Here's a pictorial thread of businesses run by the Pakistani military.
Please note that this is my way of appreciating out armed forces, who have been able to run multiple businesses so effectively.
Aseefa Bhutto is so cool, just like her mother. Amazing launch! Can't wait for her to join hands with her brother & father in further destroying Karachi & Sindh 🥰
If the Qaum-e-Lut story was actually so important to you, you would have been out on the streets shouting about the raping of young kids & men in Madressahs because that's literally what Qaum-e-Lut used to do, rape men.
The fact that you have to Tweet about "lane marking" on Karachi roads as your achievement shows how little work you guys have done in this city.
How are you guys not embarrassed?
My Nani passed away yesterday. My Nani & Naana led a difficult life. They both belonged from a middle-class background, & throughout their life had to face many financial hardships. I wanted to write a little note on their life and how partition & migration affected their lives.
In our collective gham, we are forgetting Babar is only 27, Rizwan 29, and Shaheen 21! With these 3 in the side, we definitely are capable of winning a big tournament (at least) in the next 4-5 years. Exciting time to be a Pakistani cricket fan!
Note to all Pakistanis: Thank you Jinnah tweets at such moments are offensive to Indian Muslims. If you are actually worried about them, you won’t be flaunting on the idea that you are safe and they aren’t. Be more empathetic towards your fellow Muslims and pray for them.
This muhallay waala has a tiger at his house 😭 he was telling everyone that someone reported it to the police and the next day SSP came to his house, not to reprimand them, but to show his children the tiger 😭😭
Fall of Dhaka - PPP
Quota system - PPP
Destroyed Karachi - PPP
Destroyed Sindh - PPP
Powerless Local Govts - PPP
Corruption - PPP
Incompetence - PPP
Forced conversions of Non-Muslims in province - under PPP
Atom Bomb - PPP
BISP - PPP
1973 Constitution - PPP
Identity to NWFP and Northern Areas - PPP
NFC - PPP
18th Amendment - PPP
The list goes on ...
PPP's roots have been embedded in this country's soil.
The critics can only throw in jibes of corruption.
You did a whole show on this, bro!
You are complicit in this.
Tweeting against the judgement now won't fool anyone into believing you are a neutral journalist.

I will never be okay with how Arooj Aftab didn't even mention Mehdi Hassan, not even in any of the interviews!
Mohabbat krne walay is Mehdi Hassan's ghazal, his composition. He made it what it is. All you had to do was acknowledge him!
Single men shouldn't be allowed in public places like parks & malls. I remember this was the rule in events like KarachiEat and many guys were crying about it, but unless men learn how to behave in public, this should be implemented across the board.

Ammi was telling me she met a woman from Jammu & Kashmir in Makkah who told her she cried the whole day when Imran Khan was jailed.
My boss from Bangladesh is a huge fan & was upset when he was jailed.
Khan sahab ki support bohat alag level ki hai waisay.
Even if Karachi was earning zero revenue, it didn't deserve this. No city deserves this treatment.
PPP has purposely destroyed this city.
The political system of this country is flawed because Karachi is being ruled for the past 14 years by a party that it never votes for.
Tweets from PPP apologists after every rain disaster in Khi:
1. I went to place x from place y, and there is no water here.
2. Unprecedented unusual heavy rains. No govt could have done anything.
3. Musharraf made this pull 15 years ago. It's now flooded. Don't blame PPP only.
I think one reason marriage is considered "scary" in this society is because we have made divorce a taboo subject. It's completely okay to separate if things don't work out, but we make it seem like it's the worst thing in the world & there can be no recovery after it.
Most of the Muhajirs (the one who actually migrated in 47) I have interacted with have fiercely defended the creation of Pakistan despite them losing so much during partition. So I did find this scene more of an Indian perspective on partition. My nani would have hated this scene
Most Muslim men will beat up a woman SHO if she asks them to follow the law and then go back to their homes and tell everyone how Islam gives women all the rights.
When Faiz said aur bhi dukh hain zamane me mohabbat ke siwa, rahatain aur bhi hain wasl ki rahat ke siwa & Faraz said ab tera zikr bhi shayad hi ghazal me aae, aur se aur hue dard ke unwan jaanan, the heart reluctantly understood there are bigger tragedies in life than just love.
3 years to the Abhinandan episode and in the discussion that happened post the incident, there was this one post that I really loved and got stuck with me.
May we all look at the world through this lens.
These pathetic Mullahs are trying to show as if they are being tolerant to "forgive her". Notice how they didn't elaborate that it was simple Arabic calligraphy & not a Quranic verse. If they had any fear of God, they would have condemned those who put this woman's life in danger
You guys really be calling women gold diggers when the majority of even progressive families would ask for jahaiz from the girl's family. They will say "khushi se ap ko jo dena hai dain, hum jahaiz nai lete", & expect that her family will buy all the furniture of the room atleast
Tabish Hashmi getting teary eyed while talking about Karachi is the story of all us when we think about the city.
It's painful seeing our city being destroyed systematically while no one speaks for us.
Do remember when BB was assassinated, her bereaved PPP responded to the pain with 'Pakistan Khappay'.
What we see now is a full scale attempt to spill blood on the streets from a man who might just be losing his seat. Not his life, his seat.
Democractic party Vs Fascist
This bill is so comprehensive 👏 Wonderful job done by our lawmakers.
If this actually gets implemented, more than half of Pakistani men would be in jail.
No wonder they are terrified by this.
Unpopular opinion: Ali Sethi, while talented, only got so much popularity in such a short time because he belongs to a very rich and influential family that has many contacts.
Interestingly, the guy denies that he is part of the "elite" in Pakistan.
If you have pissed off these wholesome bunch of players who on normal days can't stop smiling and hugging their opponents, then you must have done/said something really nasty.
If overseas Pakistanis are so important to the govt, why can't they assist more Pakistanis to become "overseas" Pakistanis?
I will send a lot of remittances, promise 🥺
We keep saying that the boys are making mistakes after mistakes & it will affect their image but I don't think they care much about their image anymore (not their most pressing concern, at least). They just want to hold on to their power & want people to obey them. 1/2
Drama idea:
A scene where the hero threatens to kill himself if the woman he loves doesn't marry him, and the woman lets him kill himself instead of being forced to marry such a toxic guy.
The End!
10 years to Humsafar so I would like to say Humsafar was an extremely mediocre drama and had Fawad Khan & Mahira Khan not been in it, the majority wouldn't even have watched it.
This guy in my office who is 5 years younger than me told me everyone from his university batch is getting married and he is stressed out because of that...
Controversial opinion maybe and I absolutely love our team but they need to stop starting tableegh to every foreigner they find.
I am sure our players won't be comfortable if they go to IPL & the players there start preaching them Hinduism.
Pakistani elite living in Bahria Town/DHA, lecturing the poor on their "illegal" houses on Gujjar naala & why they shouldn't get any compensation from the govt.
The irony.
On a happier note, I think the era where the Indian team was far superior to Pakistan is over.
We will see more of such close encounters in the near future.
Came across this picture on Instagram & it just melted my heart. Politics aside, one thing i always admire about this family is that literally everyone is so family oriented. Despite living abroad, the kids still never miss a chance to flaunt & cherish their family values. MA.♥️
Saw that video of a mob willing to lynch a woman for wearing a dress with Arab calligraphy & the ASP saving her.
This country is completely lost. It shows how much we have regressed and unless extreme steps aren't taken, these Mullahs will burn everything down.
Hating on Jinnah has become "cool".
It's easy to criticize him now 75 years post partition. The fact is he never got the change to implement his policies as he passed away 1 year after the creation of Pak. But what he did by creating this country, few men could achieve that.
Pakistan was & will never be an ideological state. Jinnah was an opportunist with no home work- he sold secularism to minorities & Islamic rule to madarsas,till today nobody know wtf he wanted out of this land. His only written work was 14 points which he defied in his life 1/2
CM Sindh - PPP
Solid Waste Management - PPP
Karachi Water & Sewerage Board - PPP
Karachi Development Authority - PPP
Local Bodies Minister - PPP
Mayor has no power (or funds) as PPP has refused to devolve powers to the local body government. Stop lying.
Can't believe all this political circus that is going on in Islamabad today is simply because one man wants an extension at his job and would rather watch his country burn than retire gracefully.
Mandatory tweet every time I visit Malir Cantt:
I hate the place. I absolutely loathe how the military has these barriers that create hassles for civilians. I hate their arrogance. The city is unsafe, so these guys have developed a city within a city & are benefiting out of it.
This is true. They live in Gulshan-e-bagh area of Karachi and everyone living in that area know PCB hasn't given them salary for the past 1 year as well.
Do people like Shahroz even realize that if the Islamic ideology of these murderers is actually implemented in this country, he would be stoned to death for adultery? Also, his entire family's career and earnings would be termed as haraam (cause actors).
Khi is the worst out of all urban cities when it comes to law & order, infrastructure, public transport & disaster mgmt. The majority of areas don't have water or gas.
PPP has been in the govt for 15 straight years.
How does this party get even an ounce of sympathy or support?
Since Murtaza Wahab claims PPP's leadership is from Khi, let me do a thread on the permanent address & constituency of its leadership.
1) Bilawal Bhutto: Permanent address - Larkana
This political propaganda of hate & divisiveness has to end.
#Karachi
is as much ours as anyone else & we dont need a certificate from propagandists. Bilawal, Murad, all our Parliamentarians were born & brought up in Karachi. U may do some research about others
I was waiting to see the forms from ECP because sometimes political parties try to exaggerate claims of their victory. But most of the form 45s shown by the ECP are completely manipulated. PTI was right.
This is so much worse than 2018.
RIP democracy.
