  1. My op-ed on SMBenazir Bhutto and how she passed many birthdays in jail or incarceration. It was not a life burnished by privilege, quite the contrary. It was a life seared by tragedy, hard choices and a courageous resilience that became her constant normal

  2. So Modi Govt suddenly found Pk Govt “evil” over a stamp issued on 24July, and a Kashmir killing ruse. Weak diversion from 1) domestic crisis over and ; 2) anxiety over earlier report and session where Delhi may have to defend Kashmir atrocities

  5. Sometimes the task of mitigation seems too big to handle. Have a conversation about climatechange with someone you live or work with. Because ultimately, one conversation at a time is how we’re going to turn widespread awareness and concern into meaningful action.

  8. Shame that on India has refused to talk peace with Pakistan in even a routine manner at the on the sidelines of the General Assembly. Running from talks won’t change the fact that this time Indian repression in Kashmir has been noticed in a UN report

  10. The Pak India foreign ministers meeting on the sidelines of UNGA should be welcomed but not burdened/misread with a slew of expectations.The Indians are at pains to distance it from dialogue. Why is it so difficult for Delhi to even talk about talks?

  11. Citing John Stuart Mill’s classic defense of free speech,which US Supreme CourtJustice Oliver Wendell Holmes later called the “freedom for the thought that we hate,”the liberty to debate and dissent was/is encouraged, yet as a value is under pressure in many countries

    Strongly condemn the grenade attack on former Malik Tahmash Khan house. PPP Jiyala can’t be threatened by these type of cheap acts. PPP stands with Tahmash Khan.

  13. So the message to people who pay tax is that they should not bother, or bear the burden, as those who don’t file can still buy expensive property AND cars AND remain excempt!

  16. Massive gasprice rise before minibudget by a Govt that severely and regularly lashed out at gas prices.When we used to tell them in Committee not to mislead people as these prices are unsustainable, and will have to be rationalised the PTI would not listen. Now 143 percent hike!

    Sen lambasted the govt on the floor of the House for blatantly bypassing both Houses on the gas price hike issue, saying, "This is a dangerous decision coming from a party who themselves opposed gas price hikes in the past".
