PM hands budget-making to Dar!

The government on Wednesday handed over the responsibility of making the new budget to Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar after it found the initial work below par, as the IMF also began its own scrutiny of new tax proposals https://t.co/bPpM3oepzO

Look who’s talking! A monster who patronizes and promotes the rape of Palestinian prisoners — women, men, and children — by Israeli soldiers, prison guards, and dogs.

Humanity’s head hangs in shame.

Any member of the Judicial Commission that votes for transferring the Islamabad High Court judges without their consent – the bravest and most capable jurists in the country among them – is complicit in the court’s capture and the continued crushing of judicial independence.

No signs of regime change in Iran yet, but Arab states should take note: when your own people celebrate strikes on your soil, and you're forced to deploy troops to contain domestic anger, it's time to rethink alliances.

🇸🇦🇶🇦⚡️- GCC troops roll into Bahrain from Saudi Arabia, to suppress pro-Iranian protests which are turning into an uprising in Bahrain.

If Iranian people are energised and motivated according to you, show some balls and go back and lead them and remove the regime. Put your money where your arse is, bloody parasitical imperial whore..

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

They illegally bomb another country without any justification, for the second year running, and then they put out videos as if they’re the innocent victims. Beyond parody.

[Ammar Ali Jan @ammaralijan]

Yalda Hakim parroted Hindutva's narrative during Indian aggression against Pakistan . She used Zionist talking points to justify Israeli attack on Iran. Not surprising that she is now promoting Taliban's narrative against Pakistan. Yalda is a vile propagandist, not a journalist.

“Verification takes time. Fake content goes viral instantly.”

At #AJCONF, speakers warned that punitive laws under PECA won’t stop disinformation, calling instead for rights-respecting regulation, platform accountability, and urgent digital literacy reforms.

All roads leading to Karachi Press Club have been blocked by placing containers and parking buses. The State wants to deny journalists, advocates and civil society the right to protest and expose the sham trial and conviction of Advocates Imaan Mazaari and Hadi Ali Chatha.

No number of disappearances, arrests and convictions can rid the State of its fear of the truth. Sindh Police are again being used and abused as a tool by the PPP Govt and Establishment to trample of fundamental rights.

This really has the vibes of - “but it was so foolish of her to be going there, at that time, wearing those clothes…”.

If bughz-e-Imran makes it so hard for you to criticise even the most blatantly draconian acts of this regime, maybe just sit this one out?

[Niha Dagia @nhd00]

How will @ImaanZHazir and @AdvHadiali appear in court when they’ve been arrested? Make it make sense.

Wrote about the daredevil motorcyclists we know as "shapatars", whom most of us see as a menace to road safety. I try to understand what compels these young thrill-seekers to persist with this perilous activity and whether there can be some guardrails..

Reportedly, 4 people in Herat province were detained & sent to rehab by Taliban's Virtue Ministry for imitating characters from British crime series, Peaky Blinders & parading around city resembling the vintage gangsters, an act seen as violating local values.
