I just emailed the Open Letter to SC with signs and comments by more than 2,000 ordinary Pakistanis (in less than a day), clearly showing that #NationStandswithCJP

Below, I'm sharing some of the best comments
(captured perfectly in this📽️ by my great friend @soufiasiddiqi)

A whole day collecting, collating, and anonymising this data & I'm simply amazed just how aware the general public is! From students to academics to workers like drivers, painters & housewives.

I hope judges can see this and take heart that this isn't 1997 anymore.

And finally, the video from my dear friend @soufiasiddiqi captures the essence of the entire 2,000 comments I read through, only a few of which are shared above.

Dear CJP, please defend the constitution.
The nation stands with you.
#NationStandswithCJP

End thread.
I really urge everyone to read at least few of the text in the screenshots above. This is the mood of the nation, they know what's going on, they want their rights, and they will not sit idly until they get them.

Incredibly grounding experience to read from "ordinary" Pakistanis
“آپ سب کے کندھوں میں آئین کی بالادستی کی زمیداری ہے۔اور آپ پکستان کو ایک عزیم ملک بنانے میں ایک اہم کردار ادا کر سکتے ہیں۔ آپ ہماری
امید ہیں، ہمارے حقوق کے محافظ ہیں۔ الله آپ سب کو اپنی حفاظت میں رکھیں۔ آمین”

Respected Judiciary, being a son of an ex Army Officer who served his country with his blood and youth while keeping the Sabz Hilaly above any other possible benefit, I advise you to write your names in gold in the history of our beloved country.

Do what the constitution says and I guarantee you will always be at peace with yourself. We all are dust, Pakistan isn't. Stand with your country and people.

Some more comments from the letter to CJP:

I am honestly amazed by Pakistanis. Make me fall in love with this country once again
This is one of my favourites, if not the favourite. #illsacrificemylifeforpakistangrape
a bit emotional this one, but I am heartened to see that there are still some teachers like this in Pakistan who can do nation building

Informed by local “experts”, one of the narratives used by Western media to explain Pakistani politics is that the 2018 election was gifted to Imran Khan’s PTI by the military.

However, this is false and misleading in light of election data, opinion & exit polls.
Thread 🧵👇
1/n
First, let’s look at results since democratic elections returned in 2008. An examination of voting patterns shows that winning parties received a similar percentage of overall votes in Pakistan’s first-past-the-poll system. However, PTI’s seats-to-vote ratio was much lower.
2/n
The above results show that PTI had to win much higher votes for each seat won. If the results were to be tilted in their favour, they would have won 140 seats at the ratio of 0.83 seats per 100,000 votes as PPP and PMLN did in the preceding 2 elections.

The mysterious manipulation of voter lists (electoral rolls) by Election Commission of 🇵🇰.

On 28th March, ECP published new voter lists with 125.6 million voters. However, this has major differences compared to the "final electoral lists" published in October.

Thread 👇

First, the ECP had published "Final Electoral Lists" for the next General Elections in Oct 2022 after an exercise of more than a year. In those lists, the number of voters were only 122.2 million, 4.6 million less than the "revised" lists published on 28th March.

I wrote a thread about this back then, showing how they excluded mostly young voters between 18-25 and had failed to perform their duty in bridging the gap between male and female voters. In particular, 9 million young women remained unregistered

It’s become necessary to start a podcast where these jokers are challenged and alternate views are presented. 380,000 views where this clown sat and said that whoever isn’t trying to be friends with Modi is an enemy of Pakistan and recommended books by Ayesha Siddiqi and Haqqani Image
This is in ideation phase. I know a few people offered to help before but if you drop me a DM I will definitely set something up for this week to discuss. I think I already have a host in mind
A friend in Europe with very little interest in Pakistani politics just sent this. Propaganda runs deep Image

Maryam Nawaz and PMLN sharing posts of fake accounts to hype up Nawaz Sharif's visit to Saudi.

CNN's @SophiaSaifi is either woefully misinformed or working on an agenda. In her feature length article she fails to mention KP and Punjab elections, which are due on 12 and 18 April as per the constitution, and which the govt. has failed to hold, disenfranchising 140m people
edition.cnn.com/2023/03/31/asi…

Here is the article full of half truths and manipulations.
Completely unbiased "journalist" who thinks PTI supporters are trolls.

Pakistan's govt. and Election Commission are unconstitutionally blocking elections in Punjab and KP provinces beyond the 90 day limit set out in Article 224(2) of the constitution.

#ElectionsIn90Days
#NationStandswithCJP

Here are the facts:
🧵👇
On the 14th and 18th of January, the provincial assemblies of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) provinces in Pakistan were dissolved by the Chief Ministers under Art. 112 of the constitution.
Articles 224(2) mandates that elections within 90 days of dissolution of provincial assemblies. This was reiterated by a decision of the Supreme Court (SC), which directed that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is bound to hold elections within the stipulated time limit.
