Pakistan Escalates Drive Against Alleged Anti‑State Narrative With Senate Sanctions and Security Gains

The state is translating the military’s warning into Senate discipline, treason referrals, plus kinetic gains.

Overview

  • Acting Chairman Senate Syed Al Khan will formally warn PTI’s parliamentary leadership that speeches against institutions, disrupting proceedings, or bringing provocative material could trigger membership suspensions.
  • Senior ministers publicly backed the DG ISPR press conference, calling anti‑army messaging unacceptable and urging legal action, with some invoking Article 6 for alleged offenders.
  • ISPR reported 12 ‘Indian‑sponsored’ militants killed in a Qalat operation, with clearance efforts continuing and Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif praising the forces’ performance.
  • Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti said roughly 100 militants surrendered in Dera Bugti and reiterated an open‑door policy for those laying down arms.
  • Residents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa voiced support for the army, condemned anti‑forces rhetoric, and warned about AI‑aided disinformation on social media.
