Sae kids hitting roosters and chickens with a ball. Asked them to politely to stop doing it to which they said YEH MARAY MURGHAY HAIN.

Guys, if you cant make your kids kind, don't have them to begin them. Don't raise a kanjar ki nasal

Like what is the goal here, lynchings of individual Pakistanis? Burning down their neighborhoods? Random violence?

It does a solid job of that.

But if you wanted a report that shined a bright light on precisely how the authorities failed, and a push towards public accountability and change, it should have named more names and put in as much vivid description about how they failed to investigate these gangs with perhaps as much pornographic detail as how many orifices each individual rapist violated.

It’s like advertising luxury villas in Nazi germany during peak Holocaust.

So shameful

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I'm trying to imagine Muslim kids chanting something similar about the Jewish or Christian faiths at a rally in London. The Prevent folks, counter-terrorism police, the entire British media would be all over the story, asking why Muslims are so extreme & brainwashing their kids.

ایک سال پہلے گریڈ 18 میں ترقی پانے والی انعم فاطمہ کے پاس ایک تیسرا عہدہ بھی ہے، وہ گریڈ 20 کی پوسٹ پر چیف آفیسر میٹرو پولیٹن کارپوریشن اسلام آباد بھی ہیں۔ 2024 میں چوہدری مونس الہی کے کاغذات نامزدگی مسترد کرنا ان کا ایسا کارنامہ تھا جو مخصوص حلقوں میں سالوں تک یاد رکھا جائے گا۔

Elites of Islamabad quietly cheered the brutal demolition of poor neighbourhoods — all perfectly 'legal', they said.But the moment the same law touches One Constitution Avenue skyscraper, it turns bearable. Law for the poor. Exception for the elite.

For all purposes of having city as an economic engine, they have Pindi right next to it

Why turn Islamabad into Pindi instead of growing Pindi?

Answer has to do with the surplus cash Islamabad has & to spend it on infrastructure earns massive commissions for officials involved

[سکندر @Muqadrkasikandr]

Leave the Margalla hills alone. Any person with the sane mind won’t destroy the ecosystem of Islamabad unless that person’s getting a lot of money out of it. Someone needs to check who’s behind Mohsin Naqvi’s disastrous policies.

In 2026 alone, the Pakistani government has cut 29,115 trees in Islamabad for DHA road development and the construction of the Mark-e-Haq Monument. Just imagine how many more trees will be cut for these projects, Islamabad may soon become a concrete jungle.

[Ammar Rashid @AmmarRashidT]

Absolutely insane that an unelected media baron w/ no connection to Islamabad can take over the city, displace 1000s of local inhabitants, take a literal axe to its deeply cherished ecology & turn it into a concrete hellscape without consulting a single resident in the process.

I literally had to go see this for myself. Sure enough. Apple Maps has removed almost every town in Lebanon from the map while keeping every podunk town in Israel and Syria clearly marked.

You either make a nuke or not make a nuke. If you're not making a nuke, then fuck it and give it all up, if you're making a nuke then make the fucking nuke. Iran keeps fucking itself for the "right" to enrich Uranium, which is meaningless.

Speaking of zardari and assets abroad, the rockwood estate and the Swiss accounts are two helpful trips down memory lane.

Zardari post second round in government:

Denies the Rockwood estate (Surrey mansion) after spending millions of pounds on refurbishing it, filled with hundred thousand pound chandeliers that he decried as being unthinkable for a leader from a poor country.

Then when it was about to be auctioned; zardari decided it was his after all and launched a claim to the asset from jail. He explained his earlier denial of ownership on medical ailments and sought a stay of sale proceedings.

During his second tenure, he was involved in the procurement of a digitisation project for the customs and ports. The companies that bid to win were SGS and cotecna. It was alleged that these companies paid hefty bribes to zardari to win the computerisation contracts. These led to prosecutions of the principals in Switzerland.

Zardari was Convicted in Switzerland for graft related to these contracts. Accounts related to him containing 60 million dollars in Switzerland were frozen.

Zardari then applied for access to these 60 million dollars once the freeze on the graft related account was lifted ONLY because Zardari’s legal team presented the NRO law to the Swiss court and argued that thievery was no longer a crime in that period in Pakistan.

As president in his first term, Once the NRO was declared void ab initio, Zardari’s pppp led government ignored SC directions to write to the Swiss asking for a revisit of that earlier NRO based acquittal.

The PPP Sacrificed a Prime Minister to prevent the writing of the letter. That prime minister was later rewarded with a return to the senate and tickets for his family.

Meanwhile, the court record of the entire Swiss proceedings were then taken from the Pakistani consulate in Switzerland. The person overseeing the taking of the record was then Pakistani consul general in the United Kingdom, wajid shamsul Hasan. Geo’s Murtuza from london was present there for the removal and asked wajid sb on camera what he was upto and the latter refused to offer any replies whilst smoking cigars on the sidewalk.

Jeeay Bhutto.

A lot of noise today about Pakistan owing the UAE gratitude. Worth some perspective.

Pakistan has deployed military trainers and defence personnel who have been part of the UAE's defence architecture for decades, trained Emirati pilots, and contributed institutionally to the country's armed forces. PIA leased aircraft and supplied pilots to Emirates airline when it launched, helping build what is now one of the world's largest carriers. Pakistani professionals helped establish the UAE's early banking infrastructure. Pakistanis are among the largest business owner and investor communities in the country, contributing enormously to its commercial fabric across construction, trade, retail, and services.

The UAE in return has provided Pakistan with financial deposits during difficult periods. That is real and it is appreciated. But deposits placed at interest, now recalled, are financial instruments. They are not charity.

Millions of Pakistanis live and work in the UAE under conditions that often offer fewer rights and protections than those extended to Western expatriates. Visa access to the UAE for Pakistani nationals has been severely restricted for years. These are facts that tend not to feature in the narrative of UAE generosity.

This is a long relationship built on mutual benefit. Pakistan gave the UAE its military trainers, its aviation expertise, its banking talent, its labour, and its diaspora capital. The UAE gave Pakistan financial support and employment. Neither side has been doing the other a favour. They have been doing business.

Framing it as Pakistani ingratitude reflects a poor understanding of what this relationship has actually been.
