“Calling an animal and
having it come, planting something and having it grow, become essential. It is proof that I exist.” #BenazirBhutto :)

These were few of my fav photos of her :)
Oh and my most fav. Saw it first on @NadeemfParacha ‘s facebook and his post said “defiant till the end” and that’s #BenazirBhutto
I have learnt everything in my life from her&my father who was as passionately a bhutto fan as I am a BB fan…I remember his pain whenever she’d be dismissed & I remember his excitement every time she’d come on tv or make a speech. So I can’t not think of him when I think of her

ISI was the brainchild of the former British Indian Army major general Robert Cawthome basically for Kashmir but also NWFP. Initially it was supposed to have no role in the collection of internal intelligence, except for NWFP 🤷🏽♀️ and Pak Administered Kashmir until 1958 coup …
Ayub khan (someone’s fav) brought all national intelligence agencies under the direct control of the president and Chief Martial Law Administrator. Basically himself. Hence any criticism of his regime was seen as a threat to national security. Sounds familiar?
Then Zia ul haq being himself expanded the ISI to collect the intelligence on the Pakistan Communist Party and Pakistan Peoples Party 🤷🏽♀️ and received a lot of training to do that thanks to US and soviet war.
1st Army generals selected IK by taking over media & rigging elections.
Then his govt ruled like dictators & made records of fascism in Pakistan. Brought country to poverty & unemployment, embarrassment & celebrated taliban terrorists take over in Afghanistan .
Then PDM formed.
Then he was ousted out through parliament with vote of no confidence tht IK cheated to not let happen and abrogating constitution which was save in the last 5 mins.
IK’s cultists first said IK was ousted because he visited Russia at a time when Russia started bombing Ukraine.
Then said he was ousted cuz he said Absolutely Not to a question by journalist if he’ll allow US 2 use Pak’s airspace. Note tht IK has previously said he will never join politics, he will make libraries&unis frm govt buildings & his marriage with reham stories were exaggerated.
To counter IK’s violent,dubious,fascist & brainless narrative .. the govt shouldn’t attack Imran Khan but rather spend resources on massive campaigns educating youth on the struggles of politicians 4 democracy, on the worth of constitution&human rights,child rights & women rights
I am afraid the current govt won’t be able 2 do it & instead continue putting banners with their photos with no meaningful message all over capital. They won’t do it cause most of IK’s narrative has been army’s narrative & govt is not ready to confront the required confrontation.
Parliament is supreme & PDM fought 4 its power not just recently but has been fighting for it for decades & now that they r in power , they r not making use of it. The ppl will help the current govt if the govt shows the required sincerity&we r seeing selective governance already
