Amid growing concern over rising infiltration and “unnatural changes” in border areas, the Centre on Tuesday announced the setting up of a high-level committee on demographic change, which will be led by Justice (Retd) Prakash Prabhakar Nawalkar. Home Minister Amit Shah announced this in a post on X, elaborating that the Centre has taken the decision to form the panel after Prime Minister Narendra Modi had, on August 15 last year, announced that such a committee would be formed. The committee will comprise the Census Commissioner and retired IAS officer Durga Shankar Mishra, retired IPS officer Balaji Srivastava and economist Shamika Ravi.

Giving in to the pressure of some “extremist elements”, Pakistan’s Punjab government has deferred its plan to restore original historical names of roads and several streets in Lahore, aimed at reviving the city’s pre-Partition heritage, an official said on Tuesday. The Lahore Heritage Areas Revival (LAHR), in its recently held meeting, jointly presided over by PML-N president and three-time former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, gave approval to the restoration of original historical names of roads and streets in Lahore and its neighbourhood. The Chief Minister’s office informed the media about the decision in a statement.

Sharif, who is currently not active in politics after the February 2024 general election, is the head of LAHR. The government, however, appears to have taken a U-turn on the decision, saying it is still considering restoring the original names of Lahore’s roads and streets. “No such decision has been taken yet,” Lahore Deputy Commissioner Capt R Muhammad Ali Ijaz told Dawn on Monday. When asked that both Sharif and Maryam had given approval to the restoration of the original names of roads and streets, and the CM office duly issued a handout in this regard on March 20, Ijaz insisted that “no decision has been taken yet as the matter is under discussion”.

An official source, however, said that some extremist elements, including vloggers, strongly criticised Maryam for restoring pre-Partition “Hindu and Sikh” names of the roads and streets in Lahore. “As the critics gave the government’s decision a religious colour, the Maryam Nawaz administration has gone on the backfoot and deferred the decision to avert backlash,” he said. After the backlash from extremist elements, LHAR recently held a gathering of scholars, historians, architects, urban planners, and other prominent persons and sought their suggestions on the “proposal” to restore the original names of roads, streets, and localities across Lahore.

Jaishankar said the four countries would deliberate on “shared activities” against the backdrop of rapidly evolving global challenge, we have to address issues like supply chain resilience, connectivity choke points, manufacturing and resource concentrations, and gaps in critical infrastructure,” Jaishankar said, adding that each challenge strengthened the case for “more partnerships, stronger growth and realising the promise of technologies”.

The Quad grouping on Tuesday sharpened its focus on Indo-Pacific security, resilient supply chains and strategic cooperation amid growing geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, as the foreign ministers of India, the United States, Japan and Australia met in New Delhi for high-level talks.

Opening the Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said the four countries would deliberate on “shared activities” against the backdrop of rapidly evolving global challenges, with particular focus on the Indo-Pacific. “At the global level, we have to address issues like supply chain resilience, connectivity choke points, manufacturing and resource concentrations, and gaps in critical infrastructure,” Jaishankar said, adding that each challenge strengthened the case for “more partnerships, stronger growth and realising the promise of technologies”. He said the Indo-Pacific required enhanced strategic confidence, maritime security, economic choices and “trusted and transparent partnerships”. Describing the Quad nations as “maritime democracies, pluralistic societies and market economies”, Jaishankar said they shared a collective responsibility toward ensuring a “free and open Indo-Pacific”.

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the region was under pressure from “accelerating contest, a deteriorating strategic environment and acute economic stress”, but stressed that the Quad remained committed to delivering concrete outcomes. “We all share a vision for the Indo-Pacific — a region that is free and open, peaceful, stable and prosperous,” Wong said, highlighting cooperation on disaster response, maritime security, undersea cables and critical minerals.

Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said the Quad sent an “unshakable message” about advancing practical cooperation to realise a free and open Indo-Pacific amid structural changes in the international order.
