There is absolutely no comparison between the allegations against J mazahir naqvi and those against J Esa.

J esa was accused of having hidden wealth in the name of his dependents… His wife came forward and detailed the entire chain of money movement which culminated in the purchase of the properties in the name of his children. She evidenced the means with which she bought those assets. Her assets were at worst irregularly declared…

Pirzada sb, I don’t see how you can say this government, with all its weaknesses, is allowing for the excesses of the establishment and is hence responsible; whilst the significantly stronger PTI government ‘couldn’t stop crimes but didn’t support these horrible acts’…

The ISI would act as the @PTIofficial government’s enforcement arm. It would fulfil @ImranKhanPTI’s desires, from managing judicial decisions right down to calling tv channels and getting reporters fired or news stories taken down. IK would say the media is ‘out of control’..

It is so jarring to see how much harder life is for people just a degree separated from what you are yourself used to in Pakistan. Your supposed love for this country would evaporate instantly if you had to endure what is part and parcel of life for millions of people here. From the Careem driver who doesn’t use his phone to navigate and hides it after accepting every ride because he has had five stolen from him; to the mother who wakes up every day and lights the geyser and fills buckets for her school going children to shower with..

Of all the best stories the boys helped take down, this one deserves to resurface. Not just because the boys today would want it to. Here’s @AribaShahid writing for @Profitpk about the @ARYNEWSOFFICIAL rise & rise with @Salman_ARY. It doesn’t exist anywhere because it was Faized The taking down of this story reminds me of when Faiz Hameed’s brothers promotion disappeared after being reported, with the paper apologising for ever reporting it.

I do not agree with the commentary here, but there are some things which I must share here as to its circumstantial accuracy. This is all conjecture, but it is informed conjecture. And it leads to some interesting conclusions

Firstly, the most definitive proof for me of the genuineness of the audio is the conversation at the end. It is very very believable that Shehbaz sharif was advised against appointing justice baqar as chairman NAB, and advised by the people named at the end.

The dpt speaker in Punjab acted unconstitutionally. His ruling is illegal. But it is premised on an equally bizarre interpretation of the law which the SC gave in May through an opinion it really could have avoided all together, by way of a clearly political question asked of it. Back in May, the SC made defection from party sound like a disease, ignoring arguments about how parties themselves were not internally democratic. At the time, it didn’t distinguish between the party head and the parliamentary party.

Last Sunday, one of our maids turned up to work after a week off due to heatstroke.

Due to the long journey to our house, she arrived quite tired and quickly deteriorated, vomiting frequently and unable to move.

I called the Aman ambulance service on 1021. This service was setup by Arif Naqvi as a welfare initiative and used to cost some money per trip. Subsequently, due to the Aman foundation losing its legs as Naqvi lost his, the service was in limbo.

Until the Sindh government adopted it.

J Mansoor Ali Shah has authored a superbly measured, nuanced and informed judgment concerning the cement factories in the salt ranges of Punjab and their challenge to the govt’s regulatory decision of 2016 disallowing expansion. He addresses the duty of govt to balance the public rights of quality of life with the freedom to conduct business. He does so with a special focus on climate endangerment and the need to govern with future generations in mind, who have the most stake in our decisions today.

When asked about his fav place in isb, Faisal Javed says ‘the banyan tree’ & offers to take the interviewer there.

After parking, he can’t find the path to the promised tree, explains everything has changed & walks around aimlessly.

After much more walking around in circles, he turns around and explains that the banyan tree used to be there years ago when he came to play the guitar under its shade.

Then when the interviewer keeps pointing out that they’re never getting to the tree, he insists on continuing

Asim Bajwa 'rebuts' the story about his assets by saying inter alia:

Admits $70 million family business. Claims 60 million USD are 'bank loans and financial facilities' and his wife's contribution is around 20k USD, whilst the total family contribution is 73,950 USD. Has not offered any documents to back this claim, and neither has he explained what was secured to obtain financial facilities and bank loans which were 811 times more than the invested amount.

About his sons, he says they are employed by their uncles. One of their uncles said:

After @Matiullahjan919’s abduction, i was looking for the @ImranKhanPTI Clip where its either him or the agencies if this happened. I remembered it was a Capital Talk show, so i rifled through some old vids on YouTube. Couldn’t find it, but ended up watching a show from sep 2012: Back when 2012 IK promised Intra party elections and tickets only to those who succeeded, regardless of electability
