What happened with rights activist Sheema Kirmani and her colleagues outside Karachi Press Club is totally unacceptable. People have a right to peaceful press conferences and protests as per the law in Pakistan. This is a right cherished and protected most especially by the Pakistan Peoples Party, which has also historically supported women’s empowerment and rights. In both letter and spirit.
I am grateful to Chairman @BBhuttoZardari for intervening immediately for the release of the activists and for seeking an inquiry and suspension of said officials via the Sindh Government into the egregious police mishandling and arrest of rights activists.
It should never have happened.
President Zardari addressed Joint Session of Parliament for the 9th time at the start of the new parliamentary year. His address covered national security, economic stabilisation, counter-terrorism efforts, water security, climate resilience & 🇵🇰’s foreign policy priorities.
Young married couple was killed in Balochistan, #honourkilling One side brave girl n boy while other side 19 men with guns came to kill a girl n bov, Girll who went n stood there where she was shooted is brave or they 19 people with loaded guns.? Very sad..
In all of this fracas, international actors should ask who is the aggressor here ? India has launched a premeditated attack on civilian targets including children, which was entirely unprovoked, and outside all norms of the UN charter and war protocols. It is operating as a terrorist state, and it is the one that must be asked to dial down the aggression and create space for de-escalation. Pakistan continues to ask for a neutral, transparent investigation into allegations that India has fabricated re the #pehelgamattack .
