The ongoing testimony of Donald Lu at the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee is live.

This is an incredible landmark in the coming of age of Pakistani Americans.

That so many of these politically engaged folks are PTI supporters should not blind Pakistani decision makers from their importance to the country today and in the future. Their voices should be heard. They can be a huge asset for Pakistan and its interests.

It was ridiculous 🤯 for the PTI to be denied the bat symbol, ridiculous for the election results to be delayed by three days, ridiculous how ROs deliberately mishandled the recount processes and it is ridiculous that the ECP has now, not only denied SIC its share of reserved seats, but awarded them to other parties 😳!

Remember! 🚨 Just like the injustices and excesses of 2017 and 2018 are being “corrected” for now, the injustices and excesses of 2023 and 2024 will be “corrected” for down the road. ⛔️

The ONLY way to stop this death trap cycle? 🛑

FUBAR: PML-N defending post-Elections mess-up of Election Commission. Why?

Pakistan downgraded by EIU to "authoritarian regime" and declines 11 places in global 'Democracy Index'.

PML-N is in a classic monkey trap. The temptation of (illusory) power at the center has tied its hands. It can only be politically free to manoeuvre if it lets go of it. (Which it wont) Otherwise, it stays entrapped. This power is like this banana. Not meant for eating at all.

Expecting results of at least Nineteen (19) NA constituencies switched in favor of PTI seems a little unpragmatic without Judicial activism.

The election result is a rebuke to Pakistan’s army—and may eventually prove a turning point in the generals’ ability to influence politics https://t.co/ikva9kEBR9 👇

The only argument my friends defending PML-N have is that the Establishment did the same with us in 2018. Two wrongs don’t make right.
One way forward is that PTI joins hands with PPP to from the Govt and then investigate the poll rigging with PPP’s full support.
