It is not easy to sail against the tide, and PM #ImranKhan has done that more than often during his 2.5 years of reign. Whenever he took unpopular and tough decisions, he was warned of consequences, but every time we have seen him returning vindicated and more endearing. #PTI

In the matter of Senate Elections the Supreme Court seems to have adopted a middle path by giving ECP the mandate to put in place technological mechanisms to ensure ballot secrecy while making the vote traceable (1/2)

Ziya sahab was a legend and an enormous asset for #Pakistan , an #intellectual , and an icon of the country’s #art and #culture . He was a great #human and an esteemed family friend. This is an irreparable loss for all of us. إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ

The way @ECP_Official is handling the election date announcement is unfortunate; when it should have played a facilitative role. By dilly-dallying ECP is not only in contempt but also losing its credibility in the public eye.. @PTIofficial

Great news: IK sentence Toshakhana case suspended. justice prevails. If right to defend and produce witnesses is not given to a person then conviction is illegal and rightly set aside. This one point is sufficient.

Strict anti rape laws are in force law and yet I feel ashamed that our children are not protected #F9 #Islamabad rape case. Fault now clearly lies with implementation of these laws and Pakistan’s law enforcement agencies.... 1/2

The positive result of the SC decision yesterday is that ECP has announced the Election Schedule. The nation should gear up for exercising their rights and put the country back on track of progress and greatness

(3/3) Despite constitutional provisions and guarantees, the acts of torture continue unabated in Pakistan. Any such act is condemnable. I strongly condemn the torture of @SHABAZGIL and his mistreatment by the Islamabad Police. #FreeShahbazGill #شہباز_گل_کو_رہا_کرو
