Our mother–daughter chill time became too chill… thanks to that mango sago and the cold outside. 😄 ❄️

Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech was powerful, emotional, and full of purpose. This man knows what to say and when to say it — his words touch hearts and awaken hope. When he asked New York to breathe in that moment because the city had been reborn.

History made: Zohran Mamdani is New York City’s next mayor. He has shattered barriers as the first Muslim, first South Asian, and first immigrant in nearly 140 years to hold this office. A milestone not just for NYC—but for every community long underrepresented in leadership.

History was made in Virginia tonight. Abigail Spanberger will be the first woman governor after 74 consecutive male governors, while Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Muslim-American woman elected lieutenant governor. Two historic victories.

Today, the Minara-tul-Masih was inaugurated in New York by the National President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA. As I watched, I thought of those minarets of Ahmadis’ mosques being torn down in my homeland. May Pakistan one day uphold the freedom Islam truly safeguards.

Veteran Indian actor Asrani passes away. Grew up watching him in every other film; that voice, those expressions, that perfect comic timing. An entire era of laughter & innocence gone with him. Some actors don’t just entertain, they become part of your childhood. Rest in peace.

TLP terrorists attack another Ahmadi place of worship in Karachi, blocking Ahmadis from offering Jumma prayers. While Ramadan unites the world in faith and compassion, Pakistan’s state & mullahs spend it hunting Ahmadis, making their already miserable lives even worse. Shame.

Salman Taseer remains the only politician who stood against blasphemy laws, defending the marginalized at great personal cost. Today, we see none willing to follow his path. Instead, many thrive on selling religious bigotry & fanning the flames of division. #DeathAnniversary

While the world reaches for the stars & India soars in economy & science, Pakistan's latest 'achievement' is exhuming an Ahmadi from his grave in Rawalpindi. Religious minorities endure persecution & violence every day. This is the 'progress' of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The persecution of Ahmadis continues. Ameer Hassan, 40, was shot dead in Mirpurkhas Sindh today while returning from Fajr prayer. His 12 yr old son witnessed the horror. He leaves behind a widow & 5 minor children & a community under constant threat.

Heartbreaking news from Rawalpindi: Tayyab Ahmad, a 40 year old Ahmadi, was brutally murdered with an axe due to his faith. In the land of the pure, Ahmadis are not even second-class citizens. They are victims of state-sponsored persecution. How can justice be hoped for?

Unbelievable! Hours after dozens of innocent protestors were butchered on your command, instead of declaring national mourning, you chose to issue heartless statements. This blatant apathy mirrors Netanyahu’s cold indifference. Mark my words: you will never find peace.

Shooting at your own people and throwing them off containers during protests is the ultimate act of brutality & oppression—a shameful and criminal response by any regime. This deserves the strongest condemnation. #Islamabad_Massacre

حیرت ہے کہ موقع پر گولی مارنے کے احکامات صرف مخالف سیاسی قوتوں کے خلاف ہی کیوں جاری کئے جاتے ہیں۔ جب مذہبی انتہا پسند جتھے اور دہشت گرد ٹی ایل پی ملک میں آگ لگاتے پھرتے ہیں، ریاست کی رٹ کھلے عام چیلنج کرتے ہیں انہیں ہزار ہزار کے نوٹ دئے جاتے ہیں۔ پارہ چنار میں دہشت گردی پر بھی مکمل خاموشی چھائی رہی

ٹی ایل پی دہشت گرد آدھی رات تک موترہ پولیس سٹیشن، ڈسکہ میں بیٹھے پولیس کو دھمکاتے رہے کہ احمدیوں کے خلاف ایف آئی آر درج کی جائے اور ایف آئی آر درج کروا کر ہی اٹھے۔ حملہ آور بھی خود ہوئے اور مقدمہ الٹا احمدیوں پر ہو گیا۔ یہ ہے ریاست پاکستان کی حقیقت!

Today TLP terrorists attacked an Ahmadi place of worship in Kot Karam Bakhsh, Tehsil Daska. They warned police to demolish it last week. The Govt stays silent, busy extending their terms & serving its masters, ignoring Ahmadis & Shias. The situation is still alarming.

Peshawar (KP): A mob surrounds a police station, demanding the handover of a blasphemy accused. When the state enables mobs to act as judge, jury, and executioner, justice dies—along with humanity.
