IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS IN CHINA, PAKISTAN, BANGLADESH, NEPAL 23 MAR 25

 China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) has begun utilising the AI tool "DeepSeek" for non-combat functions, particularly in military hospitals, to aid doctors in developing treatment plans and other civilian applications. The deployment of DeepSeek's open-source large language models (LLMs) has been reported in various PLA hospitals and national defence mobilization agencies, including the PLA Central Theatre Command’s general hospital, which noted that the AI could provide treatment suggestions while ensuring patient privacy and data security by processing information on local servers.


 Pakistan's Army reported the killing of 16 Islamist militants along the country's western border with Afghanistan, according to a statement released on Sunday. The militants were engaged and killed during an exchange of fire in the North Waziristan district between the night of March 22 and 23. The Army indicated that its troops effectively thwarted the militants' attempt to infiltrate into Pakistan. Islamabad claims that Islamist militants who conduct attacks within Pakistan and against the army have safe havens in Afghanistan.


In Pakistan's Balochistan province, eight people—four policemen and four laborers— were killed in two separate incidents involving unidentified armed men. The first attack occurred when gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on a police patrol in Noshki city, killing four policemen. The second incident involved the shooting of four laborers from Punjab in Kalat's Mangochar city. Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti condemned the incidents as a "brutal act of terrorism," which escalates the already tense security situation following a recent terrorist hijacking of the Jaffar Express train in Bolan district. 

 

The Bangladesh Army has rejected allegations from the newly formed student-led National Citizen Party (NCP) that it is planning to support the rehabilitation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League, dismissing the claims as "hilarious and immaturity." The NCP staged protests at Dhaka University, accusing the military of political interference and vowing to oppose any "military-backed plot" to reinstate the Awami League. Following a courtesy meeting between Army chief General Waker Uz Zaman and two NCP leaders, the military stated that the meeting was misrepresented by the party. The NCP's leaders called for the military to refrain from political involvement, asserting that any influence from military institutions in politics will not be tolerated in Bangladesh's future. 

  Nepal's Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, also the president of the Nepali Congress, stated that the country will not revert to a monarchy, asserting that former King Gyanendra Shah is unsuitable for the role of constitutional monarch. His comments came amid pro-monarchist rallies in Kathmandu and other areas, where supporters are demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy, abolished in 2008. Deuba suggested that the pro-monarchist Rastriya Prajatantra Party should consider naming the former king as its chairman.
