting that Iran’s recent aerial strike on Pakistani territory was the result of prior consultations with the Pakistani government. However, a closer look reveals a different story.
The Iranian strikes, supposedly targeting bases of the militant group Jaish al-Adl in Balochistan, drew swift condemnation from Islamabad. Iran insisted that the action was aimed at combating terrorists on Pakistani soil, asserting that they had communicated with Pakistan’s interim Foreign Minister, Jalil Abbas Jilani, beforehand.
Digging into the details, an investigation into the 11:20 minute mark of an interview raised eyebrows. The Iranian foreign minister’s quote, referencing a conversation with Jilani, was interpreted by the circulating claim as contact with the entire Pakistan government. However, a careful analysis suggests a misinterpretation, as the conversation pertained specifically to targeting Iranian terrorists within Pakistan.
The fact-checking team found no evidence of official communication between the foreign ministers before the incident but noted that both countries issued press releases about a telephonic conversation a day after the attack. Intriguingly, examining the language used in these releases revealed that the conversation occurred in the aftermath of the Jan 16 attack, not beforehand.
This revelation challenges the initial narrative, shedding light on the importance of scrutinizing claims circulating on social media. While tensions between Iran and Pakistan escalate, understanding the factual context becomes crucial in deciphering the true sequence of events.
In a world where information travels at the speed of a click, separating fact from fiction becomes paramount. This incident serves as a reminder that careful scrutiny and fact-checking are essential tools in navigating the complexities of global events. As the situation unfolds, it remains imperative to rely on verified information to form an accurate understanding of the dynamics at play.
