On Monday, Russian Ambassador Albert Khorev announced that next week, negotiations will take place between Moscow and Pakistan to restore the Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM).

He told this to Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah during a meeting at Karachi’s Chief Minister House.

Pakistan wishes to improve its ties with Russia in the areas of health, education, and culture, the chief minister of Sindh stated at the meeting.

Speaking at the event, the Russian Ambassador stated that next week, specialists from Pakistan and Russia will talk about the restoration of the Steel Mill online. Following the online debate, the Russian delegation will visit the Steel Mill.

According to the Sindh chief minister, installing a new steel mill plant would be preferable since it would stabilize the economy and create jobs.

The state-owned company Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM), which has been suffering significant losses for years, was shut down by the federal government on July 3.

According to a statement from the Secretary of Industry and Production, the Sindh government has been offered the opportunity to acquire 700 acres of the PSM’s 19,000 acres of land and build its own steel plant there.

According to the secretary, they discovered that the Pakistan Steel Mills had no buyer last year. He went on to say, “The land will be used for industrial purposes, aside from 700 acres.”

According to Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Arif Sheikh, PSM’s financial losses and subpar performance have led the federal government to decide to shut it down.

The chief minister of KP, Ali Amin Gandapur, has been granted three weeks of transit bail in his plea with the Peshawar High Court (PHC).

The appeal for information regarding charges against Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur was considered by a two-judge panel from the PHC, which included Chief Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Sahibzada Asadullah.

The chief justice noted that the chief minister showed up for the court hearing, even though he was actually scheduled to be in Islamabad for an IMF meeting.

The applicant’s legal representative has asked for specifics of all pending charges against Chief Minister Gandapur, including those in Punjab.

According to the assistant attorney general, he told the ministry of the interior to adhere rigidly to court orders.

According to CJ Ibrahim, they have the option to request a response from the federal government and extend protection bail up to the Punjab region.

In every case, the additional attorney general ensured that court orders were implemented. He said that he had written to each district and requested details from the Punjab Police and the Inspector General.

The assistant attorney general has asked for an extension of three weeks to complete the report.

Gandapur could not attend the court daily due to his administrative duties and his position as chief minister and public office holder, according to Justice Asadullah.

After extending KP CM’s protective bail, the judge postponed the case hearing to December 17.

“Prepared to Protest”

Speaking to the media outside of PHC, KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur declared that he was prepared for the PTI protest meeting and that this time, the action plan will be stringent but undisclosed.

He emphasized that their peaceful protest was in accordance with their constitutionally protected right. According to him, his group was attacked, rubber bullets were shot, and routes were blocked so that protests couldn’t take place.

Importantly, on November 24th, Aleema Khan, who is the brother of PTI founder Imran Khan, said that her brother had called for a final protest.
