There's been a long report on CNN by Becky Anderson just now on how the second of Suu Kyi's people have been found dead in their cells and how the Junta is cracking down on anti-Military reports in the Press/TV Stations and outlets being closed. So what's new for us Pakistanis?2/
2/ How about a report on the hundreds of our disappeared and tortured and beaten and shot to death, over the years? How about journalist Saleem Shahzad whose broken body was dumped in a canal in May 2011 days after we ran into each other in a briefing at the U.S. Embassy, 3/
3/ Islamabad, conducted by a visiting academic? How about Hayat Baloch? How about Idrees Khattak, a Civilian peacenik who is being tried secretly by Army Court Martial? How about the ageing Prof. Ismail who is in a filthy jail cell (after recovering from Covid) on completely 4/
4/ ludicrous charges of terrorism when he and his family have been fighting terror all their lives? Come on, @CNN@cnni have a heart!! Indeed, how about the Chief Editor of Pakistan's largest media group being locked up for ten months in a filthy cell on spurious charges
5/ before he was released?! Have a heart @CNN@cnni !!!!

THEY may go on for a while, but are very badly exposed as the courageous @MaryamNSharif and her good father are pointing out. The country is almost penniless; the poor are starving; law and order is worsening; and Afghanistan is about to blow up. Time for a FAIR election 2/
2/ under the Constitution with a new Social Contract which transfers real power to the representatives of the people, not those forklifted into power by Political Generals. In India the Services Chiefs wait to see the Defence Minister, here #MasterTeeliCharsi@PervezKhattakPK 3/
3/ our so-called 'Defence Minister' stands on the COAS's left! Which reminds me: perhaps it IS time for @OfficialDGISPR to ask the question: 'Why don't Indians criticise their Army Chief/RAW'? WHY? Why doesn't @adgpi the Indian DGISPR sic a retired Lt. Gen. on to, say, 4/
What in the World is @OfficialDGISPR playing at here, Mariana? As I said just yesterday, referring to @meherbokhari 's pathetic defence of #nikkaNiazi aka @ImranKhanPTI Re: the #DaskaDisgrace, it really hurts when our Rulers take us for amebae; or Slime Mould: brainless 2/
2/ life-forms, like, say, #Youthiyas! I mean don't we KNOW that the terrorist Ehsanullah Ehsan was ALLOWED to escape along with his wife and children from a safehouse in Peshawar belonging to Lumber One Intelligence Agency, the #ISI a whole year ago? 3/
3/ And that two days after his 'daring escape', the murderer of 140 of OUR children, most from soldier's or airmen's families and some from Bloody Civilian families and two teachers, one of them the wife of a serving Colonel (who was burnt to death in a toilet!) announced 4/
So, NAB is locking up opposition leaders since this #SelectedGoof was #RIGGED into office; Rana Sanaullah was arrested by ANF on NO charge; Shehbaz and Hamza Sharif are locked up since years but this innocent knows nothing? Who mimicked Bilawal in the NA? Who announced in the 2/
2/ U.S. whilst stroking his imaginary beard: 'Abhi Dekhna mein wapis Pakistan ja keh kaisey nikalwata hoon Nawaz Sharif ka jail mein A/C' when it is allowed in the Jail manual, and which was not even removed from my great Uncle Sirdar Shaukat Hyat's cell when he was locked up 3/
3/ by the fearsome tyrant Nawab Kalabagh? Who sicced his and @ArifAlvi 's foulmouthed Youthiyas to harass @MaryamNSharif?
Seriously Ms. Bokhari, one had thought that the Salman Taseer tragedy had reformed you. To use your own favourite term, we thought we had 'No worries'. It 4/
So, @nayadaurpk and my friends @murtazasolangi and @Razarumi, are you good people NOT pushing the GOP to acknowledge the help the Cuban Henry Reeve Brigade extended to us after the horrible earthquake of 2015 by joining South Africa in nominating it for the 2021 Peace Prize? 2/
2/ Since we are the only country to which such a large number of medical personnel were sent by Cuba our voice should and will be heard by the Nobel Committee. We could dig out film footage of that time from our archives and put it out through you. PLEASE!!!!! We owe brave Cuba!
3/ Thank you dear Taqi God bless you. We must UNDERSTAND too that we never had close and warm relations with Cuba such as Egypt and Indonesia and India. We were dancing around the Baghdad Pact and CENTO and SEATO when Cuba was emerging as a voice for the Non Aligned Movement 4/
Right! Dear Friends and Enemies! Enough of this 63-year old (I have minused 11 years of independence before the first of the Army dictators showed his ugly face in 1958) charade. I hereby propose that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan be renamed the Islamic Shogunate of Pakistan2/
2/ For just like ancient Japan the Army Commander-in-Chief in Pakistan wields all of the power, the Emperor, in this case #nikkaNiazi@ImranKhanPTI sits in his gilded palace with his courtiers and is paid obeisance by our Shogun, Bajwa and his top 'bakufu', Faiz, whenever 3/
4/ Let us continue to list the great successes of 'the most "get things done" intel chief in perhaps a generation' according to Master-Centrist Mosharaf Zaidi: Faiz certainly brought to a fine art, methods to harass an Honourable and Honest judge of the Honourable the 5/
5/ Supreme Court My Lord Faez Isa: from pressuring junior officials of the FBR to force his ailing wife to appear before them; by disgracing him by pasting Call-up notices at his residence's gate(!); by engineering salacious lies about the good judge and his family in the ISI 6/
6/ paid media through #Guttersnipe such as @MoeedNj; and most lately by ensuring that the Court would censure the good Judge instead of the crooked #nikkaNiazi who was caught red-handed distributing 50 Crore among each Parliamentarian for the Senate elections! More later, 7/
