In a drop scene over the murder of ANP Spokesman Asad Khan Achakzai who went missing five months back, the police on Saturday claimed to have arrested a Levies man who allegedly killed Achakzai during a mugging bid.

Detailing the entire murder incident, DIG Police Quetta said that a man identified as Israr was involved in murdering Asad Achakzai during a mugging bid.

“It was a blind case for us which has been solved finally as we have arrested the culprit involved in it,” he said adding that the accused was a Levies personnel. “We have also recovered the vehicle of the ANP spokesman from his possession,” he said adding that the accused had admitted snatching the vehicle from Asad Achakzai.

Narrating the incident which led to the murder, the DIG said that Asad Khan gave a lift to the Levies man, who later killed him on the way and threw his body in a ravine. “The accused killed him five months back,” the top cop said adding that the police started a search for the victim soon after a case of him going missing came to the surface.

Responding to the matter, Chief Minister Jam Kamal said that the government tried its best for the recovery of Asad Khan and went all out during the investigation to trace the culprits involved in the entire episode.

Amid ongoing attacks by militants, Afghanistan on Tuesday launched its coronavirus vaccination drive with the hopes of inoculating thousands of Afghans against the disease that has wrecked havoc in the world. Doctors, security personnel, and journalists were among the first volunteers to receive doses of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, donated earlier this month by India. "Today, I congratulate the people of Afghanistan for the launch of the first stage of COVID-19 vaccine [drive] with 500,000 doses of vaccines. This is a big opportunity for the people of Afghanistan," said Afghan President Ashraf Ghani as the first jabs were administered. "We don't expect any miracles, but let's help this campaign to be implemented justly," the country's acting health minister Waheed Majroh added. Afghanistan is believed to have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic in the last year, but limited testing and a ramshackle healthcare sector have hampered its abi...

India’s evil plans against Pakistan will never succeed: FM Qureshi

Image
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Sunday the government has strong evidence that India is patronising terrorists and other banned organisations to create unrest in Pakistan, but it will not succeed in its nefarious designs. While addressing a ceremony at the Union Council Multaniwala in his hometown, FM Qureshi said the neighbouring country is conspiring to destabilise us. The foreign minister said India had earmarked billions of rupees to damage the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. Similarly, the FM added that India was also sabotaging the peace process in Afghanistan. “Disinfo Lab had exposed India’s conspiracies also. Due to inhuman measures by the Narendra Modi government, the voices are also being heard against the fascist regime from inside India. Instead of addressing local issues, the Indian government was bent on hatching conspiracy against Pakistan. India’s nefarious designs could create law and order situation in the region and the consequence ...

As PDM deadline for govt to quit passes, Bilawal says opposition 'must now force removal of puppets'

Image
PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Sunday called upon the joint opposition to "force the removal of puppets", after the January 31 deadline set by the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) for Prime Minister Imran Khan to quit passed without any signs of the government retreating. "The selected PM has failed to resign by the deadline set by PDM," Bilawal said in a series of tweets, adding that the opposition alliance had given "this illegitimate regime the opportunity to step aside respectfully and allow for a transition to democracy with free, fair and transparent elections".

COVID-19 pandemic: IMF brings down Pakistan's development projection for FY2021

Image
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has lowered Pakistan’s growth projection by about one percentage point for the current fiscal year driven by weaknesses in the second half of 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Middle East and Central Asia released on Monday said the markdowns in growth during the second half of 2020 are also reflected for Egypt and Pakistan, both countries that lowered their fiscal year 2020/21 (which starts July 2020) projections by about one percentage point, driven by weaknesses in the second half of 2020. Pakistan envisaged GDP growth rate at 1% for the current fiscal year against a negative 0.4% for last financial year 2019/20 that ended on June 30, 2020. IMF’s projection indicates that the economic recovery in the current fiscal year would remain much lower than the expectation of government. Egypt, Jordan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Pakistan, and Tunisia have received emergency assistance under the rapid financing instrument from the IMF, while Afghanista...

Biden, Putin hold first telephonic conversation

Image
US President Joe Biden and Russian leader Vladimir Putin held their first conversation as counterparts on Tuesday in a phone call that underscored troubled relations and the delicate balance between the former Cold War foes. According to the White House, Biden raised concerns about the arrest of opposition figure Alexei Navalny, Russia’s alleged involvement in a massive cyber-espionage campaign and reports of Russian bounties on American troops in Afghanistan. The Kremlin, meanwhile, focused on Putin’s response to Biden’s proposal to extend the last remaining US-Russia arms control treaty. While the readouts from the two capitals emphasised different elements, they both suggested that US-Russia relations will be guided, at least at the beginning of the Biden administration, by a desire to do no harm but also no urgency to repair existing damage. The two presidents agreed to have their teams work urgently to complete a five-year extension of the New START nuclear weapons treaty tha...
