This is how mainstream media including both Tv Channels and Print have made themselves irrelevant. Early in the morning it was reported that 4 security personnel and 1 civilian were killed at the place of PTI Convoy at the outskirts of Islamabad.
Soon after Senior Journalist @Matiullahjan919 reported directly from PIMS with one Safeer Ali who claimed to be real brother of civilian deceased Mohammad Ilyas who claimed that his brother and Ranger personnel got killed by getting crushed under Police and Ranger vehicles as they were speeding away from the protestors after they ran out of tear gas. But almost all of Pakistan's media has only aired the Govt version where the deaths have been claimed as a result of the attack of protestors.
The TV Channels and Newspapers didn't even bother airing/running the cross version and only presenting the Govt version as absolute truth. This is why masses especially younger audiences don't rely on conventional media for news as conventional media compromised its own integrity.
The loss of life on either side is most condemnable and unfortunate. But if we are sincerely saddened by these losses then the least we can do is present the entire picture, ask questions, demand a transparent inquiry into these deaths as opposed to giving conclusions.
@SydZainRaza @Shehzad89 Also the US Congress is being pressured by the Pakistani diaspora vs the Biden admin pressuring General Bajwa.
See the difference?
@SydZainRaza @Shehzad89 The issue is that in 2022, Bajwa and PDM sought foreign interference to topple a government.
However today, IK is asking the US to STOP interfering by ceasing support to the current unelected regime and allowing the winner of Feb 8 to take power.
There's a big difference.
In the next hour, I will move a motion to create a Canada-India Committee to protect Canadians and our country.
This committee will empower Parliament to dig into India's foreign and democratic interference.
Every leader must show India that we are a united front and that Modi has no ally in our Parliament.
We must put our country before party.
Russian losses have exceeded 600,000 soldiers with Ukraine continuing to destroy Russian equipment—over 10,000 armored vehicles. Russian forces are advancing in Donbas, but face shortages despite support from North Korea. Civilian deaths due to the invasion have exceeded 30,000.
@MIRwrites@SHaiderRMehdi@OAG_BVG@TorontoPolice@PakinCanada_ You should be more worried about threats being sent to a Canadian citizen from Pakistani soil than the other way around.
The Pakistani people, along with the international community, stand with freedom and against PDM/Pak fauj's fascism.
Read the room.
Pakistan: Three family members of political workers from the opposition party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have been forcibly disappeared since June 2024.
Two brothers of PTI member Azhar Mashwani, Professors Mazhar-ul-Hassan and Zahoor-ul-Hassan, and Shahbaz Gill’s brother, Ghulam Shabbir, were disappeared on 6 June and 9 June respectively. The whereabouts of all three individuals remain unknown.
Take action by calling for their immediate release: https://t.co/OtQSYaYlfD
“Before investigating any matter, the FIA should apologize to me for fabricating a baseless case against me like the cipher case.
After the cipher, as Prime Minister, I conveyed a demarche to the Americans to protect Pakistan's sovereignty and to make my nation proud, and I presented the facts to my people.
My message to my nation was clear: we are a sovereign and dignified nation that will never accept interference in our internal affairs.
The cipher was actually sent to General Bajwa to topple my elected democratic government.
General Bajwa colluded with thieves for an extension of his tenure and imposed them on the nation.
I take responsibility for the posts made on my X (Twitter) account, but being in jail, I could not watch the video before it was uploaded.
Today, I was shown the video which contains the content of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report.
Had I seen the video before uploading, I would have made a few minor changes to make the message more effective.
The Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report covers the causes, reasons, and characters involved in a tragic event in our national history.
The two main objectives of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report were to identify those responsible for the tragedy and to point out mistakes.
I referred to the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report so that we could learn from past mistakes.
In the context of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report, the criticism of General Yahya Khan is based on his political decision-making.
General Yaqub and Admiral Ahsan, stationed in East Pakistan, advised Yahya Khan against military action in East Pakistan, for which they had to resign.
The constitution binds the military to stay completely out of politics so they can perform their professional duties without facing criticism.
The Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report clearly states that General Yahya Khan was fully engaged in political decision-making.
Political decisions are criticized worldwide, and democracy fully protects such criticism.
A military head is not elected or appointed through a referendum, so it is in the military's best interest, as mandated by the constitution, to keep itself and its leadership away from politics and political decisions.
When a military head gets involved in politics or makes political decisions, he steps out of his position and into the political arena.
Yahya Khan's decision of not transferring power to a government with a decisive majority and public mandate, and letting the country face a tragic incident, were his decisions.
The situation rapidly deteriorated into internal chaos and division because the public mandate was not respected, resulting in the country's split.
Pakistan and its military paid a heavy price for Yahya Khan's involvement and interest in political decision-making.
After making political decisions and getting deeply involved in politics, it was impossible for General Yahya Khan to hide behind the military, so both the Hamoodur Rahman Commission and history have critically evaluated his role.
The extraordinary similarity between the events of the 1970s and today's situation is a cause for concern for every sensible Pakistani.
In the 1970s, the country was divided; today, our economy is in ruins with minimal chances of improvement,
The attempt to revive the economy through the SIFC has failed miserably.
Crushing the country's largest and most publicly mandated party through lawlessness will not improve the economy.
The FIA should investigate who abducted Azhar Mashwani's brothers and for what crime.
Social media workers are our heroes and assets of the nation, and the harassment of them and their families should stop.
The chances of economic improvement will only arise when the public mandate is respected, and decision-making is entrusted to democratically elected representatives with the public mandate”- Imran Khan.

*28 Nov 23. Sher Afzal Marwat. A short note- Haider Mehdi*
Assalaam Alaykum,
This refers to my VLOG earlier today with Dr. Zafar Bangash saheb about Sher Afzal Marwat statement on PTI Chairmanship.
Insights are linear and experiential.
Which means that what we knew at a certain point in time on which we assessed the events, situations or people is not permanent.
As events unfold, new things come to light, new information, new data, new behaviours by people, our assessment and perspectives are re-defined.
My views and perspectives about Sher Afzal Marwat fall in this category.
I find huge question marks and contradictions about his actions and the absence of a serious crackdown against him.
And it's not just me but extremely prominent people within PTI and some very close to Imran, whose names I cannot disclose.
But whatever I say is based on very authentic information, so far, and my own assessment in analyzing the publicly available information and privately acquired insights.
Each one of us may chose to carry their own views based on their own assessments. My current views are based on current information, insights and assessment.
And yes my assessment could be wrong.
For now, Sher Afzal Marwat's conduct raises very serious questions about him.
Salaams and Prayers
Haider Mehdi
This is my VLOG of 28 Nov in which I first shared my views about @sherafzalmarwat
