TAI WILL UPGRADE PAKISTAN F-16 MLU FIGHTERS WITH NIGHTTIME CAPABILITIES.

Seems some misreporting by the source, i have learned that the Falcon upgrade is only for the 13 aircraft that PAF acquired from Jordan and currently serving with No 19 squadron.
The rest of the fleet has gone through the MLU and are in par with Block-52s.

Is it similar MLU for ADF or just night strike capability?

All the fleet would be par with Block-52s.....the former Jordanian aircraft have over 5000 hours life in them.

yes it does make sense as MLU and Blck 52 upgrade and latest and would not need cockpit upgrade for night , ADF may need it to bring it to MLU level

Well if it is MLU that is being carried out then why is it being stated as just "Night time capabilities"?

As far as I know, these Ex-Jordan ADF-Vipers are equipped with the APG-66(V)2 radar and not the APG-68(V)9 that equip the Block-52 and the MLU-ed AMs & BMs which were already in the PAF fleet.
