Someone (let’s leave him unnamed) was making fun of this family for having their last Ramadan dinner among the ruins, and all I could think was, “they have more dignity in their little finger than you will ever know.”

Remembering the great I.A. Rehman Sb today on his 3rd death anniversary. It was an honour to have worked with him and to have learned from him. Human rights movements in South Asia are poorer without him. His legacy lives on. May he rest in peace.

Qatar & Kuwait just told the that they cannot use bases on their territories to attack !
Will other Arab states for once show backbone & solidarity & take the same stance or will they be Judas ?

I just returned from for Medical Aid for Palestinians.
The scale of the suffering and humanitarian catastrophe inflicted by Israel is vast and horrific.
What is being done to the Palestinians of Gaza is a disaster for humanity.
History will judge all who are complicit.

The UK government must create a Gaza Family Scheme to give temporary sanctuary to and reunite Palestinian families - just as it did with the Ukraine Family Scheme.

Please sign this petition and help Gaza Families Reunited get to 100,000 signatures ~

قذافی سٹیڈیم لاہور: 'میجر اسد موقع پر آ گیا اور اپنے فوجی جوانوں کو کہنے لگا کہ SHO دلاور کو اغوا کر کے یونٹ میں لے جاؤ۔ دلاور کو نہیں چھوڑنا۔ میجر اسد کھڑا ہو کر SHO پر تشدد کرواتا رہا۔'
مارچ 2022 میں تحریک انصاف حکومت میں تھی، اسلیے تابعداری سے دفاع کرتی تھی۔ آج سیخ پا ہیں۔

My 15 years old son went for a day’s work with a friend who provides DIY services.
After spending almost 8 hours and earning £45, he was quite excited and told me how they strip the floor boards and did some paint work.
He is going back on this Saturday again.
Little experiences…

The hybrid setup is doomed to fail. Incompetent and ineffective establishment-backed government VS competent & effective establishment-backed government. That is the choice we have because we have not had a completely democratic government even after Ziaul Haq died in 1988. 1/n

Some pictures remind me of a different period in our history. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto offered Eid prayers in his native village. Little protocol, no armies of guards, or frequent free Umrahs. Life was generally peaceful & simpler. Most people today have no idea of what it was like
