So this removal of barricade led to the conviction of Iman Mazari and her Husband under anti-terrorism laws and both were given 10-year sentence each. This will certainly improve Pakistan's global ranking in justice index!

Human rights lawyers Imaan Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chattha deserve justice. Today they were sentenced to ten years in prison on counts of “terrorism.” Their crime? Defending activists, lawyers and marginalized communities that were subjected to enforced disappearances and unjust charges.
They underwent an unfair trial for this fearless human rights work. Authorities must immediately release Imaan and Hadi and drop all charges against them.

🚨🚨#BREAKING: In a highly controversial and sham trial anti terrorism court sentences 10 years imprisonment each to #Pakistan’s most devoted and prominent human rights defenders @ImaanZHazir and @AdvHadiali. Pakistani state continue punishing the globally recognised couple for their human rights work and domestically loved by all marginalised segments of the society for representing them probono.

The Cricket vs Baseball debate is HOT right now. As someone who loves and understands both sports here are my thoughts.

یہ حال ہے آج کل کے تجزیہ کاروں کا
اخے کچھ وقت گذرا تو میں سمجھا کہ میں غلط تھا
تو بھائی کچھ اور وقت گذار لو شاید تم سمجھ جاؤ کہ تم پہلے ٹھیک تھے
اور سیاسی قیادت میں آمریت نظر آ جائے تو کیا اصل آمروں کے بوٹ چاٹنا فرض ہو جاتا ہے
اس سیمینار اور اسکے مقررین کی سنجیدگی اور معیار کا اندازہ سامنے بیٹھے ناظرین اور سامعین کے بھولپن سے لگایا جا سکتا ہے۔
میں 18ویں ترمیم کا بہت بڑا مداح رہا ہوں۔ میں زرداری صاحب کا عقیدت مند نہیں، مگر میں سمجھتا تھا کہ اگر کسی شخص نے پاکستان میں کوئی اسٹرکچرل تبدیلی لائی ہے تو وہ آصف زرداری ہیں، لیکن جوں جوں وقت گزرا، مجھے اندازہ ہوا کہ یہ اچھا نہیں ہوا، سینیئر صحافی عمر چیمہ

عجب تیرا تجزیہ، عجب تیرا بیان
یزید سے بھی مراسم، حسینؓ کو بھی سلام
یہ بدبخت عورت کس طرح فوج کے گورنر راج لگانے سہیل آفریدی، سپیکر اور صوبائی صدر کو غائب کرنے کے عمل کو آپس میں لنک کر رہی ہے
ن لیگ کی صحافی کا کہنا ہے اگر گورنر راج ناپسندیدہ عمل ہے تو پھر جو کچھ PTI کی حکومت کر رہی تھی وہ بھی ناپسندیدہ عمل ہے
کیا اس ن لیگ کی ایکٹویسٹ نے جب مشرف نے ایمرجنسی لگائی تھی تو کہا تھا کہ مشرف کا طیارہ اغواء کرنا بھی ناپسندیدہ عمل ہے اور پھر ایمرجنسی لگانا بھی ناپسندیدہ عمل ہے
یہیں عسکری صحافی کل کو جمہوریت کا الاپ لانپے گی اور جمہوری چورن بیچنے کی کوشش کریں گے لیکن اپنے چھوٹے چھوٹے زاتی فائدوں کے لیے ان کے جمہوریت پر حملے ناقابل معافی ہیں

In early 2025, an ordinary home renovation reportedly led to an extraordinary discovery when workers removed part of the flooring and found a living tortoise underneath. Even more astonishing was the claim that the animal had been trapped in darkness for over a decade.
Tortoises can survive harsh conditions by dramatically slowing their metabolism and conserving energy. However, surviving for more than ten years with limited food, water, and sunlight would be incredibly rare and would require unusual circumstances. While the exact details of this story remain uncertain, the discovery highlights the remarkable resilience of these animals and the incredible survival mechanisms found in nature.

جن کی فطرت اور وجود میں آمریت کوٹ کوٹ کر بری ہو اُن سے جمہوریت کی امید رکھنا حماقت ہے آج ایک بار پھر PPP اور PMLN نے بڑی دھوم دھام سے جمہوریت کا جنازہ نکال کر یہ صابت کیا

If there were an award for lies, hatred, and blood libels, Navi Pillay wouldn’t just be a contender. She’d be a frontrunner.
Her role in the relentless, politically motivated demonization of Israel and promotion of the genoLIE speaks volumes.
Awarding Pillay the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t a recognition of justice. It’s the grotesque weaponization of an award to legitimize anti-Israel hatred and prejudice.
Now that the Nobel commission has rewarded the biggest lie of the 21st century, Joseph Goebbels is certainly applauding from hell.

Never seen Pakistanis, Indians, Afghans, Arabs, Iranians, and Americans more united than they are in their disgust for Pakistan’s military-backed Prime Minister under this tweet.
Been a while since I saw the world unite like this.
Maybe Shehbaz Sharif deserves a Nobel himself.
President Donald Trump played a historic role in advancing peace in South Asia. His timely intervention helped bring Pakistan and India back from the brink and secure a ceasefire, that is holding till today.
In recognition of his outstanding contribution, Pakistan had nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
We sincerely hope President’s efforts to promote peace and prevent conflict in our region receive due recognition this time.

Cheques in Pakistan are about to stop traveling between banks. 📊 🏦
From October 15, the State Bank will begin rolling out the Pakistan Express Clearing System, where banks exchange cheque images electronically through NIFT instead of moving paper.
It starts with a pilot at selected institutions, extends to all participating banks by December 31, and is due to reach nationwide coverage by April 30, 2027.

I love Pakistan. I love the people, their culture and how they have always been so hospitable to me when I visit.
I simply cannot how imagine how the good Pakistani people put up with this disgusting little turd and his corrupt gang.
Free Imran Khan.

Khalid Riaz, Saudi oil giant Aramco’s partner in Pakistan and a prominent oil businessman close to PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, is paying Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja Rs3 million a month as rent of two empty plots.
The CEC receives the amount as “rent” for “two properties”. However, a recent FactFocus investigation found that both properties are vacant plots overgrown with wild weeds, bushes and untended grass, with no sign of construction or business activity.

Eleven years after Pakistan's parliament voted to keep the country out of a Saudi-led intervention in Yemen in 2015, Islamabad has agreed to rapidly deploy more forces to Saudi Arabia without a parliamentary vote, highlighting the military's grip on foreign policy under Field Marshal Asim Munir reut.rs/4hDjnNz
