Yesterday in Question Hour, I raised serious concerns over PIA’s staggering Rs720 billion losses and the recent Rs24 billion so-called “bridge financing,” of which Rs17 billion has been shifted from PIACL to the holding company PIAHCL. The government failed to answer a basic question: who will ultimately bear this...

Today I set out deep concerns about how the Government has handled decisions and communications surrounding the recent China spying case and the question of whether China poses a threat to the UK’s national security. The Government has made it difficult to obtain clear information about the timeline of meetings and the reasoning behind official statements. The Government’s approach has been evasive and inconsistent, with denials later giving way to partial admissions. This lack of transparency has eroded confidence and made it harder to get to the truth. At the heart of the issue is the role of the Deputy National Security Adviser (DNSA), who told Parliament that he was simply reflecting the Government’s position when asked whether China poses an active national security threat. I argued that this is not good enough. The question was a straightforward one, and the answer should have been equally straightforward: China does pose a threat to the UK’s national security across multiple fronts, from espionage and cyberattacks to sanctions and disinformation. I raised concerns about the meeting on 1 Sept, which appears to contradict earlier statements by the Prime Minister that no further evidence or discussions took place after that date. If such a meeting did occur with senior security officials present, the Government should release the minutes, at the very least to the Intelligence and Security Committee, to clarify what was discussed. I called for honesty and clarity in how the UK defines and responds to threats from China. Those of us who have been sanctioned and targeted by the Chinese state know first-hand how that threat manifests. The Government must stop obfuscating and start treating this issue with the seriousness it deserves: by acknowledging the reality of the threat, being transparent with Parliament and the public, and taking firm, decisive action to protect our national security.

#WATCH | Goa: Former MoS MEA, MJ Akbar says, "Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is worried about every single drop of water on the Indus, saying it is a red line. The message from India is different. Every single drop of Indian blood lost to terrorism sponsored by Pakistan needs accountability; Pakistan has to give an answer. Blood and water will not flow together. The full truth about Pakistan has been exposed by a very major Pakistani leader, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, head of the Jamait, who has told the Pakistani government, the prime minister, as well as the real chief of Pakistan, their field marshal, Asim Munir, who is the head of the armed forces, he has told them to first gargle before they say anything because he hints that the voices have become unclean with the untruth. The truth about Pakistan, which he has exposed himself, is that more than 80% of Balochistan today is out of control and governance of Islamabad. 80% of Balochistan is virtually independent. It is free. It is certainly outside the control of Pakistan. In the last 24 hours, Pakistan has bombed Pakistan in Balochistan. The fact of the matter is that Pakistan is crumbling on its Independence Day. It has become what I have described in my book as a jelly state, which will neither be stable nor will it disappear. The truth about Pakistan is known to those who have suffered the brutality of the Pakistan army in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, in Khyber and Pakhtunkhwa, and in Sindh. This truth is known to the Pakistani people. Pakistan is on the edge."
