Why is it that we #Pakistanis become so beholden to mere mortals? Every hero we have had, has disappointed us, yet we keep repeating the same pattern over and over again, expecting different results. #Bhutto was once a messiah for West Pakistanis. They loved him so much 1/n
that in the 1970 elections Awami League didn't win a single seat in West #Pakistan. How did that love affair turn out? A broken country and despotic civilian dictator who runied all economic progress of the 60s, the affects of which we still suffer from. 2/n
Then there emerged an entire section of society which still thinks Zia was mard-e-momin. Smh. Next BB, then Nawaz. Bloodly hell still Nawaz! Then his daughter. FFS. Still can't blv how Iftikhar Ch became an overnight hero. Abdul Qadir Khan, nuclear weapons smuggler. 3/n
Since a few days have passed and thing have "relatively" calmed down, I want to comment on the optics of bringing out APCs in #Lahore Cantt. You all have seen the images go viral on this platform, and some were rightly outraged. 1/n 
However, this isn't the first time #PakistanArmy brought out APCs against protesting public. Many years ago, there was a dispute between farmers and the Army over some land in #Okara. That's when this image was shot. For me, personally, it became of the most defining images 2/n
of how the Army behaves in the country. My shock stemmed from the fact that my father commanded 40 AK, which is equipped with TOW mounted APCs for hunting enemy tanks. How could the Army bring out APCs - which are essentially troop carriers - mounted with machine 3/n

Basing KP, #IK is evaporating PTI in #Punjab.
1. #IK continues to stay in KP & his convention was attended by 300 workers showing as if he becomes a Wali Khan (of ANP).
2. Basing KP 4 his political activities is by default evaporating Punjabi voters in Punjab.

3. Punjabi voters can never accept a Pashtun Khan from KP as their leader, which he is NOT.
4. Yet keeping focused in KP and remaining in Peshawar, IK has created doubts among Punjabi voters. #PMLN is cashing in on saying:".....

... he was only bringing some supporters from a province ie #KP".
5. He already alienated #Punjabi Bureaucracy through Azam Khan who was supporting ethnic Pashtun/KP bureaucracy. Major postings in Punjab, #JB & even #AJK belonged 2 KP province. END

As the dust settles on the civilian coup here are a few key takeaways: 1) #IK has lost morally and politically. the #Opposition wanted the #selectedPM out and new elections, and this will happen. #IK dragged his feet but eventually this has been the result. 1/n
2) Beyond politics, #IK has now clearly undermined the #Constitution, the Supreme National Institution. Article 95 is a self contained provision, which gives the #Speaker no power once leave has been granted for #VoNC. A vote has to be done, no matter what. 2/n
3) Article 69 is about matters of procedure in Legislature and doesn't apply if the Speaker decides to throw out the Constitution itself. Imagine if the Speaker decides to not count the votes of Women or non-Muslim MNAs? Would that be allowed by the SC. 3/n
آج الیکشن کمشن کا وہ 4 رکنی بنچ جو یوسف رضا گیلانی کی جیت کا نوٹیفیکیشن نہ جاری کرنےکی حکومتی درخواست پر سماعت کر رہاتھا، اسے اول تو خریدوفروخت کا ہونا ثابت کرنےوالی ویڈیوز کا سینیٹ الیکشن سےکوئی تعلق ہی نہیں ملا دوسرے وہ @ECP_Pakistan جسے 8 روز پہلے ہی سپریم کورٹ نے کہا تھا

قابل سماعت بنانی ہے تو اس میں پیسوں کے عوض یوسف رضا گیلانی کو ووٹ دینے والے یا پیسوں کے عوض اپنے ووٹ ضائع کرنے والے 16 افراد کے خلاف کاروائی کرنے کا بھی لکھیں اور ان 16 افراد کے نام اور پیسے لینے کے ثبوت بھی دیں

تفصیلات کچھ یوں ہیں کہ سعودی عرب کا امریکہ میں واحد سہارا ٹرمپ ہی تھا جو محمد بن سلمان کے ہر جائز ناجائز میں اس کا ساتھ دے رہا تھا۔ ٹرمپ کے جاتے ہی آنے والے نئے امریکی صدر نے MBS کے خلاف جمال خشوگجی کے قتل کا معاملہ تو اٹھایا ہی تھا، اوپر سے نئی کاروائی یہ ہوئی کہ

Unclear as to what the government is attempting to achieve.
If the Indian govt doesn’t wish to avail the appeal for their own citizen, even after approaching the @ICJ_org, it is not Pakistan’s problem.

If the #IK led govt wishes to pardon a spy, responsible for hundreds of deaths and kidnappings in Pakistan, they should really stop beating the #PPP over #uzairbaloch, being that he also took funds and direction from #KJ.
But if they choose to take this decision, they should resign for embarrassing #Pakistan internationally.
