@HamidMirPAK Bowing down to female diplomats is another thing. The argument that women don't make good cops should be viewed without bringing the "patriarchal mentality hai" blame. One should start with how often do we get to see female SSPs in Ghotki/ Kashmore ?

@aitzaz_mayo That resistance must have been regarding who will sell the seats....It's 4-6 crores for the seat of a DSP here in Sindh. In Sindh, we are subjects not citizens.

[Babar Ayoob @BabarAyoob1]

@faisaldevji Well, Islam and Politics are not something to be treated separately. They are the same thing! Political Islam is just some made-up Western term.

[Babar Ayoob @BabarAyoob1]

@CountAtlas Neither is Khilafat mentioned. These are basically prayers written by different individuals not critiques of what followed after the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him.

[Babar Ayoob @BabarAyoob1]

@Shehzad89 Well, I think it's high time we talked about real issues facing Sindh. Making our Sindhi ethnicity the central point of every discussion is a bit too much . You can use The Pakistan Experience in a much better and more powerful and positive way.

@sabreenaGS Imran is self-styled Islamist whose entire life is a contradiction and absolute rejection of what he claimed he stood for after entering politics. He did not stand against the corrupt system he wanted to own it and be the master , and it backfired.

@kashmiricanibal If this is the level of his teaching then he definitely should serve some time in jail.

@theRealYLH @grok As much as you have the right to condemn Mahmud Ghaznavi attacking Multan ruled by a Muslim ruler.

@WalayatMalik1 Pakistan was founded by corrupt elites, and since its inception has remained under their tight grip. Democratically elected governments have, unfortunately, been equally , if not more, culpable of this crime.

@sohailabid Exactly ....it either belongs to both the countries or none. But, no single country can claim to be the sole heir to a civilization which was not divided by borders carved up in 1947.

[Babar Ayoob @BabarAyoob1]

@WalayatMalik1 @alizafar7486 That's probably the most logical way to strengthen democracy at grassroots levels.

[Babar Ayoob @BabarAyoob1]

@WalayatMalik1 @CMShehbaz @NawazSharifMNS The chances of any reforms succeeding at dismantling the traditional power blocks are very low. The reason is that the Pakistani state has adapted itself to such oppressive and apathetic system .

@Yaduvam Didn't Kushans originate in China?

[Babar Ayoob @BabarAyoob1]

@AkhtarH15638653 Reforms, though disruptive temporarily , were indeed necessary. Bhutto was actually the only person who dared to do this. He paid for those with his life .

[Babar Ayoob @BabarAyoob1]

@aamirghauri @mehroozw However, both Pakistan and India despite claiming to have nurtured under the same civilization stand in stark contrast to what that very civilization is known for, peace, progress , equity and equality .

[Babar Ayoob @BabarAyoob1]

@aamirghauri @mehroozw Both nations fall short of claiming to be the true inheritors of the IVC . Neither based on geographical congruity nor on religious parallels i.e., idol worship. The Indus Valley Civilization stands as a symbol of unmatched progress and peace.

An incident is circulating on Facebook where a person is holding another person accountable for sacrificing an animal ? Yes, this is Pakistan not India, but does it already sound similar to Hindutva? @BBhuttoZardari

@ikstaaanacc She wants to say that religion along with the support from the Army and America are indispensable for any government to complete the term.
