How is the murder of dozens of shias in Parachinar not the biggest news today? Our fellow citizens, under siege for years, have been mercilessly killed in a predictable fashion. Where is the media investigation? Where are those who take billions from us in the name of security?

More power to Shahid Khaqan Abbasi for expressly articulating incontrovertible facts and not becoming part of a counter-narrative that seeks to obfuscate, silence and stifle.

This is a time of immense grief, loss & anger for most Pakistanis- it would be contrary to basic human empathy to try to use this of all times for a self-serving narrative.

To everyone still focused on debating numbers of civilians martyred in Islamabad: Indiscriminate firing is unlawful under international law even in situations of war- using it on unarmed civilian protesters is not only illegal, it shows blatant disregard for civilian lives.

A reminder that you can do both: criticise political leaders for their silence and inaction on sectarian violence and deaths in Parachinar while also unconditionally condemning the regime for killing civilian protesters- the two are not mutually exclusive.

PTI was robbed of its mandate in the National Assembly. It has every right to protest. But it also form a majority Govt in KP. It has every obligation to attend to the needs of residents of KP which must take priority. #Kurram was a Federal Territory. PTI takes credit for the

This is such a brilliant initiative! Whenever I feel awful about what’s going on in the country, there are sparks of hope inspired by the actions of our educated youth. The fact that this is free counseling and fights back against the gatekeepers is amazing!

I urge everyone to avail this amazing opportunity! I’m also mentoring a few students myself through this (I did my undergrad from an Ivy League so if you have any questions yourself, please do reach out).

Holding the KP provincial government accountable for egregious lapses and negligence which led to senseless deaths in Swat should be the bare minimum for anyone with a conscience, regardless of political affiliation

Reminder: you can and should be independently critical of two separate incidents in Swat & Sahiwal without using one to obfuscate and deflect from the other. Our outrage & grief are not finite.
