Today, the 4th of January 2018, marks my fathers 7th death anniversary. At his grave, I prayed that god gives my family the strength to carry out his mission for a peaceful and progressive Pakistan.
My advice to anchors & TV channels: Don’t behave like mehr bukhari and incite violence against judges, citizens & politicians by playing Khadim Rizvi’s fatwas and hate speeches.
Hanging Qadri for the murder of her Punjab Governor was Pakistans victory. However, today is different. Today is a victory for the downtrodden.For the poor.The weak.Those who have faced religious persecution.Those who have been falsely accused. Today a new precedent has been set
A fire broke out yesterday at Masjid Al-Aqsa in Palestine. No one in the media covered it....not a single penny has been pledged to help renovate. The historic structure is 130 years older than Norte-Dame.
Australia has begun testing a drain net to help stop plastic from reaching rivers & seas. Many countries have already started to follow. Hope to see Pakistan implementing such innovative sollutions.
4th Jan is a difficult day to wake up & face.8yrs ago my father was murdered outside my ISB home,for his stance to amend the blasphemy law & his fight for AsiaBibi’s freedom.However,today is different.After many yrs a scent of vindication,freedom & justice has perfumed the air
A good speech by PM
@ImranKhanPTI
addressing todays SC verdict. There was also a strong warning at the end. Don’t force the government to take action. 👏🏼

This is Qari Muhammad Salaam who along with 2 other women lied about Asia Bibi committing blasphemy. It has been proven in court that they lied.
Because of him, Asia bibi had to spend over 8 years on death row.
He and the other two culprits should be jailed and an example set.
I’m a big believer in accountability. But it should be across the board. I’d like to see ALL the thief’s behind bars. Judges. Politicians. Army officials. Bureaucrats. Public office bearers. ALL.
Mubarak
@ImranKhanPTI
on becoming the Prime Minister of Pakistan. I hope you will leave this country better than the way you found it. IA.

This is doing the rounds on WhatsApp... ‘Iron Lady’ .... ‘Deserves’ ... plz have a look at the second image too. And also rem her by-election posters had Mumtaz Qadri’s picture on it. We are just replacing wolves we know, with wolves we don’t know.
Today is a strange & different kind of anniversary, but one that is important in my home. It marks the day my brother safely returned after 4 & a half years of captivity under the Taliban & Uzbeks...This picture was the moment we all say him for the first time.
My prayers are with the Sharif family during this difficult time. Begum Kulsoom Nawaz was a very humble woman & had been exceptionally kind to my family during my brothers kidnapping. May her soul rest in peace & may her family find strength at this time.
Every commercial pilot in Pakistan should be made to sit for a mandatory re-examination. It’s frightening that most have either cheated or made someone else sit for their exams.
Archbishop of Karachi has been made into a Cardinal at the Vatican City. This is a proud moment for Pakistan. (Regardless of ones faith, we should all feel pride)
The state of Pakistan should make up its mind. When it comes to taking their donations, the same Ahmedi’s who are rejected from gov positions or openly threatened/butchered are suddenly considered ‘Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamma’at’.
Cases like THIS is exactly why my brave father
@SalmaanTaseer
raised his voice against the misuse of the blasphemy law. Unfortunately in Pak neither the gov & nor the army have the courage to take on issues like this. Banning social media won’t change the filth that is brewing.
In the early 90’s Ukraine was one of the largest nuclear powers in the world. They gave up their nuclear arsenal based on guarantees and assurances by the US & other allies 🤷🏻♂️remember Pakistan had the same pressure.
A kachra kundi in Gulshan-e-iqbal UC 21 block 5 has been converted into a public park by the District Admin of Karachi. Keep it up guys, and one day you’ll be as pretty as Lahore.
This sort of politics should lead to life time bans and criminal proceedings. It’s nothing short of attempted murder. In a country like Pakistan, these insinuations can get someone killed or you can up living on borrowed time.
More breaking :After bringing up Kashmir
@SMQureshiPTI
lashes out personally at PM
@narendramodi
, when I push to ask why the Kashmir shadow over
#Kartarpur
. I press ahead to say Kartarpur would not be possible without the cooperation of PM Modi, so why the personal slur.
Considering I criticise Imran Khan I would also like to compliment him when I think he has taken a good step. I was very happy to see that he was telling party politicians to stop campaigning on the media 4 the CM position. Instead he said I want to appoint someone on merit 👏🏼
In the days leading up to his murder, many ppl asked him to”be careful”, which actually meant abandon his principled position. He didn’t care. He wasn’t reckless. He was aware of all the risks. He was just fearless.

Congratulations
@MaryamNSharif
on becoming the first female CM of punjab. Your journey has not been easy and the road ahead is a very treacherous one. Good luck, we will be rooting for you.
News outlets & individuals reporting on Asia Bibi’s travel arrangements need to STOP 🛑 it’s not just unethical, it’s also very dangerous for her and her family.
Bilawal is saying all the right things and making all the right waves. If your interested in helping build a progressive Pakistan. Get behind this young man
@BBhuttoZardari
Personally i do not agree with a lot of PTI’s political views. (Especially when it comes to religion-state matters) But I believe that if IK delivers even a third of the things he says he will, Pakistan will be better for it. So, good luck
@ImranKhanPTI
. Pakistan Zindabad ✊🏼
On a lighter note it was a great feeling to go and vote with my brother
@ShahbazTaseer
. In 2008 I was still studying & therefore not in Pakistan. In 2013 he was not in Pakistan (he was in Afghanistan...😬)

Amazing fact I just read : Stephen Hawking was born Jan 8, 1942 on the 300th death anniversary of Galileo. He died March 14th, the birth anniversary of Albert Einstein. Time really is circular and it connects us all in amazing ways.
The PPP manifesto has clearly addressed a lot of Pak’s important issues like health care, terrorism, social sector etc..Iv watched
@BBhuttoZardari
working day & night on it for many months. Congratulations & good luck to U my friend. Ur mother would be proud of you!
#Election2018
Agree with the PM’s vision on development. I have advised previous gov’s to also stop building concrete jungles. Instead develop punjab as the agriculture corridor for the world..produce & export the worlds food..build cold storages till the ports for perishables (fruit & veges)
My vision for our future cities: to allow buildings to rise vertically & allow for more green spaces as Pak is one of the the most environmentally-threatened countries. Avoiding large sprawling built-up areas will also allow easier provision of amenities to our urban dwellers.
Im told while checking water quality at RO plants, the CJ started demanding ‘why is the water not blue?’ Sheepishly, he was later explained ‘Your majesty...water is clear and has no colour’ 😐....🤷🏼♂️
