I am alarmed, shocked & deeply disturbed over the current situation in the country arising out of the arrest & manhandling of the former PM Imran Khan. The loss of human lives as an aftermath is heart-wrenching, regrettable, unfortunate & highly condemnable.
Protest is a constitutional right of every citizen of Pakistan but should always remain within the bounds of the law. The way some miscreants have damaged public property, particularly government and military buildings, is condemnable.
We must have a re-Think & look for political solutions, rather than coercion & arrests. I have conveyed my concerns to the political & military leadership & am hopeful that the situation can improve. I strongly appeal to all citizens of the country to remain peaceful.
The #Taliban Interim Govt in #Afghanistan calls for peace in neighboring #Pakistan after the party of former PM #ImranKhan storms military buildings. Taliban emphasizes "political stability in Pakistan after large-scale protests and even violence in some cases." /1
Pak media is suppressing information about ongoing protests and disturbance on the streets. This is the worst thing to do. Citizens have a right to know more so for the safety of families that may have to travel. Spoke to a colleague who lives close to Liberty Market Lahore. He says there is shelling going on. Power transmission is disturbed and so are internet services. This is ridiculous. What else is a martial law?
I oppose IK's arrest & am deeply worried about the safety of his supporters, but can't they see how their own dear leader was complicit in the same tactics when used against his opponents? The cycle will only end when all parties unite against those who are behind this mess.

Through rigorous training, modernisation, and the implementation of counter-terrorism strategies, Pakistan Army has successfully disrupted numerous terrorist networks operating within the country.
COAS General Asim Munir's emphasis on cooperation with international partners has been instrumental in neutralizing threats and preventing acts of violence.
The competence of the Pakistan army under his command has been evident through successful counter-terrorism operations, improved border security, and effective disaster management.
The soldiers, under his guidance, have displayed remarkable bravery, professionalism, and dedication to safeguarding the nation.

Chairman PTI has levelled highly irresponsible and baseless allegations against a serving senior military officer without any evidence.
@OfficialDGISPR#PakistanArmy#ISI#ISPR
These fabricated and malicious allegations are extremely unfortunate, deplorable and unacceptable. This has been a consistent pattern for last one year wherein military and intelligence agencies officials are targeted with insinuations and sensational propaganda for the furtherance of political objectives.
We ask the political leader concerned to make a recourse to legal avenues and stop making false allegations. The institution reserves the right to take legal course of action against patently false and malafide statements and propaganda.

Go back to your homes Imran Khan supporters. You are creating a situation that will be used to justify a termination of all democracy in Pakistan. IK is a supreme narcissist who is burning down the house as he can’t be crowned king for life.
Go home. Don’t open the floodgates…
Incredible things have happened in Pakistan during the past few hours.
A supporter of former PM Imran Khan addresses the Army chief and claims that he burnt down a check-post.
Signs of a coup in the making - information blackout, arresting a former head of state, enabling mass unrest to appear as saviors.
The reason history repeats itself is because the people who plan and execute it are the same.
⚠️ Update: In addition to social media restrictions, real-time network data show that total internet shutdowns are now in effect in some regions of #Pakistan; the disruptions have been imposed amid the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan

@HaiderKaleemB Yeah dude - you don't text or call people you live with. You talk to them dumbass. She's texting and messaging the guy because they don't live together. She lives with her dad so clearly there won't be call or text records. And even if she didn't, does that justify her murder?
Up now: Lady Gaga singing the national anthem.
She campaigned for Biden in 2020 and also worked with him on domestic violence issues when he was veep. https://t.co/548xuxJcqh
