Asad Umar has given a very practical way forward to PTI. I completely agree with what Asad said & why he said.

While mobs in PTI hv already started abusing him, you should watch his full interview before. There is no other way out for PTI in this situation. When you're in a defensive position, you don't just keep digging and taking yourself down deep further.

You take a step back, re-evaluate your strategy &come up with new strategy. This is what Asad has said.

Pakistan issuing passports to Rohinga Muslims in Saudi Arabia: Is this some grand conspiracy? NOPE.

Many people angling it to fit their own political biases & narratives. Let's do a quick factcheck: 🇵🇰🧵🇸🇦 In 2012, Pakistan issued passports to 250,000 Rohinga Muslims on request of Saudi govt.

These Rohingas lived in Saudi Arabia but were "stateless". Issuing them the Pakistani passports made their stay in KSA legal & enabled them to get jobs etc.

This happens you force religion on ur people. Eventually, they get tired of it. Mind it, Iran has the highest number of atheists among Islamic countries.

Iranian Mullah regime is using religion as tool to keep control, but is pushing youth away from religion in process.

Morocco has no strict religious laws like Iran. Instead, it has bars, clubs & doesn't force people to follow religion.

However, its is building more mosques bec more ppl have now started going to mosques, by their own will, not by force. This is how a country should be.

Lot of accounts belonging to different political parties are sharing personal information of people on twitter.

Twitter takes this offence seriously. A simple report can easily trigger twitter mechanism to flag that account. Here is how to report them: 🧵 1) Click on the three-dot icon (•••) located at the top of the tweet and
select "Report Tweet"

Imran Khan is an existential threat to many interest groups in Pakistan and their monopolies:

He has destroyed Khaki's monopoly on nationalism, Mullah's monopoly on religion, PMLN's monopoly on civilian supremacy & media's on narrative.

This is THE problem. Rest is NOISE. He has also ended liberals' monopoly on "defending human rights". Never have they been this exposed before.

In this god-forsaken country, you get picked up or even killed for sending a mean tweet about a govt official.

But you can call Jinnah a pedophile, disrespect the Prophet & nobody can touch you, if you have got right friends, at the right places. Truly a wasteland. A random politician or a grade 22 official yields more respect than the founder of this nation.

If have the right friends on social media to defend you, (across party divides), you can also double down on disrespecting the prophet & make a victory sign.

Memogate Scandal: a sizzling saga of treachery and betrayal and ugly power struggles in Pakistani power corridors.

Let's take you on a rollercoaster ride of the 2011 high-stake scandal, exposing the treacherous nature of 🇵🇰 politics. Year is 2011. US conducts a convert operation in Pakistan, resulting in the death of Alqaida leader Bin laden in Abbotabbad.

The relations between 🇵🇰 & US were already touching new lows in 2011, but this raid turned them really ugly.

Now that one alleged audio leak is out, here is my OSINT report about its origin and what can be its implications.

Let's go back to 20th August.

A user "indishell" posted on a hacking forum that he has access to the leaked data of Pakistan PM Office. This user has no prior history on this hacking forum. It looks like he created this account just to post about these leaks.

Two threads, 16 posts - all about this alleged data leak in the PM office.

Absar Alam sb is concerned about a India based Human Rights NGO handle tweeting about arrests of PTI leaders.

Let's find out how Absar Alam and his comrades got 'support' from a dummy pro Israel NGO. -thread- [must read LAST tweets] This is UN Watch. This "NGO" monitors United Nations, but much more than it, it lobbies for Israel in United Nations.

This may sound ironic but this is probably only "Human Rights" group that fiercely defends the apartheid state of Israel.

People mocking tiktokers meeting Imran Khan have really no idea of the unprecedented "reach" of tiktok in Pakistan.

Unlike Twitter "influencers", these tiktokers have millions of followers from that part of our society who do not use 'elitist' apps like Twitter or Instagram. These tiktokers, no matter how much cringy you think they are, get millions of eyeballs, likes & shares for every video.

For example, these two tiktok 👫 have almost 40M+ following. It is almost double than twitter following of Imran Khan & Maryam Nawaz combined.

As Pakistan lands into an economic mess, there are reports of increase in mobile & wallet snatchings. Few tips to wade through this situation:

━☆ Never resist an armed robber. Your life is more valuable than mobile, wallet or money. When you buy a phone, always note its IMEI numbers & keep it at a safe place in your home.

When your phone is snatched, you will need this to track your phone or at least get it blocked by PTA.

━☆ You can check your phone IMEI numbers by dialling *#06#. Note both IMEIs.

How 'disinformation network' works:

■ A Greek twitter account, with 90% Indian followers, posts fake news about FATF . It has a history of tweeting against Pakistan, Turkey & China.

■ Indian ANI, propaganda arm of Indian establishment, publishes it as "news". ■ ANI feed is published on all major Indian news websites, all copy-pasting ANI verbatim.

■ In Pakistan, likes of Gul Bukhari, Goraya, Ayesha Siddique etc amplify the fake news by RTing it.

➜ So far, this is not unexpected - all usual suspects & known propagandists.
