پوری نسل میں سوچ انجیکٹ کردی گئی ہے کہ سیاستدان کو سنجیدہ نہیں لینا اور ان کی تذلیل و تضحیک نارمل بات ہے۔ عوام کو ان کےنمائندوں سےبدظن کرنےکاسلسلہ کافی عرصہ سےجاری ہے، اب اس نظام سے دل اُچاٹ کرنےکی باری ہے۔

This latest diplomatic spat between #India and #Pakistan is going to play it like it always does. #Pakistan for once needs to go on the offense and actually hammer home the point that listen we try talking every single time and get rebuffed.. That is not on.. that is not OK
For all effective purposes, #Pakistan should seriously consider dropping out of SAARC and take a stand on why it is absolutely useless given how #India genuinely has not tried to make it work. Instead, they opted for Bimstec.
In addition to that, #Pakistan should start making serious overtures to Nepal. There is no longer a single way in to Nepal. Negotiate with the Chinese to have access to the other route in to Nepal and help them out. They have been blackmailed long enough

On 7 Sep 1974 (44 years ago today), Govt of #Pakistan amended the constitution, declaring #Ahmadis as a non-Muslim minority.
In preceding months, dozens of Ahmadis were killed, 1000’s made homeless and millions were under a full socioeconomic boycott.
Here are a few thoughts.
1.Bhutto , after losing half the country had set his sights on international leadership. He had held the OIC in Lahore in Feb 74. Leaders from the Islamic world attended. Bhutto had improved upon his Islamic credentials greatly
But his opponents weren’t happy. They wanted more
2..May 74: a fight broke out at Rabwah (HQ for Ahmadiyya movement) between the students Jamaat Islami and the local Ahmadis. Some JI boys got hurt. Newspapers portrayed it as a great massacre (LIES). It wasn’t a random brawl. Those students were sent to trigger the riots.

If we are to ditch the current education system & redesign it from scratch for #Pakistan w constrained resources & 22 million kids out of school & at least the same number getting sub par education, what r the questions u'd like to ask? Here is my list in no particular order. 1/
1. Are teachers needed? If they are, can we increase their effectiveness while increasing teacher:students ratio to say 1:200?

2. What is the cost break up of educating a child - infrastructure, salaries, utilities, books, etc? 2/
3. Why do v need 10-12 years of generalist education? Can it be shrunk to 3-5 years?

4. Can v replace generalist education in early years with disruptive solutions like Self Organized Learning Environments (SOLEs) where kids discover their interests driven by their curiosity? 3/

Do you know the company that was contracted during #Demonetisation to print our new currency notes #DeLaRue was blacklisted and banned for its involvement with Pakistan in spreading fake currency in India & is being sued in courts after we reported it? greatgameindia.com/secret-world-i…
What we were not told about #Demonetisation was that while Indian govt was cracking a whip on the informal economy the actual black money was already being routed back into India legally via India’s Biggest Scam – #RoundTripping #BlackMoney As #FDI?

1. The condescension & lack of depth of US coverage of #ElectionsPakistan2018 w/ clickbait headlines & Tom Friedmanesque "playboy turned extremist" ledes is unfortunate. The issue isn't criticism of IK but the shallowness of the examination of #Pakistan. We can do better.
2. The WaPo Editorial Board's "#Pakistan’s likely next leader is a Taliban sympathizer" raises some valid concerns about Imran Khan's record. But it glosses over the PMLN's own past & at times verges on an outright defense of Sharif. It then cherrypicks IK's platform.
3. NYT's social media team couldn't resist the juxtaposition of sex symbol, Islamic Republic, & nukes. The writers opened w/ "Is Imran Khan, a legendary cricket player and international sex symbol, about to become the leader of #Pakistan, an Islamic republic with nuclear weapons?

1-The #Awan Brothers.
I haven’t followed the story closely, so I am no expert in the matter. I am just going to give you the highlights along with some sources of information for you to investigate.
But here is what I have:
2-Four brothers: Abid, Jamal, Rao and Imran Awan performed IT for the members of the House of Representatives & were abruptly fired on suspicion that they accessed congressional computers without permission. Hina Alvi, Imram Awan’s wife is also involved &likely a second wife too
3-According to various sources, they stole a bunch of equipment, which is the least of the problem. They have access to a lot of classified information, including war on terrorism and what not. What did they do with that information?

Thread : Men from Pakistani intelligence agency ISI visited my elderly parents in Pakistan yesterday 20th June. They said loud and clear that they have orders to abduct and torture my father and attack my family to teach me a lesson. This is not the first incident.
Previously, they visited my family on 10th of may and said that they have orders to abduct my sisters, parents and brother. They also talked to me on phone. In May, they also threatened my mother directly.
They said ask Waqass to ShutUp. Don’t tweet or write and no activity at-least till the elections.

#QAnon

This short thread will incorporate #Q's messaging to EXPLAIN why #HRC, #Traitor44, #Brennan, and others who are part of the #DeepState/#Coup are still walking the streets. There is an necessary ORDER to things:
1. Neutralize the threat.
2. Neutralize the orgs.
3. Arrest!
#Q has used a form of the word protect 53 times. The overridding context has been that the #Cabal has used the #Threat against US (#WWIII, #NuclearThreat, #FaleFlags) as protection, as in a hostage threat. #Q's 1st order of business has been to protect/safeguard US.
Reread early #Q:

1. Story of Mr. X "architect of #ColdWar"
The advises of Mr X to The US will
always be helpful to us from #JNU to #Pakistan to #Kathua

This is the STORY of a person #Lost_in_the_pages_of_history

I PROMISE by the end of the #RightFactsThread you'll have #Goosebumps 🙏🙏
2. This person is known to the world as #Mr_X for decades thanks to an ARTICLE he wrote in @ForeignAffairs (july 1946) with the pen name of Mr. X

His real name was #GeorgeKenan the US ambassador to erstwhile Soviet Union in 1940s

The article was an excerpt of his LONG TELEGRAM
3. The #LongTelegram as it's known was shot back in The US gave 2 things:

👉 Geopolitical reality post WWII
👉he proposed that the US should adopt the strategy of “containment”—not conventional warfare

His other advises in his #LongTelegram r directly relevant in Indian context

1/? Today Mark Zuckerberg testifies before the Senate Judiciary and Commerce Committee (Live stream here: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/faceb…). We have a few questions we'd like to #AskZuck..
2/? Why do privacy settings continue to only focus on what friends can & can't see? If the recent FB scandal has showed one thing, it's that FB's ad policies have far-reaching consequences for users privacy. When are you going to treat ad settings as privacy settings? #AskZuck
3/? We created a new FB profile to test default settings. By default, everyone can see your friends list & look you up using the phone number you provided. This is not what proactive privacy protections look like. How does this protect users by design / by default? #AskZuck

We earlier looked at love of #RahulGandhi and his party #Congress for the independence of Judiciary. Let’s look at their love for #ArmedForces Of #India
We had OROP in place for 26 years since independence. Three years after the great Military victory over Pakistan, and 6 Months After retirement of #SamManekshaw the hero of 71 war who gave the most illustrious victory, OFOP was scrapped in 73 by #Congress Govt of Indira Gandhi
This also came with the scrapping of separate pay commission for Armed forces.

Who are these two foreign pilots flying around Indian PM in the #seaplane? Shouldn't this be a security issue? Or is it normalization of things to come? Stay tuned for our <thread> on the issue.
2 Is a Prime Minister allowed to fly aboard a single engine aircraft as per GoI protocol? What about one that is flown by foreign pilots? Why cant this #SeaPlane been flown by IAF pilots? More than any protocols entire Indian military is being bypassed here, what does that mean?
3 So the #seaplane in which our PM was flown in came directly from Pakistan & was flown by foreign pilots! And our Indian security forces allowed that???

This is the sorry state of Indian security establishment. Havent they learned anything from #HomiBhabha assassination?

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
