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...

Bhutto Scion Withdraws from Pakistan PM Race, Says Party Won't Be Part of Government



In a surprising turn of events, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, the chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), announced his withdrawal from the race for Pakistan's prime minister. Bhutto-Zardari stated that his party would instead support the candidate for the prime minister's post backed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), led by former premier Nawaz Sharif. This decision comes after last week's elections failed to produce a clear majority for any party, leading to political uncertainty in the country.


The Coalition Efforts:

Following the inconclusive election results, talks between the PPP and the PML-N were initiated to form a coalition government. The aim was to gather the required number of 169 seats in the National Assembly. However, Bhutto-Zardari's announcement indicates a deviation from this plan. The move comes after Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, the winner of the most seats in the NA, rejected the possibility of a coalition with either the PPP or the PML-N. Instead, the PTI plans to forge alliances with religious parties to form coalition governments in various provinces.


The Motivation Behind the Decision:

Bhutto-Zardari explained that the PPP is not in a position to join the federal government on its own. The party is not interested in securing ministries but is gravely concerned about the political chaos and instability in the country. With the aim of restoring political stability, the PPP has chosen to support the PML-N on an issue-by-issue basis, particularly in important votes and the election of the prime minister.


The Path Forward:

The PPP has formed a committee to engage with other political parties and discuss the formation of a government. The committee's mandate is to ensure that political stability is restored in Pakistan. The committee will also address crucial matters such as the national budget, the election of the prime minister, and important legislation. Additionally, the PPP plans to field its candidates for positions such as the National Assembly speaker, chairman of the Senate, and president.


Acceptance of Election Results:

Despite having concerns, the PPP has accepted the results of the general elections in the larger interest of the country. Bhutto-Zardari emphasized the need for all political parties to address their shortcomings to strengthen the democratic process and avoid criticism in future elections.


International Perspective:

The recent elections in Pakistan have disappointed foreign partners and rivals alike. Observers suggest that the results reflect a protest by voters against perceived military involvement in politics. However, the military denies interfering in political matters. The presence of independent candidates backed by Imran Khan, who is currently in jail, has further complicated the political landscape. This situation raises concerns about political instability in a country where the military has historically played a significant role in security and foreign affairs.


Conclusion:

Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari's withdrawal from the race for Pakistan's prime minister has added a new twist to the country's political scenario. By supporting the candidate backed by the PML-N, the PPP aims to restore political stability and prevent further chaos. The formation of a coalition government remains uncertain as parties navigate the complex post-election landscape. However, it is clear that Pakistan faces significant challenges in achieving political stability and implementing necessary reforms. The international community closely watches these developments, recognizing the importance of a stable and prosperous Pakistan for regional and global security.
