I had been following everyone because I believed this platform could foster mature interactions, unlike others we’ve seen in the past. Unfortunately, I was proven wrong. If I mistakenly unfollowed you, feel free to drop a comment, & I’ll follow you back

The long-term consequences of this either the institution survives, or the public does. I hope that, in the coming decades, those responsible for these decisions will be held accountable for their actions.

15.12.2024 10:00 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0No democratic country can deny this right, and examples of violent protests exist across the globe. Even on May 9, the protesters did not target military installations such as missiles, tanks, or trenches
15.12.2024 10:00 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Yet, those responsible conveniently claim that the military has no involvement in politics. In functioning democracies, protests are often disruptive and occasionally violent, but the right to protest remains a universally recognized and protected fundamental right.

Pakistan’s military has already announced the trials of civilians—activists of a political party that, despite being barred, stopped, & rigged against, still secured a majority of seats in the latest elections—within military courts are a blatant case of political interference.

However, policy statements from HTS leadership avoiding the implementation of regressive religious laws are now sparking criticism for the Afghan Taliban. Most likely within Afghan Taliban

04.12.2024 11:06 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The fading politics of PML-N seems to be getting a lifeline through the oxygen of Punjabi nationalism, with Ranjeet Singh as its newfound ideal. It’s understandable—one person’s hero can be another’s villain. But here, the 'Faujeet Singhs' are keeping themselves quite busy

The reason is the support for Mullaism within the ranks of the forces. Even Hazrat Hafiz Syed Asim Munir Shah Sahib begins his public speeches with religious touch

Note: This is a straightforward question. Don’t derail the conversation by accusing others of being traitors
Where is humanity? Where are the so-called great Pashtun "rewayat"? For what reason, & on whose behalf, is this being done? Shame on you and the beliefs that drive you to take the lives of innocent people. In this difficult time I stand with Shia community. I know I can do nothing but stand with you

Sources say there were prior warnings yet the convoy was attacked under the nose of LEAs. Attacks and looting in Bagan, Mandori, and Uchit continue

The fire they ignited is now consuming the lives of ordinary ones struggling for basic needs. Meanwhile, the very soldiers they exploit are reduced to carrying the bodies of their fallen comrades on donkeys
