My Column #TheSideMirror
We often expect disinformation on social media by nameless accounts. But this time, the lies had logos, jingles, and slick graphics. They were delivered by men and women in suits, sitting in million-dollar studios, waving papers in the air, and shouting over each other. News had become theatre. The audience, caught in the panic and patriotism of the moment, bought every word.

Information Minister @TararAttaullah said on Monday that the government is reviewing austerity measures previously introduced to conserve fuel and reduce the financial impact of rising energy costs.
Speaking at a press briefing alongside Information Technology Minister @ShazaFK and Petroleum Minister @AliPervaiz450 , Tarar said Prime Minister @CMShehbaz had directed officials to consult on which measures should be reinstated amid renewed tensions in the Middle East.

The country has reached a strange point in its economic life.
Petrol has crossed Rs375 a litre and is now being sold at Rs375.82. High-speed diesel has reached Rs403.32 a litre. These are not ordinary numbers for an ordinary household.

Right now, the issue of new provinces is an “in” issue for the media. My newspaper editor, Ahsan Raza, tells me that we are receiving almost 10 to 15 articles every day on the subject. Most of them, unfortunately, repeat the same arguments.

Chairman @CDAthecapital and the IG @ICT_Police riding in a horse drawn carriage, arrived grandly at the ceremony. And I felt they were not kings. This was not centuries of tradition. This was a serving civil servant and a serving police officer, the very same officers who are supposed to answer to the public every single day, arrived like they were opening a coronation. https://t.co/ytAuvJae4r
One of the most serious and ignored problems in our country today: the waste and garbage problem in #Pakistan. We see #garbage on the roads near our homes, schools, and other areas. This problem is getting worse day by day, especially in the big cities of Pakistan like @Lahore , @Islamabad , etc.

Turkish Petroleum will soon begin offshore drilling in Pakistan’s territorial waters, a great move and a potential boost for foreign investment in the country’s energy sector revealed by @AliPervaiz450. This will purely help to reduce dependence on costly energy imports.
