@FarhanHSiddiqi Heartiest congratulations sir!
Genuinely so happy for you, but would be so sad to see you go from QAU, and future students not having the chance to benefit from your knowledge.
You are genuinely the best professor I have ever had! Best of luck in your new role sir!

I have sympathies with minority ethnicities in Pakistan, but blanket anti-Punjabi arguments often ring hollow. The state is held hostage by elites from all provinces and higher ups in the army and bureaucracy (which there will naturally be more of because of Punjab’s high population). Blaming a regular Punjabi for just existing is ridiculous. Break up Punjab into smaller provinces, and do it for other provinces too for more efficient governance, but acting like all punjabis are exploiting you under some sochi samjhi scheme is just refusing to hold the right people accountable.

I appeared on a documentary at HUM News to discuss digital abuse against women in Pakistan and whether the current legal regime is effective in preventing that.

Let no amount of intellectual jargon distract you from their 4 decade long reign of despair in Sindh, his affluence and wasteful spending as Foreign Minister, and his complicity in bringing about Pakistan's worst shadow marital law. https://t.co/42nGtcTDDA

@fezsmh You think BMI was "secretly" homophobic? 💀

Once you leave Pakistan for a while & come back, you realise just how overpowering the patriarchy is here; even people who identify as feminist don't recognise how terribly most men behave here--even men who think of themselves as feminists! The bar is so low, it's underground.

Karan Goswami is a proud Sindhi Hindu & a Pakistani, born & raised in Hyderabad. A freelancer moved to Lahore for better economic opportunities & his former employer lost it when he resigned, he used his contacts in Lahore Police/FIA to torture him & scare his soul out of him 1/2

Update: I brought a bouquet of flowers in to put in front of the shameful banner, but by the time I arrived, it had been removed by someone.

Someone rightly said, "Pak Army has never lost a war it fought against its own people"

This is right next to the Islamabad Bar Council. What an insult.

@mobeen_hameed Great idea! Gonna do that now.

[Barrister Talha Ali @legal_issue]

Brilliant take 👏

[Mobeen Hameed @mobeen_hameed]

People leaving PTI in face of state brutality should not be criticized. Many of these are people that do not see politics as a means to power in which going to jail is just a minor setback but rather as a means to serve. They stood with the party as it went through its

More power, sir!

Support him or not, the fall of IK has shown that normal middle class people can never be part of politics in Pak. Pak politics is only for 3 groups:
1. Dynasties
2. Military
3. "Zameendar" elite (waderas, Sardar etc)

If that doesn't haunt ur nights, re-evaluate.

@Babakhelistan @ArifAlvi He's even more powerless than him. Wilhelm still had the ability to change things, he just showed restraint. Arif Alvi has no de jure power to change anything. All eyes on CJP.
May God give him strength.
