Would call myself an intellectual, but I'm not that self-obssesed.
Anarchist, tour guide, thinker, writer, aspiring political historian.

5 Mainlanders discussing GB elections without a voice from GB says a lot about how mainland approaches this region.

[Basharat Issa @BasharatIssa]

I wish mainland Pakistanis were as concerned about the fundamental rights, exploitation and marginalisation of GB as they are concerned about their rotten, corrupt, dynastic and nepotistic political parties in GB elections.

What happens when we lose a language is that people have their human rights violated and their self-determination denied. They experience in justice and are harmed in multiple ways. So much more is at stake than culture, tradition, and knowledge.

This is why we criticize GB orders, this is why we are against the direct control of GB , this is why we want a constituent assembly in GB. Today @CMShehbaz made a committee to discuss the Sost Port Issue in GB. The tragedy is that no representative of GB is included.

Gilgit-Baltistan is our ancestral land — it belongs to its people, not to Punjabi or Pakistani generals. These mountains and rivers hold our history, not the dreams of outsiders. This land is ours — not for those who try to take it through power or politics.

A massive crackdown against the leadership of the rights movement in Gilgit-Baltistan is going on. Top leadership, including the chairman, Awami Action Committee, Ahsan Advocate, has been arrested. Today, Karachi police have arrested more than 20 youth from the press club protest

[Basharat Issa @BasharatIssa]

In Gilgit-Baltistan asking for your basic rights and standing against land grabbing, exploitation and oppression is terrorism. Anti terrorists courts are used against political activists more than they trail terrorists. Peaceful protestors are not terrorists!

[Basharat Issa @BasharatIssa]

Stop oppressing the people who are in a limbo for 7 decades now. Release all arrested leaders of the Awami Action Committee Gilgit-Baltistan.

A minor is abducted from Gilgit-Baltistan for two months and now there is a video claiming that it's a consensual marriage. Please help us highlight this issue for legal action.
The authorities seem uninterested in this case.

It's day 127 of Chaman Sit-in. Since mainstream media isn't interested, many people are unaware of the sit-in. I'll briefly explain in this thread. 🧵 They need our voices to amplify theirs.

Such cases in the supreme court exposes the oppression of Gilgit-Baltistan, nothing else.

[Mustafa T. Wynne @musswynne]

Fact check ‼️

Begum Naseem wali was the first female to win a general seat as MNA from KP in 1977 elections.

not everything that happens to PTI has happened for the first time in history.

[Nemo @theEldestB0y]

Hopefully not
Dudes borderline extremist

Very hard to empathize with the kind of mindset Gill and his minions espouse.

When the shoe is on the other foot, Gill and his ilk will not only not offer basic human sympathy, but also jeer at your suffering.

[غفران 🔻 @maybe_ghuf]

Guy whose goons paraded a girl naked through the streets in DI Khan. Also a dynast, with his father a former minister under Musharraf and his brother a former PTI MPA.
I see PTI continues to uphold its tradition of rejecting dynastic politics and misogynistic violence.
