As to censorship, instead of taking responsibility, his answer was that Mateeullah Jan was picked by security forces. As a head of state he was responsible & he failed to punish those who acted illegally.
On the rule of law, he denied breaking any law which is an outright lie.

Banning such a major political party in Pakistan is deeply concerning! Such actions only legitimize an intolerant political atmosphere and push Pakistan further towards a new norm of political suffocation and exclusion.

There are no words to condemn this heinous act. While there is no hope for justice, it is time that PTI & other political parties join under common agenda of civilian supremacy. It is also time for PTI to reflect on times when it mocked other politicians targeted the same way.

I just read this tweet to a so called friend. I was surprised to hear that he agreed with the tweet and said “EU is encouraging sharia law in UK”. I had a one hour discussion. In the nutshell, I am sick of giving people explanations about my religion.
I spoke with a guy in a pub last night, he's a normally pleasant enough guy. He said, calmly "I'm not racist, I just don't like P*ki's & muslims. I voted Leave because if we stay in the EU there'll be Sharia Law here". I don't know how to argue with this stuff.
