After the resignation of Omar Ayub as SG of party, today’s episode of Red Zone Files has become even more relevant. Watch the show on the leadership conflict within PTI by clicking the link below
تحریک انصاف کے لیے ایک مخلصانہ مشورہ: الیکشن کمیشن کے پاس آئینی اختیار ہے کہ نگران وزیر اعلیٰ کا فیصلہ کرے اگر سیاسی جماعتیں م یہ فیصلہ نہ کر سکیں ۔ آئیں میں یہ نہیں لکھا کہ الیکشن کمیشن فیصلے سے پہلے تحریک انصاف سے اجازت لے۔ چنانچہ فیصلے کو قبول کریں اور اچھلنا بند کریں۔ شاباش۔
سات مہینے کا خلاصہ:
1. خان صاحب نے الیکشن مانگا - نہیں ملا 2. اپنا آرمی چیف مانگا - نہیں ملا
3. الیکشن کمشنر کا استعفی مانگا - نہیں ملا
4. میر جعفر کہنے کے بعد انہیں لوگوں سے ریلیف مانگا - نہیں ملا
5 . خان صاحب بیانیہ جیتنے کی کوشش میں سیاست ہار بیٹھے۔۔۔

The choice of Dr Reza Baqir as Governor State Bank is an excellent one. Finally PTI govt makes a solid appointment. We need top professionals like him in positions that require technical expertise. Well done PM
@ImranKhanPTI
Everyone has forgotten about the Sahiwal murders. No one remembers those little children. No one should be surprised. Shame on govt and opposition and on us all...

حکومتی ترجمانوں کی فوج کو یکدم چپ کیوں لگ گئی ہے؟ وہ ترجمانوں کے باقاعدہ اجلاس، وہ کمیونیکیشن اسٹریٹجی کی بڑھکیں، وہ سب ایسے موقع پر کام کیوں نہیں آ رہیں؟ وزیراعظم کے ایک انتہائی مضحکہ خیز بیان کے سامنے سرکاری ترجمان بھی ڈھیر؟ اصل امتحان اب شروع ہوا ہے
#HazaraLivesMatter
It's amusing to see PTI leaders struggling to come to terms with two fundamental realities: (1) Govt has no legal or political compulsion to call elections, so it won't, (2) PM has the constitutional right to appoint next COAS, so he will. End of story. Rest is noise
#Pakistan
Some irresponsible politicians are deliberately suggesting Pakistan heading towards civil war. They are wrong. The state must enforce its law & take to task those who violate it. No party, or person, should be able to hold a state & its citizens hostage

چیرمین تحریک انصاف نے اقتدار کھونے کے بعد سیاسی جوا کھیلا ۔ امریکی سازش کے افسانے کو ترپ کا پتہ سمجھا ۔ جوے میں اپنی مقبولیت، ساکھ، حامیوں کی اندھی تقلید، اداروں کا تقدس، اور لانگ مارچ، سب جھونک دیا ۔ مگر جوا آخر ج��ا ہوتا ہے۔ ہاتھ پٹ گیا۔ اس ہفتے عیاں ہو جائے گا

My dear anchors & tajziyakars: explaining suspension of Sharifs sentence solely due to NAB incompetence is wrong. In Accountability Court, same NAB, same arguments, same evidence & conviction. In IHC same NAB, same arguments & bail. Only difference: Judges
#NawazSharif
ICJ verdict: (1) Jadhav will not be released (2) His sentence not overturned (3) His hanging stayed (4) He will get Consular access (5) His sentence to be reviewed.
Conclusion: Indian all pleas rejected except consular access. Not too bad for Pakistan. Pretty bad for India
Pathetic attendance and it is in one of the small mtg rooms of the UN in Geneva because this is where side mtgs are normally held not main sessions of major conferences. Even in this small venue attendance only seems to be of Pak officials & only some mbrs of cabal of crooks.

1. آرمی چیف کی تعیناتی معمول کے مطابق ہونے کے بعد تحریک انصاف کی مزاحمتی سیاست ماند پڑ جائے گی۔ خان صاحب کی ٹھنڈی میٹھی تقاریر نے اس کا عندیہ دینا شروع کر دیا ہے۔ مگر خان صاحب کا یہ یو ٹرن پھیکا ہے کیونکہ اس کے عوض ان کو نہ الیکشن ملا نہ سلیکشن

This is unacceptable.

is a former foreign minister of Pakistan. He deserves to be treated with respect. Authorities must take notice and make amends
Second video: Supreme Court I hope you’re watching how they treated
@SMQureshiPTI
in direct contempt of your orders.
Is this how we treat the people who have represented Pakistan and stood up for her rights? And Protected her sovereignty?
This is true test for leadership credentials of PM
@ImranKhanPTI
. His decision- making now is for the history books. He must look deep inside himself & do the right thing. He will be judged for posterity. May he make the right call & stand vindicated in time

Look at this graph carefully. It compares death rate of Pakistan and Indian state of UP. Both have roughly same population profile & literacy. Pakistan has lesser density/km and higher GDP/capita. UP was strict with lockdown. We were not. See diff in death rate

Who convinced PM

to commit outrageous violation of constitution & how was this disastrous decision reached? Key challenge for journalists, including myself, to dig out real story and unveil names that pushed PM to commit this constitutional sin
#ConstitutionWins
A populist will mobilise his support base. A state must uphold the law. And Order. And enforce it. Every leader has a right to push his narrative. Every state has the responsibility to ensure the narrative does not make supporters take law into their hands
