It's baffling how the Domestic Violence Bill, 2021 passed by the NA is being referred to the Council of Islamic Ideology. The same CII that proposed a bill allowing a husband to "lightly" beat his wife "if needed" back in 2016. How ironic.

Very informative and well-penned article!

Afghanistan: Who Pays The Price, And Who Plays The Game
Afghanistan may be where empires disengage, but for Pakistan the challenge is enduring: managing the lasting consequences of instability through security, diplomacy, and regional cooperation

The #islamabadMOU is less about regional peace and more about a brutal recalibration of leverage. For #Islamabad, a newly liquid western border provides immense tactical relief, easing a persistent two-front security dilemma and giving our battered economy some much-needed energy breathing room. As #Qatar collects its diplomatic dividend and #Turkiye and #SaudiArabia expands its footprint, we find ourselves holding a surprisingly strong hand simply by outwaiting the chaos.
Meanwhile, the old guard is left absorbing a masterclass in superpower self-sabotage. #Washington has essentially financed a reset that leaves its closest allies out in the cold, forcing #TelAviv into a frantic, high-stakes rewrite of their security chaos doctrines. Most amusingly for Islamabad, #NewDelhi’s multi-million dollar gamble to bypass us via Central Asian transit routes has instantly transformed into a stranded asset, proving once again that in geopolitics, the peace brokers take the profit while the over-eager investors in chaos inherit the debt.

Trump's mind must be such a chaotic place. Or maybe it's just episode after episode of Looney Toons wrecking havoc...... I pity his staff.... The sheer amount of notes that must have to take and then trash and then rewrite... On top of that he has a war criminal @netanyahu as an Ally.... What a geopolitical clusterF<ck😂

[Mohsin Durrani @DurraniMohsin85]

Islamabad playing 4D chess while the rest of the world throws tantrums and missiles. Munir on the phone like a tired dad mediating between two uncles who won't stop swinging at each other, all while keeping one eye on the TTP fireworks next door.
Pakistan: 'Yes we have troops in Saudi, no we're not using them on you, now sign the damn paper before Hormuz becomes a parking lot.'
Satire writes itself, but respect, holding that channel open when everyone else was lighting fuses is next-level endurance. The address is Islamabad indeed. 🔥@DanQayyum masterclass once again

Must read @AsifDurrani20 @carin__fischerr

[Mohsin Durrani @DurraniMohsin85]

Looks like @netanyahu called your bluff @realDonaldTrump. He bombed and got bombed. Hormuz is still blocked, deal eludes you. Iran remains defiant. Israel still a chaos agent. Reign in #Israel before your credibility take any more hits mate!

EK SHO KEE MAAR HAI. @MohsinnaqviC42 sb time has come to actually put your claims to the test. From the acid attack on #drMahnoor in quetta to the terrorist and fringe elements wrecking havoc in our country. Safety and security of our citizens is not a PRIVILEGE.... It is a bloody RIGHT. Expecting results asap

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THE MATTER. 🙏

From "Sigma Male" #lasereyes to demanding the extradition of a satirical meme page... @DrSJaishankar has completely lost his marbles. 😂
​Imagine a nuclear state’s FM claiming the Cockroach Janta Party is an underground "Pakistan-Iran proxy" network! Post-May 2025 PTSD hits different. The entire RSS-BJP ecosystem is in a total shambles, turning national security into pure comedy.
​What a absolute blessing this circus is for Pakistan. You truly cannot make this stuff up! 🍿🇵🇰

Really impressed with Iqra Bano Sohail’s latest in The Express Tribune.

This piece is excellent sharp, insightful, and genuinely thought-provoking. She skillfully connects the dots from the seemingly harmless Pokémon GO phenomenon in 2016 to today’s emerging reality of AI-powered autonomous systems and urban warfare. What stood out most is how civilian gaming and mapping apps have quietly built rich geospatial datasets that can now be repurposed for military use, even in GPS-denied environments.

Iqra handles the privacy implications, legal gray areas, and questions of data sovereignty with real clarity and depth. It’s a balanced wake-up call that avoids hype while highlighting serious risks we’re already facing.

Well researched, well written, and highly relevant. Strongly recommend giving it a read.

[Rudaw PR @rudaw_pr]

Former Pakistani ambassador to Iran Asif Durrani @AsifDurrani20 told Rudaw's Sima Abkhezr that while Islamabad hosted the first round of talks “that were going on very well, there were a few issues which remained unresolved.”

@AsifDurrani20 suggested that the two sides may be at odds over Washington’s demand regarding Iran’s estimated 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, which “I think Iran is not going to agree to,” anticipating that “most probably Iran will be agreeing [that it remains in the possession of] a third country.”

I'm grateful to @stratheia for affording me the opportunity to express my opinion on the FinTech scene developing in Pakistan

Pakistan’s move toward virtual asset regulation is a strategic shift—but laws alone won’t deliver results without strong institutions and policy consistency.

On India’s request Pakiatan’s YouTube channel “Ambassadors’ Lounge” has been blocked. Reason: national security and public order.

Pashtunwali has been co-opted by militants, turning traditional values into justifications for violence.
