Thread examining the series of tweets made recently by @RanaSanaullahPK
In the first tweet he terms PTI “a so-called political party”. PTI is a bonafide party. It was the party in power till it was removed by a conspiracy involving ALL others joining together, buying MPs etc. 1/
Even then the PDM government is hanging on by a thinnest of threads. It’s laughable that he calls PTI a so-called party while his party had elected Chief Minister Punjab in a hotel rather than the assembly, an election which has been declared null and void! Throughout the 2/
...series of tweets he uses mental health slurs against Imran Khan and his supporters. This type of language is abhorrent. Mental health issues mustn’t be used thus way. You wouldn’t falsely claim that your opponent is diabetic so why claim they have mental health issues. It 3/
...is time we stopped using mental health slurs. There’s enough societal stigma about these conditions without politicians adding to it. Just. Stop. It. He then goes on to compare supporters of Imran Khan to animals. Sir, you’re in government (albeit an imported, imposed one) 4/
...and as such it’s your duty to treat each and every Pakistani, even those supporting PTI, with respect. Rana encourages people to make videos of PTI supporters who use their democratic right to protest and upload to social media and send to agencies. He then issued threats. 5/
He says cases will be registered against these supporters, their ID cards and passports will be blocked. He shamelessly quotes freedom of movement while threatening to curtail freedom of speech and peaceful protest. In all of this he has forgotten what happened in Model Town. 6/
People murdered in cold blood then (when his party was in power) are still to get justice. If he only he can use half the energy to prosecute the murderers as he does to go after Imran’s supporters then there’s a chance justice will be done. The only way to guarantee freedoms 7/
...which Pakistanis should enjoy such as freedom of movement, speech, peaceful protest, to vote for whoever you want without being threatened by the state is to vote for PTI & democratically remove the #FacistImportedGovernment#VoteOnJuly17 & bring back PTI and become free 8/8
