The Afghan deportation remind me of the tales I've heard of partition. Campaigns and posters asking residents to report about any illegal Afghan reminds me of the Nazi times. Sending off these men, women, and children in big trucks is a heartbreaking sight.

@syedirfanashraf Proud of You!!

@nasirjkhattak The word “Public” is losing its value and we are driven towards neoliberal models where only commercialism will thrive. Feel sorry for the kids coming from far flung regions in the hope of education but are faced with economic challenges. We need more funds for quality education!

@faizjan Good to see pets at the house again!!!

@MichaelKugelman Pakistan lost an opportunity to secure 5.7 b! Glad Bangladesh is doing well. Much better than what they cudve been with us!

[Michael Kugelman @MichaelKugelman]

While Pakistan has struggled mightily to unlock $1B in IMF funds, Bangladesh quietly finalized a new $4.7B IMF package this week. Why did Bangladesh, which is experiencing much less severe economic stress than is Pakistan, get a larger deal inked in relatively rapid fashion? 🧵

“Once through this ruined city did I pass
I espied a lonely bird on a bough and asked
‘What knowest thou of this wilderness?’
It replied: 'I can sum it up in two words:
‘Alas, Alas!”

کل ہم نے 80 سے زائد جنازے اٹھائے اور لاہوری جشن منا رہے تھے
پس پشاور میں 80 شہداء کے جنازوں اور 170 کے قریب زخمیوں کے باوجود لاہور میں ناچ گانا ثابت کرتا ہے،

No more politics in the name of Pashtuns! We want peace! Just peace …

بدامنی پیدا کی جائیگی،دھماکے ہونگے،سی پیک تک بات پہنچ جائیگی
پھر
چائنہ سے پیسے لئے جائینگے کہ دھشتگردی سے سی پیک کو نقصان ہے ہم نے مارنے ہے
اور
امریکہ سے ڈالر لئے جائینگے کہ ہم نے مزید بنانے ہے تاکہ سی پیک ناکام ہوجائے۔
پس
ایک کو مارینگے اور دو کو بنائینگے تاکہ کاروبار جاری ہو۔

[Pervez Khan @zeroprofessor]

"Pakistan needs all the help it can get at this difficult time. Yet obstacles are being placed [by state] in way of [allowing] INGOs [to carry out relief activities in Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan]. Thnx Dawn for Op-ed. It is man-made disaster, we know.

These floods in Pakhtunkhwa and elsewhere has exposed the weak infrastructure. Just exposes the decades of underinvestment and the deliberate sidelining of these people!!!! #FloodsInPakistan

[Hamid Mir حامد میر @HamidMirPAK]

بارش کے پانی میں لوگ مر رہے ہیں پانی میں جنازے اُٹھ رہے ہیں مرنے والوں کو دفن کرنے کے لئے خشک زمین نہیں اس مصیبت میں سیاسی قائدین کو اپنے اختلافات کچھ عرصے کے لئے بھلانے کی ضرورت ہے اگر لائن آف کنٹرول پر پاکستان اور بھارت سیز فائر کر سکتے ہیں تو ہمارے سیاسی قائدین بھی کر سکتے ہیں

[Michael Kugelman @MichaelKugelman]

Every effort Pakistan’s government makes to weaken Imran Khan will only end up making him stronger. Its dysfunctional and repressive policies play to his strengths as a populist and enable him to channel public outrage to his advantage. The numbers in those huge crowds don’t lie.

[Pervez Khan @zeroprofessor]

When a Pashtun is in jail he is a traitor!! When “Others” are subjected to minimal violence, it becomes a humans right issue!! So much for selective morality!! Condemn every act of violence !! #aliwazir #ShahbazGill
