The traffic jam in Karachi today was caused by the Pakistan Army. But that's not the only thing they did. They kidnapped and tortured several lawyers for demanding that the law be followed. An FWO vehicle hit a lawyer's car and was offended when the police took the vehicle. 1/4

3. What does the VC do at LUMS exactly? Why is there not ONE official document accessible to students that highlights the powers of a VC and of other authority figures on campus? How is there not ONE method through which students can voice these concerns rather than tweeting

Military's demand for 10 lac acres of state land in the name of CAF is unconstitutional and illegal and perhaps the Armed Forces should receive some sensitivity training w.r.t their mandate. That's not me saying, it's the judiciary! Read more:

This extremely backward mindset is actually quite naive. If the first job was compensating enough for the person, providing them the motivation and growth which they expected from the job, they wouldn't ever feel the need to work a second job

One of our portfolio companies just fired someone who was two timing them. Freelance gigs are okay but a full time 2nd job sucks your best mindshare. This is a growing phenomenon in Pakistan where top talent does more remote work and thinks they’re too smart to get caught.

As much as @ICT_Police lied through their teeth, on whatever platform they could find, it is entirely false to say they followed due process or did not torture anyone, because they did. And there is a plethora of evidence. Read more:

4. The student is DEAD at LUMS. Because it is merely a vessel of extortion, not a body, not a person, not a human being. And the VC is simply an extension of dictatorship. Ap VC ko kuch bol k tou dikhayein agle din DC ki email hogi inbox mein asking you to justify your existence

When Bajwa came to LUMS and talked to the students for more than 4-5 hours straight, it was very clear how myopic his vision was and how narrow the depths of his perception were - offering worthless jobs to CS kids who are likely to get placed at Google/Tesla etc

If you support marriage as an institution - that's a valid choice. But calling it a "feminist choice" is just wrong. If you're making it and are happy - congratulations! Hope your happiness is preserved. But that still doesn't make it a feminist choice still, why - a thread.. 1/n

First woman CM my foot. This tokenization of women's participation is farcical. Konsi aurton ke liye kia jado jehad ki hai MNS ne? This is not a win for women or politics. And it's hypocritical to give into this narrative. MNS will never be a feminist icon, just a lady jagirdar.

This is absolutely heart-breaking. The coat guards sailed away as they watched the people drown and die. It could be argued that this was a state sanctioned murder, by both PK and Greece - one condemned 400 ppl to a life of misery until death and the other did the killing.

So when you act for scripts which perpetuate stereotypes and present your body as a site for capitalist commodification - understand that you are actively participating in the entrenchment of patriarchy. And that should be a crime for an artist.

The student of today is so fragile and naive - most political activity from college students (at least LUMS) in the last 1.5yrs was selfishly centered around just going back to campus. It boils my blood. Over time, the uni campus has become a site of violent surveillance. 1/n
