Norway said that they are not going to play in World Cup in Qatar even if they qualified (they didn’t). Denmark left it until the last minute to confirm their participation in the World Cup 2022Germany forced their players to make political statements before the match in FIFA WC 2022 even though some players didn’t want to do it.
BBC literally disrupted the coverage of one of the best opening ceremonies of the World Cup in Qatar just for virtue signaling.
but for World Cup 2026, the whole media is silent other than a few token articles here and there and Norway and Germany aren’t protesting anything when there’s so much to protest about 🤡
@fawadchaudhry@CMShehbaz Please ask King Munir to take "Islamic" out of Pakistan. And then let's go all in... Let's be honest, no one is interested in an Islamic nation.
On the Day of Arafah, Make Dua for What Feels Impossible
On the Day of Arafah, rotate between making dua and reciting this powerful dhikr:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ ، ولَهُ الْحَمْدُ ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ
There is no god worthy of worship but Allah. He is Alone and He has no partner whatsoever. To Him Alone belong all sovereignty and all praise. He is over all things All-Powerful.”
This day strengthens your yaqīn (certainty) that Allah is capable of all things. He is the Lord of the impossible.
So make dua for the things you think could never happen.
The dream that feels too far.
The healing that seems impossible.
The door that has never opened.
The change you think can’t come.
Ask Allah for all of it.
Because when Allah says “Be,” it is.
On the Cipher, the Coverup, and the Consequences:
Drop Site News published a document, claiming that it is the original Cipher I-0678 dated 7 March 2022, and it came from a military source. The world now believes that this is the smoking gun. Let's dissect it from there.
Pakistan's establishment spent four years suppressing, prosecuting people over it, claiming that it did not exist. The truth was forced out not from within Pakistan, but by an American investigative outlet. That fact alone is the indictment.
Donald Lu told Pakistan's Ambassador plainly: “All will be forgiven in Washington”, if the no-confidence motion against PM @ImranKhanPTI succeeded, while warning of isolation if it did not. This was not diplomacy. It was a threat and a bribe, delivered in the same breath, to a sovereign nation's ambassador. The NSC in its two meetings clearly stated that this amounted to unacceptable and blatant interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan and that the Govt. rightly issued a démarche.
On 12 May 2022, I as President formally wrote to CJP Umar Bandial requesting a Judicial Commission, open hearings, full investigation and truth be placed on record. This was published in all newspapers. (Please read the letter below, every word carries historic weight in world affairs of this nature).
CJP received that letter. Did not comment. Did not act. The judiciary's silence marked the beginning of its institutional surrender. Had that Commission been constituted, these questions would have been answered under oath: who received the cipher, who acted upon it, who domestically facilitated the foreign signal, and which institutions of the Pakistani state collaborated in the removal of an elected prime minister.
Pakistan would have had the truth. A man who warned the nation would not have been imprisoned on false charges arising from the very document the state refused to investigate. Instead, the nation got four years of compounding ruin.
A regime was not merely changed but democracy was dismantled, piece by piece, demolished with full institutional complicity at every level. Parliament was reduced to a 'stinking chamber of convenience'. PTI commanding the largest popular mandate in Pakistan's history had its electoral symbol stolen, its seats brazenly allocated to others by judicial decree, all to hand a 17-seat party, a fraudulent two-thirds majority.
PTI's workers were tried in military courts. Its voters were disenfranchised. Its leader imprisoned — on charges arising from the very document the state refused to examine. The 26th & 27th Amendments were coercively passed, turning the judiciary into a handmaiden of the executive, an instrument of crooked consolidation rather than a guardian of rights.
Now count the human cost. 44% of our people are below the poverty line, 105 million people that is 20 million more than in 2019. Real incomes have collapsed. GDP growth of barely 3% cannot keep pace with population, let alone absorb new labour. Terrorism is at its highest. Capital is leaving, not arriving. 22 million young Pakistanis are neither working nor studying, 25 million children are out of school. The direction is unambiguous: Pakistan is getting poorer, faster than ever.
These are not statistics. These are children going to bed hungry. Young men drowning on boats to shores that may kill them, because their own country is pushing them out. Mothers choosing between medicine and bread. Every single one of these human beings is a direct, traceable, forensic consequence of the decision made in April 2022 to subvert the democratic mandate of the Pakistani people. This is not an act of God. It is the price of a conspiracy with all its collaborators naked before the people.
Donald Lu issued a threat. He did not remove a government. Pakistanis removed a Pakistani government. General Bajwa in uniform. Some in robes. Some in ‘dastaar’. Corrupt politicians, some with deep pockets from Dubai. They chose a foreign signal over the people and the constitution they had sworn to protect. The perpetrators were not only foreign but local. Let that be stated plainly and permanently on the record.
To those who say, "this is the past, let us move forward", I say that: There is no investment without rule of law. There is no rule of law without an independent judiciary. And there is no independent judiciary that can be built upon the foundations of predominantly crooked judges. The path forward runs through the truth, not around it.
Pakistan's economic misery, its institutional decay, total corruption, national termites eating up everything, none of it is an act of God. It is the direct and traceable consequence of a criminal regime change, facilitated from without and executed from within.
The contents of the cipher as reported are now public. The record is clear. The usurpers remain in power orchestrating my country's misery. The only reasonable and just way forward is unambiguous: LEAVE and let my people LIVE.
It pains me to invoke Iqbal for those who betrayed this nation, but this verse is timeless:
جعفر از بنگال و صادق از دکن
ننگِ آدم، ننگِ دیں، ننگِ وطن
Jaffer of Bengal, Sadiq of Deccan,
Disgrace to humanity, disgrace to faith, disgrace to country.
The cipher has spoken. Now Pakistan must. 🇵🇰
Stop Chasing the Ways of Your Enemy!
How can a Muslim hope for respect if he imitates those who oppose Allah? Sadly, many young Muslims today follow the habits and practices of non-Muslims, while shying away from the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions.
Yet, in every rakʿah of salah, we ask Allah: “Guide us to the straight path, the path of those You have blessed; not of those who have earned Your anger or gone astray.”
Do we truly reflect on these words? How can we sincerely ask to follow the path of the righteous while imitating those who have strayed from it?
True honour comes from following Allah’s guidance, not mimicking those who stray. Seek His path and protection every day.
My leader @ImranKhanPTI sits in jail with his health in jeopardy. His imprisonment weighs on us every day. But I know him well enough to say this: He would want Pakistan's young people to keep building, to take on the world. Especially in AI. Especially now, without losing sight of the political struggle, which we will not abandon.
This thread is for them 🧵

Forced to stay away from my country gave me two benefits: More time and more passion. I chose not to waste either. This is a personal account:
It started with my need to transcribe my long speeches, some over thirty minutes, in mixed English and Urdu on YouTube (which gave a Hindi/Sanskrit transcript). The platforms available would do a bad job with the mix. So, I asked my coaches — ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini and I concluded to do it myself, locally, with Whisper’s large, medium & small models and other AI tools. This was completed in Dec ‘25
For the sake of open source and transparency, I am publishing it on GitHub.

In January ’26, I began building the Dr Arif Alvi AI Archive. An attempt to bring together everything I had said, written, read, and recorded across decades, and make it searchable, synthesizable, MINE.
I built it alone. No team. No budget. Just time, curiosity, and persistence.
It runs entirely on my enhanced laptop. My data never leaves it.
My AI agents ingest my writings/articles; thousands of books read and summarised; millions of words of archival material; my thousands of speeches on YouTube press conferences; thousands of talk show appearances since 2000 and clips on YouTube. All scraped from the net via APIs— indexed, and alive inside my local RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) system that answers back.
My 50,000+ tweets are searchable faster than X's own tools. Not just by keyword but semantically.
None of it leaves my computer or enters the public domain, remains private.
—
The local LLMs answer questions, draft research briefs, synthesize across all data. When I need to reach beyond my own archive, they augment from public LLMs — ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, others.
I use the archive every day, updating it regularly. It has changed how I think and work.
—
Following are the layers of the stack — what I built is one-of-one. But what I built it from is available to every-one:
▶️ Ollama / Llama / Phi / Qwen — local LLMs running entirely on-device
▶️ Whisper — bilingual English-Urdu speech transcription
▶️ ChromaDB — vector memory across 70,000+ chunks
▶️ Sentence Transformers — semantic search across tweets, speeches, and archives
▶️ Streamlit — dashboard with dual modes: semantic search and AI research
▶️ Six LLM interfaces (ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot) for python scripts and for augmentation of local output
▶️ OpenClaw and GitHub — for code management
▶️VS Code — for scripts and code writing
None of them are mine. The COMPOSITION is mine.

I should tell you what it took to get here.
I started learning Python basics from online courses. I am not a programmer, but I reviewed and iterated over a million lines of scripts —learning, correcting, improving, understanding—just enough to keep going.
I had launched Pakistan's Presidential Initiative on Artificial Intelligence in 2019. I thought I understood AI but I took advanced courses anyway. There is always more to learn, and humility about ignorance is not a weakness. It is the only honest starting point.
—
There are tens of thousands of students, researchers, operators, lawyers, and doctors across Pakistan and the world, quietly trying to dabble in AI right now.
To them I would say: software writing is mostly done by machines today. You do not need to become a programmer. You need to understand enough to read, direct, correct and employ tools — like a symphony conductor, with an AI baton.
More than anything, pick a project. Something real, something yours.🔑 Scripts fill the architecture. Concrete fills the blueprint.
GET TO WORK
And do not move slowly. AI tools and agentic systems are changing every single day. What was remarkable yesterday is ordinary today. Sometimes the gap is hours, not months.
The people who stay ahead are not waiting to fully understand it before they begin.
THEY ARE ALREADY BUILDING.
—
Pakistan cannot afford to fall behind in this.
Not out of nostalgia for what Pakistan was, but out of economic and strategic urgency for what it must become — because our talented, hungry people can build anything when given the tools and the leadership.
This is for them.

"When they are told, “Do not spread corruption in the land,” they reply, “We are only peace-makers! Indeed, it is they who are the corruptors, but they fail to perceive it." [Surah Baqara 2:11]
Did you know there’s a specific time every single day where rizq is distributed?
And most people are either asleep or distracted through it.
Here’s what the Prophet S.A.W said:
When the tyrannical king of the Sassanids tore up the letter of the Prophet ﷺ in contempt, the Prophet ﷺ remarked, “God shall tear his kingdom up as he tore my letter.”
We learn from the Qur’ān: “Whoever commits evil will be repaid with its like” [4:123].
While we don't gloat over anyone's sickness, we see a clear lesson here: Never invoke the punishment of God on innocent people, lest you become the subject of your own curse.
THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH ﷺ SAID:
"There will come upon the people years of deceit - in which the liar will be believed and the truthful will be disbelieved, the treacherous will be trusted and the trustworthy will be considered treacherous — and the Ruwaybidah will speak." .....
