I'm deeply humbled and honored to lead a massive rally of passionate youth and dedicated supporters from #NA262 Quetta to the RO office. Inspired by the vision of Chairman @BBhuttoZardari , I'm proud to be a part of the #PPP's mission to empower our people. At just 25 years old, I'm grateful for the trust and support of so many who believe in our vision for a better future.

yesterday, I, along with the people and friends of #NA262 constituency, went to submit my nomination papers for the upcoming by-election. Unfortunately, the Returning Officer (RO), was not persent in his office and didn’t submit our papers, which is a clear violation of the democratic process.
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people of #NA262 for their support and presence. We will not be deterred by this setback and will continue to fight for the rights of our people and for the democratic process.
Insha'Allah, we will challenge this act in the Court of Law and will emerge victorious and ensure that the voice of the people is heard loud and clear.

I am truly proud to represent @taleemabadapp as we sign this MOU with the School Education Department, @dpr_gob. I deeply appreciate their forward thinking approach in adopting AI technology. By bringing Rumi-Taleemabad (Ai powered WhatsApp chat bot) into public schools, we are taking a significant step toward empowering teachers with AI tools and understanding their needs in #Balochistan’s context.

پیٹرول سستا کیوں نہیں؟
جب حکومت پیٹرول مہنگا کرتی ہے تو ایک ہی رات میں 100 سے 150 روپے تک اضافہ کر دیتی ہے، مگر آج جب عالمی منڈی میں تیل کی قیمتیں نمایاں کم ہو چکی ہیں اور پاکستان میں 70 سے 80 روپے فی لیٹر تک کمی کی گنجائش موجود ہے، تو حکومت عوام کو یہ ریلیف کیوں نہیں دے رہی؟
عوام مہنگائی کے بوجھ تلے دب چکے ہیں۔ حکومت فوری طور پر پیٹرولیم مصنوعات کی قیمتوں میں نمایاں کمی کرے اور عالمی منڈی میں ہونے والی کمی کا فائدہ براہِ راست عوام تک پہنچائے۔

Alhamdulillah, the regulatory duty on smartphones has been abolished. A positive step towards making connectivity and technology more accessible and affordable for the people of Pakistan. #PTATax

کبھی وہ ماں تھیں، کبھی رہنما
کبھی خواب تھیں، کبھی صدا
راولپنڈی کی وہ شام آج بھی یاد ہے
ہجوم کے بیچ ایک امید آباد ہے
ہوا نے بھی جیسے کچھ کہا تھا اُس دن
کہ وقت اب ایک بڑا امتحان تھا اُس دن

Education and Priorities: Punjab’s Lack of Interest Raises Serious Questions
Education is the foundation of any nation’s intellectual economic and social development. The history of developed countries clearly shows that they first invested heavily in education and then built strong economies institutions and systems on that foundation. The same principle applies to Pakistan yet differences in provincial priorities have sparked a new debate.
According to the latest budget figures Punjab has allocated around 661 billion rupees for education while Sindh has allocated 523 billion rupees. At first glance Punjab’s education budget appears larger. However the picture changes significantly when viewed in relation to population.
Punjab’s population is approximately 127.69 million while Sindh’s population is around 55.70 million. On a per capita basis Punjab spends about 5177 rupees per person on education whereas Sindh spends approximately 9390 rupees per person. This means Sindh allocates nearly 81 percent more per capita funding to education compared to Punjab.
This difference is not merely numerical it reflects a difference in policy priorities. For a large and economically significant province like Punjab it raises an important question why is education not being prioritized at the level its population size and future demands require
Any state’s development cannot be measured only through roads bridges or large infrastructure projects. Real progress occurs when citizens are educated skilled and capable of competing in a modern world. Unfortunately education still does not receive the attention it deserves in many parts of Pakistan.
Although Punjab has a larger number of educational institutions issues related to quality infrastructure teacher training and basic facilities still persist. In rural areas problems such as poor school conditions teacher absenteeism and lack of modern learning resources continue to affect educational outcomes.
In comparison Sindh appears to place relatively greater emphasis on education through higher per capita investment. While challenges still exist there as well the budgetary commitment indicates a stronger focus on education as a long term investment.
Often larger provinces or governments highlight their total education budget as a measure of progress. However the real picture emerges only when per capita spending is considered. A larger population naturally dilutes per person investment making per capita analysis more meaningful in assessing actual educational priority.
Punjab’s case highlights this gap clearly. Despite a larger overall budget per capita investment remains lower due to its large population. Over time this imbalance can significantly affect human development indicators and overall social progress.
Education is not just another sector it is an investment that determines the future of coming generations. Neglecting it today can have long lasting consequences for decades to come.
It is therefore essential that the Punjab government not only increases its education budget but also ensures its effective utilization. Improving school infrastructure hiring and training teachers modernizing curricula and reducing the rural urban education gap are urgent priorities.

When young people turn toward politics, especially parliamentary politics, it happens when leadership is easily accessible and a genuine two way communication is possible. Leaders listen, inspire, and motivate them. In #Balochistan, the youth have strong political stamina, but it does not yet translate into parliamentary politics. The main hurdle is the low number of seats in both the provincial and especially the national assembly, combined with large constituencies and a dominance of electables, which makes it hard for any motivated young person to see a space for themselves in parliamentary politics.
@JamalRaisani I really appreciate every time you engage with the youth and motivate them toward parliamentary politics. I also appreciate your efforts in working on increasing Balochistan’s National Assembly seats. I hope these efforts continue, and by the end of this assembly term, Balochistan’s representation will grow beyond 17 seats.
I warmly welcome the Peace Deal between the United States and Iran. This breakthrough shows that diplomacy can succeed where confrontation cannot.
I commend President @AAliZardari, PM Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir @ISPR_Official for their leadership, and acknowledge DPM/FM Senator Ishaq Dar @MIshaqDar50, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi @MohsinnaqviC42, MoFA, and diplomatic teams from all sides whose dedicated efforts helped make this possible.
This is an important first step toward lasting peace. Pakistan remains ready to support the next phase of dialogue and negotiations.
Unfortunately, the government has neither reduced the PTA tax nor abolished the regulatory duty on mobile phones. It has also failed to remove the non-adjustable withholding tax and the mobile levy. We have decided to move an amendment to the Finance Bill and take the matter back to the committee. The game is on!
