Coalition Appeals Prime Minister to Urgently Notify Federal Safety Commission for Journalists
Key media stakeholders, including the Pakistan Journalists Safety Coalition, have urged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to operationalize the Federal Protection of Journalists and Media Professionals Act, passed in 2021, to combat crimes against journalists. The coalition criticized both the current and previous governments for failing to notify a safety commission and appoint a chairperson. They demanded the removal of Section 6 from the Act, which requires journalists to prove their good faith, and called for an end to branding journalists as traitors. The coalition also urged the government to withdraw adversarial cases against journalists and ensure freedom of expression.

The Changing Face of Kashmiri Militancy
The article discusses the evolution of militancy in Kashmir through the experiences of former militants. Sajad Khan, an early member of JKLF, reflects on the armed insurgency's beginnings and its eventual decline. He compares the militancy of the 1990s with today's 'new-age militancy', which he finds smaller in number but more potent and committed. The article also covers the ideological shifts within the militancy, particularly after the death of Burhan Wani, and the rise of Zakir Musa, who has been disowned by Hizb-ul-Mujahideen and now leads the Al Qaeda-affiliated Ansar Ghawzat Ul Hind. The piece touches on the internal rifts among militant groups and their relationship with the separatist leadership, as well as the influence of international jihadist movements and the Indian political climate on Kashmiri militancy.

Iran Rejects IAEA Report On Increased Enriched Uranium
Iran has refrained from directly responding to suspected Israeli strikes that killed IRGC members, including a consulate attack in Damascus. Tehran vows vengeance, with Ayatollah Khamenei promising punishment for Israel. The strike on the consulate, a first on an Iranian diplomatic compound, killed seven IRGC members, including General Mohammad Reza Zahedi. Iran demands global condemnation and a UN Security Council meeting, while Israel maintains its policy of silence on Syrian airstrikes. Analysts suggest Iran may be compelled to respond, possibly indirectly, to maintain regional credibility. The attack raises concerns of escalating conflict in the region, with Iran holding Israel responsible and the U.S. expressing concern over escalation. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, the strategic calculations of both nations, and the potential for broader regional implications.

Iraq’s political deadlock shattered as Sadr withdraws from government formation
The article by Louisa Loveluck and Mustafa Salim, published in the Washington Post, discusses the political turmoil in Iraq following the withdrawal of Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr and his parliamentary candidates from the government formation process. This move has broken the political deadlock and raised the possibility of renewed street protests. The country is facing increasing hardships, including price hikes and a failing power grid, which have exacerbated public discontent. Sadr's decision to pull out his candidates from the parliament has reshuffled the political landscape, leaving the Iran-backed Coordinating Framework with a significant number of seats but still requiring support from Kurdish and Sunni factions to form a government. Despite stepping back, Sadr maintains considerable influence in Iraq's political scene. The article also touches on the potential for protests in the summer or fall, which could force other political factions to seek Sadr's support. There is a sense of disillusionment among the population due to the ongoing political struggles and deteriorating living conditions.

What a ‘grape’ village!
Repora in Kashmir's Ganderbal district is renowned for its high-quality organic grapes, praised historically by Sufi saint Sheikh Noor-Ud-Din Wali. The village's vineyards, covering 60 hectares, produce grapes that exceed international size standards. Despite their quality, these grapes are mainly confined to local markets due to limited production. The community relies heavily on grape cultivation for their livelihood, with 90% of the population engaged in this industry. Challenges include weather impacts and threats from animals, but the dedication to organic farming sets Repora's grapes apart.

PPP to rule rural TMCs, JI, PTI to control majority of urban bodies
In Karachi, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will govern 13 out of 25 Town Municipal Corporations (TMCs), with Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairmen ruling the remaining TMCs. The PPP's dominance is particularly strong in rural and suburban areas, while the JI has secured chairmanship in urban areas traditionally inhabited by the Urdu-speaking populace. The PTI has won chairmanship in three TMCs. The election results highlight the political polarization within Karachi, with the PPP and JI reflecting a divide between underprivileged localities and properly planned urban areas.
