My latest: Modi’s #India, keen to host the Olympics, is demonstrating why it should not.

The 27th Amendment is just a drop in the vast ocean of disappointment. Respect and admiration for these two judges who refused to continue swimming in it.

While foreign policy in South Asia is often (and rightfully) framed as elite-driven, domestic politics and public opinion is doing far more work behind the scenes than most folks want to admit.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stayed away from a regional leaders summit in Malaysia to avoid meeting US President Donald Trump and having a possible discussion about Pakistan https://t.co/IdtNjlgRUt

I don’t think this stat helps us understand water resources meaningfully. In 1951, the population was about one-fifth of what it is today. The fivefold drop in per-capita water availability mainly reflects population growth, not an absolute decline in total water supply.

[Benazir Shah @Benazir_Shah]

The Minister for Water informed the National Assembly that, according to recent estimates, Pakistan has transitioned from being a water-stressed to a water-scarce country.

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

The rate of global warming is accelerating.

Saw reports of an Indian missile strike on the old Islamabad Airport—now an airbase.

Called mom. As we spoke, the line crackled with the sound of multiple blasts in the distance.

Nothing prepares you for hearing war sounds erupt through a loved one’s voice.

Even if NIA believed its initial info was sufficient, needed time to consolidate inter-agency, or was following bad SOPs, it is still imprudent and questionable that a public appeal for info, photos, videos about the horrific Pahalgam attack came ~after~ escalation with Pakistan.

NIA Appeals to People to Share Information on Pahalgam Terror Attack, Releases Phone Numbers

As part of @SAVoices, Research Associate @sattarical examined #Pakistan's water insecurity and its relationship with the country's vast agricultural sector while offering policy recommendations and reforms to meet the challenges ahead.

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

Research by academic @clary_co and researcher @sattarical shows “eleven credible allegations,” aside from the foiled Pannun plot, “of targeted killings of anti-India terrorists, militants, or activists in the past two years.”

Add election result delays and overnight rigging to the mix, and it still was not enough to misrepresent the will of the Pakistani people.

It may, however, be enough to ensure the will of the Pakistani people is not reflected in the government's coalition.

And that's scary.

[Uzair Sattar @sattarical]

A Gestapo-style crackdown, media blackouts, internet blackouts, arrests, rearrests, election delays, more elections delays, audio leaks, military trials, "open" jail trials, convictions, more convictions, no Chairman, no Vice Chairman, no bat.

On February 8, it was not enough.

The frequency of individuals wanted by India found dead under mysterious circumstances has been higher in Pakistan than anywhere in the world.

It is significant that Islamabad is publicly acknowledging aspects of this after its tempered silence.

Pakistan claims to have "credible evidence" linking India to the deaths of two Pakistani nationals, Shahid Latif and Muhammad Riaz, in 2023.

[Uzair Sattar @sattarical]

The Foreign Secretary added that "there are a few other cases of similar gravity at various stages of investigation."

I highlighted some of these potential cases in this thread from Nov. 2023:

[Uzair Sattar @sattarical]

Over the past year or so, over a dozen militants wanted by India have been eliminated in Pakistan through extrajudicial killings.

Three attacks have occurred this month, just weeks after Trudeau's allegations on the floor of Canada's Parliament.
