Yesterday, I gathered with residents at the Allama Iqbal Community Center’s Mela to commemorate Pakistan’s Independence Day and honor the contributions Pakistani New Yorkers have made to our city.
Today and everyday, we celebrate this community whose open arms, determination, and dreams for a better life have helped shape the city they call home.
Does Israel have a right to exist?
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: "Nobody ever asks whether Palestine has a right to exist. Israel exists. A better question is: Does Israel have a right to our tax dollars?"
Today, Gaza held its largest mass funeral ever - over 112 bodies that were only recently recovered after months of being under rubble were laid to rest.
And today, Abdul Rahman El-Syed won a significant victory in Michigan - a victory that has already sent shock waves through the Democratic and Republican parties, and is reshaping conversations at every level of American politics.
These two news items are not unrelated. AIPAC and its allies spent a staggering $65 million on Abdul's opponent, precisely because they wanted to continue using our taxes, our weapons, and our veto power to finance their genocide against Palestinian families. Let that sink in: AIPAC spent $65 million to secure one nomination within the Democratic party for one potential Senate position. And ...they lost.
For countless voters, this campaign became about more than a single candidate. The results today, after the last two years of brutal genocide in Gaza, and after decades of their racist Apartheid rule, put beyond doubt the reality that Isr@ael and its allies have simply lost any and all credibility in the eyes of average, hard-working, tax-paying Americans. Today's outcome reflects a surging demand among many Americans for a foreign policy that is shaped first and foremost by the interests, values, and conscience of the American people. It became a statement that no lobbying effort—foreign or domestic—should outweigh the voice of ordinary citizens, and no aid should ever be given to kill innocent civilians. The support of a candidate by AIPAC is now, finally, deemed by large segments of our country a liability, not an asset.
The dignity, courage, and perseverance of the people of Gaza in the face of occupation, massacres, and war have shaken the foundations of an entrenched establishment whose moral authority has steadily eroded. We look forward to a future defined by justice, not complicity - a future in which our country does not bankroll foreign wars and atrocities, but rather offers better services to its own people.

Alhamdulillah, peace has returned to the troubled areas of Kacha after decades. A two-week floodlit cricket tournament was successfully held in the region, an area where, until recently, people would hesitate to venture even in broad daylight. Throughout the event, large numbers of residents were seen moving about freely late into the night without fear. Since December, not a single FIR relating to any heinous crime has been registered at the local police stations.
History made! 🇵🇰🥊 Fatima Zahra has become the first Pakistani woman to win a boxing medal at the Commonwealth Games, securing bronze in the women's 60kg event. She reached the semi-finals after defeating New Zealand's Jordan Wilson before falling to Canada's Maria, proudly earning a place on the podium.

ڈئیر اسٹیبلشمنٹ !! پہلے آپ نے کہلوایا کہ نواز شریف سسلین مافیا ہے اور خراب نظام کو عمران خان ٹھیک کرے گا۔ پھر آپ نے بتلایا کہ عمران خان نا اہل ہے، یہ رہا تو نظام ڈیفالٹ ہو جائے گا۔ پھر سمجھایا کہ سسلین مافیا تجربہ کار ہے، یہی ملک بچائے گا۔ انہیں مسلط کرنے کے بعد پھر آپ کہلوا رہے ہیں کہ نظام کولیپس ہو گیا ہے۔
ایک بار آپ خود پر بھی نظرِثانی فرما کر دیکھ لیں۔

پشاور یونیورسٹی کے اسٹیج پر وزیر اعلیٰ سہیل آفریدی نے جب سٹوڈنٹس سے عمران خان کے لئے تالیاں بجانے کا کہا تو کچھ خاص جوش نظر نہیں آیا،سہیل آفریدی نے اپنی طرف سے طنزیہ کہا اسٹبلشمنٹ کے لئے تالیاں بجاؤ گے،سٹوڈنٹس نے اتنے جوش و خروش سے تالیاں پیٹیں کہ وزیر اعلیٰ حیران رہ گئے
