No headway in talks over suspended PTI MPAs, dialogue to continue

The second round of negotiations between the Punjab government and the opposition over the reinstatement of 26 suspended members of the provincial assembly concluded on Sunday without any resolution, though both sides agreed to continue dialogue in the coming days. According to sources familiar with the discussions, the government and opposition failed to reach a consensus regarding the suspension of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers, whose membership remains inactive following a heated session last month. The lawmakers were suspended by Punjab Assembly Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan after opposition benches disrupted Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s speech on June 27. The session descended into chaos as treasury and opposition members engaged in a physical altercation, despite repeated appeals by the Speaker to restore order.

Dalai Lama succession a ‘thorn’ in China-India ties, says Chinese embassy

The succession of Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, is a thorn in China-India relations, the Chinese embassy in New Delhi said on Sunday, as India’s foreign minister prepares to visit China for the first time since deadly border clashes in 2020. Ahead of celebrations this month for his 90th birthday that were attended by senior Indian ministers, the head of Tibetan Buddhists riled China again by saying it had no role in his succession. Tibetans believe the soul of any senior Buddhist monk is reincarnated after his death, but China says the Dalai Lama’s succession will also have to be approved by its leaders. The Dalai Lama has been living in exile in India since 1959 following a failed uprising against Chinese rule in Tibet, and Indian foreign relations experts say his presence gives New Delhi leverage against China. India is also home to about 70,000 Tibetans and a Tibetan government-in-exile. Yu Jing, a Chinese embassy spokesperson, said on social media app X that some people...

Worker dies after US immigration raid on California cannabis farm

A farm worker died on Friday, his family said, after being injured during a raid by US immigration agents on a legal cannabis farm in California that resulted in the arrests of 200 undocumented migrants and clashes with protesters. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, called demonstrators involved in attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents "slimeballs" and said they should be arrested. In another development, a district judge ordered a halt to "roving patrols" in Los Angeles by federal agents who were detaining suspected undocumented migrants without probable cause and denying them due process. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong ordered an end to the arrests, which she said were being made "based upon race alone," on whether a person was speaking Spanish or English with an accent or because of their place of work.Trump's remarks and the court order come a day after a chaotic raid on a cannabis plantation in Ventura County some...
