    PM forms top panel to revive Iran gas pipeline

    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has formed a high-level committee to find a mutually acceptable solution to the long-delayed Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project, which has remained stuck for more than a decade. Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik informed the Senate that the committee is examining the legal, financial and energy implications of the project. It will assess Pakistan’s potential financial exposure in the ongoing arbitration process while also considering the country’s future energy requirements. The minister was responding to a calling-attention notice raised by Senator Talha Mahmood. He said the government was seeking a negotiated solution rather than allowing the dispute to become more complicated through prolonged litigation. Describing Iran as a “brotherly country”, Malik said the leadership of Pakistan and Iran remained in contact and was working towards an amicable settlement. He noted that Iran had already completed substantial infrastructure on its side of the project. Iranian authorities have brought gas from the South Pars field towards a major city close to the Pakistani border. The dispute over the pipeline has reached international arbitration in Paris. Pakistan is therefore assessing the possible financial consequences of the project delays and the legal proceedings before deciding its next course of action. The government is also reviewing whether the pipeline can be made commercially viable. Pakistan has previously asked Iran to cut its gas price by around 50 per cent and reduce the proposed supply volume because several domestic sectors have shown limited interest in purchasing Iranian gas at existing prices. Officials have said that domestic consumers and fertiliser plants are currently receiving gas at significantly lower prices than the cost at which imported gas could be supplied through the project. Power producers have also indicated that purchasing imported gas at prices above Rs2,000 per million British thermal units would not be commercially feasible. The government has therefore been considering a lower price as a potential benchmark for making the pipeline economically sustainable. Pakistan has also indicated that it could move ahead with the project if the United States provides a waiver allowing energy cooperation with Iran despite Washington’s sanctions regime. The Iran-Pakistan pipeline, commonly known as the Peace Pipeline, was originally designed to transport Iranian natural gas to Pakistan and help address the country’s long-term energy needs. Iran completed a substantial portion of the pipeline within its territory. Pakistan, however, did not complete its section by the agreed deadline, leaving the project largely dormant. US sanctions against Iran, difficulties in securing financing and wider geopolitical tensions have complicated Pakistan’s efforts to complete the project. The issue has also resulted in legal disputes between the two countries. Iran initiated international arbitration proceedings in Paris over delays in the implementation of the project. Meanwhile, the petroleum minister told the Senate that the government was separately addressing gas-related problems in Balochistan. He said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had instructed him to engage with provincial stakeholders. Another high-level committee, headed by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, is examining gas-related issues in the province, including technical and payment-related matters. The latest move indicates that Islamabad is attempting to balance its obligations under the Iran gas project with its financial constraints, international commitments and changing energy requirements.

    Sonu Nigam explains why he will not discuss NEET protests publicly

    Sonu Nigam has addressed his decision to stay silent on the NEET protests, after a video of his reaction went viral online. The clip had sparked mixed reactions among fans and critics alike. Back in July, a video circulated showing Nigam being asked about the ongoing student protests during a media interaction. He appeared visibly uncomfortable, responding briefly before stepping away from the question entirely. The moment triggered widespread discussion on social media, with some users questioning why he chose not to comment. Nigam has now clarified his reasoning in a new interview with Bombay Times. He explained that every discussion has its own appropriate time and setting. According to Nigam, he has followed one clear rule throughout his career, staying focused strictly on the purpose of whatever event he’s attending. He said that after three decades of working in Mumbai, he’s learned to always stick to the agenda of a given occasion. Nigam added that he avoids letting conversations drift toward unrelated topics during press interactions. At the time of the viral video, Nigam was attending an event honouring the late singer Pankaj Udhas. He felt discussing an unrelated political issue there would have been inappropriate given the occasion’s purpose. He said bringing up politics during a tribute dedicated to his mentor felt disrespectful to him personally. For Nigam, staying on-topic was not avoidance, but a matter of basic professional etiquette. Nigam also revealed a personal commitment he’s made regarding public commentary. He said he promised his father he would never comment on issues he doesn’t fully understand or have proper knowledge of. He clarified that this does not mean he avoids speaking up altogether. Nigam pointed to past instances where he’s taken clear public stances, including issues like loudspeaker regulations at religious sites and royalty rights for performing artists. He said he has taken plenty of stands throughout his career and has played a role in pushing for real systemic changes. Nigam maintained that silence on one particular issue doesn’t reflect indifference, but rather a conscious choice about when and where to speak. Reactions to his explanation have remained divided, with some praising his restraint and others still critical of his initial response.

    South Korea investigates military response after US drone mistaken for threat

    South Korea has launched a review after its military nearly opened fire on a United States military drone that was initially identified as an unknown aircraft near the border with North Korea. The incident briefly raised security concerns in one of the most heavily guarded areas of the Korean Peninsula before officials confirmed the aircraft was taking part in a joint military exercise. According to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, the drone was detected on Thursday in northern Gyeonggi Province close to the border. Military personnel followed standard operational procedures after they were unable to immediately identify the aircraft. As a precaution, troops prepared to respond while continuing to track its movements. The aircraft was later confirmed to be a United States Marine Corps drone participating in combined training with South Korean forces. The incident prompted a temporary security alert in the border region. Local authorities issued evacuation warnings to residents and farmers living inside the Civilian Control Zone around Cheorwon and nearby communities. Emergency text messages sent shortly after 2 pm advised people in frontline areas to move to shelters or other safe locations until the situation became clear. After military officials confirmed the aircraft’s identity, a second message informed residents that the alert had been lifted and there was no longer any immediate danger. No shots were fired and no injuries or damage were reported. United States Forces Korea confirmed that the aircraft belonged to the US Marine Corps and was involved in a scheduled joint exercise with South Korean troops. The command said it is reviewing the circumstances that led to the misunderstanding and is working with South Korean authorities to examine the incident. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff announced that military inspectors from its readiness office would visit the Army’s 1st Corps on Friday to review how the situation was handled. The inspection will assess whether existing identification and communication procedures were properly followed and whether improvements are needed to prevent similar incidents in the future. The episode highlights the high level of military alert maintained along the border with North Korea, where tensions remain elevated. South Korean forces routinely monitor unidentified aircraft because of the possibility of North Korean military activity. Officials said troops acted according to established procedures because they could not immediately determine whether the aircraft posed a potential threat. The incident also comes shortly after another security concern involving the United States military. Earlier this week, residents living near a US military base in Pyeongtaek were briefly advised to evacuate following an incident involving white phosphorus. That event prompted some civic groups to call for an investigation and for the US military to provide a public explanation. Although the drone incident ended without violence, it has renewed attention on the challenges of coordinating military operations in a region where misunderstandings can quickly escalate. South Korean authorities are expected to use the findings of their review to strengthen communication and operational procedures during future joint exercises with United States forces.

    NCCIA under fire over social media figures, PECA cases and newspaper column complaint

    Islamabad: A controversy has erupted over the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) after a Senate committee questioned differences in social media statistics, delays in transferring PECA cases and the registration of complaints linked to a newspaper column. The Senate Standing Committee on Information and Broadcasting has sought answers from NCCIA over claims that figures shared earlier with lawmakers were later described as incorrect by its own officials. The committee questioned how NCCIA could provide one set of figures before the Senate and later have its officials reportedly distance themselves from those numbers. The dispute mainly focused on claims about fake social media accounts and content removal requests. Earlier figures suggested that around 20 percent of social media accounts were fake, but questions were raised after officials allegedly suggested that the number was much lower. The committee also questioned claims that 83 percent of content removal requests received responses from social media companies. Officials explained that a response from platforms does not always mean the request was accepted or action was taken. They said some requests were accepted while others were rejected, but companies provided replies. During the meeting, NCCIA officials defended the figures and said the data was publicly available online. They said the 83.64 percent response figure related to Meta was available through official reports and could be verified by anyone through the internet. Officials said if journalists had checked the available reports before publishing news, the confusion could have been avoided. They also explained that Pakistan’s response rate was compared with India’s figures, noting that both countries’ data was available online. Another major issue discussed was the transfer of cases under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA). The committee questioned why provinces had not transferred all relevant cases to NCCIA after PECA powers were shifted. NCCIA officials informed the committee that hundreds of cases existed across Pakistan. According to the briefing, Islamabad had 19 cases, Punjab had 268, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had 47, Balochistan had 7, Sindh had 21, Azad Jammu and Kashmir had 10, while Gilgit Baltistan had none. The total number mentioned was 372 cases across Pakistan. Officials said only nine cases from Sindh Police had so far been transferred to NCCIA, while many others were still pending. Committee members questioned why cases already before courts or under trial were not being transferred. They said earlier instructions had been issued to provincial authorities to move investigation stage cases to NCCIA, but the orders had not been fully followed. The committee decided to again contact provincial police chiefs and legal authorities to ask why transfers were delayed. The most sensitive discussion came a complaint related to journalist Toufeeq Butt’s column published in Daily Nai Baat. The column titled “Bero Corrupts” became controversial after the Pakistan Administrative Services Association filed a complaint. The complainant argued that the term used in the article was insulting and damaging to the reputation of civil servants. NCCIA officials clarified that no case had been registered against the writer. They said only a complaint was received and an inquiry process started to hear both sides. Toufeeq Butt was issued notices to provide his explanation, but officials said he did not appear after receiving two notices. The committee debated whether NCCIA should handle newspaper content or if such matters should go to press related institutions. Members warned that allowing every complaint against newspapers and journalists to reach the NCCIA could create a flood of cases. They pointed out that newspapers are regulated by the Press Council while television is handled by PEMRA. Some members argued that asking for an explanation differed from taking legal action. They said every person has the right to present their side before any decision is made. Others warned that using cybercrime laws for newspaper related matters could open a new door for pressure against journalists. Chairman directed NCCIA to refer both the complaint and the complainant to the Press Council of Pakistan, being the appropriate forum to examine the published column and decide the matter.
