The Pakistani Buddha of Liberty

In the collection of the MET in New York, there is a Gandharan Buddhist sculpture from present-day Pakistan that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Statue of Liberty.

Today we celebrate World Press Freedom Day, sponsored by UNESCO. Unfortunately, this right is often violated, sometimes flagrantly, sometimes in hidden ways. Let us remember the many journalists and reporters who are victims of war and violence.

Breaking news: Americans are broadly dissatisfied with President Trump’s leadership on the Iran war and other key issues and an electorate in which Democrats are significantly more motivated to vote, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll. https://t.co/SIMOfPCL3x

These are dangerous times for working journalists in Pakistan.Over 50 have been arrested under PECA & some on very flimsy charges,while the state censors,nasty trolls use abusive language if you don’t tow their line,while media workers struggle financially.Dark times but celebrating #WorldPress day because we achieved what little freedom we have with a lot of sacrifice & pain.

Perhaps one of the most striking moments in the king's speech came when he reminded lawmakers that the Magna Carta, cited repeatedly by the U.S. Supreme Court over the years, advanced the foundational principle that "executive power is subject to checks and balances."

“Most male U.S. citizens ages 18-25 are required to register with SSS, though there has not been an active military draft since 1973, according to the agency's website.
Now, the agency is moving to an automatic registration process, rather than requiring eligible men to sign up manually.”

[USA TODAY @USATODAY]

Eligible men will be automatically registered into the U.S. military draft pool by December in an effort to streamline the existing self-registration process, according to the agency that oversees the system. https://t.co/atPEISo6Vz

سوشل میڈیا پر یہ افواہیں پھیلائی جا رہی ہیں کہ متحدہ عرب امارات پاکستانی کمیونٹی کو ملک بدر کر رہا ہے۔
یہ گمراہ کن معلومات ہیں جو بدنیتی سے پھیلائی جا رہی ہیں، جن کا مقصد خوف پیدا کرنا اور لوگوں کو بغیر کسی بنیاد کے جلد بازی میں اپنی نوکریاں چھوڑنے پر مجبور کرنا ہے۔

حقیقت یہ ہے کہ 17 لاکھ سے زائد پاکستانی متحدہ عرب امارات میں امن کے ساتھ رہ رہے ہیں، کام کر رہے ہیں اور اپنے خاندانوں کے ساتھ مستحکم زندگی گزار رہے ہیں، اور وہ معاشرے اور مشترکہ کامیابی کا حصہ ہیں۔

افواہوں کے پیچھے مت چلیں…
معلومات صرف سرکاری ذرائع سے لیں، ان اکاؤنٹس سے نہیں جو صرف خوف پھیلانے کی کوشش کرتے ہیں۔

متحدہ عرب امارات سب کے لیے کام اور احترام کی سرزمین رہی ہے اور رہے گی 🇦🇪🇵🇰
