The PIA KHI-LHR flight was delayed a bit, 5 minutes or so. The flight captain apologized by reciting poem of Munir Niazi: "Hamesha Dair Kar Daita Hon Mein."
WHAT a pleasant surprise! People like him make things easier. Recruit more of them, @PIAplanes

Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal. Setting aside the noise, we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps. Peace has never been this close as it is now.

@Sughrasadafdr As if Pakistan is a cake, to be cut as we like! It's a Federation and changing its nature will have consequences that nobody will take responsibility for.

🎥 Professor Rashid Khalidi on the dangers of “purity politics” and why meaningful political change requires broad coalitions, strategic alliances, and building power beyond politics as “self-satisfaction.”

Khalidi says that if the goal is to stop arms sales, advance divestment, and shift policy, movements cannot remain trapped in a “tiny, ineffective minority.”

جنید حفیظ کی آج پھر سماعت تھی۔ اُن کے بزرگ والد گھنٹوں کا سفر کر کے لاہور ہائی کورٹ پہنچے لیکن دونوں معزز جج صاحبان نے آج پھر مقدمے کی سماعت سے انکار کر دیا۔ عدالتیں یا وکلاء تنظیمیں ان جج صاحبان کو کن قوانین کے تحت پابند کریں کہ وہ مقدمہ سُننے کی ہمت کریں۔ جنید حفیظ گزشتہ سترہ سال سے عدالتوں کے رحم و کرم پر ہے، انسانی حقوق کی تنظیمیں خاموش اور ادارے بے بس ۔۔۔ انصاف کہاں ملے گا؟ #JusticeForJunaidHafeez

Hussain Rehar becomes the first Pakistani designer to appear on the #Cannes2026 red carpet, wearing a classic sherwani crafted in handwoven tissue silk, paired with an emerald-green amulet accessory. Classy.

@zaighamkhan Great to take your audience to much more deep and far affecting factors behind the politics of populism (and Bullshit)!!

If Pakistan is serious about skills and employment, radio should be central....not peripheral.
Imagine daily programming on trades, job matching, migration pathways in regional languages.
Radio can reach where policy documents never will.

Pleased to share that Shifa International Hospital will be soft launched in coming weeks and will be soon fully operational in Lyallpur (Faisalabad)—a joint venture between Interloop Holdings & Shifa International
This milestone reflects a deliberate investment in strengthening the city’s social infrastructure, grounded in our conviction that access to quality healthcare is a critical driver of sustainable economic progress

As an Iranian who studied at the University of Tehran and then Harvard and now teach at the University of Chicago, my message to Reza Pahlavi is: Get Fucked.

[Ishtiaq Ahmad @ahmadishtiaq]

Pakistan is quietly incentivising Iran as part of backchannel diplomacy with Trump and allies.
The commerce ministry has waived bank guarantee requirements for exports to Iran and transit trade to Central Asia via Iran for three months—easing trade and signalling economic flexibility alongside ongoing diplomacy.

@adogar_aslam @soulat_pasha @toto2100 F S Goindi is the publisher.

[Iqbal Haider Butt @iqbutt]

@adogar_aslam @soulat_pasha @toto2100 interviewed, transcribed and wrote the book. He didn't formally receive a single word of acknowledgement in the book.
It's a professional misconduct and intellectual dishonesty.

My article argues that resistance to girls’ education is rooted partly in the geopolitics of the 1980s. If the world could fund conflict then, it can fund girls’ education now. Read why the next strategic investment must be in girls. @TheNewsonSunday

پاکستان کے جج، جرنیل اور علما ایک لمحے کے لیے تصور کریں کہ ان کا ایک بیٹا فل برائٹ اسکالر ہو، وطن کی محبت میں امریکہ چھوڑ کر اپنے ملک کی خدمت کے لیے واپس آئے، اور اچانک توہینِ مذہب کے الزام میں سزا پا کر گزشتہ 13 برس سے قید میں ہو۔ آپ کے دل پر کیا گزرے گی؟

شاید تب آپ کو جنید حفیظ کے بوڑھے والدین کا دکھ سمجھ آئے، جن کا گھر اور کاروبار پہلے ہی تباہ ہو چکا ہے مگر وہ آج بھی حضرت یعقوبؑ کی طرح اپنے یوسف کے انتظار میں ہیں۔

میری صدر آصف علی زرداری صاحب سے گزارش ہے کہ اِس عیدالفطر کے اس بابرکت موقع پر جنید حفیظ کو رہا کر کے ایک خاندان کی امید لوٹا دیں۔
