2026-27 KP police budget is 21% more than last years budget for police. And we are ready to take help from federal if Mohsin Naqvi can send that SHO if he is free from baluchistan now.

Security forces kill 29 terrorists in ground ops, air strikes along Pak-Afghan border: info minister
News Desk
June 29, 2026
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Sunday night that Pakistan’s security forces had carried out a “well planned intelligence-based ground operation” along the Pakistan-Afghan border followed by calibrated strikes against the hideouts and safe havens of terrorists belonging to Jamaatul Ahrar and Fitna al Khawarij, killing twenty-nine khawarij.
Fitna al Khawarij is the term used by the state to designate members of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The kinetic action, the minister said, came in the wake of “recent multiple terrorist incidents inside Pakistan against the innocent people of Khyber Pakthunkhwa, Balochistan and Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) Camp, Karachi”.
On Saturday night, terrorists attacked a local headquarter of the Pakistan Rangers Sindh in Karachi’s Gulistan-i-Jauhar area, during which three security personnel were martyred, according to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
ISPR said in a statement that the attack was carried out by terrorists “belonging to Indian proxy, Jamaatul Ahrar”, adding that three terrorists were killed in retaliatory action while one was arrested.
Later, security sources said the arrested terrorist had identified himself as Usman Ali and revealed that he had come to Pakistan from Jalalabad in Afghanistan around a week ago.
In a post on X, the information minister said that “on June 28, security forces conducted an intelligence-based ground operation against a group of terrorists near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Bajaur district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa”.
“As a result of precise and skillful engagement, high-value khawarji commander Khan Farosh aka Zabal, along with three terrorists belonging to Indian proxy Jamaatul Ahrar were sent to hell while several others got injured”.

News DeskJune 29, 2026
Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said on Monday that the Afghan chargé d’affaires was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Mofa) and issued a strong demarche over the terrorist attack on a Rangers facility in Karachi.
On Saturday night, terrorists attacked the local headquarters of the Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) in Karachi’s Gulistan-i-Jauhar area, during which three security personnel were martyred and four were injured, according to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
ISPR said the attack was carried out by terrorists “belonging to Indian proxy Jamaatul Ahrar” (JuA), adding that three terrorists were killed in retaliatory action while one was arrested, whom it identified as an Afghan national.
Andrabi confirmed Islamabad’s summoning of the envoy in a statement on Monday, in response to media queries regarding Pakistan’s demarche to the Afghan Taliban regime.

Epistemic terrorism
Dr Raashid Wali JanjuaJune 29, 2026
In today’s day and age, terrorism is not merely enabled by ideology and technology but also most effectively by an epistemic strategy that sacralises the ideological lineaments of the terrorists’ main creed.
A concrete indication of this trend is the Taliban government’s use of sophisticated strategic communication tools through epistemic proxies like the Al Mirsaad, a web-based publication funded and directed by Taliban regime’s General Directorate of Intelligence’s media wing.
Recently, the Al Mirsaad’s credentials as a Taliban mouthpiece were exposed by a report, “Heretics, Adversaries, & Legitimacy” by the Durand Despatch, an independent digital news organisation that specialises in security and counter-terrorism affairs in Afghanistan and South Asia.
The analysis of the Al Mirsaad’s 137 articles, published between October 2025 and March 2026, identified a pattern of deification of the internationally isolated and delegitimised Taliban regime.

The Taliban’s messaging strategy
It appears that the Taliban regime has started employing sophisticated information operations through mouthpieces such as Al Mirsaad, extending the reach of their strategic messaging to the Western audience, ostensibly to curry favour with the human rights sensitive West, which so far has ostracised the Taliban for their education apartheid against women and imposition of medieval strictures upon minorities.To this end, the Al Mirsaad has been eulogising the Taliban regime in an attempt to establish its credentials as a sovereign entity that deserves international legitimacy. Russian recognition, and Indian diplomatic warmth have been cited as indicators of increased acceptance of the Taliban regime’s legitimacy and reasonableness, while countries like Pakistan are castigated for their aggression against Afghanistan. Clever communication artifices are employed to present the terror-supporting Taliban regime as a victim of the ISKP’s (Islamic State of Khurasan and Pakistan) terrorism which is propped up by the West and Pakistan.

A narrative of victimhood
The terror apologists typically resort to the gaslighting tactics of concealing the misanthropy of terrorists in a victimhood narrative. The Al Mirsaad apparently practices the same tactics by burying the brutally oppressive and obscurantist image of Taliban in a carapace of mendacity by framing their distorted ideology as a counterpoint to a bigger menace — the sectarian terrorism of ISKP/Daesh.Of the 137 articles produced by Al Mirshad, couched in language and idiom targeting the Western audience, over 50 per cent frame the ISKP as the main terrorist threat to regional peace and security while only 4 articles mention the TTP as a kindred terrorist entity.
In order to divert attention away from the egregious human rights violations and the blood curdling atrocities against the women, minorities, and hapless Afghan population, the Taliban regime has started a self expiatory epistemic campaign to paint a halo of innocent piety around itself. The strategy is to shift the focus away from their medieval statecraft towards entities like the ISKP to confuse the international community and to accuse neighbours like Pakistan of proxy warfare in Afghanistan.

A deflection campaign
Meanwhile, the Taliban regime has perfected the art of dissembling and prevarication when it comes to the accusations of supporting terrorism. It poses to the world that it is opposing the ISKP and Al Qaeda, whereas it is a fact that Afghanistan has become a farraginous blend of terror entities under the benign gaze of the Taliban, who regard all these groups as their ideological kinsmen.There is a free lateral movement of terrorists from the Taliban to ISKP, Al Qaeda, ETIM, and IMU and all these terror franchises share the operational and logistical intelligence besides being animated by the same deviant version of ideology that celebrates spread of ideology through violence.
The Al Mirsaad, as a narrative building vehicle of a terror supporting regime shies away from even engaging with the issue of TTP terrorism that lies at the heart of the Afghanistan-Pakistan conflict.
Al Mirsaad’s criticism of Pakistan’s retaliation against the TTP bases in Afghanistan is undergirded with the identical legal and moral logic as articulated by the Taliban regime’s spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid, without concentrating on the elephant in the room — the TTP’s brutal terror campaign against Pakistani civilians as well as law enforcement agencies.

The global consensus against the Taliban’s human rights violations and the support of terrorist entities like Al Qaeda and ISKP is evident in the form of frequent UN censures of the Taliban regime for their blatant disregard of human rights and concomitant support to a large ecosystem of terrorism finding a salubrious environment under the Taliban’s patronage.
Justifying support for terror through epistemes is a bigger crime than the acts of terror themselves.
