Islamabad: The condition of Pakistan’s economic condition is such that it reached the verge of bankruptcy last year, but at the last moment the bail out package of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) saved it for some time. At this time, Pakistan is once again standing in front of the IMF with outstretched hands and is appealing for financial help to save itself. At present, people in Pakistan are trying to somehow escape from the country, but its Prime Minister is busy competing with India. Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said that if Pakistan works hard and honestly, it will leave behind India or even a bigger economy.
Tax evasion of 6.9 percent of GDP
Shehbaz Sharif’s comments have come at a time when Pakistan is facing cash crisis and tax evasion in the country is at its peak. Tax evasion (revenue gap) is estimated to be about 5800 billion Pakistani rupees ($20 billion) during 2022-2023, which is 6.9 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). On the other hand, New Delhi has said this week that India has collected a record $ 25.15 billion (Rs 2097 billion) in the form of GST in April,
US Warns Of New Threat: Test Model Of…

A test model of a new Russian nuclear weapon that is attached to a satellite and would make it possible to destroy satellites in space is already floating in orbit around the Earth. US Deputy Secretary Mallory Stewart has warned about this. She wants to increase the pressure on China, among others, to veto its use.
Fears have been growing in Washington for several years that a new type of nuclear weapon is being built in Russia. That would be one that, unlike the nuclear weapons we know so far, cannot be used on Earth. It is one that is designed to operate in space and wreak havoc there.
Fears have only increased recently, especially when the US and Japan presented a resolution in the UN Security Council on April 24 calling for a ban on such weapons in orbit around the Earth. It was Russia that was the only member state to veto. For the US, this is confirmation of what was already feared. China abstained from the vote.
Already launched
How concrete the American information about that weapon is is evident from a conversation that the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank had with Mallory Stewart in Washington on Friday.

LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS Increase In The Number Of Polling…
Less than a month before the legislative elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (Ceni) is finalizing the final adjustments. Reached by telephone yesterday, the first vice-president of the body said that the number of polling stations was increased compared to the 2019 elections. This increase mainly results from the increase in the number of voters. Similarly, the expansion in the number of districts could also be a probable reason for this situation.
At the same time, the Ceni is continuing its preparations this week while awaiting the arrival of sensitive printed matter from South Africa. These documents are expected to arrive before the start of the electoral campaign. The question currently being asked concerns the likely rate of voter turnout on May 29, taking into account the increase in their numbers as well as the number of polling stations.

The Only Afghan Diplomat Submits Her Resignation After…
India – Zakia Wardak, the Afghan Consul General in Mumbai, India, announced her resignation after reports emerged in the Indian media that she had been detained on charges of gold smuggling.
Zakia Wardak is considered the only woman in the Afghan diplomatic corps, and she was appointed before the Taliban seized power in 2021.
Wardak announced her resignation in a post on the “X” platform yesterday, Saturday, after Indian media reported last week that she was briefly detained at the city’s airport on charges of smuggling 25 pieces of gold, each weighing one kilogram.
According to Indian media reports, she was not arrested due to her diplomatic immunity.
Wardak did not mention what was reported about her arrest or the allegations of gold smuggling, and she wrote on “Eki”: “I am deeply sorry that I am the only woman in the Afghan diplomatic corps, and instead of receiving constructive support to maintain this position, I faced waves of organized attacks aimed at destroying me.” .
She added: “Over the past year, I have faced numerous personal attacks and defamation not only against me but also against my close family and extended relatives.”
“It greatly impacted my ability to work effectively in my role and demonstrated the challenges women face in Afghan society,” Wardak said.

DEBATE. The result of the latest international knowledge measurement, PIRLS, showed that reading comprehension among Swedish students in grade four deteriorated between 2016 and 2021. The result can be explained in several different ways. For example, the measurement was carried out in 2021, during the pandemic, when sickness absence among both students and teachers was high, which of course may have had a negative impact on students’ learning, not only when it comes to reading comprehension.
But if the result is examined more closely, another very clear picture also emerges. Between 2016 and 2021, reading comprehension for fourth graders who always speak Swedish at home was unchanged, if anything it increased. Pupils with Swedish as their mother tongue perform above the OECD average.
