    Despite ongoing protest of human rights defenders and politicians from aggrieved provinces, #EnforcedDisappearances have increased in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Gilgit-Baltistan and even in Pak administered Kashmir. This #thread will compile the cases. End impunity.

    Throughout his speech PM @narendramodi spoke of India - the nation and the country. No mention of his BJP or his political opposition in India. In stark contrast to PM @ImranKhanPTI who had nothing to say in DC last month except venom and vitriol against his opposition back home.

    The fact that DG ISI had to join @OfficialDGISPR in a houseful of a presser to defend their institution proves how effective Imran Khan’s pressure tactics have been. No other politician would ever creep under generals’ skin like this. Next we might hear he has been arrested.

    With the numbers that we see, it would've been graceful if PMLN decided to sit on opposition benches. IK has got better numbers while sitting in jail. Rest of you couldn't win even with the extra help from khakis. That should give you reality check and an opportunity to reflect.

    So, what did you gentlemen @OfficialDGISPR achieve from this presser? You’d be in fools paradise if you think you've swayed Imran Khan’s support. In fact, you've made him stronger by looking unnerved. He has put you on your toes. And you showed it to the world. Now what?

    Standing ovation for PTI voters who came out and defied all the impediments and deterrents put by the powerful state institutions. You defeated it all with your commitment and resolve. *Hat tip* That said, I still remain a critic of IK’s politics. Let's live & let live.

    اسد عمر کو کہتے سنا کہ علی ظفر نے تین کیس جیت کر ہیٹ ٹرک کی ہے۔ حضور @Asad_Umar ، آپ کو اچھی طرح معلوم ہے کہ علی ظفر کی جگہ کوئی بھی چپژ قناتیا ہوتا، یہ کیس جیت ہی جاتا۔ آپ نے وکیل نہیں، جج کئے ہوئے ہیں۔

    This is the reason why Mr. Hamdullah's nationality has suddenly become an issue. None of us should support Govt's action of forcibly ousting him from Pakistan and taking away his acquired Pakistani identity. Very very dangerous precedent. Its not about his misogyny. Not.

    لگتا ہے عمران خان اور جنرل فیض کو کسی نے پاکستان کی سپاری دے دی ہے۔ اللہ رحم کرے۔
