Loud Thinking

Pakistan today stands at a crossroads. Once richer than India and China at the time of independence, the country now finds itself sinking deeper into poverty, corruption, and terrorism. Almost half of Pakistan’s population—44.7% according to the World Bank’s June 2025 figures—lives below the poverty line, struggling to survive on less than $4.20 a day. This is not just an economic crisis; it is a failure of governance that has betrayed the people for decades.

The Root of the Problem: Elite Capture

Pakistan’s ruling elite—across political, bureaucratic, and feudal classes—has systematically drained the nation. While ordinary citizens pay taxes on the smallest items, even a matchbox, the privileged enjoy exemptions worth a staggering $20.8 billion annually. Instead of serving the people, successive governments have built layers of bureaucracy and politics that feed corruption, nepotism, and waste.

In fact, the governance of the last 78 years has been like putting the cart before the horse—with politics dragging ahead and development left behind. The horse, which should have been the driving force of progress, was shackled by the cart of endless politics. This upside-down governance not only wrecked Pakistan’s economy but also disillusioned the very masses who sacrificed everything to create a homeland that was supposed to be the citadel of a bright future for generations to come.

The Way Forward: Power to the People

As such, in view of the total and absolute failure of the all past and current governance systems, the most suitable and just solution is to return governance to the people themselves, allowing them to exercise self-rule so their future is firmly in their own hands.

Pakistan does not need more politics—it needs zero politics in development. Governance must be shifted out of the hands of elite rulers and given directly to the people through empowered local bodies. This means complete decentralization of authority with decision-making power and financial resources flowing directly to districts and communities.

The first step should be to release the PKR 5.8 trillion wasted annually in exemptions and redirect it to local governments. If this amount is entrusted to people-driven systems, every district in Pakistan can begin its journey toward real development.

 A New Model of Governance: District Autonomy

The solution lies in restructuring governance around semi-autonomous districts, each led by self-elected mayors and sheriffs. These local leaders, directly accountable to their communities, would manage development, security, and services. This would eliminate the need for extravagant political assemblies and bloated bureaucracies that consume resources without delivering results.

Such a model ensures:

Direct accountability: Leaders answerable to their own communities, not distant capitals.

Efficient use of resources: Local priorities addressed without political middlemen.

Inclusive growth: Development reaching even the poorest households.

End to elite capture: Breaking the monopoly of the ruling class.

End to terrorism and street crimes: Improved and focused policing will drastically reduce crimes as the basic job of countering terrorism lies with Police.

Inspirational Leadership: A Guiding Light

Pakistan is fortunate today to have a civil and military leadership united in vision—capable, honest, and courageous—guided by true statesmanship and a profound sense of duty. Real leadership is about taking people from where they are to where they have never been, and Pakistan is now being led on that transformative journey toward development, peace, and enduring national strength.

Conclusion: A Last Chance for Pakistan

Pakistan cannot continue on its current trajectory of borrowing, wasting, and collapsing. Nearly 50% of its people are already trapped in poverty, and millions more risk falling into despair if bold reforms are not made now.

The answer is not more provinces, more governors, or more politics. The answer is radical decentralization—handing power, resources, and responsibility directly to the people. Only then can Pakistan escape the cycle of corruption and poverty, and finally fulfill the promise it carried at independence.

It is time to break the chains of elite rule and let Pakistan’s people govern themselves.

The Honorable Prime Minister of Pakistan, Islamabad

The Honorable Chief Minister, Government of Punjab, Lahore

Respected Sir/Madam

With the utmost urgency, I bring to your notice a national crisis of catastrophic proportions. Untreated industrial and municipal wastewater from Indian Punjab continues to enter Pakistan through the Hudiara Drain.

This transboundary pollution has been a long-neglected issue, devastating vast agricultural lands of Punjab, where crops are irrigated with toxic water, directly threatening human, livestock, and ecosystem health.

The untreated effluents are linked to serious diseases including gastrointestinal infections, skin disorders, cancers, respiratory illnesses, kidney and liver damage, and reproductive health complications. Animals consuming contaminated fodder suffer reduced productivity and mortality, worsening Pakistan’s food security. The pollutant ladened water recharges Ravi Basin near Lahore and the pollutants also seep into groundwater, endangering millions who depend on it.

1. An Environmental and Humanitarian Disaster

Independent monitoring confirms that the Hudiara drain carries deadly levels of toxic pollutants:

• Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): Exponentially above safe limits, creating oxygen-dead waters unfit for any life.
• Heavy Metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Hg, Cu, Zn): Seeping into soils, crops, and aquifers, contaminating the national food chain.
• Pathogens and sewage: Carrying high microbial loads that cause widespread disease risk.
• Toxic solids and sulphides: Poisoning soils, livestock, and aquatic ecosystems.

2. Violation of Sovereignty: Environmental Terrorism and Hostile Action

This is not a mere case of pollution. It is a continuous and deliberate cross-border assault:

• It constitutes environmental terrorism, as toxic industrial sewage is weaponized against Pakistan.
• It is equivalent to a continuous chemical and biological attack upon our soil, water, and people — carried out under the cover of industrial discharge.
• It represents a grave violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and right to security of life.

3. Urgent National and International Action Required

We urge immediate national and international intervention.

1. India must treat its wastewater at source or divert through safe alternate channels: India must be compelled under international environmental law, transboundary water agreements, and UN conventions to treat its wastewater at source or divert through safe alternate channels. Pakistan requires urgent technical, legal, and diplomatic support to stop this inflow, with monitoring by neutral international bodies (UNEP, WHO, ICJ, Indus Waters Treaty mediators).

2. Formal Notice to India: India must be given an ultimatum that this State-enabled ecological destruction must cease without delay.

3. Raise at the United Nations Security Council: Pakistan must formally present this issue to the UNSC as a case of cross-border environmental destruction, chemical and biological assault, and violation of international humanitarian and environmental law.

4. Assertion of Pakistan’s Right to Defense: Pakistan must declare that it reserves all rights under the UN Charter to defend its territory, citizens, and environment — including any measures necessary to neutralize this threat.

4. Conclusion

The continuation of this toxic inflow amounts to a sustained attack on Pakistan’s sovereignty and survival. India must be made to understand that Pakistan will no longer tolerate this aggression for a single day more. Moreover, India must pay reparations to Pakistan for all the above-mentioned damages.

We must act decisively, inform the international community, and safeguard our national interests. The lives, health, and dignity of our citizens demand nothing less.

With utmost urgency and respect,

Subject: Global Emergency Appeal to Save Humanity from Plastic Poison Pollution

Excellencies, Esteemed Leaders, and Fellow Citizens of Earth,

I write to you with deep urgency on behalf of humanity and future generations. Our planet is facing a silent catastrophe more deadly than many wars and more enduring than any pandemic: the unchecked spread of plastic pollution.

Every human being, every animal, every ocean, every river is now contaminated with plastic poison. Scientific studies reveal that a single cup of tea brewed in a plastic-infused teabag releases up to 14 billion microplastic particles into the human body. Bottled water carries trillions of microplastics. These particles now exist in our lungs, blood, placenta, and even brains.

This is not waste alone — this is toxic infiltration of life itself, a slow march toward extinction.

Why Plastic Pollution is the “New Carbon Crisis”

Plastics are fossil fuel derivatives; their production fuels climate change.

Unlike CO₂, plastics do not dissolve or decay — they accumulate endlessly, poisoning food chains.

Microplastics in oceans now outnumber plankton which are the foundation of the marine food web and phytoplankton produce around 50% of the world’s oxygen and also help regulate the global carbon cycle by absorbing CO₂, threatening the base of marine life.

Toxic additives in plastics are linked to cancers, infertility, hormonal disruption, and developmental disorders.

The poorest nations bear the heaviest burden, as plastic waste from the wealthy world is dumped upon them.

This is nothing less than an existential crisis for life on Earth.

Immediate Global Call to Action

I respectfully urge the United Nations, global leaders, and all citizens of Earth to adopt the following measures without delay:

1. Global Awareness

Every TV news bulletin, every newspaper front page, in every local language, must carry the daily warning:

  “Plastic is deadly poison for every living being.”

International organizations should fund mass education campaigns equating plastic pollution with tobacco and asbestos.

2. Universal Labeling

All plastic products (including teabags, food packaging, and microplastic-containing cosmetics) must bear bold warning labels, similar to cigarette packs:

  “This product contains deadly plastic that poisons humans and nature.”

3. Global Plastic Reduction Treaty

Negotiate a legally binding global treaty, modeled on the Paris Climate Agreement, with strict targets for reducing production of virgin plastics.

Impose global bans on the most harmful single-use plastics (EPS foam/thermopole, plastic straws, microbeads, non-recyclable sachets).

4. Plastic Credit System

Establish a Plastic Credit Mechanism, akin to carbon credits, where every kilogram of plastic removed from oceans, rivers, or landfills is certified and tradable.

Incentivize communities, especially in developing nations, to collect and recycle plastic waste, turning pollution into livelihood opportunities.

5. Innovation & Alternatives

Massive funding for research into biodegradable, plant-based packaging.

Tax incentives for industries shifting to circular economy models.

A global prize (like a “Nobel Prize for Earth Protection”) to honor individuals or institutions making groundbreaking contributions against plastic pollution.

6. Citizen Responsibility

Empower citizens to act:

• Avoid bottled water unless absolutely necessary.
• Replace plastic bags with cloth or biodegradable alternatives.
• Pressure companies and governments to act, as was done successfully with tobacco and ozone-depleting CFCs.
• Make it compulsory in the school curriculum to educate young children about the harmful effects of plastic pollution and practical ways to reduce or avoid its use in daily life.

Special Appeal to the Nobel Committee

I urge the Nobel Committee to create a Nobel Prize for Earth Protection, to honor pioneers working to save humanity from plastic poison. Such recognition would elevate this crisis to the moral and scientific urgency it demands.

Conclusion

Plastic pollution is not a future threat; it is a current mass poisoning event. If unchecked, it will render our planet uninhabitable long before climate change alone could do so.

This is a defining test for humanity: whether we act together to protect life itself or allow convenience and negligence to become our epitaph.

I appeal to your conscience, leadership, and responsibility toward future generations. Let us act today, together, decisively, and urgently, to rid our Earth of plastic poison.

With highest respect and deepest urgency,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Why Pakistani Cricket Has Hit Rock Bottom – and How to Revive Pakistan’s Sports Fast

Introduction

The Chief Patron of PCB, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, and Chairman PCB, Mr. Mohsin Naqvi, must remember that the buck stops at the top. They cannot escape responsibility for the sorry state of Pakistan cricket. Years of mismanagement, policy flip-flops, weak accountability, and short-term fixes have dragged the national game to its lowest ebb. Once a powerhouse that produced legends feared around the world, Pakistan cricket today stands rudderless, inconsistent, and fragile. Unless those at the very top take ownership and drive genuine reforms, the decline will only deepen.

Reasons for the Decline

1. Administrative Instability and Mismanagement

• Frequent changes in PCB leadership disrupt long-term planning.
• Political interference continues to damage decision-making. The board has too often been run by retired or serving government officials rather than professional sports administrators.
• Constant chopping and changing of captains, coaches, and selectors prevents stability and accountability.

       2.   Domestic Cricket Weakness

• Although departmental teams have been restored and are now operational again, the overall domestic structure still suffers from uneven quality and weak long-term planning.
• Poor umpiring standards undermine credibility, frustrate players, and fail to prepare cricketers for international competition.
• Facilities, pitches, and match promotion remain below par, limiting the competitiveness of domestic tournaments.

• Talent Drain and Grassroots Neglect

• The once-rich pipeline of talent is drying up due to lack of structured investment at the school, college, and club level.
• No robust nationwide system exists to consistently scout, groom, and polish young players.
• Junior cricket is not producing enough international-standard players.

     4.  Fitness and Professionalism Issues

• Pakistan continues to lag in fitness standards compared to international benchmarks.
• Poor diets, casual training culture, and lack of data-driven fitness programs lead to inconsistent performances.
• Unlike top-tier teams, Pakistan lacks centralized, year-round fitness monitoring.

      5.  Over-Reliance on PSL

• The PSL has been a commercial success but has also bred overdependence on T20 cricket.
• Players excelling in franchise leagues struggle to adapt to Test and ODI cricket due to limited exposure in longer formats.

      6.  Psychological Fragility

• Mental toughness and temperament remain major weak points.
• The absence of full-time sports psychologists leaves players vulnerable to pressure, especially in crunch games.

7.  Global Isolation Post-2009

• The 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan team forced Pakistan to play “home” matches abroad for nearly a decade.
• This robbed the younger generation of home support, affected fan engagement, and disrupted financial and developmental systems.

Fast-Track Revival Strategy

1.  Reform Governance and Ensure Meritocracy

• The PCB must be depoliticized and not run by retired or serving government officials. Instead, it should be managed by professional sports administrators with cricketing knowledge, business acumen and management expertise.
• Stability must be ensured in captaincy, coaching, and selection policies to allow long-term planning.

2.  Strengthen Domestic Structure

• With departmental cricket now revived, the next step is to improve quality and consistency—better pitches, strong umpiring standards, and modern infrastructure.
• Introduce transparent performance-based contracts at the domestic level, which must be monitored with the help of AI.
• Broadcast and promote domestic competitions widely to raise prestige and competitiveness.

 3.  Introduce Strict Accountability for Players

Establish an AI based system of severe penalties for poor performances at both international and domestic levels.

• Heavy deductions from match fees and annual contracts for repeated failures.
• Compulsory participation in domestic tournaments for all players—no exemptions.
• Reward consistent domestic performers with fast-tracked promotion to the national side.

4. Revive Grassroots Competitions

• Urgently revive national-level tournaments for schools, clubs, colleges, and universities, which once produced some of Pakistan’s greatest cricketers.
• Build a structured inter-collegiate, university, clubs and inter-school league system, supported by PCB funding and media coverage.
• Make grassroots tournaments the first stage of national selection to ensure merit rises through the system.

5. Enhance Fitness & Professionalism

• Implement international-standard fitness benchmarks and regular assessments.
• Appoint dedicated fitness trainers, physiotherapists, and nutritionists for all squads.
• Enforce strict fines and suspensions for players failing to meet professional standards taking the help of AI.

 6. Balance Formats and Global Exposure

• While leveraging the PSL, ensure young players get exposure to first-class cricket and overseas leagues.
• Rebuild the culture of Test cricket with strong domestic red-ball tournaments and “A” tours abroad.

7. Mental Strength and Sports Psychology

• Employ sports psychologists to build resilience, focus, and crisis-handling ability.
• Introduce captaincy and leadership training programs to strengthen decision-making under pressure.

8. Leverage Home Advantage and Fan Power

• With international cricket back in Pakistan, schedule frequent home series to rebuild confidence and fan support.
• Pakistan must strongly discourage less than five Test matches domestic series with the emphasis of maximum night cricket Tests, which can be played even in the hot season having the advantage of convenient overseas TV viewership timings. Night Test match cricket will also have much reduced traffic and other related security problems for the general public.
• Upgrade stadiums, improve fan facilities, and use cricket as a unifying national force.

Conclusion

Pakistan’s cricketing decline is not irreversible—but it demands courage and structural reforms. By freeing the PCB from political influence, strengthening domestic cricket with quality umpiring and world class infrastructure, enforcing strict player accountability, reviving grassroots tournaments in schools, clubs, colleges, and universities, and promoting professionalism with strict meritocracy across all levels, Pakistan can once again rise to the top tier of world cricket. The passion of the fans and the raw talent of players remain; what is missing is vision, discipline, and execution. With bold steps, Pakistan cricket can rediscover its glory.

But bold steps require bold leadership. The Prime Minister must consider looking beyond the PCB’s traditional boundaries and seek the assistance of proven leaders who understand modern strategy and innovation. One such figure is Air Chief Marshal (Retd.) Mujahid Anwar Khan, NI (C) NI (M) HI (M) SI (M) TI (M) former Chief of the Pakistan Air Force, who will forever be remembered for establishing CENTAIC (Centre of Artificial Intelligence and Computing). His expertise in deploying Artificial Intelligence for high-stakes, real-time decision-making can be harnessed to revamp the entire decadent sports structure in Pakistan, including cricket. The same strategic discipline, technological innovation, and performance culture that transformed PAF operations can help transform Pakistan’s sporting landscape.

If anyone doubts the power of sports to reshape nations, they should reflect on the timeless wisdom of Nelson Mandela, whose words—slightly adapted to today’s Pakistani reality—ring with even greater urgency:

Quote.

“Sports has the power to change Pakistan…it has the power to inspire. It has the power to UNITE Pakistani people in a way that little else does. It speaks to the Pakistani youth in a language they understand. Sports can create hope for the entire Pakistani nation, where once there was only despair, lawlessness, hunger, unemployment, poverty, drugs, and alarming increase of suicides due to the economic hardships. It is more powerful than government in breaking down the menace of drugs and terrorism which has held back Pakistan attaining its true potential.”

Unquote.

This is not just about cricket—it is about reviving national confidence, bringing discipline, healing a fragmented society, and giving Pakistan’s youth HOPE. The time for cosmetic changes is over. Only a comprehensive, professional, and visionary overhaul can lift Pakistani cricket in particular and other sports in general—and with it, the spirit of the nation—back to where it belongs.

His Excellency Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif

Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan

Islamabad

السلام علیکم ورحمة الله وبرکاته

I wish to commend your principled decision to decline the national award recommended by the committee. This act of integrity and selflessness will be remembered in our national history as a shining example of propriety in public office.

Equally, I applaud your timely announcement regarding the formation of the Army Rocket Force, echoing my proposal of 29 June 2025. This bold step will be recorded alongside the historic decision of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif to authorize the nuclear tests on 28 May 1998—both pivotal moments in Pakistan’s strategic history.

Given the prevailing regional dynamics and the clear trajectory of India’s military posture, the possibility of a major conflict is not merely speculative but increasingly INEVITABLE. In light of this, I respectfully reiterate my two additional proposals, also submitted on 29 June 2025:

1. Construction of Underground Shelters for general public equipped with medical and essential facilities.

2. Revival of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) on modern lines to enhance civilian preparedness and resilience.

Furthermore, I strongly recommend that Pakistan urgently initiate dialogue with Bangladesh for the creation of a strategic confederation—where both nations retain autonomous governance while aligning on defence, strategic, and mutually agreed matters.

Pakistan’s strategic stature now ranks second only to China in potency across the vast region stretching from New Zealand to Israel. It is therefore imperative to deepen strategic, economic, and people-to-people ties with all nations within this area of influence, including Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Mauritius, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Korea. This will require an immediate revitalization and revamping of the Foreign Affairs, Commerce, Industries, IT, and Agriculture ministries, which should be tasked with achieving USD 80 billion income in exports by 30 June 2027, to meet the challenges and opportunities of the coming century.

With prayers for Pakistan’s stability, unity, and enduring strength,

 Introduction: A Defining Moment

Pakistan stands at the most strategic inflection point since its founding. With relations with the United States at their strongest in decades, close cooperation with all other permanent members of the UN Security Council (UNSC), and unparalleled strategic depth following the decisive events of May 2025, Pakistan now possesses the leverage to advance peace in South Asia, secure overdue global recognition, and embark on a path to economic transformation.

1. Pakistan’s Historic Role in Global Diplomacy

Pakistan has not merely been a regional player; it has been a pivotal architect of global history.

• Opening US–China Relations: In the early 1970s, Pakistan acted as the crucial bridge enabling President Nixon’s historic outreach to Chairman Mao, a step that reshaped the Cold War and global trade architecture.
• Sacrifices During the Soviet–Afghan War: From 1979 to 1989, Pakistan bore the brunt of the struggle against Soviet occupation in Afghanistan, sheltering millions of refugees and sustaining enormous economic and social pressures.
• War on Terror: For over 20 years after 9/11, and particularly following the NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, Pakistan fought terrorism largely alone, sustaining immeasurable losses in lives, infrastructure, and opportunity costs. The West, and the world at large, owe Pakistan not just gratitude but tangible recompense.

2. Post-May 2025: Strategic and Military Supremacy

• The clear and tangible victory of Pakistan in the four-day May 2025 war against India has fundamentally reshaped the military balance of Asia.
• Now, Pakistan stands as the second most powerful nuclear military force in the entire Asian continent, from the shores of New Zealand to the borders of Israel, second only to China.

• This unprecedented position provides Pakistan with the credibility, deterrence, and diplomatic leverage to push forward its security and peace agenda while reassuring the world of its responsible nuclear stewardship.

3. The Case for Comprehensive Debt Relief

Given Pakistan’s decades-long sacrifices for global security, the following measures are not favours, but overdue obligations:

• 100% Write-off of All International Loans owed by Pakistan to multilateral and bilateral creditors.
• Settlement of Domestic Debt through contributions from the world’s wealthiest economies, using international stabilization funds.
• Debt-for-Development Conversion: Direct investment of equivalent amounts into infrastructure, education, technology, and health to turn Pakistan into an economic powerhouse within a decade.

This would not only stabilize Pakistan’s economy but also ensure global security by removing the root causes of instability.

 4. Renewed Push for Kashmir Peace and Plebiscite

Kashmir remains the unfinished agenda of the Indian partition from the post-colonial era and the most dangerous nuclear flashpoint in Asia. With Pakistan’s diplomatic standing at its peak:

• A new UNSC resolution should be sought to set a binding timetable for a UN-supervised plebiscite.
• The UN, OIC, and key permanent members must act as guarantors to ensure peace during the process.
• A UN Special Envoy for Kashmir should be appointed to monitor progress and report quarterly to the UNSC.

 5. Economic and People-to-People Connectivity with the U

A revitalized Pakistan–US partnership must translate into tangible benefits:

• Immediate removal of restrictive US visa policies for Pakistani students, professionals, and businesspersons.
• Direct Pakistani Airlines flights to major US cities, promoting trade, tourism, and cultural exchange.
• Joint technology and manufacturing corridors to integrate Pakistan into US-led supply chains.

 6. Strategic Recognition: Permanent UNSC Membership

Pakistan’s unique qualifications make it a natural candidate for UNSC reform:

• Only nuclear-armed member of the OIC, with proven strategic restraint.
• Second-strongest military in Asia, now proven on the battlefield, after China.
• Bridging role between the Islamic world, the West, and Asia.

 7. Building a Peaceful and Prosperous South Asia

Lasting regional peace requires Pakistan’s leadership in:

• A South Asian Peace and Development Forum under UN auspices.
• Nuclear risk-reduction and military transparency mechanisms with regional neighbours.
• Regional connectivity projects linking Central Asia to global markets via Pakistan’s ports.

Conclusion: The Time for Action is Now

Pakistan’s role in shaping modern history from opening the door to US–China relations, to bearing the human and economic burden of wars that secured Western and global security, to achieving a decisive victory in May 2025, cannot be ignored any longer.

The world must now recognize Pakistan’s sacrifices with debt remission, economic investment, and political recognition. This is not charity; it is the repayment of a debt owed.

In return, Pakistan will use its strengthened position to resolve the Kashmir issue, stabilize South Asia and the Middle East, and become a driver of global peace and prosperity in the decades ahead.

His Excellency Mr. Xi Jinping

President of the People’s Republic of China

Zhongnanhai, Xicheng District, Beijing

People’s Republic of China

Subject: Heartfelt Birthday Greetings and Reflections on Regional Peace and Security

Your Excellency,

It is with the deepest respect and admiration that I extend to you my warmest wishes on the occasion of your birthday, which fell on 15 June 2025. May you be blessed with robust health, enduring strength, and many more years of wise leadership in service of your nation and the global community.

The world today stands at a critical crossroads. Amidst these complexities, China’s doctrine of all-inclusive peace through development — manifested through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) — shines as a beacon of hope. Your vision of mutual respect, shared prosperity, and unwavering support for the sovereignty of all nations, large and small alike, has inspired billions and reshaped the global dialogue on sustainable development.

The forthcoming SCO Heads of State Summit, to be held in Tianjin on 31 August and 1 September 2025, will once again place your leadership at the forefront of regional diplomacy. The presence of leaders from all SCO member states, including Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Damodardas Modi, presents both an opportunity and a challenge: the opportunity to advance cooperative security, and the challenge of addressing actions that undermine it.

It is a matter of grave concern that, despite its membership in both BRICS and the SCO, India has repeatedly acted in ways that contradict the principles these bodies uphold. Its consistent hostility toward CPEC, sponsorship of anti-China elements within Pakistan, and the orchestration of attacks on Chinese nationals and projects in Pakistan require urgent and unequivocal response.

As I conveyed through my public communications to the PRC on 24 July 2025, strategic patience has its limits. I urged that Beijing inform India, in clear and unmistakable terms, that any future attack — direct or through proxies — on Chinese citizens or assets in Pakistan will result in swift, overwhelming, and disproportionate retaliation. Continued ambiguity risks emboldening those who would harm Chinese interests.

Your Excellency, it is instructive to recall that when a Sikh U.S. citizen felt personally threatened from Indian plans to eliminate him, the President of the United States, wrote directly on 24 July 2025 to reassure him that his safety was a paramount concern of the State. This precedent underscores the moral and political strength conveyed when a head of state speaks plainly in defense of their citizens. The PRC’s voice, backed by its global stature, would carry even greater weight in deterring aggression.

In this spirit, I respectfully submit that, before the Indian Prime Minister arrives in Tianjin, China should require that India:

1. Provide an ironclad guarantee ensuring the safety of all Chinese citizens and assets in Pakistan.

2. Pay reparations to the families of Chinese nationals killed or injured in attacks linked to Indian actions or proxies.

3. Clarify its increasingly hostile posture toward the PRC, including alignment with anti-China military groupings in the South China Sea (as recently documented in Zee News on 6 August 2025).

4. Publicly repudiate racist remarks by its leadership targeting the Chinese people.

5. Withdraw the Indian Home Minister’s 6 August 2019 parliamentary claim to Aksai Chin, which is an affront to Chinese sovereignty.

6. Cease killings after branding the indigenous Kashmiri resistance in IIOJ&K as “terrorism” in violation of the UN Charter, and end all acts amounting to genocide, war crimes, and human rights violations in the IIOJ&K, where PRC is also a major stake holder.

7. Submit to international accountability mechanisms, including the United Nations, for its actions in IIOJ&K.

Furthermore, in line with China’s Global Security Initiative (GSI) — anchored in mutual respect, non-interference, and peaceful coexistence — I propose that the SCO Summit’s joint statement call upon India to uphold these principles without reservation.

Finally, given India’s record of exporting terrorism and targeting citizens of China, Pakistan, Canada, and other nations, I humbly urge Your Excellency to reconsider any proposal to grant India the presidency of the next BRICS summit until these grave issues are satisfactorily resolved.

The time has come for principled nations to draw clear red lines against injustice, racism, terrorism, and hegemonic behavior — whether committed openly or through proxies. I am confident that under your wise leadership, China will continue to illuminate the path toward peace, equality, and shared prosperity for all.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurance of my highest consideration and unshakeable admiration.

With profound regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Following the Bombay High Court’s landmark decision on 20 July 2025, which acquitted 12 individuals (one of whom died during the trial) in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts case—an incident on 11 July 2006 where seven explosions on local trains along the Western Line killed 189 and injured 827 passengers, overturning convictions ranging from life imprisonment to the death penalty—the Government of India must now be recognized as the world champion of false flag operations, ruthlessly sacrificing its own citizens to advance political agendas. These acts are often orchestrated to falsely implicate Pakistan in particular, and Muslims in general, as perpetrators of terrorism.

In this context, it is noteworthy that even the Indian Supreme Court, in what remains an unprecedented collusion with the Indian government in the history of global jurisprudence, awarded the death penalty to Afzal Guru for the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, despite the court’s own admission that there was no direct evidence linking Guru to the planning or execution of the attack, and that he was not a member of any terrorist group. Shockingly, the court justified the sentence on the grounds that it would satisfy the “collective conscience of society.”

These state-sponsored false flag operations, when viewed alongside the 22 April 2025 Pahalgam killings, cast a disturbing light on India’s modus operandi. On 21 July 2025, the Indian National Congress President and Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mr. Mallikarjun Kharge, fiercely criticized the Indian government over U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, stating:

“I have given notice under Rule 267 on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. Till today, the terrorists have not been caught or neutralized. All parties extended unconditional support to the government. The government should inform us about what has happened.”

It is crucial to highlight that Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, immediately after the Pahalgam incident, condemned terrorism in all its forms, rejected baseless Indian accusations, and called for a transparent, neutral investigation into the attack. He also urged the United Nations to play its role in resolving the Jammu & Kashmir dispute in line with UNSC resolutions, affirming that Pakistan remains committed to peace but will defend its sovereignty with full force if challenged.

India’s pattern of false flag tactics is not new. A similar approach was followed in the 14 February 2019 Pulwama attack, where a suicide bomber killed 46 paramilitary personnel in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJ&K). Within hours of the attack, then Union Minister Arun Jaitley declared that India would take “all possible diplomatic steps” to isolate Pakistan from the international community. Pakistan, however, openly requested evidence and offered cooperation in the investigation—an offer that India ignored.

For nearly a decade, the BJP/RSS-led Modi government has pursued a policy of isolating Pakistan through fabricated terrorism narratives. In September 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a speech in Kozhikode, openly vowed to launch a global campaign to isolate Pakistan.

Considering these facts, the statements of the Congress President and the Leader of the Opposition, as well as mountains of documented evidence from credible Indian and international sources regarding the genocide and war crimes committed by Indian forces in IIOJ&K, it is imperative for the entire world leadership—particularly the UN Secretary General and all G-20 leaders—to act. The testimony of Professor Gregory Stanton (Genocide Watch), warning of an impending genocide of 220 million Muslims in India, further underscores the urgency. It is a moral and legal duty to bring Indian officials and perpetrators to justice before the International War Crimes Tribunal at The Hague, and to expel India from the G-20 and all prestigious global forums. The world can no longer afford to sit alongside Prime Minister Narendra Damodar Das Modi, whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent Kashmiris and Indian Muslims.

Finally, it must be emphasized—with utmost concern—that twice (February 2019 and May 2025), the world was saved from the brink of a nuclear catastrophe between India and Pakistan only due to the intervention of U.S. President Donald Trump. Both incidents arose from Indian miscalculations and aggressive attacks against Pakistan, rooted in false flag narratives. Pakistan, despite having irrefutable evidence of India’s plans—including the 11 March 2025 Jaffer Express hijacking plot in Baluchistan—showed maximum restraint by responding proportionately and avoiding escalation.

It is, therefore, imperative for the global community—and President Trump in particular—to establish immediate control protocols to monitor India’s covert operations and military planning through a joint mechanism involving the P-5 nations. If this is not done, the world may not be fortunate enough to avoid a third and potentially uncontrollable nuclear Armageddon.

His thought-provoking visionary insights have reshaped global discourse, capturing the attention of world leaders. His writings have not only resonated with heads of state and governments but have also influenced the foreign policies of the United States and other major powers.

At the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar made pointed remarks, emphasizing an “uncompromising position” against terrorism and warning that “nations who aid terror will pay a price.” These remarks, widely interpreted as veiled attacks on Pakistan and China, mirror a familiar Indian diplomatic playbook: project strength abroad while concealing complicity at home and beyond.

Yet, this rhetoric starkly contrasts with India’s own longstanding and systematic record of state-sponsored violence, especially in Indian-administered Kashmir, where the Indian state has been the principal actor in what many argue is one of the world’s most underreported and enduring human rights crises.

One Million Dead: Kashmir’s Long Night of Occupation

Since the first Kashmir war in 1947-48, Indian military occupation has resulted in the deaths of over one million Kashmiris, according to several rights groups and regional sources. The Indian military’s scorched-earth tactics have involved mass graves, rape used as a weapon of war, disappearances, and the maiming and blinding of thousands through indiscriminate use of pellet guns.

These atrocities are not isolated excesses—they are part of a systemic campaign of suppression against a people demanding their UN-sanctioned right to self-determination, as recognized under UN Charter Article 1(2) and Security Council Resolutions 47, 91, and 122.

False Flags and Foreign Guests: A Pattern of Manufactured Terror

Adding to the disturbing pattern is India’s alleged use of false flag operations timed around high-profile international visits. There is a documented historical trend where major terror incidents occur in India just before or during visits by U.S. Presidents or Vice Presidents, followed by an immediate campaign to pin blame externally—particularly on Pakistan—to gain diplomatic leverage and deflect scrutiny from domestic repression.

These orchestrated incidents raise grave concerns of war crimes and deliberate manipulation of both domestic and international audiences, essentially using civilian bloodshed as a diplomatic bargaining chip.

Admitted Assassinations: Indian State Terror Across Borders

Perhaps the most damning evidence of India’s double standards is the open admission by Indian leadership of its policy of extraterritorial assassinations. India has publicly declared it will “target and kill” individuals inside other sovereign countries—a practice not only illegal under international law, but a clear act of aggression.

In a chilling statement, India’s own National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval outlined the doctrine of “offensive defense,” openly admitting to using criminal networks and hired agents to carry out killings abroad. In Pakistan alone, over 20 assassinations have been traced back to Indian operatives, some of which have involved cross-border infiltration, targeted killings, and sabotage campaigns—all confirmed by credible investigations.

Kulbhushan Jadhav: The Smoking Gun of Indian Terror Operations

India’s covert activities came into global focus with the arrest of Kulbhushan Jadhav; a serving Indian naval officer caught deep inside Pakistan’s Baluchistan province. His confession—public and consistent—detailed his role in organizing terrorism and sabotage at the behest of Indian intelligence agencies. Moreover, his genuine Indian passport on pseudo name of Hussain Mubarak Patel doesn’t need any further proof of Indian government’s complicity in the whole episode of state sponsored terrorism of the government of India.   

Despite India’s efforts to frame the case as a diplomatic incident, the sheer depth of his operational involvement, use of multiple fake identities, and connection to violence on Pakistani soil remain indisputable proof of Indian state terrorism.

Exporting Assassinations: From Kashmir to Canada and the U.S.

India’s reach has gone far beyond its borders. Investigations in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom have unearthed Indian-linked plots to assassinate Sikh dissidents and other political activists.

The murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada and the foiled plots in the U.S. and UK reflect a dangerous normalization of extrajudicial killing as state policy—all while claiming to uphold democracy and the rule of law. These cases include wiretaps, payment trails, and agent networks, now confirmed by Western intelligence agencies and publicly acknowledged by leaders such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Conclusion: Exposing the Architects of Regional Destabilization

India’s repeated attempts to monopolize the counterterrorism narrative at platforms like the SCO must be viewed through the prism of its own extensive record of aggression, manipulation, and covert warfare. From Kashmir’s crushed hopes to international plots executed or planned against minorities, India has consistently blurred the line between national security and state terror.

The international community—especially the United Nations, OIC, and global human rights organizations—must now insist on accountability and independent investigations. Pakistan and other affected nations must continue to present these violations at every diplomatic forum until the true face of Indian policy is no longer obscured by hollow speeches or sanitized narratives.

If the world is to seriously address terrorism, it must begin by naming and confronting those states who commit it under the guise of preventing it. And in that list, India must stand at the top.

Complete details of Indian war crimes and rampant use terrorism as a state weapon of mass killings are chronologically detailed at Urgent Request For UN Action Against India.

By the sheer Mercy of Allah (SWT), I state with unwavering conviction: Pakistan has more than avenged the deep scars of 1971 and the Siachen betrayal of 1984.

In the historic four-day war of May 25, our armed forces delivered a decisive response — striking with precision, resolve, and restraint. Over half a dozen Indian Air Force jets, including four confirmed Rafales, were brought down. Two highly vaunted S-400 air defense systems were reduced to ashes — and all this was accomplished without crossing our own borders.

This article of the The WIRE titled “Op Sindoor: Have We Trapped Ourselves in the Stunted Imagination of Our Rulers? Link:- ( https://m.thewire.in/article/world/diplomacy/op-sindoor-have-we-trapped-ourselves-in-the-stunted-imagination-of-our-rulers )

rightly offers resounding praise to the leadership of Field Marshal and Chief of Army Staff, Syed Asim Munir, whose strategic brilliance and unwavering faith inspired a national resurgence.

And as the following paragraphs reveal, the Indian leadership has been left in utter disarray — politically, militarily, and psychologically — their narratives shattered, their confidence visibly broken.

• What a colossal misreading of the enemy and his state of preparedness, worse even than Jawaharlal Nehru’s misjudgment about the Chinese intentions in 1962.

• On one side was a mean and lean general – mocked in our media as a jihadi – whose decision-making was guided by unsentimental, cold analysis, and unburdened with any “image.” On our side was an ageing leadership, frozen in its own self-exaltation and in thrall of violence irrespective of military wisdom. The “Rawalpindi” brass had sized up Modi correctly – that he would not be able to resist the clamour for “revenge” from his own constituency – and so the Pakistan Air Force was ready with a robust response.
