15 yrs after her assassination, today, 27 Dec 2007, I want to come clean on the organized smear campaign that intensified in the lead up to #BenazirBhutto's murder, a campaign in which I inadvertently joined. Which is why she was going to see me at 10 pm that night. /1
I received a call from Dr Asif Khan, #BenazirBhutto's quiet operator in #Islamabad and a friend to ex-PM @RPAPPP around 4 pm to reconfirm a meeting with her at Bilawal House. I was at state-run PTV, in a suit, making cuts to my weekly show, ready to leave for the meet at 10 pm./2
I was in the editing room at around 6:30 pm when a media liaison offcr frm Pres #Musharraf's office dropped by, opened door, & said, 'Did you hear? My info from a source at hospital confirms she's dead.' There was silence. He left. I checked the time, thought about my meeting. /3

In an unexpected electoral setback which is shocking, even by #Pakistan's turbulent standards, cricketer-turned-prime minister #ImranKhan faces a crucial #VoteOfConfidence.

Here's a look at @ImranKhanPTI's political career, spanning over two decades.
Propelled by his celebrity & supported by his (now former) wife @Jemima_Khan, Khan's early political career saw him adopt the role of international activist. Here, in 1997, he's on a tour of South Africa with then-President Nelson Mandela.
Philanthropy would form the basis of his politics. The Shaukat Khanum, Pakistan's first cancer research hospital, would be inspired by his mother's demise & become his showcase for organizational change. Months before her own death in 1997, Princess Diana would help raise funds.

Can't forget the day when #BenazirBhutto was assassinated. I was studying at LUMS & was serving as General Secretary (GS) of Law & Politics Society (LPS). LPS had invited BB to deliver a talk on the future of democracy in Pakistan, which was scheduled in first week of Jan, 2008.
The overall context of the talk was important. Pakistan had recently been subjected to emergency rule by Gen. Musharraf, the Lawyers Movement was raging and the 2008 Elections were just around the corner. BB had returned from self exile & was leading a spirited election campaign.
As GS of LPS I was busy overseeing preparations for the event along with my colleagues. Necessary permissions had been obtained, venue had been booked, emails had been sent out to the student body, banners/posters had been printed which were soon to be affixed across the campus.

Whether it is a former president of Islamic Republic of Pakistan or the current CCPO of the capital of Pakistan’s largest province, the mindset of our male dominated society hasn’t changed in the last four decades.

“You must understand the environment in Pakistan … This has become a money-making concern. A lot of people say if you want to go abroad and get a visa for Canada or citizenship and be a millionaire, get yourself #raped.”

~President Musharraf
From #BenazirBhutto to #AsmaJahangir to #MukhtarMai and thousands of unnamed #women made it possible to force the successive parliaments to make changes in Hudood Ordinance. Whatever rights they have now, because of their own struggle.

For the attention of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari

A large part of #Karachi does not come under municipal jurisdiction. Almost a third of it falls under the cantonment boards and the Defence Housing Authority.
No one knows exactly how many people live in the city. With the constant inflow of economic migrants, the city’s population increases every year.

Two mistakes:

1) When you blame the military for every vice & problem in #Pakistan, you are hands down the worst analyst/political commentator in the world.

It’s like you don’t know abt the corruption & extra-judicial killings of the 80s & 90s.
During the 80s & 90s, #journalists, #police, & #bureaucrats were bought and sold at the behest of #NawazSharif & #BenazirBhutto.

#ShehbazSharif maintained his own killing squad to take out political rivals.

What rank in the military did they hold?
During the 80s & 90s, judges were removed because the political leadership didn’t like their decisions.

CJP Sajjad Ali Shah was removed, even though he asked the military to help him. #PMLN stormed the #SupremeCourt.

Which General ordered this?
