I’m in love with the work of our 4th semester student!! Ayesha Bhatti, You absolutely ROCK! Thank you for showcasing the School of Integrated Social Sciences, University of Lahore 🥰 The coolest bunch in town 😎🙌💕
I would like to thank
@ImranKhanPTI
and
@SMQureshiPTI
for providing an opportunity to academics like me to become part of the advisory council on foreign affairs.This was the first time any government in Pakistan had engaged academics for their input into foreign policymaking🙏🇵🇰
I fail to understand how Islamabad was safe when Pakistan evacuated 32+ nationalities from Afghanistan and brought them over, and is unsafe for NZ cricket team all of a sudden. There's more here than meets the eye. Pakistan must not let this issue slide. We should demand answers.
I stand for Democracy in Pakistan. As a citizen of Pakistan, I would want the current Prime Minister Imran Khan to complete his term and let the nation decide on his re-election in 2023. Let's rise above our differences and let him complete his term. Let's play fair
#PMIK
Thank you for your services for Pakistan
@YusufMoeed
You went beyond the call of duty and have been one of the best NSA’s in the history of Pakistan. God bless you. Onwards and upwards. Here’s to looking at your second term. 🙏🇵🇰
My Dad after watching my interview:
"1. Why do you have such a SMALL portrait of Jinnah in your office? 2. Why is the Pakistan flag so SMALL? 3. Their placement in your office isn't right.What's wrong with you? And you teach proportionality of response to your students?" 🤐
Imran Khan has come out shining against his political opponents, taking a pledge from this nation of telling the world that #امپورٹڈ_حکومت_نامنظور How do you fight someone who has got nothing to lose?Someone who says his life is not more important than our FREEDOM? 🇵🇰First.Always
India leaves 1000 sq km, China gets to stay.
India leaves Kavkaz 2020, China and Pakistan get to play. India leaves SCO NSAs meeting, Pakistan gets the room.
India left SAARC.
India leaves SCO.
India leaves Ladakh.
India leaves J&K.
Give it until 2025?
McLoving the pattern
Personal news: Promoted as Professor of IR in the School of Integrated Social Sciences, University of Lahore. Grateful for all my blessings. Feels like top of the world 🙏
This is huge!And yes, historic. The joint statement released at the Putin-Xi Summit, introduces to the world a powerful duo which will become a force to be reckon with. The wording of the joint statement is the most interesting and blunt, which is refreshing for a change. Read on
There are many doctored videos and images out there to make you believe that Pakistan is at the verge of civil war. Please use your better judgement and don't forward fake news, videos and images. The digital soldiers are proxies used to project an illusion of civil war.Pls relax
Did I just waste 51 days of my life in quarantine just so we could all go out and party from May 9th onwards as if we are suddenly COVID-19 immune and wise?
@LockdownEnd
1. Imran Khan's 'absolutely not' statement was an answer to a 'what if' question! It was NOT a statement of already having said NO to the US. There's a difference. 2. Interference via cable leading to démarche not denied. That cable is not fiction.
I'm happy to announce, I've been promoted to Associate Professor in the School of Integrated Social Sciences
@ULahore
I want to thank those who've been by my side and those I've never met but been cheering for me from the sidelines,for your support & encouragement all these yrs🙏
What we wanted from this particular meeting:
1. That this meeting be convened.Done.
2. That India's claim be nullified that this is India's internal matter. Done.
3. That Pakistan's position on K is vindicated. Done.
4. That UN dusts its resolutions and bring them to life. Done
No surprise here on UAE-Israel deal. A country which awarded Modi the highest civilian award on Aug 24'19 with complete and utter shameless disregard of his Aug 5th actions, is incapable of empathy for human suffering be it of Kashmiris or Palestinians.
Here I am presenting my book to Amb. Asad Majeed Khan when he wasn’t making headlines 😎 May God bless Pakistan and may we as a nation survive this current crisis and have the leadership we deserve to go forward chin up. Have a blessed month 🙏🇵🇰
Landed in Quetta for a lecture I’m delivering at the School of Infantry and Tactics. My first visit to the incredible city and the beautiful province of Balochistan. Can’t wait to explore it. 🙌🇵🇰
#PMImranKhan
speaks to his nation, reminds us of our responsibility, asks us why are we OK with paying for the sins of the corrupt political elite, calls for introspection. You can see that the man is hurt and wants the best for Pakistan. You just can't fake this passion 🇵🇰
He was brilliant. Brutally honest. A new chapter of dignified Pak-U.S. relationship will begin under his leadership based on mutual trust and respect. As a Pakistani, I feel proud today, chin up.
He has the right to criticize anyone or anything, Prof. Kirmani, just like you and I have the right to choose sides. Even if I don't agree with anything he says, I'll never take the floor away from him to say what he has to. That's what differentiates academics from terrorists.
@Rabs_AA
@Sauliloquy1
He’s best known for his apologist writings on empire, & from his twitter feed it seems he is consistently criticising BLM & the protesters regarding the
#StatuesMustFall
movement. It’s bad enough he’s being hosted; worse if you ignore these problematic positions.
Problem kya hai? That TB won back Afghanistan and ended 20 yrs of foreign occupation? That Pakistan is for once looking to secure its own national interests the only way it should by putting itself first and no one else? That China is positive about working with the TB?
The best thing that came out of
#swiftretort
was witnessing heartbreak of some scholars & journos who thought Pakistan was predictable given its nuclear thresholds, behaviour & posturing. It wasn't only GOI that miscalculated Pakistan's response.They all did.Well played, Pakistan
Well said by Dr. Moeed Yusuf. May I ask
@Wabbasi007
what's your definition of 'aag bagola' and 'foreign national'? Cos he didn't lose his cool, and he isn't a foreign national. So either you lack understanding of basic issues OR you are exaggerating to get hits. It's a cheap shot

Guess I spoke too soon. Now wrapping up 2018. Honoured and humbled to be part of PM's Advisory Council on Foreign Affairs. Looking forward to serving my country in this capacity. Pakistan Zindabad. 🇵🇰
Today I will be speaking at the NATO Defence College, Rome giving a 'strategic overview of Pakistan' to the NDC Senior Course 140 comprising 74 military officers and gov officials from 34 countries. 🇵🇰 has its challenges but I have no doubt that we will survive them gracefully.
Happening Now: Giving lecture at NATO Defence College, presenting a strategic overview about Pakistan. 77 officers from around the globe are part of the Senior Course 141 at NDC, Rome.
I was invited to speak at the prestigious School of Infantry and Tactics, Quetta on 'The Importance of Scholarship and Research for War Practitioners'. 1000 + officers attended led by Commandant Maj. Gen. Shahid Imtiaz, a soldier-scholar, it was a pleasure meeting him.
Men like
#DrAbdulQadeerKhan
do not die. Surely they pass on because they are mortal, but his commitment, dedication and love for Pakistan, the inspiration itself will live on in each of us as long as Pakistan is breathing. Thank you for your incredible services for Pakistan. 🙏🇵🇰
Excited about my first lecture at NATO Defense College on 4 Jan to address (online) Senior Course on “Pakistan”. Will be giving a strategic overview of the key security-related issues confronting Pakistan, geostrategic import and its primary foreign,defense and security policies
Pakistan at 73, knows what it wants and from whom. Pakistan of 2020 is no longer the Pakistan of the 90s. Change your lens or you will continue to misinterpret Pakistan's national security interests and its regional moves as zero sum. Pakistan will not become anyone's colony.
Pakistan’s reliance on China continues to grow & bereft of other major partners around the world, Beijing’s control over Pakistan is likely to be total very soon. It is for Pakistan to decide if it is prepared to exist as a colony of China, says Harsh Pant:

I am so glad that Pakistan did the presser on the dossier. I would demand that it be released to scholars, experts and academics so that we take the word forward and make RAW a household name for the Indian state sponsored terrorism in Pakistan. Enough of this BS one-way framing!
The ISPR chief says the India dossier "has been taken very seriously by the international community. The world has taken note of it, the world is talking about it...." Actually, beyond media coverage, it doesn't appear to have made many waves globally.
There is only one way to stop this nonsense speculation: Pakistan should offer Afghanistan extended nuclear deterrence and bring it in its nuclear umbrella. Cheers.
Such a shame that Pakistan's FM's remarks
@SMQureshiPTI
are being termed as antisemitic when all he did was talk about Israel's lobby and how it influences US foreign policy, which is a fact and not antisemitic slur! Israel has nukes and it has a lobby.Let's not ghost these facts
I see some people trying to defend the Pakistani foreign minister’s remarks as anti-Israeli & not anti-Semitic but let’s be clear: if you are accusing Israelis of having ‘deep pockets’ and ‘controlling’ the media, then yeah, you’re invoking some pretty anti-Semitic slurs. Sorry.
Mashallah, my mother after much persuasion, got her first dose of vaccination. I'm super impressed by the seamless process. Civil defence workers recieved her from the car and put her in a wheel chair and got all the process done in under 10 mins. Thank you
@GovtofPakistan
3. 'NSC didn't endorse conspiracy in its statement', that's nothing new. To establish conspiracy, investigation is required which takes time. Conspiracy was never determined only speculated. Pls stick to facts. Too much polarization does Pakistan no good
How much more proof does the world need of the sheer hypocrisy with which India maneuvers to paint Pakistan in a negative light and generate a false narrative to isolate it. Now it stands exposed. Add to the hall of shame Pakistan's dossier on Indian state sponsored terrorism.
Anybody in Pakistan still wants to invite him to their shows and webinars and discuss South Asian politics? Clearly shows how out of depth he is and severely handicapped when it comes to understanding Pakistan. Let's promote our own analysts and stop using this gora filler. 'Nuff
Pakistan must confront not only the threat of a resurgent, emboldened TTP-still based in Afghanistan-but also the reality of a state & society that continues to provide an enabling environment for the types of extremist views that galvanize both the Afghan and Pakistani Talibans.
For someone who has looked at the archival evidence in foreign libraries, examined thousands of declassified documents and things documented therein through official cables, I have no doubt that such conversations exist, such threats are made and conveyed in no ambiguous terms.
@Rabs_AA
So Ma'am you too believe in the letter? What if turns ambassador's personal assesment? Isn't it damaging for our relations with the one. If yes God forbid we may can turn battlefield for powers.

Looking forward to delivering a lecture at NATO Defense College on Monday, Nov 27th, addressing the Senior Course 143 comprising 83 military officers and government officials from 35 countries on a strategic overview of the key security-related issues confronting Pakistan 👇
This is absolutely unacceptable propaganda which needs to be countered at the highest level. The video shows Mirpur Azad Kashmir and the tagline is 'POK wapas lana hai'. This shows how frustrated and sick the BJP ruling elite is. Such a Shame. Pls see
@ForeignOfficePk
@pid_gov
This is outrageous! A BJP propaganda film is shown as a news story in the Indian media.
The clip explains how India's ruling aims and plans to seize Mirpur, the largest city in Kashmir territory, Pakistan.
"To ensure Khan has support of at least his lawmakers, Pakistan’s spy agency has been asked to monitor their movement and secure their presence in parliament on Saturday, according to officials with knowledge of the information."
Moving back to Lahore, folks. My mother had an asthmatic attack and wanted to go back to Lahore. Will be joining back the University of Lahore. Please pray for my mother's health. She is a trooper and feeling better. I will be relocating in next two weeks. Bring it 2021. 💞
A country, where its govt and its army are so afraid of a handful of people that they have had them locked up for a YEAR now, is happy they got new jets. Should've ordered balls instead, much more useful. Let Kashmiris out on August 5, 2020. Face them. Free them.
#YoumeIstehsal
My only fear with the 'collective West' arming Ukraine to fight Russia is Putin raising the bar and retaliating with full military might which isn't at display now. And when that will happen, the 'collective West' won't be there to bear the brunt, only the Ukrainians will suffer.

@nidkirm
there are so many shades of historians. Traditionalists, Revisionists, neo-revisionists, that's how the Cold War history was brought to us over the decades. As an academic, one should engage with all of them with an open mind. Judgement is not my call. Research is.
I consider myself very lucky to have known some great men in my life. But I was born to the greatest there ever is, My Dad. I'm a better person cos he has taught me to be one. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there who are there for their children, presence matters. 💕
It gives me immense pleasure to announce that I'll be joining the advisory board of the first think tank on Kashmir. Grateful to the PM of Azad Jammu & Kashmir
@farooq_pm
for establishing the 'Kashmir Policy Research Institute'. Looking fwd to continuing our work on Kashmir.
My appeal to all Pakistanis: Pls don't misunderstand and misrepresent facts about UNSC consultative meeting on Aug 16th. Pls share widely. No one is being lied to. Try and get your facts right.
@pid_gov
@ForeignOfficePk
I wonder why is the same question not being asked about the U.S. for being responsible for human rights violation of millions of Afghans left to fend for themselves in the worst humanitarian crisis of their lives, fleeing their country after sucking their blood for 20 yrs?

@YusufMoeed
to have Pakistan's official map displayed at the meeting and stating Pakistan's position unapologetically. IIOJK is disputed and not a part of India. The sooner India accepts this reality, the better it would be for all of us to work towards solution.
Today, Pakistan stood steadfast against Indian attempts to politicise another multilateral forum during the SCO, NSA dialogue chaired by Russia. After a test call three days earlier, India had raised objections to the display of Pakistan’s new political map in the background..
Unilaterally changed status of disputed Kashmir, altering maps to include AJ&K and GB wouldn't change the reality of Kashmir. Brace up for the long haul. Calling it internal matter doesn't make it internal matter.
#OICInPakistan
When it comes to scapegoating Pakistan for the mess in Afghanistan,the world takes the lead. Well done,Pakistan, for taking the lead in reminding the world that politics must be delinked from humanitarian assistance and that humanity must reign supreme
#Afghanistan
Speculations galore,MK. Please join dots by all means, but this simplistic approach to such complex affairs decreases our collective IQ on Twitter. Making broad generalizations and sweeping statements based on what meets the 'eye' (pun intended) does not add any value to analysis
The Pakistani ISI chief came to Kabul at a moment when there were internal Taliban disputes over the formation of its new government. Then, just like that, the new Taliban government was announced. I think we have a clear indication of 1 reason why he made his visit when he did.
This could very well be Pakistan's Khomeni moment - a transformative, "once in a life-time" paradigmatic shift akin to the rebirth of a nation. People of Pakistan want to enter a new social contract by forever rejecting dynastic politics & endemic corruption!
I didn't want to wait until you were 40 or had white hair to find you worthy of this position. You've earned this title through your sheer hard work, professionalism, dedication & compassion.Congrats

With her last address at the UNGA third committee yesterday, Amb. Maleeha Lodhi deserves a standing ovation from the Pakistani nation for representing us with such brilliance and grace at the UN. We thank you Madam Ambassador, for your incredible service to Pakistan
@LodhiMaleeha
Pakistan is standing on the right side of history, standing with the people of Kashmir whose fundamental freedoms have been usurped by the fascist Modi. Thank you, Madam Amb
@LodhiMaleeha
for representing us so well on every forum. We are in for the long haul

Wow. Huge news. China-Iran strategic partnership $400billion over 25 years finalised. Iran drops India from Chabahar rail project citing funding delays. Can you imagine the dividends of Pakistan-China-Iran synergy in the region? Go figure 🤘😎
Big story by
@suhasinih
.
"The development comes as China finalises a massive 25-year, $400 billion strategic partnership deal with Iran, which could cloud India’s plans."
The Indian Army which is quick to shoot off pellets on unarmed Kashimiris in IOJK, finds no use of pellet guns against the Chinese. Try it, they might work better than fists and clubs. After all these years of brutality unleashed against the Kashmiris, you still lack courage!
India has taken a seat in the UNSC for the 2021-22 term as a non-perm member, let’s not let the Indians and the world forget that this largest democracy stands for anything but human rights and is the biggest violator of fundamental values of democracy.
I am proud of Amb. Dr.

for standing by his words and not compromising on the integrity of his position, reflective of his character. My book also carries many declassified 'maraslas' testament of the 'madakhlat' on our nuclear program. Free ebook
Presenting my book to H.E. Ambassador of Pakistan to the US, Dr. Asad M Khan. One of Pakistan's finest diplomats. It was an absolute pleasure meeting
@asadmk17
and discussing some contemporary issues.
Those who built careers writing India is a responsible nuclear state, a celebrated democracy, a status quo power, need to burn their writings.India is an irresponsible NWS, 'll be the first to use NWs in South Asia,is a revisionist state & soon it'll declare itself a Hindu state.
The State did not fail. The State is not an apologist. The State captured Kulbhushan Jadhav & BLA terrorists associated with him. The State is not obligated to tell you how it plans to counter terrorism. Jes cos one knows how to write 'recrimination', doesn't mean it fits.
@syedalizia1992
This is continuation of what others should do. Waiting for him to tell me what Pakistan is planning to do, where our state failed and will not fail in the future. If anyone’s apologists here, it’s our state.
