Even in death, #Ahmadis are denied dignity in #Pakistan. In Sheikhupura, radicals reportedly dug up an Ahmadi's grave, exhumed the body and desecrated the burial site. Imagine a society where religious hatred follows a person beyond the grave. @TahaSSiddiqui

While hospital authorities describe his condition as clinically stable, serious questions remain about transparency, access to family members and independent medical supervision. (2/2)

Pakistan's federalism cannot be measured merely by constitutional promises; it must also be measured by how financial powers and resources are distributed. (2/2)

Reading The Tragedy of Great Power Politics by John Mearsheimer. The more one studies international relations, the clearer it becomes: states pursue interests, not friendships.

WHERE DOES THE PEOPLE'S MONEY GO IN BALOCHISTAN? The provincial PAC has raised concerns over more than Rs12.11 billion in irregular expenditure by the Communications and Works Department during FY2023–24. (1/2) @imasbaloch #CorruptPakArmy dawn.com/news/2043137/baloch…

Another Rs3.24 billion from its allocation lapsed unused. #Balochistan needs roads, schools, hospitals and basic services—not financial irregularities and unspent development funds. Public money demands public accountability. (2/2)

Zia-ul-Haq invoked #Islam to justify public flogging, presenting corporal punishment as a tool of religious morality. Decades later, Asim Munir’s religious rhetoric raises familiar questions about the military’s political role. (1/2) @mazdaki

From Zia’s Islamisation to Munir’s religious nationalism, #Pakistan’s generals have repeatedly blurred the line between faith, state power, and military authority. Islam deserves better than becoming an instrument of authoritarian rule. (2/2)

Six people have been killed and 17 injured in a deadly shooting in Kraków, Poland. Authorities are investigating whether the suspected attacker acted alone and examining possible far-right motivations. theguardian.com/world/live/2…

This is #Balochistan , where generations of Baloch people have endured enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, military repression and systematic human rights abuses. (1/2) @balochi5252

The Pakistani Army’s continued militarisation of the province raises serious concerns about the future of the Baloch people. (2/2)

General Zia-ul-Haq did more than overthrow democracy; he reshaped Pakistan’s political and legal order to serve military power through religious ideology. Decades later, Asim Munir is bringing religious ideology back to the centre of Pakistan's military narrative. (2/2)

Now Democrats' victory brings scrutiny. Is this national diplomacy or one general's political investment? (2/2)

Growing up is realising that peace of mind is sometimes more valuable than being right, having the last word or winning an argument.
