ہارڈ اسٹیٹ کی ایک آئینی اکائی !
پاکستان کے مختلف صوبوں میں حالات کا موازنہ کیجیے تو ایک تلخ حقیقت نمایاں ہوتی ہے۔ پنجاب، سندھ اور بلوچستان میں آج بولنا، احتجاج کرنا، سیاسی مخالفت رکھنا جرم۔ چادر اور چار دیواری کا تقدس پامال، مخالفین پر جھوٹے مقدمات اور اداروں کی من مانیاں عام ہیں۔ پنجاب میں تو “CCD” جیسے ادارے ماورائے عدالت کارروائیوں اور مبینہ ہاف فرائی و فل فرائی جیسی سزاؤں کے لیے بدنام ہیں، اور حیرت انگیز طور پر ان اقدامات کا کریڈٹ خود صوبے کا چیف ایگزیکٹیو لیتا ہے۔
میڈیا خوف کے سائے میں ہے، سچ بولے تو اشتہارات بند، سوال کرے تو نوٹسز۔ سوشل میڈیا پر تنقید کرنے والا یا تو غائب ہو جاتا ہے یا مقدمے بھگتتا ہے۔
اس کے برعکس پختونخوا میں ایک مختلف منظرنامہ ابھرتا نظر آ رہا ہے۔ پارٹی پر عملی پابندی کے باوجود، اس کا سربراہ جیل میں رہ کر، سینکڑوں مقدمات بھگتے ہوئے بھی اپنے کارکنوں کو صبر، قانون کی پاسداری اور آئین کی بات کرتا ہے۔ عدلیہ اور آئینی اداروں تک کو استعمال کر کے اس جماعت کو دیوار سے لگانے کی کوشش کی گئی، مگر اسی جماعت کے منتخب وزیرِاعلیٰ سہیل آفریدی نے اپنی پہلی ہدایت میں افسران کو واضح پیغام دیا ہے کہ: “ یہ صوبہ آئینی دائرے میں رہ کر چلے گا، بولنے اور احتجاج کا حق ہر شہری کو حاصل ہے، سیاسی انتقام نہیں ہوگا، اور کسی کو ایم پی او کے تحت گرفتار نہ کیا جائے۔” یہی وہ فرق ہے جو خیبر پختونخوا کو محض ایک صوبہ نہیں، بلکہ آئینی پاکستان کا حقیقی جزو بناتا ہے۔
“Loss of human life in Pahlgam incident is deeply disturbing and tragic. I extend my deepest condolences to the victims and their families.
When the False Flag Palwama Operation incident happened, we offered to extend all-out cooperation to India but India failed to produce any concrete evidence. As I predicted in 2019, the same is happening again after Pahlgam incident. Instead of introspection and investigation, Modi Sarkar is again placing the blame on Pakistan.
Being a country of 1.5 billion people, India needs to act responsibly instead of messing with a region already known as “nuclear flashpoint.” Peace is our priority but it should not be mistaken as cowardice. Pakistan has got all the capabilities to give a befitting response to any Indian misadventure, as My Government, backed by whole nation, did in 2019.
I have always emphasized the importance of the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination, as guaranteed by United Nations resolutions.
I have also been highlighting the fact that India led by RSS ideology is a grave threat, not only to the region but beyond it. Indian oppression in Kashmir, intensified after the illegal abrogation of Article 370, has further fueled the Kashmiri people’s desire for freedom.
Sadly, the nation has been divided by an illegitimate government imposed through fraudulent Form-47 results. And yet, ironically, Narendra Modi’s aggression has united the people of Pakistan in one voice against Indian hostility. While we reject this fake regime, we stand firmly as one Pakistani nation and strongly condemn Modi's war-mongering and his dangerous ambitions that threaten regional peace.
Needless to say, to win the war against an external enemy, the nation must first be united. It is high time to put a halt to all actions that are further polarizing the nation. The state’s excessive focus on political victimisation at this critical time is deepening internal divisions and undermining the nation’s collective ability to confront external threats.
It is naive to expect any strong stance from self-serving figures like Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari. They will never speak out against India because their illegal wealth and business interests lie abroad. They profit from foreign investments, and to protect those financial interests, they remain silent in the face of foreign aggression and baseless allegations against Pakistan. Their fear is simple: that Indian lobbies might freeze their offshore assets if they dare to speak the truth.”

Congratulations on behalf of myself & PTI to @realDonaldTrump for winning the US Presidential Elections. The will of the American people held against all odds.
President Elect Trump will be good for Pak-US relations based on mutual respect for democracy & human rights. We hope he will push for peace, human rights and democracy globally.
“The people of Pakistan will have to come out against the occupation imposed by the Extension Mafia. Otherwise, our future generations will be forced to live like insects.
The country is under the control of an occupation and extension mafia, who are using every dirty tactic to extend their hold on power, which neither the constitution, nor the law, or even political ethics and morality, allows.
The 26th Constitutional Amendment and the other laws enacted for extensions are part of this scheme. Both the judiciary and parliament are being trampled upon, as well as the public.
The extensions that have been granted are a massacre of democracy, the rule of law, and the rights of the people. Forcing extensions and taking over does not strengthen institutions; it makes them weaker.
The nation must stand up for itself, get organized, and peacefully protest, because until there is a ‘Revolution of Justice’ in the country, democracy cannot prevail. To bring about this revolution of justice, everyone must come forward.
This is not an issue of any one person or party; it is a matter of Pakistan’s survival and integrity.”
