A protest dispersed by firing live ammunition at the protestors is not exactly a flex one should be proud of or a reason to ridicule protestors. Of course they will disperse if you start firing tear gas & live ammunition. Celebrating this or ridiculing protestors is shameful.

You know you have completely lost the plot when you have to fire at protestors numbering thousands in Pakistan. Resign PM Shahbaz Sharif; you are illegitimate to begin with. Stop treating your own citizens like enemies, Army Chief Asim Munir; there are much bigger security changes to be tackled.

Pakistan likely the first country to block access to Bluesky @bsky.app that had just started to emerge as an alternative to X, which has been blocked in the country since February 2024.

On minorities day, we must not forget the pedophilic emergency in Pakistan whereby old men forcefully convert underage girl children from minority faiths to Islam & forcefully marry & rape them with impunity. There must be strong laws criminalising this. www.dawn.com/news/1710205

Failing our minorities

The issue of forced conversions of minority girl children has serious ramifications.
