There's nothing to celebrate, nothing to cheer. The civilians died, the Jawans of Law enforcement agencies died. The madness yet took more blood. The politicians on both sides will sleep peacefully as always, the mothers will mourn, the children will mourn.
Callous behaviour by the Chief Minister of Punjab to abandon her people at a time of ecological catastrophe. It's a message from the ruling classes that when society faces collapse, they will be the first ones to abandon it. The irresponsibility and lack of empathy is disgusting!

پاکستان وہ ملک جہاں "سر تن سے جدا" کے نعرے لگانے والوں کو ریاست تحفظ دیتی ہے جبکہ امن شانتی اور رواداری کا پرچار کرنے والوں پر تشدد کرتی ہے۔
سیف سمیجو، جامی چانڈیو اور دیگر پرامن مظاہرین پر سندھ پولیس کا بلاجواز تشدد قابل مذمت ہے۔ سندھ حکومت کے لیے یہ شرم سے ڈوب مرنے کا مقام ہے۔
Making Gaza into a ticketed spectacle is par for the course here. The genocide for some in the public sphere isn’t a question of moral good vs bad, it isn’t about liberation; it isn’t even about the Palestinians - it’s about the spectacle & opportunity. Disgusting.
There’s no Olympian in Pakistan right now to comment on the country’s performance in the Paris Olympics on TV. News channels are bringing cricketers on air to discuss Arshad Nadeem’s gold medal. I have no words! Please invest in sports other than cricket. Now or never. #Gold 🇵🇰
Gwadar under curfew and Parachinar under siege isn't "newsworthy" for our self-obsessed political crowd and media. The same crowd would discuss menstrual cycles of a former first lady with ease.
❌ FALSE: A viral X post posted an image of an injured child smiling and claimed the child was shot and injured by the Pakistani army during the #BannuAmanMarch. But the picture is from 2022, not the 2024 clashes.

This press conference should be shown in communication schools to explain how intense paranoia, lack of introspection, and misdirected rage from the ruling elites lead to the collapse of institutions and entire societies.
If you want to understand the Two-Nation Theory as practiced by the Pakistani state, see the difference in the state's response to TLP dharna in Islamabad and the peaceful protestors in Bannu.
Pakistan is fast becoming unlivable. You are just one signal away from being robbed, one interaction away from being harrassed or molested, one argument away from being shot at, one misunderstanding away from being lynched.

Farmers in Punjab face a financial catastrophe. Instead of listening to their grievances, Punjab govt has resorted to a brutal crackdown against the protesting farmers.
Solidarity to Kissan Ittehad that is leading the farmers' movement to demand a fair price for their labour.
