Current political situation
As we delve into the current state of affairs in Pakistan, it’s essential to analyze the factors contributing to political stability or potential tussles among different political players. Pakistan, like many nations, faces a myriad of challenges, including economic disparities, regional tensions, and security concerns. Within this context, political stability becomes paramount for progress and development.
While there have been efforts towards achieving stability, such as recent elections and constitutional reforms, the landscape remains dynamic. Various political factions with divergent agendas and ideologies vie for power and influence, often leading to friction and discord. Furthermore, external factors, including geopolitical dynamics and international relations, can significantly impact Pakistan’s political stability. It’s crucial to monitor these interactions and their potential ramifications on domestic politics.
As editors, we emphasize the importance of dialogue, compromise and a commitment to democratic principles in fostering stability. Political leaders must prioritize the interests of the Pakistani people above personal or partisan interests, working towards consensus-building and inclusive governance. Transparency and accountability are fundamental pillars of a stable political system. Therefore, we call upon all stakeholders to uphold these principles and ensure the integrity of democratic institutions.
In conclusion, while challenges to political stability exist, Pakistan has demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity. By fostering unity, cooperation and adherence to democratic values, we can overcome tussles among political players and pave the way for a brighter future for Pakistan and its people.

Drug addiction
The Provincial Minister for Excise & Taxation, Transport & Mass Transit of Sindh has directed action against the drugs mafia under the zero-tolerance policy and issued strict orders to crack down on the sale of all drugs, including crystal, heroin, ice, hashish and raw liquor in the province.
The Minister emphasized the need to operate under a zero-tolerance policy against all types of drugs and highlighted that officers are required to report on their performance daily.
The teenagers besides younger generation are being bewitched by different sorts of drugs and narcotics. The use of drugs is growing at an alarming level in Pakistan, with 6.7 million users and over 4 million addicts, marking the country as one of the highest numbers for any country in the world. The issue of drug addiction casts a shadow over the societal fabric of Pakistan. Historically, successive governments and society failed to curb drug smuggling and the use of narcotics during the Afghan war, and no proper writ of the law in former FATA played a role in the spread of this evil in our society.
Our country also has insufficient rehabilitation facilities for post-addiction treatment of drug users which made the worst situation in the society with thousands of young addicts living a miserable life on the streets and roads in the country. There is an urgent need for a comprehensive approach to education, policy changes, global collaboration, public engagement and early intervention by the authorities to effectively control drug abuse to promote a healthier life and conducive environment in our society.
