I am surprised you've only JUST found that we are not a 'serious country', young man! Let me tell you a little story. While ZAB was undergoing his 'murder' trial in the LHC (not Sessions) he used to be brought to court in the back of an open police van, sitting on a cane chair 2/
وطنِ عزیز میں صرف ایک ہی منسٹری چلتی ہے۔ منسٹری آف بند - جو ہر چلتی شے کو بند کرتی ہے۔ انٹرنیٹ بند، کاروبار بند، سڑکیں بند، وغیرہ وغیرہ۔
اس منسٹری آف بند کو بند کر دیں تو قوم پر بڑا احسان ہو گا۔

I, as young gov officer, was driving my mother, Dr. Qaiser Siraj (late) to her ancestral home in Gujranwala about 30y back in our small family car. On GT Road toll plazas, I waived my service card and toll men let me go without Rs 5 toll.

We all thought that Maryam did not harass the woman whose selfie video with her went viral recently. We were wrong.
The woman in the video just reached out to me with her version of events.
I'm sharing is her full unedited statement here:
------------------------
Hi,
I hope you are in good health.
I have seen the video of Maryam Nawaz going viral and would like to let you know that I am the girl in the video. First and foremost, I would like to stay anonymous as that video was a private video taken months ago meant only for close family but unfortunately it was leaked by someone, which I never intended.
Secondly, I would never have felt the need to speak out however, have grown annoyed with the so called comments regarding, ‘her grace and patience’. My actions were not respectful and that’s exactly how I intended for them to be, I have no respect for corrupt politicians no matter what party or country they belong to, my heart will always be with people who are suffering, and when I can see that the legal system is not working in their favour, I have no issue with public ridicule. I also have no affiliation with the PTI party or Pakistani politics, so that is a nonsense narrative. I have no care for those individuals who are coming out to ‘condemn’ me for my actions, they mean nothing to me, I didn’t even know they existed.
As I said, my actions were not intended to be respectful and Maryam’s further actions were not either, which is not an unexpected response given the situation, but her blissfully ignorant supporters seem to assume she is the most well composed woman. In the video you can see she grabs my shoulder to which she then squeezes my arm and threateningly tells me to delete the video, what you don’t see in that video are the three bodyguards surrounding me. To note, I was by myself. All of them, with Maryam grabbing me, refused to let me go until they had seen proof that the video was deleted. The grown men demanded that they go through, not just my camera roll but also my recently deleted photos, to which I stood my ground and refused. It was only until they began to become more aggressive and I eventually became uncomfortable that I had shown them that I had, ‘deleted’ the video, that too, was to Maryam’s daughter because I refused to show the men at Maryam’s request.
There was an attempt of a power play in demanding that I delete the video, when I had the right to do what I did, I did not physically touch her like she did to me nor did I feel the need to. Freedom of speech is a human right here. A politician is a public job and thus public criticism/scrutiny should be expected. In that moment, when Maryam and her guards tried to overpower and intimidate me, I felt for a minute the helplessness thousands of Pakistani’s feel for being unable to freely speak and live how they want. And to those who have criticised me for being an obnoxious overseas Pakistani, they are right that I am far from Pakistan, yet why do I feel more hurt for the way Pakistanis are being treated than some of those who actually live there?
Privilege is a gift, and I intend to use mine to raise the voice of those who are suffering and not to suppress them. Regardless of whether or not it garners attention, which in this case, was not the intention.

Kind Regards,

Going to write a quick thread on this. Ugh I hate Pakistani politics now, because they are just dwindling and delaying our fundamental right of election.
1.The SC directed and told to hold elections within the 90 days
2.ECP decides to give their own time.

Leopards live inside Margallah Hills National Park. They are shy & avoid humans. During Ramzan, less people on trails, less disturbance & they might venture out on main trails. No need to panic. Leopards in park are sign of healthy ecosystem. Just follow guidelines @WildlifeBoard
