Eid Mubarak to my Pakistanis.
This is the most painful Eid for me.
Around 10,000 of our workers and supporters are jailed and being treated as criminals for exercising their constitutional right to protest peacefully.
Our brave leaders including women leaders, Dr Yasmin Rashid and Aliya Hamza are in jail and refusing to leave PTI.
16 of our workers shot dead and 8 others suspected to have been killed but cannot be confirmed because relatives have gone underground because of the fear of police.
50 others suffered bullet wounds.
Shockingly no mention of the use of this excessive force by security forces on unarmed protesters. And no independent investigation to ascertain what really happened on 9th May.
Instead, by peddling a one sided anti-PTI official narrative, a reign of terror has been unleashed on anyone associated with the party with only one aim to dismantle it before elections.
InshAllah PTI and the nation will come out of this dark phase much stronger.
Also, there's been a total clampdown on media with all those critical of this fascist government facing its wrath.
Imran Riaz Khan has been abducted and his whereabouts unknown for over 40 days now, and 5 of our respected journalists who have had to flee the country, we remember them too on this Eid.
Last year on the 25th of May commenced our descent into fascism. While three long marches by PDM during the 3.5 years of PTI govt were allowed without any hindrance, we faced the full force of state terror.
Houses broken in the middle of the night and PTI office bearers and workers kidnapped. And then whoever got to Islamabad faced tear gas, rubber bullets and police brutality.
Some of us thought it was one off but that was just the beginning.
Today the largest and the only Federal party is facing the full fury of state power without any accountability. Over 10,000 PTI workers and supporters in jail including senior leadership and some facing custodial torture.
On the pretext of arson on 9th may (condemned by the entire PTI leadership) the state is trying to dismantle the party including “forced divorces” and trying PTI members in military courts. Those in PDM and the journalist community who are cheerleaders for this yazeediyat should know that this is not dismantling PTI but our democracy i.e. our freedom.
However this attempt to enslave us will fail as we have a politically aware young population who despite media being muzzled gets its information from Social Media.
We had all heard about forced marriages in Pakistan but for PTI a new phenomenon has emerged , forced divorces.
Also wondering where have all the human rights organizations in the country disappeared.
Everyone knows the public is with Imran Khan. Why not let the public have their way?
The establishment thinks they know better. If they knew better, the country wouldn't be at the brink of destruction (economically and socially), and the people wouldn't hate on the military.
An ideology runs deep in the heart & soul of a nation!
An ideology can not be threatened, tortured or killed!
An ideology can sustain every fascist trick in the book!
And… An ideology will alway find a way to turn itself into a reality!

The hero of the day was the little boy who ran to help his mother, who was stuck in the air while fixing the garage door. He was able to lift the big ladder by himself👏👏👏
Tough pill for many to swallow:
Your emotions, thoughts, actions, and convictions are BEHAVIOURS that have been ACQUIRED through instruction and experience.
You aren’t “just that way”
You LEARNED to be this way. You have been conditioned. And you will remain this way
Until…
