Ottoman Empire’s downfall vs Pakistan – Similarities 🧵🧵
The mighty Ottomans weren’t defeated by enemies but betrayed by their OWN ARMY, the Janissaries. 😵💫
Once the most feared force in the wear, they were forbidden to trade, do business or own properties..

Pepe escobar said“Mohsin Naqvi is the actual leader if 40 million shiites in Pakistan.”
This is such a laughable proposition and extreme lack of understanding of Pakistani politics. He was a broker for CNN in Pakistan and Moshin Naqvi is therein interior ministry due to his proximity to Field Marshal and because he is his relative. No one talked about him in international media because he doesn’t matter except as a messenger. When it comes to IRAN He is as important as USPS. Not a single shi’ite consider him his leader. Only thing he is good at was orderingthe killing of multiple dozens of protesters in kast few years. @RealPepeEscobar
Every year, the same Shia-Sunni debate.😾
For Sunnis:
postponing things for 2–3 days won’t kill you.. do it out of love for Ahl-e-Bait and sect harmony.
For Shias:
Stop moral policing and trying to enforce your school of thought.
Harmony doesn’t require being edgy 😒
If only there were no overseas Youthias, Imran Khan and PTI would be in a much better position...
This overseas lot is beyond reasoning and stupid AF.. Nonstop yapping
I guess she purchased this aircraft from CM Discretionary funds...
These funds usually bypass all systems, rules and audits...
Even AGP can just check the procedural legality of these expenses (signature and approval process only)
⚠️ My statement in response to govt threats:
First of all, thank you, Madam Minister, for promising to take action against your own @AzmaBokhariPMLN for spreading fake news about the Punjab government having bought the luxury Gulfstream to start its own airline, the imaginary "Air Punjab". Accountability, like charity, must begin at home. For this, you need applause. Please do share copy of the defamation notice you have served on Azma Bokhari.
Now, if you could answer the following questions:
- Why is Mr. Junaid Safdar yet to call a live press conference from his home in Raiwind to announce that he and his wife have been in Pakistan the past week? He is welcome to invite his favourite journalists, including MF. Given his family's obsession with documenting itself for posterity, I am sure there is photographic evidence of his activities in the past week, which he is welcome to share in this press conference. Our only condition is that the presser should be live and before the Gulfstream returns to Lahore this evening (around 2100 PST).
- Why is the luxury jet, which your government initially disowned, still not registered in the Government of Punjab's name?
- Which head of account was used to purchase the aircraft? Was the PPRA process followed? If so, could you point to the advertisements placed on the PPRA website and in national/international newspapers by the Government of Punjab for soliciting bids for the award of contract?
Why had the Gulfstream (Registration Number N144S), which is currently inbound to Lahore, been parked in Vienna for over a week?
- If the aircraft required maintenance, could you share the invoice charged to the Government of Punjab and also explain which head of account was used to defray the costs?
- What was the full cost of travel to Vienna and maintenance, including parking fees at Vienna? Again, which head of account was used to make the payment?
- Incidentally, why did the aircraft need such extensive maintenance a few weeks after purchase? Did the Government of Punjab take this up with the company it bought the aircraft from? If so, copy of correspondence is welcome.
- Finally, what was the flight manifest of the aircraft that departed from Lahore?
