US House resolution 901 has just passed by a massive 368-7 vote. This means that 85% of the members of the House of Representatives have voted in favor of urging "the full and independent investigation of claims of interference or irregularities" in Pakistan's 2024 elections.

HR 901 also "condemns attempts to suppress the people of Pakistan's participation in their democracy, including through harassment, intimidation, violence, arbitrary detention, restrictions on access to the internet...or any violation of their human, civil, or political rights."

This shows an utter lack of understanding of how US politics works, especially as it relates to foreign policy. The House vote is the result of Pakistani diaspora members engaging their representatives for something they care about. There is no US effort to "woo" Khan...

US Congress House Resolution 901 backs democracy & human rights in Pakistan! A late but bold stance for free speech, rule of law, and political stability. More importantly a stance endorsed by both Democrat and Republican congressmen. Global democratic values in action to protect

‘the govt may abolish up to a 15% additional income tax on the profits that banks make by extending loans to the cash-strapped finance ministry. This move could provide approx Rs60 billion in benefits to a sector that earned Rs960 BN in profits last year.’ tribune.com.pk/story/2474319/…

Sad day for Pakistan. The Iddat case has set a dangerous precedent that can be used to control & suppress women's personal freedoms. Hundreds of thousands of women in Pakistan already fighting for their rights. Our justice system should protect, not restrict, women's rights to

The stark contrast - huge breaks for luxury cars vs heavy hikes for the salaried class - reveals deeper issues in tax measures proposed in the budget: regressive taxation, elite policy capture and tax policy contributing to further social inequality.

Omer Ayub is a level headed person and a phenomenally hard worker. He stood like a rock with the party and steered it under impossible conditions. His father passed away during the time he was being hounded. I am hoping he will review his decision. Omar Ayub Khan

This single graph depicts the true colors of our tax policy: regressive taxation, disproportionate burden on low-income segments, widening inequality. We keep going in this direction and the result would be a shrinking middle class with more pronounced social stratification,

The same Pakistani parliament, born from elections whose legitimacy is being questioned by US Congress Resolution 901, now wants to pass a resolution against it. A parliament under scrutiny trying to counteract the scrutiny itself. Thy name is irony!

This budget is a disaster! Taxpayers are left with impossible choices: evade, underreport, or be crushed by taxes while the elite get exemptions. This is a blatant attack on the middle class and fairness.

Taxes, taxes and more taxes! This would wipe out any middle class remaining in Islamabad, making it an exclusive elite enclave for the rich and the mighty!
