10 months ago, I tweeted about being denied a new passport unless I added my husband’s name to my ID card (in clear contradiction of NADRA policy). Members of government Ahsan Iqbal and Salman Sufi expressed support for a change in policy but nothing materialised. 1/2

Ordinary people, not the elite, should be the focus of governance. #AwaamPakistan Shahid Khaqan Abbasi

I am always amused by two things on social media. One PMLN social media friends writing in their bio that they are for “civilian supremacy” and “democracy”. And two, PTI social media friends calling everyone, from journalists to to politicians to judges, who disagrees with them

The number one agenda item, in terms of necessity and impact on the lives of Pakistanis, of any Constitutional Amendment in Pakistan has to be the strengthening of the first tier of Government i.e. Local Self Government!

جب تک بلدیاتی حکومتوں کو فعال نہیں بنایا جائے گا تب تک پاکستان ترقی نہیں کر سکتا اور نہ ہی تعلیم صحت اور پولیس وغیرہ کی سہولیات لوگوں کو اچھی طرح میسر ہوں گی

Constitutional and empowered local governments are a must to improve our governance and to provide people with essential services such as health, education, policing, etc. We must finish the project of making Pakistan a true federation by extending 18th amendment-like devolution

Pak is several billion dollars short to pay interest & repayment on its existing loans. Hence the IMF program is delayed & the govt is trying to borrow to finance the gap. To get a huge new loan for a rail project now is reckless & shows govt is unserious. dawn.com/news/1855852

ML 1 is not financially feasible in rupee terms. It will also not generate any forex. The indirect savings of forex (eg, in terms of diesel imports saved) will not even be close to the forex required to service and repay the loans. Hence it will be a huge drag on our forex

FBR wasn’t able to meet its revenue target in the first two months of this fiscal year primarily because imports were down by 2.2% in dollar terms and 7% in rupee terms. This suggests our economy is slowing down further from last year. The main reason is the very high real policy

“20 tents immediately disintegrated and left behind craters at least 9-meters deep at the site of impact” This is what Israel did to Gaza last night.

Today is the 76th anniversary of the passing of Pakistan’s founding father, the great Muhammad Ali Jinnah. When he died, the Times described him as a “legend in his lifetime” who “commanded the imagination and confidence of his nation” We are failing him He is missed everyday
