By MIKE CATALINI CHATHAM, N.J. (AP) — That buzzing coming out of New Jersey? It’s unclear if it’s drones or something else, but for sure the nighttime sightings are producing tons of talk, a raft of conspiracy theories and craned necks looking skyward. Cropping up on local news and social media sites around Thanksgiving, the saga of the drones reported over New Jersey has reached incredible heights. This week seems to have begun a new, higher-profile chapter: Lawmakers are demanding (but so far not getting) explanations from federal and state authorities about what’s behind them. Gov. Phil Murphy wrote to President Joe Biden asking for answers. New Jersey’s new senator, Andy Kim, spent Thursday night on a drone hunt in rural northern New Jersey, and posted about it on X. But perhaps the most fantastic development is the dizzying proliferation of conspiracies — none of which has been confirmed or suggested by federal and state officials who say they’re looking into what’s happening. It has become shorthand to refer to the flying machines as drones, but there are questions about whether what people are seeing are unmanned aircraft or something else. Some theorize the drones came from an Iranian mothership. Others think they are the Secret Service making sure President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster property is secure. Others worry about China. The deep state. And on. In the face of uncertainty, people have done what they do in 2024: Create a social media group. The Facebook page, New Jersey Mystery Drones — let’s solve it , has nearly 44,000 members, up from 39,000 late Thursday. People are posting their photo and video sightings, and the online commenters take it from there. One video shows a whitish light flying in a darkened sky, and one commenter concludes it’s otherworldly. “Straight up orbs,” the person says. Others weigh in to say it’s a plane or maybe a satellite. Another group called for hunting the drones literally, shooting them down like turkeys. (Do not shoot at anything in the sky, experts warn.) Trisha Bushey, 48, of Lebanon Township, New Jersey, lives near Round Valley Reservoir where there have been numerous sightings. She said she first posted photos online last month wondering what the objects were and became convinced they were drones when she saw how they moved and when her son showed her on a flight tracking site that no planes were around. Now she’s glued to the Mystery Drones page, she said. “I find myself — instead of Christmas shopping or cleaning my house — checking it,” she said. She doesn’t buy what the governor said, that the drones aren’t a risk to public safety. Murphy told Biden on Friday that residents need answers. The federal Homeland Security Department and FBI also said in a joint statement they have no evidence that the sightings pose “a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.” “How can you say it’s not posing a threat if you don’t know what it is?” she said. “I think that’s why so many people are uneasy.” Then there’s the notion that people could misunderstand what they’re seeing. William Austin is the president of Warren County Community College, which has a drone technology degree program, and is coincidentally located in one of the sighting hotspots. Austin says he has looked at videos of purported drones and that airplanes are being misidentified as drones. He cited an optical effect called parallax, which is the apparent shift of an object when viewed from different perspectives. Austin encouraged people to download flight and drone tracker apps so they can better understand what they’re looking at. Nonetheless, people continue to come up with their own theories. “It represents the United States of America in 2024,” Austin said. “We’ve lost trust in our institutions, and we need it.” Federal officials echo Austin’s view that many of the sightings are piloted aircraft such as planes and helicopters being mistaken for drones, according to lawmakers and Murphy. That’s not really convincing for many, though, who are homing in on the sightings beyond just New Jersey and the East Coast, where others have reported seeing the objects. For Seph Divine, 34, another member of the drone hunting group who lives in Eugene, Oregon, it feels as if it’s up to citizen sleuths to solve the mystery. He said he tries to be a voice of reason, encouraging people to fact check their information, while also asking probing questions. “My main goal is I don’t want people to be caught up in the hysteria and I also want people to not just ignore it at the same time,” he said. “Whether or not it’s foreign military or some secret access program or something otherworldly, whatever it is, all I’m saying is it’s alarming that this is happening so suddenly and so consistently for hours at a time,” he added. Associated Press reporter Hallie Golden in Seattle contributed to this report.

Selena Gomez ’s heart wants what it wants. And according to her boyfriend Benny Blanco , whom she’s been dating since 2023, that’s exactly why the Only Murders In the Building star made the first move. “She asked me out,” the music producer revealed to Kai Cenat during a Nov. 19 live stream . “We were just talking, and then she was like, ‘Do you wanna get dinner?’” In fact, Benny shared that the Wizards of Waverly Place alum was almost too smooth in her approach. “We just went and got a drink first, and I didn’t even realize we were on a date,” he explained. “She was like, ‘I would’ve worn something different to this date.’ And I was like, ‘Wait, what? We’re on a date?’ I had no idea!” When the pair hung out again days later, Benny, 36, realized he may have found something special. “I was like, ‘Yo, I think she likes me,’” he gushed. “Then I literally just kissed her, and then the rest is history.” Now more than a year into their relationship, Benny and Selena spend “as many days as [they] can” together, with him adding, “She’s my best friend—actual best friend.” Likewise, Selena, 32, has made it clear this isn’t that same old love, explaining why she’s shared more of their romance on social media than in her previous relationships. “I guess this is the safest I’ve ever felt in one,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Nov. 20, “and I see a future with this person. And when you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down.” And while the “Hands to Myself” singer has allowed fans to see glimpses of the relationship, she insisted, “there’s so much of my relationship people don’t see, that’s just mine.” For more on why Selena and Benny’s relationship comes naturally, read on.

In February, a four-member independent inquiry committee on ‘Abject Failure – Illegal Overbilling’ confirmed overcharging allegations made by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) against all Discos across the country but absolved them of “deliberate and mala fide” fleecing. In April, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi made it clear that overbilling would not be tolerated under any circumstances. The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Energy (Power Division) had also expressed grave concern over rising overbilling complaints in August. The directives were issued today as the premier chaired a review meeting on the performance of Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco), Peshawar Electric Supply Company (Pesco) and Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (Fescp), a press release from the PM Office Media Wing said. During the meeting, PM Shehbaz termed overbilling unacceptable, stating that strict action would be taken against officers involved in such practices. He expressed concern over the delay in the appointment process of Discos’ chief executive officers (CEOs) and directed to ensure that the appointments were made at the earliest through a highly transparent process. “Recruitment of workforce in distribution companies should be merit-based, with no compromise on transparency,” the prime minister asserted. Meanwhile, the meeting was apprised of the progress of smart meters’ installation as well. The advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) meters, also known as smart meters, automatically transfer the reading data to the control room (main server) on the exact meter reading date and time, enabling the officials to quickly process and send bills to the consumers. Since the system also allows Discos to receive and check readings on a daily basis, it minimises the chances of corruption (overbilling, tampering, etc) by ending the obsolete manual reading system. Pesco took the top spot for the installation rate, with 51,173 installed out of 152,559 smart meters, according to figures reported by state-run APP. Out of 223,365 three-phase smart meters, 49,470 had been installed by Lesco. Fesco had only installed 11,276 out of 192,311 smart meters. PM Shehbaz also said all available resources should be utilised to meet the targets set by Nepra. According to a detailed briefing on the achievement of targets, recovery rates up to November of the current fiscal year (FY 2024-25) were reported as 96.82 per cent for Lesco, 87.98pc for Pesco and 97.57pc for Fesco. Transmission and distribution losses (up to November of FY 2024-25) remained at 13.04pc for Lesco, 33pc for Pesco and 6.01pc for Fesco. Minister for Economic Affairs Ahsan Iqbal, Minister for Power Division Awais Khan Leghari, Minister of State for Information Technology and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima, Minister of State for Finance and Revenue Ali Pervez Malik, PM’s Coordinator Rana Ahsan Afzal, and other senior government officials attended the meeting.CIMG President Highlights AI’s Transformative Role in Marketing at 33rd President’s Ball
Russia is considering taking steps to resume nuclear tests according to Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov . Ryabkov gave the chilling warning as he cautioned against US president-elect Donald Trump from conducting nuclear testing in an interview with Russia newspaper Kommersant. Such a move would be significant escalation of tensions which are currently at their highest since the Cold War following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Neither country has conducted a nuclear test since the early 1990s but it is believed that the Trump administration did consider doing so during his first term in office, something Ryabkov described as "extremely hostile" toward Russia . Russia signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), which prohibits nuclear explosions for civilian or military purposes, in 1996 and ratified it in 2000. However, after launching his illegal war in Ukraine , Putin withdrew Russia from the agreement, bringing the country in line with the United States who are one of eight nations not to have ratified the agreement. Speaking about the possibility of tests Ryabkov said: “I would simply like to say in this regard that the international situation is currently extremely difficult, American policy in its various aspects is today extremely hostile toward us. “So the options for us to act in the interests of ensuring security and the potential measures and actions we have to do this—and to send politically appropriate signals...does not rule anything out,” according to translators from Reuters. Most nuclear powers are currently in the process of upgrading their nuclear arsenals as they seek to modernise their capability in the face of rising global tensions. There are fears that the United States is considering resuming nuclear tests as a means of developing new weapons and demonstrating strength to countries threatening their global hegemony. Russia possesses 5,580 warheads, whilst the United States has 5,044, meaning the two nations control 88% of the world’s nuclear weapons. It remains unclear what approach the new Trump administration will take in respect of Russia . Throughout the election campaign, Trump repeatedly claimed that he would be able to end the war in Ukraine on his first day in office, although details on how this would be achieved remain to be seen. The president-elect has spoken openly about his respect for the Russian leader as well as positive relationship which has included several phone calls between the pair since Trump left office in 2021.
Seahawks face Cardinals for 2nd time in 2 weeks with significant stakesFetterman on Gaetz withdrawal: 'I didn't see that coming'ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — What's stoking the Denver Broncos' surprising surge is the growing connection between rookie quarterback Bo Nix and veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Whenever the Broncos (7-5) need a clutch catch, a key flag or a timely touchdown, Sutton is usually the one delivering it like he did Sunday when he caught eight passes on 10 targets for 97 yards and a pair of touchdowns that sparked the Broncos' come-from-behind 29-19 win at Las Vegas. “Courtland played tremendous,” coach Sean Payton said. Again. “He’s just reliable,” Nix said. “He's just always there when you need him.” Sutton's size (6-foot-4 and 216 pounds) and experience (he's in his seventh NFL season) make him an ideal target and safety valve for the rookie QB whose confidence is growing by the week. “He’s smart. He’s savvy. He makes plays when the ball’s in the air,” Nix said. “You can trust him. When it’s up in the air, it’s his or nobody’s. It’s not going to be a pick.” Nix's first touchdown toss to Sutton was an 18-yarder that allowed the QB to break Marlin Briscoe's 1968 Denver rookie record of 14 TD passes, and the two connected again with 5:30 left to make it a two-score game. The Broncos trailed 13-9 at halftime and Nix said they knew they had to get the ball into Sutton's hands more in the second half after he had caught the only pass thrown his way in the first half (for 17 yards). “Didn’t target him (much) in the first half,” Nix said. “We come out and say, ‘Look, Courtland, this is your half.’ We take over the game. He goes for two touchdowns. That just kind of speaks for what he means to our team.” Sutton has been on a tear after since he wasn't targeted a single time in Denver's 33-10 win at New Orleans on Oct. 17. (Payton mentioned as recently as last week what an anomaly that game was because there was a heavy diet of plays for Sutton that just didn't pan out for various reasons.) In his six games before that goose egg, Sutton had 21 catches on 49 targets for 277 yards and a touchdown. In the five games since, he's caught 36 of the 48 balls thrown his way for 467 yards and three TDs. Plus, he threw a touchdown pass to Nix on a “Philly Special” at Baltimore in Week 9. “I think we're just scratching the surface,” Sutton said. Thanks in part to the chemistry between Nix and Sutton, the Broncos are in position for the seventh and final playoff spot entering December. The passing game, thanks to the Nix-Sutton connection. The running game. Javonte Williams had just 2 yards on eight carries and Audric Estime ran three times for 15 yards against the Raiders' run-heavy fronts and a steady diet of blitzes. Jaleel McLaughlin saved the day with seven carries for 44 yards. OLB Nik Bonitto. His 10 sacks make him the first Denver defender with double-digit sacks since 2018, when Von Miller did it. Once again, the Broncos' special teams, with the exception of K Wil Lutz, who hasn't missed a field goal attempt or extra point since his protection unit cratered at Kansas City three weeks ago and allowed the Chiefs to block what would have been the game-winning kick as time expired. On Sunday, the Raiders had a successful fake punt and a 59-yard kickoff return. Payton isn't saying much about the injuries to DE Zach Allen (heel) and CB Riley Moss (knee) except that to him they're not serious setbacks for either player. 2 — The Broncos are two games above .500 for the first time since starting the 2021 season with three wins. The Broncos host Cleveland (3-8) on Monday night ahead of their bye week. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
How Democrats Lost The Plot On Education
BC Highway Patrol nabs 12 alleged impaired drivers in South OkanaganNoneLiving on streets since 1995... Man, 64, looks for his family
As America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan came to a close, thousands of courageous men and women who risked their lives fighting for years to protect our country and our way of life began coming home and transitioning into civilian life. For so many of them, that transition left a gaping hole. Just a few weeks earlier, they had been a critical part of operations vital to national security. Decisions they made under fire had life and death implications for their brothers and sisters fighting to their left and right in the heat of battle. These were missions they carried out to keep their families and all Americans safe without any expectation of recognition or thanks. Arriving back home, their days seem empty in comparison. For many, the most important decision they now must make may be which of 12 brands of cereal on the grocery shelf they will choose or what to wear to work the next day. Ordinary daily life is a shock. Something is missing. That something is having a purpose. America is more divided than we have been since the Civil War, and political violence is on the rise. Politicians and media celebrities work to dehumanize the other side, and social media platforms fan the flames to drive clicks, views and revenue. We have been sorted into echo chambers where we seldom encounter other Americans who don’t think like us, act like us or look like us. Trust has been significantly eroded to be replaced by fear — not because of some horrific crime we have committed against one another, but because of perceptions we have of other Americans as our politics has become more and more partisan. Veterans can play a strong role in creating the trust America needs. Veterans are one of the most trusted institutions in America. According to a 2024 Gallup poll, 61 percent of Americans trust the military “a great deal or quite a lot,” compared to Congress coming in at a staggeringly low 9 percent. Veterans hold a special place in American society. They are trusted on both the left and the right of the political divide in America; and therein lies the opportunity. Our brave men and women coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan need a new hill to climb, and there is no greater hill to climb right now than to help unite the country across our political divide. Our veterans fought to defend American democracy overseas, and now we need them to do one more tour and fight for it again here at home. Veterans can be our greatest asset in this historically divisive time. I am one of those veterans who returned home from the wars with a gaping hole inside me, aching for purpose and meaning. As a result, I founded More Perfect Union, an organization and movement that could tap into the lessons we had learned downrange in combat to help unite the country that we all love and fought so hard to protect. Many of those lessons we learned while serving are still applicable to this new mission. In highly fragile regions, we were tasked with building trust among warring tribes in a village to prevent the infiltration of violent extremist organizations like al-Qaida and ISIS. We formed those bonds of trust using classic counterinsurgency tactics and hard-won lessons learned from two decades of asymmetric warfare. We learned how to map out communities to understand the real power dynamics within a community and across rival factions. We learned how to earn the trust of power brokers within each of those factions. We brought them together around a common project for the greater good of the community and region These projects were varied, like a large-scale farming cooperative, building a school ,or repairing basic infrastructure like roads and bridges to ensure trade routes stay open and communities maintain access to markets. Through these tactics, we were able to form strong bonds of trust among these warring factions to keep out extremist groups looking to exploit the weaknesses of isolation and division. As veterans come home from foreign wars, we are returning to a situation that seems shockingly all too familiar. We see two rival factions separated and exploited by the most extreme voices in our society. It’s time to use our battle-tested lessons here at home — restoring unity and hope to prevent those extreme voices from tearing us apart. In the wake of a particularly contentious election, veterans can help turn down the temperature in communities across the country — reminding all of us that we are not Republicans and we are not Democrats. We are Americans. We have one more mission to ask of our veterans. They can help us find a new patriotism in this important moment. They can help us remember that there is so much more that unites us than divides us. Veterans can help us find common ground, and then lead us beyond that to higher ground.The cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2025 was just released by the Social Security Administration, and recipients can anticipate a 2.5% increase in their Social Security check starting next year, for the typical retiree, which would amount to about $50 per month. However, there will be other changes to Social Security as well. Numerous new income restrictions could impact you in some ways as the year progresses. While many of these modifications would raise your monthly payout, some will not be as advantageous, especially if you make a larger salary . Here’s what to expect in 2025. A new $5,108 Social Security check will be eligible for beneficiaries in 2025 The maximum taxable earnings limit is an income limit that directly affects your Social Security check amount. The closer your wages are to this maximum, which is the highest annual earnings subject to Social Security taxes, the larger your benefit will be. Keep in mind that the yearly limit is set at $168,600 in 2024, and will rise to $176,100 by 2025. Because the wage cap is designed to keep up with changes in the cost of living, it typically rises year after year. Beneficiaries should know that all people are impacted by these restrictions, but those with greater incomes may be more severely affected. You will pay taxes on a larger portion of your income each year if your earnings are at or over the limit. For people making between $168,600 and $176,100 annually, the 2025 rise may have the greatest effect because they will be subject to Social Security tax on income that was not previously subject to taxation in 2024. With the present payroll tax rate of 12.4% (which incorporates both employee and employer taxes), the extra $7,500 in income will result in a $930 annual tax increase. The good news that beneficiaries might be unaware of regarding higher income limits Even though paying more taxes might not be ideal, there is a bright side: you will eventually receive a bigger benefit and might even be eligible for the maximum monthly checks. In 2025, Social Security’s maximum monthly benefit will increase from $4,873 to an incredible $5,108. To be eligible for this payout, you must work for at least 35 years, wait until you are 70 years old to claim benefits, and continuously earn more than the maximum taxable earnings limit. Moreover, earning the maximum Social Security check is becoming increasingly challenging as the earnings threshold keeps increasing annually. However, if your income is sufficient to meet that income threshold, you have already overcome what may be the most difficult obstacle to receiving this benefit. What if your annual income is completely below $176,100? Although that will regrettably prevent you from receiving the full payout, there are still ways to raise the amount of your compensation. One strategy for increasing benefits is to delay claiming. You will earn a little greater compensation for each month you wait after age 62. Filing at your full retirement age (66 or 67, depending on your year of birth) will result in 100% of your Social Security check, but if you wait until age 70, you will earn at least a 24% bonus on top of the total amount you receive. In December 2023, the Social Security Administration stated that retirees get an average of $1,298 per month at age 62, increasing to $1,884 at age 67 and $2,038 at age 70. Delaying benefits can significantly raise the size of your checks, even if you can only do so for a year or two. Working longer than 35 years is another option for enhancing your payments. Calculating your Social Security check begins with averaging your earnings throughout the 35 years of your employment during which you made the most money. Since your average includes only your highest earning years, you’re probably making more money now than you did thirty-five years ago. You can get a larger benefit by replacing lower-earning years with additional years of higher-earning employment. If you’re a high earner, a higher 2025 maximum earnings cap might result in a greater tax burden, but it will also get you closer to a higher maximum Social Security check amount . Little actions can have a big impact on your monthly paycheck, even if you’re behind schedule for that payment.MaxLinear director Ted Tewksbury sells $89,110 in stock
Syrians cheer end of 50 years of Assad rule at first Friday prayers since government fellIonQ ( IONQ 12.80% ) stock posted big gains in Friday's trading. The quantum-computing company's share price closed out the daily session up 12.9%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index ended the day roughly flat, and the Nasdaq Composite index closed out the session up 0.1%. IonQ stock gained ground today amid rising investor enthusiasm for quantum-computing stocks. The recent bullish surge in the space was kicked off earlier this week by the unveiling of Alphabet 's Willow chip, which has delivered a major leap forward in quantum capabilities. IonQ gets a boost from Alphabet's Willow On Monday, Alphabet 's Google division published a blog post detailing the achievements of its new Willow chip. The tech giant also published a report in Nature detailing the results of a benchmark test achieved by the chip. Google's Willow chip managed to complete a random circuit sampling (RCS) benchmark computing test in less than five minutes. These tests are used as a way to measure the capabilities and efficiency of quantum-computing machines at tasks that are far more difficult for traditional computers. For comparison, Google says that the benchmark computing test completed with its Willow chip would have taken one of the world's top supercomputers 10 septillion years to finish. As a result of Willow's benchmark test results, Alphabet saw a significant uptick in bullish momentum. IonQ stock initially fell following the Willow news, but it gained ground today as investors poured into quantum-computing stocks. But even with today's gains, the company's share price still ended the week down 11.5%. What comes next for IonQ stock? Alphabet is potentially a competitor for IonQ in the quantum-computing space. Additionally, it's a much larger company and has access to much greater computing and financial resources. Accordingly, it's difficult to map out what exactly the achievements of Google's Willow chip will mean for the smaller company's long-term performance outlook. On the other hand, the Willow chip appears to have solved a significant problem in quantum computing -- and that could ultimately be a good thing for IonQ. The Willow chip has actually been able to deliver lower error rates as qubits within the system are scaled. This marks a major departure, as error rates have normally increased in conjunction with the number of qubits. Google also says that errors are able to be corrected in real time within the Willow circuit. The chip's impressive technology could wind up being utilized by IonQ at some point. Alternatively, the company could aim to produce similar technological results on its own now that the significant qubit scaling result has been achieved. While commercial applications for quantum computing aren't expected to arrive before 2030, recent progress for the technology and the potential for it to power huge leaps forward for artificial intelligence and other categories could continue pushing IonQ stock higher.Middle East latest: Israeli strikes kill a hospital director in Lebanon and wound 6 medics in GazaMeet Victoria Fosse: Pioneering Financial Analyst and Entrepreneur 11-26-2024 12:28 AM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: ABNewswire Image: https://www.abnewswire.com/uploads/33451e43c993f519e0c367f305d56c80.png Victoria Fosse, who combines extensive financial knowledge with an entrepreneurial spirit, is a formidable force in the dynamic realm of business and finance.

Turkey's foreign minister discussed with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Saturday the need to act in cooperation with the new Syrian administration to ensure the completion of the transition period in an orderly manner, the ministry said. In a phone call, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told Blinken that Ankara would not allow Kurdish YPG militia to take shelter in Syria, the ministry spokesperson said. During the call, Blinken emphasized the need to support a Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political process that "upholds human rights and prioritizes an inclusive and representative government," according to a statement from the U.S. State Department. Blinken and Fidan also discussed preventing terrorism from endangering the security of Turkey and Syria, the statement said.ISLAMABAD: Completely distancing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from the controversial decision to hold talks with banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the opposition leader in National Assembly Omar Ayub said on Saturday that talks with banned outfit were “proposed and advocated” by no other than the ex-army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa during a National Security Committee (NSC). Speaking at a presser in response to Director General (DG) Inter-Services Public Relation’s (ISPR) press conference a day ago, in which he blamed the then Prime Minister Imran Khan of holding talking with TTP, Ayub said: “It was not Imran Khan as it was General Bajwa who said the every issue can be resolved through dialogue with TTP.” “The issue of holding talks with TTP was discussed in the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting that talks should be held with the TTP. This was not PTI’s decision, as it was Gen Bajwa’s decision, who advocated for it.” Afghan Taliban target ‘several points’ in Pakistan in retaliation for airstrikes: Afghan defence ministry In the same breath, Ayub, who is a senior PTI leader, said that on July 05, 2022, when Shehbaz Sharif was prime minister, Gen Bajwa and his director-general Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum, also gave a similar briefing to NSC, and reiterated to hold talks with TTP. “This is beyond comprehension why the DG ISPR is blaming Imran Khan for holding talks with TTP. I would like to ask to recall his briefing to NSC to the PDM government led by Shehbaz Sharif on July 5, 2022 after Imran Khan’s ouster from power,” he added. He criticised the government’s failure to curb fuel smuggling along the Afghan border, which he claimed amounts to Rs550 billion annually, adding there isn’t a local official sitting on the border in Balochistan or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. “Who is responsible for this massive smuggling when there is military everywhere at border, and why have they failed to curb smuggling,” he questioned. He also highlighted alleged financial neglect of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by the federal government, asserting that the province has not received Rs1,500 billion owed to it. He claimed KP had contributed Rs3.3 billion to its health card scheme, while Islamabad contributed nothing substantial in return. Ayub referenced past government claims from July 2022 that talks with the TTP were ongoing, emphasising that these discussions predated PTI’s government. Referring to controversial events such as May 9 and November 26, Ayub demanded the establishment of a judicial commission for investigation. “Military courts are not the answer. Judicial officers should not be handed a single sheet of paper to read from and sentence individuals,” he said. He alleged that convictions of detainees, including that of Hassan Niazi, would ultimately be overturned by high courts. Ayub criticised Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi for alleged clearance of D-Chowk using American and British firearms, which were given to Pakistan during Afghan war, adding the American and British sophisticated weapons which were given to Pakistan were against peaceful protesters. He accused authorities of firing live ammunition during the operation, highlighting an alleged incident where a PTI supporter was shot in his shoulder, with the bullet exiting through his abdomen. Ayub said that the jailed party founding chairman Imran Khan is willing to reconcile in the best interest of the country. “Imran Khan told me recently that he forgives everyone for the sake of Pakistan,” he said. Speaking on the occasion, Shibli Faraz, the opposition leader in Senate, refuted the “false perception” that Imran Khan was seeking relief for himself in talks with PML-N-led coalition government. “Imran Khan stands firm on its principled stance and serving jail terms for the sake of people,” he said, adding, “The ruling coalition is doing false propaganda that Imran Khan is seeking relief for him, but let me say that talks will be held if all the political prisoners are released.” Responding to a question Faraz said that the PTI is a peaceful political party, adding that they were struggling for their rights within the ambit of the Constitution and the law. Referring to dozens of cases against PTI leadership, he said that they were fighting a legal battle in the court despite difficulties, insisting the second part of their struggle was a “peaceful protest”. He alleged that the incumbent government was working as per the dictation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), adding that they don’t care about lights of the people. He said that the PTI rejects fascist ideas and undemocratic thinking, and warned that the coalition government would be responsible if the talks are failed.
