جنید حفیظ تیرہ سال سے جیل میں ہیں۔ شفاف تحقیقات کا یہ عالم ہے کہ کوئی جج اس کیس کو سُننے کے لئے تیار نہیں۔ ان کے ایک وکیل راشد رحمان ان کا کیس لینے کے جُرم میں مارے جا چکے ہیں۔ تیرہ سالوں میں چودہ جج تبدیل ہو چکے ہیں اور نظام انصاف سسک رہا ہے۔ #JusticeForJunaidHafeez
ملک میں توہین کے الزامات اور اُن کی سچائی پر سرکاری تفتیش کاروں کی حقیقت سامنے آجانے کے بعد بہت سے سوالات اُٹھ کھڑے ہوئے ہیں۔اگر خفیہ تحقیقاتی ادارے اور انسانی حقوق کے سرکاری ادارے ملک میں متحرک بلاسفیمی بزنس گینگز کی طرف اُنگلیاں اُٹھا رہے ہیں تو اس صورت میں جنید حفیظ سمیت تمام

I was not ready for Pakistan Idol. Time to reaffirm faith in our people.
The talent showcased at @pakistanidol_ is simply outstanding! The young performer’s rendition of “Sham Se Pehle Aana”—a timeless Alamgir classic we grew up with—was exceptional. He truly did full justice to the song.

@FranNunesEcon Well, lets start with the basics and you: 1. What exactly is the "real world" variable represented by "velocity of money"? 2. At what revenue level did Amazon and Google start to experience "Diseconomies of Scale"? 3. What justifies the assumption of "a representative actor"?

We've a responsibility to the Palestinian people. Not bcoz we share the same faith but bcoz we oppose colonial subjugation. We oppose it bcoz we were once subjugated to it. By supporting Trump's plan, we stand one with the genocide and the settler colonial state. Oppose it now!
I welcome President Trump’s 20-point plan to ensure an end to the war in Gaza. I am also convinced that durable peace between the Palestinian people and Israel would be essential in bringing political stability and economic growth to the region. It is also my firm belief that

I think the most annoying part of Roy's argument is that he claims that Colonialism wasn't uniformly good or bad. It created winners and losers and we need to study who lost and who won. I wonder if he would ever look at Apartheid South Africa and say white folks followed policie

Many university professors including Indians and Pakistanis may become jobless as a result!
President Trump signs new order on #H1Bvisa:employers must now pay a $100,000 annual fee per H-1B worker,in addition to salaries. Applies to renewals and new hires. This will sharply raise costs, could shrink opportunities for skilled migrants in the U.S.
