1) Pakistan was not founded to triple talaaq your wives.
2) Triple talaaq has been outlawed in Pakistan since 1961 via The Muslim Family Laws Ordinance.
This is why Pakistan was founded. A place where we can practice our own religion without being persecuted or sanctioned. Indian Muslims... you have no leg to stand on when you mock Pakistanis don’t @ me

Don't fall for this trap. Your worth is not determined by how many extra hours you put in your work. Others manipulate you into subjugation by shaming you to work more. Work well & honestly - and strike a balance. Friends, family, leisure, hobbies etc, so much more to life.

Politically incorrect, but amusingly ironic is the fact that many of the civil servants putting up hefty, poignant statuses/tweets about this would be really small people in their own offices, doing their best to make it a toxic environment for those working under them.
For a person who is Fair , Just, intelligent, and Compassionate, civil service and our society are death beds. Its a Murder by Depression. Depression shoved down his throat by seniors, horrible working culture, continuous helplessness to do right, family and friends, and a mental
