Okay so my agreeable, non confrontational, anxious personality doesn't allow me to correct people when they mispronounce my name to avoid that brief awkward moment, so I'll just address it indirectly: it's Asra, not Isra 🙃

What's better than putting up my name and picture is that I should just show up directly at FIA offices and ask them to cornhole me.

It's really easy to call someone a choopa master while hiding behind an anonymous account. Put on your own picture and name - then say the same. But we all know you won't do that. @Shehzad89 is making a genuine factual argument. twitter.com/LahoriElite/st…

So it took the boys 10 months to realize propping up PDM was a failed move? After sending the country 10 years back in every sense? Or were we deliberately pushed into this crisis to make room for their technocrats? Either way, super fucked up to play with lives of 220 million.

Why is everyone suddenly writing against PDM? What's up?
Quote Tweet
Editorial: "The PDM is losing its democratic credentials in its obsession with defeating Imran by any means. Before the PDM crosses a line it may find difficult to return to, it must stop hindering the political process and let democracy take its course." dawn.com/news/1728847

If someone did not have a meeting, it is easy to deny them. Very simple questions for you, instead of calling a journalist a 'conspiracy thoerist': - Did you ever have a meeting with Bajwa? - Did you accept money from Gov of Pakistan? - For what purpose? All this is documented.

I refuse to dignify conspiracy theories involving me, however elaborate, with a response. Why should I deny meetings I did not have, things I did not do, & plans I did not make just because of some conspiracy theorist’s tweets & rants? 🤔😊

Cricket was one thing this country had to give us hope and they've taken that away too now. Looks like just another petty govt account run by PDM.

Replying to @AVeteran1956
Sir thats why we all stood rock solid snd supported them. But if they will call shots against our institution and officers/Generals who r more patriotic than them, we will roll back support and they will face our wrath.

If a finance minister has to say that it's usually not a good sign.

BREAKING: Finance Minister Ishaq Dar Wednesday assured investors at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) that Pakistan will not default, adding that despite serious problems, the country “will not approach the Paris Club”. #Pakistan

The fact that AQ is simping for Haqqani reveals more information than he thinks. There was a time when AQ told me Haqqani is a traitor. What caused this flip? Also strange, none of these ppl are responding directly to me even tho i broke this story 🤣
Quote Tweet
The audio leaks show @ImranKhanPTI enjoys creative imagination. But @husainhaqqani as the architect of political power in #Pakistan is both a testament to former Amb's political genius and a sign that a desperate Khan is running out of people to bash to stay relevant in the news. twitter.com/husainhaqqani/…

How many PMLN and PPP supporters' houses were raided by authorities during PTI tenure? I'm just going to laugh at these disingenuous 'journalists' and move on. Ye la ilaaj hain.
Quote Tweet
Friends in PTI have woken up to realities of oppression, intimidation ham-handedness. While in power, they cheered on when their critics were at the receiving end. Now, they have intensified the us vs them debate. Wiser path was to find political consensus against such practices.

Oh sod off. Police wasn't arresting random citizens for laughing at a minister. Or for making memes. It's not even with political workers, anybody who is criticising is getting threatened and all journalists like you are enabling it.

The US senators approved a sweeping annual spending package, allocating $200 million for gender equality and strengthening democracy in Pakistan. Pakistan's allocation is under the US fund for gender equality, which is a 20-fold increase from the funds reserved in 2020. #USPak

'Problem' with Pakistani middle class is that they've emotional attachment with Pakistan. The decisions they make are often influenced by it. Ruling elite -civil or non civil- has no such attachment. This is like business as usual for them. Middle class needs to change attitude.

Aren't we glad Jinnah isn't alive today to see this..
Quote Tweet
If Jinnah was alive today he would not have used a free ka guestroom for something at the age of 70 years, which could have been done within four walls of own house. Comparing a Senator having a shoddy past & present,corrupt practices,with Jinnah is the lowest PTI walaz can stoop twitter.com/Non_graata/sta…

Ignoring the deliberate overlooking of IK celebrating Christmas with Christian community yesterday & the fact that Shahbaz couldn’t give a damn about the minorities and it’s just Bosnia earning his keep, let’s look into who Shahbaz isn’t a PM of.

"There is no power on earth that can undo Pakistan." When #QuaidEAzam said this, he did not mean for us to take it as a challenge. Sorry Jinnah for what we've done to this country, for continuing to take it for granted. This isn't the Pakistan you imagined for us. 💔
