‘The intellectual is someone who cannot easily be co-opted by governments or corporations, whose raison d'etre is to represent all those people & issues that are routinely forgotten or swept under the rug’.
~Edward Said, Professor at Columbia University 1963-2003

یہ بچوں کے ساتھ جنسی زیادتی کے سہولت کار اب آپکو رمضان کی برکتوں کے لیکچر دیں گے اور اپنی مسجدوں کے لئے چندے اکٹھے کریں گے جہاں ممبروں پہ بیٹھ کے معاشرے میں بے حیائی کا ذمےدار سکول اور کالجوں کو ٹھہرائیں گے اور عورتوں کو جہنم کی وعید سنائیں گے۔ لعنت ہو ان پر!
Only thing I have to say about Aitchison College is that on its premises there is a separate school for kids of the custodial staff who watch rich boys playing football and riding horses and doing parades, and then these kids are brought in on sports day for a separate race for kids of the ‘campus school’. Those kids will never have the means to express their feelings of humiliation and alienation
The UN Security Council has finally voted for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. It must be implemented, now.
It is a stain on humanity that it took the deaths of more than 30,000 people to bring this about. We will continue to campaign for peace, justice, and a free Palestine.
The Security Council just approved a long-awaited resolution on Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.
Gwadar is under water right now due to climate change induced storms. Working class fisherman who are at the frontlines are displaced while 70% of the homes are destroyed. We're trying to fundraise for food, immediate shelter, and medical care. Please dm to donate and respost!!!
آٹا، پل، سڑکیں نہیں چاہئیں، تھری جی، فور جی نہیں چاہئیں، لیپ ٹاپ نہیں چاہئیں، دانش سکول فضول ہیں، میٹرو بسیں نہیں چاہئیں، بینظیر انکم سپورٹ نہیں چاہیے، ہم انہیں انڈے دیں گے، کٹے دیں گے، مرغیاں دیں گے، پانی کے کنویں میں سے گیس دیں گے، ارطغرل دیں گے، اقبال کا شاہین دیں گے
During this scene in 'Interstellar', you can hear a ticking noise on the soundtrack every 1.25 seconds. Each tick represents a day passing on Earth.
MIND=BLOWN😱
Terrible visuals coming from Lahore. Arrests of PTI candidate Salman Akram Raja, scuffles with women protesters calling out rigging. Ridiculous and badly handled. The playbook is broken. Stop. Rethink.
They reduce politics to a soap opera, wield the big stick against all who defy them & then unleash touts in mainstream parties/media/bureaucracy to generate more sensation.
Khaki Raj thrives on chaos.
To demilitarise state & society we must close ranks.
#ReleaseSalmanAkramRaja
All of this chaos could be avoided if they just let PTI rule. They are the most popular party.
If the boys believe they are incompetent, just let them rule & they will be voted out in 2029. It's not like the current set up with such instability is helping Pakistan anyway.
