We at the @MultanSultans are privileged to have @hijaaaaab as our new GM. A fantastic professional with a Masters in Project Management, who brings with her a wealth of experience. A trailblazer, Hijab is in fact South Asia’s first woman GM in men’s cricket. First of many IA! 🙏🏼
What a day! Tiring yet rewarding. Like to thank Allah for this giving me the ability to go this far. This was the first time in the history of Pakistan that any Pakistani athlete won a medal at the World athletics championships
🚨 The Pakistan govt just approved the data protection law that you must pay attention to.
I read it so you don't have to (even though you should).
Here's a long thread on the law and just some of the things that are very worrying.
This is not the first time! @KhawajaMAsif has made derogatory remarks about female politicians that too on floor of the house. During the joint session he said; “These characterless women cannot lecture us.", He further adds, "A man who needs women to defend him, it speaks volumes about his bravery." He was referring to the PTI chairman.
In response, PTI @drzarqa rightfully expressed shock at hearing such language from someone with decades of political experience.

ہمارے ایک عام پاکستانی جس کی تربیت اس طرح کی گئی ہے اور تعلیمی نصاب نے بھی اس کے دماغ کو شعور نہیں بخشا تو اس میں اس کا کوئی قصور نہیں قصور ایسی تربیت کرنے والوں کا اور ایسا نصاب بنانے والوں کا ہے
اب یہ نوجوان اور بزرگ انہوں نے کسی سے سنا ہو گا کہ شیزان کسی احمدی کی مالکیت ہے انہوں نے کوئی تحقیق نہں کی اس مہنگائی میں یہ بوتلیں خریدی اور انکو نالے میں پھینک رہے
اس دماغی کیفیت اس نفرت کے ساتھ آپ دنیا میں کیسے ترقی یافتہ قوموں کا مقابلہ کریں گے ؟
بدقسمتی سے ہمارا ایک بہت بڑا نام نہاد پڑھا لکھا طبقہ اس طرح کے فعل کی بھرپور حمایت کرتا ہے
1997. Was rejected for a Government job. In the interview I was told on my face, you have ‘LOW IQ’ so therefore unfit for this job, sorry.
1998, I was fired from a telco franchise in Rawalpindi after 11 months. Reason, the manager said that I terribly lack communication skills and confidence.
I felt bad. I was literally heartbroken because I was in my early 20s and jobless.
2000, I worked on myself to overcome my weakness or at least played at my strength because i realized that I am vulnerable when my weaknesses is exposed, even temporary ones.
Fast forward: Year 2007, I got featured on Guru’s hall of fame on their home page. The testimonials from different clients all across the globe praised amazing communication skills and creative ability to think out of box and unorthodox.
Takeaway: Work hard on yourselves but most importantly, never ever give up on yourself!
Hey You, YES - YES You….
Listen to me….
دنیا والوں نے یہ کیا بول دیا کے تم کسی کام کے نہیں اور موصوف نے اسکو حقیقت مان لیا؟
ابھی اٹھو اور شِیشہ دیکھو اور خود سے بولو، اب میں سب کوکر کے دکھاؤں گا ، میں انشاءاللہ کامیاب ہو کر رہوں گاr
For all the people who fail to comprehend why it is so important for us to constantly reiterate that Pakistan is the Best Tekken Region in the World - please understand where we come from.
As a nation we are deprived of a gaming infrastructure, there are actual taboos associated with the field of gaming; sure it's a cultural thing, but we don't exactly have a very supportive environment that is beneficial to adopt gaming as a full-time career.
Our passport is one of the weakest in the world, so that means that we can't just travel wherever and whenever we want to. Yes, I understand that that probably sounds alien to some of you, but in order to make a simple travel to the US for a week, we have to start getting our documents and financials sorted six months in advance. I, for one, never even imagined that we'd be able to travel as a full contingent to a different country and have a shot at beating some of the best players in the world.
There's load-shedding - for those of you who don't understand what that means: it's power outages in order to save electricity for multiple random hours of the day, so we had to wait outside arcades for the electricity to return so we'd be able to continue gaming.
Due to the lack of monetary support, in my case, and many others , we'd play money matches in order to be able to pay the bills for the coins we'd consumed in the arcade. There's a lack of government support, so even with all the talent in the world, we don't have anyone pushing individuals to take that leap of faith to enter the global arena.
Alhamdulillah, having said all of that there's a major positive, Pakistan as a country is strongest when it's cornered (iykyk), and when everything seemed to be going against us, we came out on top, we persevered, and won. A tournament that was not 1v1, it was a team game, I fought, my team fought, and we all conquered the world. After everything we've been through, if we can still present the world with a three time Evo Champion, an Evo Runner Up and a TWT Champion, the least the world can do is cut us some slack when we say that, "Pakistan is the Best Tekken Region in the World"
Striking chart from @AidData from newly released work on Chinese bailout lending to emerging markets. Not only has Pakistan had 20+ IMF programs it also stands out as the country with the largest number of bailouts received from China in this sample.

Just got a call from a Brig from ISI that they’ve got nothing to do with the video & it was prepared on dark web. Told him to convince senator swati, not me. I stand by my colleague the way army stood by Maj Gen faisal Naseer. 1/2
I have never felt the urge to retweet Imran Khan but here I have to agree with him. The video of Begum Azam Swati is clearly beyond the pale. I feel ashamed that an honourable woman can be so humiliated in my country. This madness must stop.
اعظم سواتی صاحب کا یہ کلپ چیئرمین سینیٹ اور تمام پارلیمان کے منہ پر طمانچہ ہے۔ کبھی سوچا بھی نہ تھا کہ ہماری انٹیلیجنس والے اس حد تک بے غیرت ہو جائیں گے اور ہماری دینی، معاشرتی اخلاقیات کی اس طرح دھجیاں بکھیر دیں گے۔ کسی کی عزت نفس محفوظ نہیں۔خدا کی لعنت ہو ان لوگوں پر۔
I want to apologise on behalf of Pakistan to Mrs Swati, a very private, non public, tahajut guzaar lady for the pain, anguish and sense of humiliation she is having to suffer.
