The outside roof of the Hayatabad cricket complex collapsed following a fairly mild storm. Is somebody going to be held responsible for this? The contractor? Govt department? Apart from govt fund loses this could have become fatal. And the govt claims this will host PSL games

Completely agree!! There seems to be very little difference between revised numbers and projected numbers, so what’s the point of printing revised numbers if you’re not going to base them on some sort of actuals. The YTD at least gave actuals for 11 months

My article in dawn newspaper today about the undiagnosed psychological stress that has been ruining lives, families and communities in swat and merged areas as a consequence of conflict over the past couple of decades dawn.com/news/1921588/i…

I am surprised at the boycott of PTI parliamentarians from the meeting at fed govt level for revival of jirga system in merged areas. This demand was initiated by the KP prov govt on PM’s visit to Peshawar with the CM there. If u didn’t want it why ask for it in the first place!!

News of intense fighting between security forces and militants coming out of upper Orakzai and in a different incident a BHU was also set on fire. The govt (fed and prov) need to make a joint security strategy. Mainstream media silence is also deafening, what a shame!!

Another Pashtun nationalist leader fighting for restoration of peace brutally assassinated in Bajaur yesterday. It does beg the question why is it always those being targeted who are asking for peace. Why is asking for peace in Pashtun lands such a scary proposition

There might be better ways to celebrate your 40th, but out playing golf with your bestie isn’t a bad way either :)

Very informative and interesting conversation. Encourage everyone to please watch this program at 10 pm tonight

My article in Dawn.com today about potential reforms in merged areas and more importantly the flawed process it so often is done through Change is in the air dawn.com/news/1931986

The irony of a man being shot to death who supported accepting shootings as a prudent cost for protecting 2nd amendment is unreal. The US seriously needs to reconsider how ‘prudent’ supporting this policy actually is.

Sadly, so true

دعوت اور موقع کے لیے آپ کا شکریہ Rifatullah Orakzai رفعت اللہ اورکزئی Thank You

Had a very frank conversation with Rifatullah Orakzai رفعت اللہ اورکزئی on his podcast about what’s happening in merged areas these days.

My article in today’s dawn newspaper about Pakistan’s counter-productive Afghan deportation policy. dawn.com/news/1946489

This can only happen in Pakistan!! And we’re expecting our government’s to provide quality education and healthcare to its citizens.. they can’t even handle the mail!! dawn.com/news/1947790/g…

Why does it feel like the political game in KP is just another version of the same film that’s been played time and again and that the pawns in it are just to involved to realize it at the moment??
