Anyone who associates any credibility and legitimacy to the usurpers who form the current govt or believe that the restrictions and bans they impose is their lawful right or that a crackdown on protestors through straight fire was a necessary measure is either suffering from ignorance, bias or bigotry. Anyone with an iota of integrity and claims to be democratic and pro human rights would make the effort to educate and inform themselves and find the courage to call a spade a spade and not be blinded by either their hate or love for a particular political party. There is no defending the Establishment or its stooges.
I would never wish death upon anyone who holds a different political opinion. Don't we all have people in our family who disagree with each other's political differences? Yes!
Last night was not political. It is what it is! A murder, murder murder! #IslamabadMassacre
Non-chaotic means of engagements for PTI:
1. Elections. But the Establishment provided no freedom of assembly or association to PTI to campaign and on top of that stole and rigged the elections.
2. Parliament. But even post rigging, the Establishment ensured PTI is not recognized as a party nor given reserve seats. On top of it legislation is done through abducting and intimidating parliamentarians.
3. Judiciary. But as soon as the Establishment saw that Judges with opposing views might lead the Supreme Court and act independent of any pressure, it fractured judicial autonomy and cherry picked judges to get predetermined outcomes.
4. Legacy and Social Media. But the Establishment made sure that through censorship, intimidation, restrictions and bans only that is aired/published/shared what is allowed and if somone till manages to speak their minds then persecute and prosecute them.
PTI has had a history of protests, seeking confrontation and having a my way or the highway approach. But today it is the Establishment itself that has pushed PTI towards protest and the country towards chaos by not allowing any breathing space and not even trying to build any illusion of democracy. This arrogance of the Establishment is not rooted in any popularity and acceptance amongst the masses but on its ability to control and terrorise the masses. This is not sustainable and change is inevitable. Whether change comes through chaos or peaceful transition is in the hands of Establishment. We must not be confused where the actual blame lies.
میں D chowk کے قریب رہتا ہوں۔بہت شرمناک مناظر دیکھنے کو ملے! دِل خوُن کے آنسو رو رہا ہے! تحریکِ انصاف کے کارکنان پر بدترین ظلم کیا گیا۔ ایک پٹھان نوجوان جسے ٹانگ پر گولی لگی ہوئ تھی PIMs کا راستہ پُوچھ رہا تھا۔ شدید فائرنگ کی آوازیں آتی رہیں۔ عوام آس پاس کے گھروں میں پناہ کی منتیں کرتے رہے لیکن پولیس اُن کا تعقب کرتی رہی۔ 💔💔💔💔
Democracy and human rights must be protected.
I’m proud to join my colleagues in calling for the release of political prisoners in Pakistan and demanding accountability for those undermining democratic freedoms.
Oh, Imran! Our hearts are weeping for you. Please God, grant him light and the sweet air of freedom, again. He's been illegally held for over a year, and now they have put him in solitary confinement for 3 weeks, in darkness, without permission to even take a walk

I’m proud to sign this letter calling for an end to human rights abuses in Pakistan and for the release of all political prisoners—including Imran Khan. We must stand up for democracy and human rights in Pakistan.
Today, I led over 60 Members of Congress in a letter supporting human rights & democracy in Pakistan and calling for the release of political prisoners — including former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
سید مزمل کا روہانسی اور رنجیدہ آواز کے ساتھ درد بھرا سوال، اپنے والد کی ٹوٹی امیدوں کا تذکرہ۔ اور عمران خان کا جواب۔
بطور ملینیئل جنریشن میرے دل کے ہمیشہ بہت قریب رہیگا۔
اس میں ہمیشہ مجھے اپنی جھلک دکھائی دیتی رہیگی۔
کیا آپکو بھی ایسا کچھ محسوس ہوتا ہے؟
In the ticket office the other day;
Me: tickets for the Imran Khan enclosure please
Ticket office man; no sir is sold out
Me: no it isn't
Ticket office man: sorry sir, sold out
See pic of Imran Khan enclosure 😭🤣
One way you can tell the CIA is not behind the current protests in Pakistan is the total absence of any coverage in the Western press.
Typically a pro-democracy movement like this against a military dictatorship is celebrated. But in this case the military is our ally so nada.
@Pakistanomy 3. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto
Bhutto's policies led to economic decline, political instability, East Pakistan's secession, and sectarian conflicts in Pakistan, leaving a legacy of weakened political and economic foundations that Pakistan is struggling to recover from to this day.
An Olympic record and a gold medal, what else could you ask ?
What a great performance for a first title! 🥇

Un record Olympique et une médaille d'or, que demander de plus ?
Quelle belle prestation pour un premier sacre ! 🥇 #Paris2024
Congratulations to Pakistan's Olympic flag bearer Arshad Nadeem for an absolute brilliant javelin performance winning a gold medal for Pakistan.
His persistence & perseverance has done him & the nation proud. It is the first time any Pakistani has won an individual gold for athletics in the Olympics. He is an inspiration for our younger generation.
Transatlantic Camaraderie: President Trump & Prime Minister Imran Khan share interesting similarities after being ousted from office: Prosecuted in their respective countries, reinforced by media trial by allegations, given relief by the Top Court, retaining massive popularity & both surviving abortive assassination attempts! Date with Destiny?
