Madrasas reflect gaps in public education across Pakistan—not an engineered project of ethnic radicalisation. Facts deserve louder voices.

Werna hey yaha

Hi everyone, I just unfollowed trolls/bots. 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

It appears that with each passing day, the institution is losing ground to the public. 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.

If the country were to enter a full-scale war, wouldn’t this amount to using civilians as human shields? None of the wars they claim to have won in the past were fought under such circumstances.

but instead struck lavish residences—colonial-era inheritances—located within civilian areas. These locations raise serious concerns. Why are such installations placed among civilian populations?

No 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

Yet, 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.

Thread 🧵
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.

Barelvi and Shia versions are not less dangerous as well as Wahabi

Afghan Taliban and other extremist groups initially celebrated HTS's victory in #Syria. 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

The name of his own biological father is listed as a terrorist by the United Nations, yet he is set to conduct trials of civilians in military courts.

The funny thing is that a lot of these Punjabi nationalists don’t even live in Pakistan.

It’s not possible but Punjabi nationalism needs foundations which are still unfounded

It’s okay we should have no problem

The 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

If you disagree with them, they’ll waste no time labeling you as a “Youthia” much like religious extremists who are quick to brand others as kafir, Wahhabi, Shia, Ahmadi, or anything else that suits their narrative. 2/2

A lot of self-proclaimed experts are desperately trying to convince others that the gang of criminals—left behind by colonialists—is the legitimate custodian of the state, and their facilitators are the true representatives of the people. 1/2

I see I am here

Ye kaha se aa rahay hain

Every new BC General initiates yet another operation, spending billions and making tall claims, yet the outcome remains the same—zero. 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

We are not invaded but invaders thrown us before their dogs

When terrorists like Ludhianvi of SSP—now ASWJ—who wants to vanish Shia communities are invited to the GHQ & even awarded medals, how can one expect peace in the country?
Note: This is a straightforward question. Don’t derail the conversation by accusing others of being traitors
