For those watching from afar, know this: Pakistan’s response is not a choice but a necessity—a response to aggression, not a desire for conflict. #PakistanZindabad #IndiaPakistanWar

Love and respect for the officers of the PAF who are the only force directly challenging the threat of Hindutva-Zionist fascism in South Asia. History will owe a debt to these men and women for confronting the Goliath of our times.

The #ceasefire wasn’t negotiated through diplomacy, but enforced through containment. Standing firm against unprovoked aggression, #Pakistan exercised restraint, defended sovereignty, and sought peace without compromise. Its resolve is clear: escalate only to de-escalate. 🇵🇰💚

You still don’t get it. You waste so much energy saying this or that isn’t anti-semitic when the truth is no sentiment or abstract ideology—antisemitism or otherwise—would be worse than the tangible, systematic, real-life genocide happening right now. What’s not clicking?

Great Thunberg v Malala Yousafzai really brings into sharp relief the utter uselessness of a shallow identity politics. One is on her second freedom flotilla to Gaza after the first one was bombed. The other co-produced a musical with Hillary Clinton.

Wishing you and your families a truly blessed Eid. May Allah accept all your prayers and usher in a time of peace, healing, and happiness. May He ease the pain of those enduring hardship and oppression in Gaza, and all other corners of the world where suffering prevails. Ameen.

Israel illegally detains the humanitarian volunteers aboard the #FreedomFlotilla—people risking their lives to merely deliver aid. This is dystopian! The world watches as babies starve. This isn’t a crisis, it’s a crime! Global resistance is needed to halt this genocidal machine.

Heart goes out to those who lost their lives in the #planecrash crash of #AirIndia’s flight to London, & their families. Utterly painful & tragic! May Allah give patience & strength to the bereaved. Also, a moment of reflection of how fragile and ephemeral life is. 💔 #Ahmedabad

Saw a child shot in the head by an Israeli sniper near an ‘aid distribution’ point. Just a baby, desperate for food - shot in the head because he was a Palestinian Arab, likely Muslim, by an Israeli soldier in a Jewish military, serving a Jewish state that is starving, bombing,

The US says it can’t control Israel—yet it arms it, funds it, shields it diplomatically, and watches as missiles fall - facilitating a cycle of escalation. Then turns to Iran and says: please accept Israel’s terms. A superpower that bankrolls the war but claims no part in it.

"Pakistan’s FY2025–26 budget prioritises IMF appeasement over inclusive growth, neglecting tax reform, human capital, and climate resilience" Nauraiz Rana thefridaytimes.com/15-Jun-2025/pa…

Weaponizing fear against innocent people is a line no democratic leader should ever cross. We are staring down a moral and geopolitical disaster. If the world doesn’t speak out now, we may soon be witnessing the beginning of something far darker than diplomacy gone wrong! #Iran

I wrote for The Friday Times on #PakistanBudget FY26. It’s fiscally tight but socially thin - education, health, & climate resilience remain underfunded. Indirect taxes remain high and the structural flaws in the tax base persist. Is this stabilization or stagnation? thefridaytimes.com/15-Jun-2025/pa…

People using AI for writing will never know what a true pleasure it is to think & write for oneself. We don't just write when writing, we actively think, we search for the right words, we 'feel' the rush of putting thoughts to paper. Thinking & writing are primally wired together

If you want to know why you have to pay 38.15% tax on your salary and 18% sales tax on every packet of milk or tin of oil you buy for your family, please see below the office of a district police officer your taxes have paid for.
