ہمارے حکمران اختیارات اور طاقت نیچے منتقل کرنے کو تیار نہیں کیونکہ ان کی سیاست patronage کے گرد گھومتی ہے جس کے لئے وسائل کا ان کے ہاتھ میں ہونا ضروری ہے۔

Ali Wazir has been languishing in jail for years. He is a prisoner of conscience, a man who supported provincial autonomy, a right given by the constitution of Pakistan. We demand his release and return to his family. Pashtun and Sindhi people have been suffering while our

Joined an incredible workers' protests in Faisalabad. Hundreds of workers resisted state repression to demand minimum wage. We have won the battle in Gujranwala & workers in Faisalabad will also win. We will soon call an opposition conference on workers/farmers/students' rights.

Joined the inspiring ongoing power loom workers strike in Faisalabad yesterday with Ammar Ali Jan, Haider Ali Butt & others. Textile barons have locked workers out of factories rather than pay them living wages. We need a countrywide workers uprising for fairer wages & taxes.

Here’s a translation of the TTP announcement made during the recent Bajaur dialogues in August 2025 between TTP and tribal elders - 🧵

We were joined by PTI leader salman akram raja in Faisalabad today. He expressed solidarity with the movement of factory workers demanding implementation of the minimum wage. We hope more mainstream voices will pay attention to the struggle of workers for their rights.

Insanity. The lives & livelihoods of millions of people cannot be collectively held hostage to the actions of a few armed groups. If you can't fight insurgency without stifling the economy & connectivity of the whole province, you're admitting the situation is out of control.

ہم آپ کے شکر گزار ہیں کہ آپ فیصل آباد میں ہمارے پارٹی دفتر تشریف لائے اور ہڑتالی مزدوروں کا کھل کر ساتھ دیا۔ محنت کش اس مصنوعی حکومت کی وجہ سے شدید پریشانی کا شکار ہیں۔ اس ایشو پر ہم بہت جلد آل پارٹیز کانفرنس کا انعقاد کریں گے۔ امید ہے آپ سمیت اپوزیشن اس میں بھرپور شرکت کرے گی۔

Great to see the PTI Sec Gen visit the power loom workers strike for implementation of minimum wage laws in Faisalabad. We need more engagement between opposition parties & labour & farmer movements in this country to come up with a concrete collective structural reform agenda.

Government of Pakistan ‘pressing China on Gwadar’ for ‘Port’s underperformance’ is laughable, indeed, as GoP has failed to keep its 2 principal commitments to China, when CPEC was launched: FOOLPROOF SECURITY & ONE-WINDOW SYSTEM for CPEC, by slashing bureaucratic red-tape!

I hope those freaks in Pakistan who thought it was a good idea to recognize Israel will finally give up and hang their heads in shame. Recognizing a genocidal entity that is obliterating an entire people is not "pragmatism." It's surrender. 🇵🇰 must always stand with 🇵🇸

HKP Punjab President, Baba Latif, is leading the struggle for workers' rights in Punjab. Faisalabad admin is planning to arrest him after he hosted salman akram raja at a protest. We warn the govt that an attempt to arrest him will only intensify the ongoing strike in Faisalabad.

Comrade Baba Latif Ansari, leader of Haqooq-e-Khalq Party is leading the ongoing workers' strike in Faisalabad for fair wages and better working conditions. Following salman akram raja's solidarity visit, Faisalabad Admin. is threatning him and has added his name on a list for arrest.

Instead of ensuring textile workers receive the legally mandated minimum wage, the Punjab government is targeting labour leaders campaigning for workers rights. Factories have been shut for weeks. No such viciously anti-labour regime can bring about an economic revival.

Baba Latif Ansari is an incredible activist friend and organizer of working people not only in Faisalabad but all of Pakistan. We will resist his arrest here in Sindh also!

The Modi govt's decision to start mourning Pakistan's independence day as 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day' 75 years after Partition is frankly lunatic behaviour for a neighbouring state. Hard to see how you talk peace with a regime hell bent on rejecting your existence.

Alarming visuals of devastation from floods emerging from GB, Buner, Swat, Bajaur & other districts, where dozens have lost their lives & more heavy rains are expected. Need urgent attention & resources for rescue & relief from all tiers of govt for this national emergency.

The situation in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan is devastating. We are in the midst of a climate emergency. The state must mobilise all its resources to provide relief. Youth across the country must also play its role in raising funds. Time to demonstrate solidarity!

What a terrible tragedy. We rarely acknowledge the very real risks to life that frontline rescue & relief workers take on to help others in calamitous weather environments & hazardous terrain. Condolences to families of the brave workers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
