Big Ban Theory
If we accept his lordship’s remark as the complete truth, then it becomes natural to expect that complete justice shall be in complete compliance with the complete truth. The Supreme Court, seemingly after adopting judgments of the ECP and Peshawar High Court, has simultaneously set them aside, how? The government’s announcement to ban PTI as a political party has given birth to yet another political controversy. We must also recognize that the government is not the deciding authority to ban a political party in Pakistan. The government can only recommend the imposition of a ban on a political party to the Supreme Court.

Rising Corruption in Indian Army
The terrible specter of corruption casts a shadow over the Indian Army amidst the regimented columns and steady marches. Over 1,080 incidences of corruption have been reported since 2010, with 1,046 of those cases involving the Indian Army constituting the vast majority. The Indian Military Forces, especially the Army, are rife with corruption and nepotism. Hindutva ideology infiltration of the Indian armed forces is also having a negative impact on Dalits serving in the armed forces, aggravating internal disputes. For Muslims, Christians, and Sikh communities, the fascist BJP government and the Indian army have proven to be the most threatening organizations.

Facing the heat
THE United Nations has warned that 2024 could well be the hottest year on record. The rapidly rising temperatures mean glaciers melting, rising sea levels, more flooding as well as major losses in agricultural harvests. Pakistan has been grappling with social, economic and political instability since its inception. Consequently, owing to rampant unemployment, malnutrition, socio-political instability and inflation, it is no surprise that climate change is not at the forefront of public discourse. Bloomberg reports that Pakistan, as the fifth largest cotton producer in the world, is witnessing its cotton crop wilt due to extremely high temperatures.

Human migration as a non-traditional security threat
Its scope has broadened to include human security and global harmony beyond national interest. Considering the contemporary security concept, human migration can also be categorized as a non-traditional security threat. Human migration is not a new phenomenon. The industrialization period, the era of decolonization, and the World Wars have all contributed to the global migration process. Interestingly, human migration also presents opportunities, such as diversity playing a crucial role in innovations and socio-cultural enhancement in many areas.
