Thread by @KiyyaBaloch

1- Thread in response to Hamna Malik of #VOB

I read Hamna's Twitter thread multiple times. I understood that all she did was she tried to prove herself innocent, gain sympathy, and lay the blame for all the wrongdoings on Aamna Khaloon and previous management.

2- She wrote: "I get to bear the brunt most of the time but [because] of mere confusion. I'm not responsible for previous management."

Does that mean she agrees previous management has been involved in unfair practices?

3- Still, my questions remain the same!
What exactly is your organization? Are you an NGO/Newspaper or magazine?
Without registration until March 2021, how did your org receive funds from the @dpr_gob ?
If you are clean and haven't been involved in the misuse of public money,

4- Why did NAB launch an inquiry?
Since 2016 how much money has your organization received from GOB, and where was that spent?
Is your org cleared from the NAB now?

5- She claims the [so-called evidence] I have brought in the public notice has been taken from VOB's website. I haven't seen letters written to VOB Patron in Chief by Social Welfare Dept and NAB on their website. If they are available on VOB WEB, kindly point me.

She referenced one of @Chiltan's tweets, which she could better answer. Still, she deliberately didn't attach the screenshot of Salma's second tweet in response to her first tweet, which means that take what is in your interest and hide the ones that challenge your narrative.

7- She has attached one of my Tweets screenshots related to Shari, which has nothing to do with the current case we are talking about. Still, I can tell you that such mistakes are common in media, especially when working in a remote, controlled, and conflict zone.

8- Sometimes, we get the facts wrong as we try to get them right. It's common.

Papers such as the Guardian published around 3,000 items in the corrections and clarifications column in print and online in 2012. Not an issue. And I am never ashamed of posting corrections.

9- You claimed I was pressurized or intimidated to pull down that tweet. That is incorrect. I always speak my mind and have never been afraid of challenging Baloch separatist militants even. The problem is that you don't read/study. All you do is look at Twitter.

10- So better you look at my tweets where I have challenged militant leaders. And I am constantly accused by your troll brigade of glorifying Baloch militants. We criticize & question without fear where we feel it is necessary. I have been trolled by Baloch activists for that too

11- In another tweet which again has nothing to do with the current subject re- VOB corruption we are talking about, she says I have falsely accused a troll who is her friend. My point is that sometimes we must come to your level to give you befitting replies.

She and her friend falsely accused me of borrowing money from friends. When I came to their level, they were offended. Otherwise, I have no issue with who runs that Dukhtar -E Balochistan account, be Ammara or Sameen Zainab.

13- She claims her recruitment was based on merit. She shares a few screenshots of the vacancies advertised by VOB, which nowhere said there was a vacant position for the post of Project manager. She joined VOB as its project manager in Feb 2021,

14- The screenshot of the vacant posts she shared was announced in Nov 2018, May 21. after she had joined as Project manager, and Dec 2020, when there was no position for Project manager. So, the question is, how were you promoted to this position, and on what grounds?

15- Since your org collaborates with the govt of #Balochistan thus, you have to follow the provincial and Press Information Department [PID] guidelines for advertisement. Per the rules, your website must have 100,000 minimum visits per month for online ads/announcements.

16- My question is: Does your organization's website have that? As per the rules, for semi-govt autonomous bodies, such ads/announcements be made via local press. She also speaks a lot about VOB's duties and works. I think we all know what VOB has been doing.

17- There is no need for justification. We wanted to know who finances VOB, why, and how? And do your employees receive their salaries via banks, or it's given to them in cash? Through which channel?

18- Since VOB runs on taxpayer money thus, they are answerable to the public. We want to know why arranging a tour of Punjab-based youth was needed on Balochistan's public money? And why a tour for them in Karachi? What was achieved out of it?

19- I must clarify that we have no personal enmity or grudges with you. I have told you repeatedly that you are as much Balochistani as Anwar ul Haq Sahib or I am. I never used the word settler for you, even though you have been calling me a BLA apologist, attacking me personally

20- Also, you have been distributing ghadaris certificates. I never personally attacked you but have advised you on many occasions to refrain from lying and propaganda.

Still, the q remains the same you are the face of this organization. Where the money comes from and how>

So, we ask you again between Dec 2016 & Oct 2021; VOB organized 14 luxury trips apparently for the youth of Balochistan and sometimes brought youngsters from Punjab and organized luxury trips for them in Karachi and Balochistan. Who finance these trips? What was THE purpose?

22- As you stated, you are not an NGO. So what are you? Are you an online magazine? If yes, are you registered with PID/DGPR or the relevant authorities? Are you ABC certified? If not, how do you get granted aid from the @dpr_gob ?

23- Let's suppose you are a digital platform or are a magazine. Name any magazine/media outlet that organizes such expensive seminars, events for the youth, and luxury trips?
It is still unclear to many what you are and why you failed to register your org for more than five y?

24- Without registration, how do you receive money, and from whom? Again, asking you, are you a registered organization now? If yes, when did that happen? Thank you!

25- One last! She claims my family enjoys the perks and privileges of the state. It's untrue! I'm not particularly eager to talk about my family, but we used to be an ordinary middle-class family. My parents provided us with the best education they could. We went to govt schools.

26- I have family members in education, bureaucracy, and judiciary today. They reached there through clearing PCS and BHC tests, not by licking a brigadier boot. I can proudly say my family is among Kech’s most well-educated families 2day. We are known for our hard work & efforts

27- Re-my security: The threats have followed me even in Europe, my family has faced harassment & she wants me to return to PK. All I can say is when the country's current Prime Minister cannot protect his brother, who lives in exile in London, can you expect that from my family?
