What on earth is this? 'Amen' has nothing to do with 'men'
This is like saying 'womental illness' and thinking its a victory for gender rights
I am full of disappointwoment at this
THough I must say it's quite an accomplishwoment
Please stop me
From making any more puns like the aforewomentioned ones

Just heard the most horrific stories on @ZaraHatKay_Dawn from advocate Asiya Minur who has been fighting for rape victims in court for last 14 years. I feel cick just hearing the stories...of police saying 'Aap maaf kar dain, Allah hisaab lai ga' to judges leering at victims and
actually telling them in chambers that it is better to compromise. Of a little girl repeatedly raped by her close relative to the point that she lost her eye and bnroke her arm...and family made her forgive him so that relations would not be disturbed. And so much more.
The fact is, that these people then go back into society and rape again. Because they know they will not be punished. And our society enables this. Encourages it. THIS is what is known as Rape Culture.

Its funny how it works: repress and create dissent. Go after dissenters hard and you end up creating more dissenters and radicalising others, and then in reaction you crack down more and more in ridiculous ways. Best part is the cycle can continue indefinitely.
Until, eventually, there is no longer a contract between state and citizen. And that, boys and girls, is when things get really bad.
But you're too arrogant. Too stupid to see that.

The implementation of Article 140-A is crucial to the future of Pakistan. It states: "140A. Local Government. - (1) Each Province shall, by law, establish a local government system and devolve political, administrative and financial responsibility and authority to the
elected representatives of the local governments." Now there are issues of political will here and so, though am not a fan of judicial activism, here unfortunately the SC may well have to step in on the pending petition of Waseem Akhtar. And if, for example, Punjab implements it
It will add to the pressure on other provinces. Devolution of power to provincial level was a good start, in accordance with the letter of the 18th Amendment. However, the spirit of 18thA demands further devolution, and so does good governance. This should not be controversial.

Comparing the two JIT reports on Uzair Baloch is quite interesting. There is the one, with 6 signatures, uploaded on govt site. Then there is the one with 4 signatures (clearly an earlier version) missing the signs of SSP special branch and SSP ops CTD. The most glaring diff
In both is that the 4 sign one has a section on political affiliations in which Zulfiqar Mirza and Tappi are named, as well as a mention of Asif Ali Zardari. Another section that does NOT appear in the final JIT report is the one that details the nexus with police. In the final
report, this is reduced to 2 points, as opposed to the 'earlier' JIT report. Section 14 of previous report is also trimmed down, the one that relates to ethnic killings, where the 'on direction of PPP leadership is missing.' Now, thing is that one can argue back and forth as to

I'm going to tweet excerpts from a NYT story that has made my blood boil. It's about how AMericanm farmers are destroying crops because it is now unprofitable to export them. In Wisconsin and Ohio, farmers are dumping thousands of gallons of fresh milk into lagoons
and manure pits. An Idaho farmer has dug huge ditches to bury 1 million pounds of onions. And in South Florida, a region that supplies much of the Eastern half of the United States with produce, tractors are plowing perfectly ripe vegetables back into the soil.
The closing of restaurants, hotels and schools has left some farmers with no buyers for more than half their crops. And even as retailers see spikes in food sales to Americans who are now eating nearly every meal at home, the increases are not enough to absorb all of the

Govts have run soup kitchens in the past (in the us) - or rather have provided support to soup kitchens as in the depression. Not sure how one can support the bisp (and i do) and in the same breath mock govt supported langars (its partnership with saylani).
Of course the prime job of govt here should be to provide jobs but the kind of attacks being made and mockery of the langar program is uncalled for.
Try not to hate so much that you lose all perspective. You just end up looking silly.
