The best thing about recent developments in #JammuAndKashmir is its inclusiveness, especially women's empowerment. It’s heartening to see that Kashmiri girls are foraying into unconventional fields like rapping. More power to them. @MirYanaSY @fakharzai7 #Kashmir #IndianCentury

@muneebqadirmmq A country cannot survive when uniforms accumulate wealth by stripping civilians of shelter. #Pakistan doesn’t have a housing crisis — it has a moral crisis driven by unchecked military greed. 3/3

The state that should protect citizens is acting as a real estate broker for the military elite. Bulldozers move faster than courts. Notices replace justice. Fear replaces dignity. 2/3 @muneebqadirmmq

DHA’s growth always comes with a familiar cost: the homes of ordinary Pakistanis. Around #Islamabad, entire communities are being uprooted so generals can expand their gated kingdoms behind walls and guards. 1/3 @iamthedrifter @NidaKirmani @marvisirmed @a_siab

@odysseuslahori If the state cannot protect a 55-year-old man returning home, what meaning do “law,” or “rights” hold? Justice delayed is justice denied — and for Ahmadis, denial has become state policy. 3/3 @AyeshaaSiddiqa @Zulqurnain846 @Rabwhian @soulat_pasha #StopAhmadiPersecution

When mobs surround Ahmadi homes, businesses are boycotted, and families are threatened, it is collective punishment on religious grounds. Silence from police and impunity for attackers sends one message: Ahmadi lives are disposable in #Pakistan. 2/3 @odysseuslahori

Another #Ahmadi bleeds, & the #Pakistani state looks away. Mubashir Ahmad was shot in Khushab not by accident, but by hate that has been normalized, enabled, and protected for years. This is targeted violence, not an isolated crime. 1/3 @bilalmahmooduk @ihsanehmad @znanjiani

May the coming year reward patience, courage, and integrity. Happy New Year!

#Pakistan’s war on terror will remain unwinnable until the state admits an uncomfortable reality: extremism survives not despite policy choices, but because of them Peace will only come when strategy stops feeding the very monster it claims to fight. 4/4

Every attack exposes the same truth: you cannot divide militants into “good” and “bad” without consequences. What begins as regional leverage eventually becomes domestic terror, ripping through markets, mosques, and classrooms. 3/4

Terrorism thrives where accountability dies. #Pakistan has tried to manage militancy instead of dismantling it, believing it can control fire without getting burned. History shows this illusion always collapses — violently. 2/4

Another year, another grim record. 2025 saw the highest terrorism-related deaths in #Pakistan in more than 10 yrs. This isn't policy failure, it is policy exposure. The cost of decades of double games is now undeniable. 1/4 @hidhussain @iamthedrifter https://t.co/qQ6F1rWIst

When a legal institution starts behaving like a lawless mob, it stops being a pillar of the state and becomes part of the problem it was meant to solve. 3/3

This sense of being untouchable reflects a deeper rot, where sections of the legal community in #Pakistan see themselves not as servants of justice but as the highest authority. 2/3

The lawyers who assaulted a vlogger inside a courtroom in #Karachi acted as if they were above the law, immune from consequences, and entitled to decide guilt through violence. 1/3 @MaryamShKhan @theRealYLH @soulat_pasha

@a_siab @husainhaqqani This is how insecurity is manufactured. When hunger is ignored, despair grows. When livelihoods vanish, crime and addiction follow. A state that claims security but creates misery at its borders is failing its own people. 3/3

With no relief in sight, families are borrowing to eat, migrating in desperation, or pulling children out of school. Education is the first casualty when the state abandons its poorest at moments of crisis. 2/3 @a_siab @husainhaqqani

At Torkham, border is shut, but lives are breaking open. Daily wagers and porters who survived on one day’s wage now have nothing. No work, no income, no answers. The state closes gates, not caring who is crushed beneath them. 1/3 @a_siab @BushraGohar https://t.co/pVbrNX6cbI

@FaseehMangi Security is not achieved by bulldozing the vulnerable. It is destroyed when the state turns violence into policy against its weakest citizens. 3/3

Without them, cities collapse. Yet when land values rise, the poor are declared illegal, unwanted, and removable — as if decades of living and working count for nothing. 2/3 @FaseehMangi #Islamabad

Calling katchi abadi dwellers “security risks” is a lie repeated to justify dispossession. These communities are not threats — they are the backbone of urban survival and daily life. 1/3 @marvisirmed @BushraGohar @AsjadBukhari1
