Our father lived in Pakistan - away from us - for most of our lives. Not because he had to, but because he chose to stand up against a corrupt regime. While he wasn’t there every day as a father, Pakistan had him as a leader. He gave his country everything: hospitals, universities, and a movement for justice.
He’s been offered the chance to spend the rest of his days in comfort - going on walks or playing cricket with us in England. Instead, he chooses to remain locked away in a dark prison cell.
His sacrifice is for Pakistan.
His strength comes from its people.
I refuse to indulge in any 'analysis' or commentary on the new CJ.
To be even part of this conversation in any way, other than to totally dismiss it as unlawful, is an acceptance and normalisation of this fascism.
I have only one analysis of Pakistan since February 2024: There is an illegitimate regime imposed through a stolen public mandate. Everything that follows is illegitimate and lacks credibility, warranting no 'analysis' other than outright dismissal and rejection of the regime.
For Greeks, politics was the noblest of all the professions warranting exceptional intellectual and moral compass.
Politics today represents the exact opposite; intellectual rot, and absence of moral compass guised as “realpolitik”.
I usually don’t comment on Pakistani politics. I disagree with IK on many political issues. But this is not about politics- it’s about my children’s father, his human rights & international law. For the past few years, I’ve been bullied & harassed into silence by PML-N goons, including rape threats & countless conspiracy theories. Meanwhile Twitter/ X is banned in Pakistan, PTI party members & civilian supporters have been abducted, anyone with a platform who was speaking out is now in jail & silenced, Imran Khan’s photo and name have been censored on state television (they have even redacted his image from any coverage of Pakistan’s World Cup win of 92!)
I owe it to my children to try to create some awareness about what is happening in Pakistan. Please help in any way that you can. Thank you.
@AshWahabJadon There is a thing called 🤌‘sustainability’; we need sustainable solutions. Media fame will not fix the problem. After you guys are off the road, bikes will be everywhere. What 🇵🇰 expects from civil servants of your caliber is to come up with solutions that work for years to come
Tomorrow’s a huge day for Pakistan. Your vote is important. As soon as you’re able to, please post a photo or video saying “I voted PTI” with a hashtag #votePTI to show your support!
Pakistan Zindabad! 🇵🇰
240 million people do not know if general elections will be held in February but what we are certain about is that PSL will take place in February. This is how broken and perverse our civilian institutions have become.
“All means of removing me from the political landscape were used. There were two assassination attempts on my life.” @ImranKhanPTI writes from prison that his party is being unfairly muzzled, in a guest essay for The Economist https://t.co/40WxGbb4EG

Imagine studying from the best schools in the world to end up working to block the internet, social media just so people cant tune into a virtual political gathering, that too as the IT minister. The paper your degrees are printed on will be better used to soak oil from fries.
