Op-Ed: "The gravest damage was done not by generals or bureaucrats but by judges. The judiciary was meant to be the citizen’s shield — the one institution whose purpose is to say no to power on the authority of law. But it too was a colonial inheritance, and carried the reflex in its bones: under the Raj it had served the sovereign, not the subject, and at independence it transferred that loyalty from the departed Crown to the new establishment, not the people. So when the tanks rolled, the courts, again and again, said yes."

I encourage everyone to read this article by Mansoor Ali Shah today.
How this man wasn’t made chief justice is a travesty and disservice to the country. https://t.co/DMLhYOqz5f
مرشد نے کئی سال پہلے 26ویں ترمیم کا احوال بیان کر دیا تھا۔ قوم کو سمجھ نہیں آئی یہ علیحدہ بات ہے۔ اور پھر یہ سیاست کے گرو گھنٹال کہتے ہیں عمران خان کو سیاست نہیں آتی اور اس کے پاس ویژن نہیں ہے یہ پڑھی ہے تمہاری سیاست اور یہ پڑھا ہے تمہارا ویژن۔
Israeli public media is posting the Jabalia death march as the ultimate victory picture of Israel's genocide.
Children, men & women caged in a concentration camp, starved & bombed, then rounded up & forced to move to the next concentration camp to be caged, starved, & bombed!
🚨Rescuing an injured baby from the rubble of his home, destroyed in an Israeli attack, The sight of him in pain, sucking his finger instead of breastfeeding from his mother.. who was also killed in the airstrike.. is devastating.
What did he do to deserve this? What did he do‼️
Let me fix it for you brother…
Missing Senators being brought to Parliament, the party leader wasn’t in contact with his missing senators for weeks…and this is how 26 Amendment is being passed
3 times PM, daughter current CM, brother PM & still irrelevant from Pakistani politics, man with zero legacy sitting on a seat stolen from a 70 plus year old cancer patient on form 47
🚨🚨#BREAKING: Both allegedly abducted #BNP Mengal senators brought to parliament from backside in tight security and manhandled journalists who tried to question them.
This constitutional amendment has one simple objective: to prevent Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Muneeb Akhtar from becoming the Chief Justice, and from hearing any constitutional cases.
#26thAmendment
The Constitution has been mutilated by a Parliament that lacks legitimacy and the people’s mandate.
There is no social contract between the citizens of Pakistan and the State of Pakistan.
From dark times to darkest times…
Why has the whole constitutional amendment affair become a tamasha and is being discussed in drawing rooms? Why is the draft not being placed before Parliament which is how such serious matters are dealt with? If the numbers are not there, what is the desperation?
May Allah Bless the soul of Dr Rizwan, Director FIA.
He refused to sell his soul like those who gave #NRO2.
#Pakistan is surviving because of honest officers like Dr Rizwan.
"Brute Majority" looks somewhat like this:
•Kidnapping parliamentarians
•Kidnapping their family members
•Buying their votes
•Blackmailing & threatening parliamentarians
•Destroying business & seizing or destroying their properties
And PPP calls this democracy!
The world sees the horror of the constitutional amendments being forced on to the people of Pakistan. Daughters and wives of members of parliament have been abducted to coerce votes in favour of the amendments that destroy an independent judiciary.
The govt is forcing truckers to hand over containers to block tomorrow’s protest.
These containers are critical for transporting imports and exports, playing a key role in sustaining economy.
Using them for protest control disrupts trade and repeatedly failed for protests.
