Pakistan's Stand on Yemen; NA-246 By-Poll; Xi Jinping’s visit; Realignment in South Asia

Does public opinion on the Yemen crisis indicate a shift in the positive direction for Pakistan? Should the Pakistani forces take part in a Saudi ground assault on Yemen? Is Iran really behind the Houthis?

Will the Chinese premier Xi Jinping’s Pakistan visit be a game-changer? What does an MSR (Maritime Silk Route) mean to the Balochs and the Balochistan insurgency? 

How are India  and Pakistan realigning themselves in post Cold War World?

کیا پاکستان میں یمن کے متعلق بالغ رائے عامہ ظاہر کرتی ہے کہ پاکستان میں حالات بہتری کی طرف گامزن ہیں؟ کیا پاکستانی فوج کو یمن میں فوجی چڑھائی میں سعودی عرب کا ساتھ دینا چاہیے؟ کیا اس دفعہ این اے ۲۴۶ میں متحدہ قومی موومنٹ کو واقعی شکست ہوسکتی ہے؟ کیا چینی صدر کا اسلام آباد کا دورہ پاکستان کے معاشی حالات یکسر تبدیل کردے گا؟ کیا گوادر کراچی ریلوے لائن کا منصوبہ بلوچستان کے خراب حالات میں مکمل ہوپائے گا؟ کیا ہندوستان کا جھکائو مغرب کی طرف بڑھ رہا ہے جب کہ پاکستان چین اور روس سے تعلقات بہتر کررہا ہے؟
