Through this newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of es­teemed individuals in Pakistan who hold positions of power to an alarm­ing narrative concerning the mis­treatment of children. According to the current circumstances, the mal­treatment of children, their exploi­tation through trafficking, involv­ing them in menial tasks, subjecting them to injustice and abuse, and re­garding them solely as a means to generate income have become dis­tressingly pervasive. I aspire to ac­quaint the leaders of our nation with these issues because such treatment of children has a profound and det­rimental impact, playing a delete­rious role in our society. It renders children feeling feeble and vulner­able, leading them to seek retribu­tion, refuse forgiveness, mistreat others, and hold others accountable for their own circumstances. By doing so, we can eliminate these pressing issues and empower individuals to effec­tuate a positive difference in their own lives and the lives of others.

In the realm of intelligence and national security, this principle is vital as it ensures the agencies can fulfil their constitutional duties while respecting the rule of law. This approach is not just a matter of administrative practice; it is a fundamental safeguard against jeopardising national security. The recent audio leak case has raised pertinent questions about electronic surveillance, privacy, and the security of confidential discussions. Balancing national security with individual privacy and civil rights is a delicate act. The government’s commitment to transparency and addressing the issue is commendable, and by implementing similar steps, a balanced approach to national security and privacy can be achieved.

Before explaining the real cause of the current misery of Palestinians, let us first refresh what Nakba is about? Palestinians around the globe mark the Nakba to reminisce systematically designed ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The remaining 22 per cent was divided into what are now the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip. Amid this Craig Mokhiber, Director of the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, dropped a conscience-jarring letter to his boss, saying he was quitting over UN failures in Palestine and elsewhere. It is a stunning historic irony that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in the same year that the Nakba was perpetrated against the Palestinian people,” Mokhiber wrote.

In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has urged the world community to redouble its efforts to settle the Kashmir dispute as per the United Nations resolutions to reduce such catastrophe in South Asia. In a statement, the APHC spokesman said that the United Nations and the world powers has either forgotten the Kashmir dispute or they are deliberately ignoring it even though it is one of the oldest unresolved disputes on the UN agenda. He said that India has enforced black laws like Armed Forces Special Powers Act, Public Safety Act and Unlawful Act in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir to kill, arrest and terrorize innocent and unarmed Kashmiris.

Despite Dortmund’s recent setback on domestic soil—a 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich—they enter their 150th Champions League game today and you better be sure they will try do everything and anything to secure the dub. Newcastle will try to sustain their positive momentum following the controversial Premier League win against Arsenal last weekend, marked by Anthony Gordon’s VAR-validated goal. Newcastle, riding high after defeating Manchester United and ending a 20-year Champions League away win drought, faces more than a few injury problems, though that’s nothing new at this point. Win it, and see BVB off the Champions League. “He’s competing with very good players in his position, that has to be noted, so let’s wait and see what Gareth does.

The Viola reacted this summer by offloading the latter pair and buying M’Bala Nzola and Lucas Beltrán. For now, though, I’d like to focus on Nzola, because it’s very strange that he’s struggled as much as he has. M'Bala Nzola was able to score 13 goals last season for Spezia receiving passes from Mehdi Bourabia.. My aim was to see what ways Nzola usually contributes to goals. More than that, though, he’s pretty good at controlling a long thump over everyone’s heads, holding off a defender, and then either scoring himself or setting up a teammate.

MUZAFFARABAD - Jammu Martyrs Day in memory of the massacre of Muslims by Hindu extremists who were on the way to Pakistan on November 6, 1947, was observed in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on Monday with a pledge to continue the liberation movement in occupied Kashmir. While addressing the rally, the speakers said that on November 6, 1947, millions of Muslims were massacred in Jammu. Speakers said that millions of Muslim citizens were forcibly evicted from their homes and forced to leave the state. They were of the view that the genocide of Muslims in Jammu was an organized plan to turn Muslims into a minority. They demanded the United Nations to implement its resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir to stop the genocide of Muslims under Indian occupation.
