تھریڈ- سیاسی ٹرینڈ 1. آرمی چیف کی تعیناتی معمول کے مطابق ہونے کے بعد تحریک انصاف کی مزاحمتی سیاست ماند پڑ جائے گی۔ خان صاحب کی ٹھنڈی میٹھی تقاریر نے اس کا عندیہ دینا شروع کر دیا ہے۔ مگر خان صاحب کا یہ یو ٹرن پھیکا ہے کیونکہ اس کے عوض ان کو نہ الیکشن ملا نہ سلیکشن #سیاسی_ٹرینڈ
2۔ حکومت کے اعتماد میں اضافہ ہوا ہے اور اس کے اثرات واضح طور پر نظر آنا شروع ہو گئے ہیں ۔ سات مہینے کی "بحرانی" سیاست اب معمول کی سیاست میں تبدیل ہو گی اور تمام جماعتیں اس حقیقت کو تسلیم کرنے پر مجبور ہوں گی کہ اب مقابلہ الیکشن میں ہو گا جو اپنے وقت پر ہو گے #سیاسی_ٹرینڈ
3۔ حکومت اور تحریک انصاف میں مذاکرات کا عمل بھی شروع ہو سکتا ہے۔ حکومت آفر کر سکتی ہے کہ خان صاحب کی جماعت قومی اسمبلی میں واپس آئے اور مل کر انتخابی اصلاحات کی جائیں جن کی بنیاد پر الیکشن صاف اور شفاف ہوں #سیاسی_ٹرینڈ
4. تحریک انصاف کا پیدا کردہ سیاسی عدم استحکام اب اپنی آخری سانسیں لے رہا ہی، اور اس کی جگہ نارمل صورتحال جنم لے رہی ہے۔ اس میں ملک کا فایدہ ہے۔ خان صاحب نے سیاسی جوا کھیلا اور ہار گئے ۔ ان کی ہار شاید پاکستان کی جیت ہے۔ اس لیے انہیں برا نہیں منانا چاہیے #سیاسی_ٹرینڈ

THREAD: Let me tell you my personal experience of how alleged journalists, party spokesmen & a news channel peddle lies to stitch together a 'narrative'. The facts I am writing will shock you - should shock you - if you are a believer in the power & sacredness of truth 1/21
For months these people have been crying hoarse over a supposed ' Strategic Media Cell' that they say I run. I'm glad they're feeling the heat of effective communication, but I'm sorry to disappoint them: there is no such media cell. Never has been. None & never. It's a lie 2/21
It's not just a lie, it is an indictment of all those who have adopted lying as a political ideology. This explains why lying is now ingrained in the methodology of these alleged journalists, their channel and the leadership of the party they work for. Let me tell you more 3/21
THREAD: An emotionally drenched environment is not conducive to rationality driven solutions. The unprecedented press conference by DG ISI & @OfficialDGISPR may be the first step in swinging our emotional pendulum back to the centre. It was needed to sift fact from fiction 1/13
But why was it warranted now? In the noise & dust of daily political battles, truth was being pulverised by an ascendant wave of lies. So-called "Cypher Conspiracy" had been called out as a lie as early as the first NSC mtg after @ImranKhanPTI had conjured up the fable 2/13
The military leadership had made it crystal clear in that mtg there was zero evidence of a foreign conspiracy in the cypher. In the seven months since, it has been established without a shadow of doubt that the @PTIofficial leadership - one to all - was lying 3/13
Try reconcile the following: 1. The #KarachiJalsaPTI was massive 2. After ouster @ImranKhanPTI is drawing huge & charged crowds 3. IK has ignited core base & is riding a wave 4. This despite his disastrous performance as PM 5. Flawed conspiracy mantra still on #KarachiJalsa 1/7
6. There is no conspiracy. IK entire narrative has no basis 7. Pak state apparatus has debunked conspiracy for good reason: zero evidence. 8. IK new narrative riding on something that does not exist 9. Yet millions believe the falsity because he says so #KarachiJalsa 2/7
10. They believe so even when in other things they would base their opinion on rationality & evidence. Yet, when it comes to IK, no evidence needed. Even when none exists 11. Educated, informed & 'enlightened' citizens r willing to condone violence & constitutional violation
3/7
1) The heart-wrenching tragedy of more than 20 citizens freezing to death on the road to Murree is a direct result of criminal incompetence by federal, Punjab & KP govts. Shocking dereliction of duty & coordination. These deaths were avoidable #Murree (1/5)
2) The tweet by PM Imran Khan has added insult to injury. By blaming people and saying govt was caught "unawares" boggles the mind with its sheer insensitivity & callousness. What the govt has done is unpardonable & how it's reacting is equally worse #Murree (2/5)
3) Children, women & men froze to death less than an hour from the federal capital. Visualize the absolute horror of what they went through. Imagine the unbearable agony they suffered. An hour from the seat of govt. Unforgivable #Murree (3/5)
The #COVIDー19 situation has reached a dangerous level. It could easily spiral out of control. Time to stop treating it as political football & start tackling it for what it really is: a public health emergency. But how? Here are specific suggestions for our leadership...(1/20)
'Lockdown vs No Lockdown' debate has needlessly become a partisan hot potato. It should not be. PTI govt pursued a policy it thought best. No one in the world knew what the right policy was. What PTI govt did was its right. That's done. Let us move on. How? #COVIDー19 (2/20)
It is clear #COVIDー19 is not a partisan issue. It requires collective ownership so decisions are taken not for political one-upmanship but for safety of citizens. For this to happen, all political parties need to take a deep breath, calm down and take one step back. (3/20)
WHO letter to all Pakistani govts provides a good opportunity for us to review our strategy on #COVIDー19. As situation worsens, it is imp for us to change course if needed for public health reasons, not political ones. Here's what WHO letter says (from @dawn_com report): (1/7)
WHO has said Pakistan has been ranked among the top 10 countries in the world reporting highest number of new cases of Covid-19 & advised the government to enhance daily testing capacity to 50,000 to assess the actual prevalence of coronavirus across the country #COVIDー19 (2/7)
While expressing concern over the hasty lifting of restrictions, the WHO in a letter to the four provinces stated Pakistan did not meet any of the prerequisites for opening of the lockdown #COVIDー19 (3/7)
