Pti was never this fascist and progressives were never this silent
Punjab Police has unleashed a reign of terror against PTI members.
Apart from breaking all norms of decency, this is the height of cowardice to terrorise decent people and law abiding citizens with armed police barging in and vandalising their house.

An absolute tragedy that despite facing extensive/crippling heatwaves, water shortages, droughts, forest fires and climate induced illnesses - climate change is still not part of the mainstream political discourse in Pakistan.

I disagree, as the PCB has only thrived because of the revenues disbursed by the ICC, which are mostly generated from the Indian market.

ICC doesn’t care that much if Pakistan crashes out, only that India doesn’t and that both nations play each other. If you remove India & PK matches and the CW final , the total viewership of India v pk is likely higher than all other matches combined
