Latest tweet by Imran Khan’s son @Kasim_Khan_1999

“He [Imran Khan] urgently needs medical attention, and with no family or legal access, we don’t even get any second hand information or reassurance.

I’ve found myself especially missing him recently. I want to speak to him about mundane things like my cricket, books I’ve been reading and what new movies are good. I understand the people of Pakistan want their chosen leader free, but I miss my father more than ever.

But this is not just about a father. It is about Pakistan, and its future.”

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

It has now been around 1,100 days since my father, Imran Khan, was imprisoned, and my brother and I haven’t heard his voice since March. For months, we’ve been denied contact with him. We remain in the dark about his access to healthcare as his eyesight continues to deteriorate. He urgently needs medical attention, and with no family or legal access, we don’t even get any second hand information or reassurance.

I’ve found myself especially missing him recently. I want to speak to him about mundane things like my cricket, books I’ve been reading and what new movies are good. I understand the people of Pakistan want their chosen leader free, but I miss my father more than ever.

But this is not just about a father. It is about Pakistan, and its future. A rigged, authoritarian regime continues to crush political opposition, undermine democratic institutions, and deny millions of Pakistanis their right to freely choose their leaders, whilst terrorising those who speak their beliefs.

I once again plea to the international community to not look away. Silence in the face of injustice only enables it.

@HNadim87 Can’t blame him - earned his colours through the same regime

[Mehlaqa Samdani @MehlaqaCAPJ]

"Tariq Ali is a Marxist, secularist, atheist and lifelong critic of religion’s intimacy with political power. Imran Khan, by contrast, has increasingly articulated his politics through an Islamic moral vocabulary: justice as obligation, sovereignty as freedom from servitude, welfare as compassion made institutional, and resistance to domination as a duty before God. Their metaphysical worlds are sharply different. Yet when Khan required solidarity, the atheist recognized the moral substance beneath the theological distance, while many professional custodians of Islam discovered the devotional pleasures of looking away."

Another excellent piece by @Academicatarms

Pakistani Journalist: Where will Pakistan be in 5 years?

Ex-Singapore Ambassador: I will be very blunt. Pakistan took advantage of a diplomatic opportunity in the US-Iran war. But that will not feed your people. Pakistan has been on the brink of failure for a long time.

I ran the All-Rounders Index again, but only up to the end of 1984 (min 2000 runs, 75 wickets). Notice Imran is yet to peak, while Botham has reached near his (but subsequently declined), and that those of you who want to see Sobers at the top can feel satisfied!

Loved this editorial in The Post this morning on @BLACKCAPS’ victory over England.

“Test cricket, like much else worth doing, rewards discipline, patience and delayed gratification. There are no shortcuts to greatness. Mr Mitchell’s innings was an object lesson in that truth.”

@bhogleharsha No sir you don’t need 160-170 games from time to time but all the time to make it a contest between bat and ball and allow spectators to understand that cricket is a game between bat and ball

اس کیس کو تو فوری سن لینا چاہئے عمران خان کے تمام بنیادی انسانی حقوق کو پامال کیا جارہا ہے ایک سابق وزیراعظم کو قید تنہائی میں رکھا ہوا اس کے ڈاکٹرز ، بہنوں ، وکلاء اور سیاسی رفقاء ہر قسم کی ملاقاتیں بند کی ہوئی ہیں۔ نوازشریف جب جیل تھے اس کے ذاتی ڈاکٹر عدنان ہر وقت ان کے ساتھ ہوتے تھے نوازشریف کا پاکستان چھوڑیں لندن میں مرضی کے ہسپتال میں علاج ہوا اور یہاں عمران خان کو ہسپتال سے علاج کروانا تو دور ذاتی ڈاکٹرز سے ملاقات تک نہیں کرنے دی جارہی۔

El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.

“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.

Sir John Major, "Brexit has been very damaging"

"Most people think of the economic damage, but that's only part of the argument"

"It has as a country made us weaker, more isolated"

"Before Brexit we were the principle ally of the US, that's debatable now"

"We were also a leading member of the European Union that had 500 million people"

"Both of those have gone'

"We're now 70 million in a world of 9.5 billion"

"And we have considerably less clout, and friendship in times of difficulty, than we had before"

In 2018 before the RTS went down, PMLN seats were 43 while after RTS restoration its seats increased to 65. PPP 33 before RTS went down and 43 after RTS restored. Still wondering whose mandate was stolen. Even in 2018 PTI clear majority was denied.

@sardesairajdeep @fawadchaudhry There is no democracy in Pakistan just a military outpost 🤦‍♂️
