This month's electricity & gas bills have crushed middle/low-income households. IMF wants further squeezing of an already impoverished society. No party is willing to touch the $17.4 billion annual subsidies given to elites.

Fightback for economic justice must begin now.

Free advice:
When you meet someone from Balochistan and Hazara, do not ask: 'Who kill you people? Why do they kill you? Why dont you all leave Quetta?'
And go one to say ' Mai btata/btati hun k masla kia hai Balochistan/Hazara logo ka'
Just shut the dang up..

NCHR stands with Digital Rights Foundation in condemning all forms of violence agst women, esp domestic violence. It is essential that Dom Violence Act be passed in ICT; that there are increased convictions under provincial laws & womens voices of complaint are not curtailed in any manner

If the religious majority had done this to the religious minority across the border, our entire country would have been outraged! Especially our religious scholars! Where is the uproar now? How is this different?

Don’t be what you hate. We must protect our minorities 🙏🏼

It has been over a month now that the people of #GilgitBaltistan are protesting for wheat subsidy and autonomy for the region.

The failure of Pakistani 🇵🇰 authorities to meet the people's demands has led to a lack of attention to their grievances. This approach only deepens the

The chief of Army Staff is opposing making Gilgit-Baltistan a province, now our people have decided to abolish this dummy assembly. We don't need your charity more.

کوئٹہ : اس قدر ازیت ہے درد ہی نہیں ہوتا ۔۔
کوئٹہ جلسے میں موجود ایک بزرگ اپنے جذبات کو قابو نہ رکھ ریاستی بربریت کی کہانی آنسوؤں کی زبانی تقریر کی صورت بیان کررہا ہے

#MarchAgainstBalochGenocide

My take on Independent Urdu 's story featuring Hazara Graveyard.

مارگلہ پر بہار نہیں، پولن آتی ہے.

بہار آتی ہے تو اسلام آباد کے راستے پھولوں سے اور ہسپتال مریضوں سے بھر جاتے ہیں ۔ پولن الرجی کا یہ عذاب ہمارے فیصلہ سازوں کے فکری افلاس کا تاوان ہے جو آج ہم ادا کر رہے ہیں اور کل ہماری نسلوں کو ادا کرنا ہو گا۔

اسلام آباد سے پہلے مارگلہ کے پہاڑ

Same road and pictures from today (the dusty one) and yesterday (the clear sky one).
Only difference is that due to harsh weather, stone crushing plants were taking a break.
This is what 2 days break can make Quetta's sky look; the most bluest.

At some point, as a working woman, you start seeing other women disappear.

It begins slowly. You are on a Zoom call and you are the only female face.

You are in a meeting room and someone presumes you are not good at what you do because you are so 'well-dressed'.

Here we are, back in the haunting echoes of 2021, where we poured out our cries & pleas to every human rights defender. Yet, despite our fervent efforts, we now bear witness to the agonizing outcome of a rapist set free by the court.
#QuettaDemandsJustice #HIDAYAT_THE_RAPIST

State's failure can’t muzzle our relentless fight against injustice. We've been fighting since day one against this travesty. #HIDAYAT_THE_RAPIST enjoys protection from his enablers It's evident that he’s merely the dog of these lords in power. #QuettaDemandsJustice

This is scary, our women don't deserve to go through fear and insecurity again and again in their own city when #hidayat_the_rapist and his gang roams freely.

I guess he should leave the caretaker position and become 'Insta Influenza' instead.
Also wondering who are among his PR team designing such clownery stunts

The nomination papers of Akhtar Mengal and other top candidates from BNP-M are rejected. At the same time, the nomination papers of Shafiq Mengal are accepted.

This election has already become controversial before the campaigning stage, no one should have any qualms about it.

Three clear signs a region is colonised:
1. It is ruled by people who have no connection to the land.
2. Its resources are extracted for the benefit of those rulers, not its inhabitants.
3. Its intellectuals & students are violently prevented from questioning these arrangements.

If you have time to watch one thing today, make it this podcast with R Kakar. Learn how did we land where we are today when it comes to #Balochistan .

Thank you Shehzad Ghias Shaikh for inviting this brilliant man and giving space to discuss Balochistan.

اس تین دن میں ہم نے اسلام آباد میں چند اچھے اور مخلص صحافیوں کے علاوہ اپنے لیے پاکستانی صحافیوں اور صحافیوں کے شکل میں جو ریاستی ایجنٹ تھے ان میں بلوچوں کے لیے صرف نفرت اور بغض پایا ہے اور ان کو واضح الفاظ میں کہتی ہوں ہمارے احتجاج میں آنے کی زحمت نہ کریں۔ آج کے بعد احترام ختم!
