#Pakistanis living #overseas should have a right to vote only 2 circumstances: 1) they only hold a Pakistani passport 2) they file their tax returns in Pakistan. Otherwise it’s irrational to give the vote to people who have no direct stake in the country.

#ImranKhan did on April 3, 2022 exactly what #Modi did on August 5, 2019, but at least Modi had the decency to show a majority in Parliament. We have a worse #Modi on our hands.

2) Beyond politics, #IK has now clearly undermined the #Constitution , the Supreme National Institution. Article 95 is a self contained provision, which gives the #Speaker no power once leave has been granted for #VoNC . A vote has to be done, no matter what. 2/n

Mashallah. Would love to see a defence of the proceeds of gambling being used by #IK for political debts. “Games of chance” are very clearly declared haram by the Quran, and illegal in Pakistan. Not sure which #riyasatemadina was the great Khan trying to create!

@shamsispeaks Statue taken down by mob in 1947, grave desecrated in 1992. This to a man who left all his money to lahore!
