“Man is so made that when anything fires his soul impossibilities vanish” Possible to bring about change through dialogue and advocacy.

[Hussain Nadim @HNadim87]

If there is one thing you must read this month, it should be Saeed Malik's latest post "Tea with Zia: The Tale of a Court-Martial".

I have not read something so deep and powerful coming out of Pakistan for a very long time.

What an extra ordinary man, and an even more extra ordinary story of times that are gone and lessons that are lost.

Respect always . Whenever our soldiers have served overseas they have always been remembered in glowing terms.

[Zardan Sangzi @ZardanSi]

“Appreciate your country, Pakistan. Nothing is greater than homeland.”🇵🇰

“When I visited Bosnia, I saw a statue honoring Pakistan Army. Locals told me Pakistani soldiers shared their scarce rations with people during difficult times. statue was built in their honor.

Another Treaty of Versailles

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Unreal: the symbolism of Trump signing a surrender agreement at Versailles in which the US agrees to pay massive reparations is just too perfect.

I wouldn't be surprised if Macron weaponized Trump's complete ignorance of history and told him something like: "Mr. President, Versailles is where the most consequential deal of the 20th century was signed. Yours deserves the same stage."

Either that or Macron stumbled into the perfect historical parallel through sheer obliviousness - which, knowing him, is actually even more likely.

[Miftah Ismail @MiftahIsmail]

In her column on the budget, @arifanoor72 writes that “there is little likelihood of the kind of growth and expansion that is needed to provide employment and economic mobility to a growing populace. A populace that is also far from healthy and well educated because of the little that Pakistan invests in these fields.”

“In Switzerland, with Pakistan as an interlocutor, the historic USA-Iran détente will be signed. Elsewhere in the globe, some will be vanquishing a broken opposition to shards. And drooling over a film called Dhurandhar.” —The Wire

[Mushahid Hussain Sayed @Mushahid]

Another brilliant piece @DanQayyum Congratulations on historic breakthrough in Peace talks between Iran & US, brokered by Pakistan: ‘the discipline & singlemindedness that built the deterrent also built the mediation. The chorus declaring both impossible was the same’! So aptly put. Pakistanis have lived upto Quaid-e-Azam’s dictum: ‘Let it not be said that we did not prove ourselves equal to the task’! The Quaid’s Faith in Pakistan & Pakistanis stands vindicated!

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

The US, Israel and Iran have all bumbled through this war and missed opportunities, but Pakistan deserves great credit for consistently working very hard as an intermediary for peace between capricious and obdurate enemies. Bravo, @CMShehbaz and COAS Munir.

[Meena Gabeena @gabeeno]

The impact of the atrocities of Taliban in Afghanistan on Pakistan , specially Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not being realised by the people of Pakistan who have zero interest in any province other than Punjab and Sindh. Their actions and ideology is being adopted already here. Wake up

[Fasi Zaka @fasi_zaka]

The other day was looking through some of the blasphemy gang entrapment cases, and the extraordinary tragedies it created. Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali were representing so many who had nothing, without fear and ask of favour. Their conscience strongest - and condition so unfair.

[SherryRehman’sTeam @SRehmanOffice]

More than 26 million children in Pakistan are out of school, while millions are trapped in child labour. Lack of education and child labour perpetuate poverty across generations, with child labour rates significantly higher in rural areas than in urban communities.

Urdu is a language that lost two countries and kept the grief.

[Huma Baqai @_baqai]

The Elite capture of Pakistan is both toxic and so over whelming that no amount of public shaming and blatant availability of data allows a course correction , those involved are without any remorse or shame , squeezing literally the last drop of blood from the hostage vulnerable population of the country , pushing more every day below poverty line and then having the cheek to appear on media and say we are to working for the poor … they work for themselves and have no desire to change … be it pays , privileges , tax evasion or simply being smug about passing the buck of burden bearing to the most vulnerable, and they don’t even blink parading designer shoes and suits when out begging for more to splurge some more

[Sumaira Khan @SK_Gaia]

@AmirMateen2 May Allah receive him gently with his Maghfirat and bless him with a highest place in Jannat-ul-Firdous . My sincere condolences to you and the family Amir.

[Najam Ali @najam_ali]

This naked terrorism in Pakistan, coming precisely at a moment when an Iran deal appears close, will naturally raise questions about who benefits from destabilizing Pakistan and discrediting its diplomatic role.

Whenever Pakistan begins gaining strategic relevance, forces hostile to its stability suddenly become very active.

Guess who?

[Sumaira Khan @SK_Gaia]

@Huk06 Hahahah just love it

[Sumaira Khan @SK_Gaia]

@AlamgirZeb132 Disturbing that so many in the PTI seem to have the same disorder

[Najam Ali @najam_ali]

What a sobering moment it is to watch Marco Rubio say:

“We are asking the UN to tell Iran to stop blowing up ships in Hormuz because we want to give peace a chance.”

Just wow.

[Sumaira Khan @SK_Gaia]

@FarrukhJAbbasi @oemevents The minimum buy in at One Constitution in 2017 was 3 crores. No idea where this ludicrous figure of 1.5 crores has come from. And that was the price of the penthouse and the 3 bed apartment on higher floors started at 8.

[Rimsha Tahir @rumshum12]

The Punjab Assembly approved the Child Marriage Restraint Bill 2026 today, which sets 18 as the minimum marriage age for both boys and girls and makes underage marriage a criminal (non-bailable) offence! Well done govt Punjab!

Islamabad is a poem rhyming with natural beauties. ❤️❤️
