This is my response to the allegations against me! They can't go after the SC judge so they are coming after me, a "soft target"! Shameless & disgusting to vent your anger out on a woman! Ex-IWMB chief rejects graft allegations | The Express Tribune

Life has come full circle for Pakistan one generation later. A painful policy reset starts (we still don’t know to what extent). This is a question of ensuring sovereignty, and the defence of the Western border should be treated with the same urgency as other fronts.
Pakistan holds a conventional war advantage, while the Taliban are adept at proxy warfare that imposes persistent costs. So far, Kabul has waged this proxy war with impunity as Islamabad avoided open conflict. That may now change, as Pakistan seeks to build deterrence against the

The Govt of Pakistan’s seriousness about dealing with Climate Change or Air Pollution can really be assessed by the fact that PM and relevant Ministers will fly around half the world to attend a climate summit — where they have zero success anyway — but will refuse to attend any

I've been subjected to months of harassment by Monal owner Luqman Ali Afzal who used offices of his brother Kamran Ali Afzal to file frivolous enquiry; all because of a SC decision in favour of protecting Margallah Hills. Monal employees were paid to even attack my house now this

For brief moment in time, during the Covid lockdowns, the Kashmir Himalayas also became viable from Sialkot. Pretty important reason why we need clean air: it’s simply a great view.
Mount Everest from Bihar 🏔️ How could I miss this truly Eureka moment of Everest, Lhotse and surrounding ranges from the Bihar! First clear views I've seen from here. This is what the Great Trigonometric Survey of India would've witnessed on a regular basis in the 19th century.

Forget Malir Expressway, Shahrah-i-Faisal from Saddar Police station to Tipu Sultan has no lights. They’ve not been able to establish singular jurisdiction over the City’s main artery after 17 years in govt. Providing smooth roads and lighting comes after that.
Murtaza Wahab and Bilawal Bhutto couldn’t even imagine it in their wildest dreams. They spent and looted billions on the Malir Expressway and a single rain was enough to wash the entire project straight down the drain.

Israel couldn’t stop killing Palestinians - not even for 24 hours.
"Pro-Palestinian demonstrators couldn’t give it a rest – not even for 24 hours. They were chanting all the old slogans and ducking all the hard questions. ‘Globalise the intifada,’ they cried – does that mean killing Jews in Manchester?" ✍️@NickCohen4

A disgraceful assault on the right to protest. The UK government is complicit in genocide. Anyone who understands the meaning of these words knows full well why we continue to speak out. See you on 11 October for the largest demonstration for Palestine in British history.
NEW: Police forces will be granted new powers to put conditions on repeat protests, Shabana Mahmood says. The new powers, to be brought in asap, will allow senior officers to consider ‘cumulative impact’ of previous protests - and move them elsewhere. Home Secretary will

Every new “mega project” in Islamabad seems to chip away at parks and green belts. Instead of squeezing another convention hall into the city’s heart, as being planned now, why not build near the airport? Several hotels are already popping up there, more can be built and the

I’m both surprised and happy about the sheer number of small artisan-run enterprises that have popped up in Pakistan and doing business online. Usually run by a 20/30 year olds as side gigs or full-time, and might have come out due to testing financial circumstances, but the

Van Jones mockingly says, "dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby." And the audience laughs and applauds. This is peak U.S. liberalism.
Van Jones, Thomas Friedman, and Bill Maher all agree that outrage over images of dead Palestinian babies in Gaza is the result of an Iran-Qatari social media "disinformation campaign." Russiagate normalized this fictional playbook of blaming any threat to elite imperatives on

PPP thinks using the example of Karachi’s infrastructure is a good comeback… that’s besides the fact that the first BRT (Greenline) in the city was funded by the federal government..
Before criticizing Sindh’s transport system, PML-N should recall how Karachi was neglected for decades under their rule. PPP didn’t make promises — we delivered Pakistan’s first EV, Green Hybrid Bus, Peoples Red Bus, Orange Line BRT and Pink Bus services exclusive for women,
