**Quetta (Qudrat Daily):**
The Balochistan Assembly has taken strict notice of an alleged campaign of negative propaganda and character assassination against members of the provincial assembly through a social media page titled “Balochistan Leaks.”

On the ruling of Speaker Abdul Khaliq Achakzai, officials of the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) were summoned to brief the House on the matter. Leader of the Opposition Younas Aziz Zehri and other members, including Rehmat Saleh Baloch, Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman, Noor Muhammad Dumbar, and Ali Madad Jatak, termed the campaign a conspiracy aimed at undermining the credibility of democratic institutions.
