NAB Laws: Has Accountability Ever Been An End Goal In Pakistan?
Brigadier (retd) Musaddiq Abbasi revealed plans to conclude corruption cases against politicians by December 2022, potentially affecting the next general elections in Pakistan. The PML-N-led government amended NAB laws to prevent disqualification, which the author criticizes as a move to weaken accountability. The article discusses historical instances of political purges and accountability being used to suppress opposition, drawing parallels with current events. The author, Hamraz Sarwani, an independent analyst and teacher at Bahria University, argues that true accountability has not been the end goal in Pakistan's political landscape, but rather a means to consolidate power.

What Does Pakistan’s New Caretaker Prime Minister Mean for Balochistan?
Senator Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar has been appointed as Pakistan's caretaker prime minister, a decision that has surprised many due to his strong military alignment and controversial stance on Balochistan. Kakar, a Pashtun from Balochistan, has a history of supporting military actions in the province and downplaying human rights abuses. His appointment raises concerns about the future of democracy in Pakistan and the ongoing conflict in Balochistan. The upcoming elections, potentially delayed until 2024, could extend Kakar's tenure, further entrenching military influence in Pakistani politics.

In Balochistan, 57 out of 65 newly elected members took the oath in a session presided over by senior MPA Zamrak Khan Piralizai.

Imran Khan: Next man in?
Imran Khan, former international cricket star and founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), is vying to become Pakistan's next prime minister. With a history of philanthropy and a brief marriage to Jemima Goldsmith, Khan entered politics to combat corruption and the political status quo. Despite initial marginalization, the PTI has gained momentum, particularly after Benazir Bhutto's assassination in 2007. Khan's rallies draw large crowds, and his party is leading in polls, attracting defectors from established parties. Political commentator Talat Hussain notes some PTI supporters view these defectors as opportunists. Khan remains confident in his electoral prospects, riding a wave of popular disaffection with the current political landscape.

Pakistan elections are next month - will young people show up?
Pakistan's upcoming elections feature familiar faces, causing despair among the youth. Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, facing corruption charges, can now run due to a Supreme Court ruling. His party, PML-N, is a frontrunner, competing against Imran Khan's PTI, which claims unfair treatment, and Bilawal Bhutto's PPP. Key issues like terrorism, economic crisis, and pollution are sidelined by election politics. With 64% of the population under 30, many young Pakistanis are hopeless about the political system and seek opportunities abroad. A 2021 Gallup Pakistan survey showed low youth voter turnout, with many wanting to emigrate. The IMF reports high inflation and negative GDP growth, while terror attacks have increased after TTP ended its ceasefire. Political parties are criticized for ignoring youth and failing to address the brain drain. The article suggests increasing youth voter turnout by making registration more accessible, engaging female voters, and involving youth in politics from school level.

Fall of religio-political parties in Feb 8 vote
Religio-political parties in Pakistan suffered a significant defeat in the February 8 elections, with major Islamist parties like JUI-F, JI, TLP, and MWM collectively securing only about 12% of the votes. The TLP emerged as the fourth-largest party, but JI and JUI-F faced setbacks in Karachi and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, respectively. The PTI, led by Imran Khan, effectively positioned itself as an outsider and resonated with voters through a broader national agenda and populist rhetoric. The rise of PTI reflects a generational shift, with Pakistan's youth prioritizing tangible issues over traditional religious affiliations. The rejection of Islamist parties may risk fostering resentment among their supporters, potentially benefiting extremist groups like the TTP. The association of some religious groups with militant organizations has also damaged the public image of Islamist parties.

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION / HATE-CRIME
The article reports on a series of violent attacks against the Christian community in Jaranwala, Punjab province, Pakistan. Over a hundred radicals destroyed twenty-one Christian churches and a hundred houses, following allegations of blasphemy against two Christian brothers. The police were accused of delayed action, allowing the violence to continue for hours. The Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TLP) party is said to have incited the mob, which led to the arrest of 140 suspects under various sections of the Pakistan Penal Code and the Anti-Terrorism Act. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) suggested that the attacks were part of an organized campaign of hatred. The article also discusses the broader context of religious fundamentalism in Pakistan, the government's concessions to TLP, and recent legislative changes that increase punishments for blasphemy, raising concerns among minorities.
