Bangladesh's interim leader: "I've heard...people are attacking each other, burning down houses...attacking offices & courts. Minorities are attacked - Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Ahmadiyas..Our job is to protect them, protect everyone; every human being is our brother/sister"

Attacks on Bangladesh's Hindu community are alarming, and what is especially concerning is they're playing out in a security vacuum: The police are missing in action and the army is reluctant to enforce law and order, giving more space to the extremists. This is very dangerous.

For me #ArshadNadeem is such a legend that you can’t put his achievement in words. Coming from a country with limited means, his entire village donating money for his preparation. His achievement will go down in history not just of Pakistan 🇵🇰 but the world. 🗺️

I will definitely use this. All women will. I love this. But you know what? This opens a new can of worms. Imagine if you don't use this option. Imagine if you, god forbid, happen to experience a bad touch or sexual assault by your co-passenger, you know what that opens you up

Don’t misquote me as most of you do. I never said anything about equivalence of terrorism. I am only referring to hyper nationalism across religious divide and the damage it has caused to our social fabric. Terrorism of all hues is criminal.

Why will a handcuffed guy jump into a pond to escape? How do we know he is the guilty one? What if the actual perpetrators are scot free? Why are people so happy in the comments section without knowing the truth?
