What’s happening in Karachi’s schools—children being taught to lynch people—is a direct result of the #mullahmilitaryalliance's influence!
The joy in these kids’ faces as they learn such brutality highlights the deep corruption of the system.

28% of #Pakistani children aged 5–16 are out of school. In Balochistan, it's 45%; in #Sindh, 39%. A country obsessed with political power struggles still cannot get millions of its children into classrooms. #Pakistan
#Bangladesh and #Pakistan once stood at similar levels of poverty. Today, Bangladesh has moved ahead through investment in girls' education, women's empowerment and family planning. #Pakistan's failure is not a lack of examples; it's a lack of priorities.
#Pakistan promises unconditional support to Saudi Arabia, then draws red lines over #Yemen. Apparently, Islamabad's defence commitments come with terms and conditions. Strategic partnership, #Pakistani edition! #Pakistan 2/
Bonded labour is modern-day slavery. In #Pakistan, poverty, debt and feudal power trap entire families in generations of exploitation. Children grow up in brick kilns and farms, working for a fraction of the legal minimum wage. 1/

In #Sindh, 1,311 labourers were rescued from brick kilns and farms in 2025. But abuse, torture, forced marriages and sexual exploitation persist, with perpetrators often protected by political and law-enforcement networks. 3/
#Pakistan cannot call itself humane while generations remain trapped in debt bondage. Laws on paper mean little when the state fails to enforce them and protect those most vulnerable. 4/
#Pakistan’s education system has mastered rote learning: memorise, reproduce, pass, forget. Critical thinking sounds great in policy documents, but classrooms still reward students for remembering answers rather than questioning them. 1/

Islamiat and #Pakistan Studies are often taught as facts to memorise, not ideas to debate. After years of such schooling, Pakistan wonders why students struggle with critical thinking. Perhaps the classroom is the problem. 2/
#Pakistan wants innovators and critical thinkers, but its education system often rewards conformity and memorisation. You cannot build a questioning society by teaching children that the “correct answer” matters more than the right question. 3/
England and Wales’ policing system is “heading for failure”, according to Met chief Sir Mark Rowley. 1/

His solution: replace 43 overstretched police forces with 8–10 larger regional forces backed by local commands and a new National Police Service. 2/
Caution Advised!
#PakistaniArmy turned machine guns and heavy weapons against its own unarmed citizens at Umar-e-Farooq Chowk in Rawalakot, forfeiting all moral legitimacy. 1/

Deploying live combat forces against civilian rights movements in #PoK isn't national defense—it’s an occupying force destroying the nation from within. 2/
#PakistanAgainstKashmir
Isolation for the brother, solitary confinement and denial of basic medical care for the sister. When a military establishment resorts to torturing and silencing senior women like Noreen Niazi under #AsimMunir's law, it doesn’t display strength—it exposes fear.

Journalists across Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad are protesting against 2007 emergency, PECA, censorship & worsening press freedom.
In #Pakistan, remembering when the Constitution was suspended is itself becoming a dangerous habit. @VeengasJ 1/

In 2007, Musharraf suspended the Constitution and cracked down on the media. Today, journalists say they face dismissals, censorship, PECA cases and restrictions on access. Different decade, familiar playbook. 2/
The journalists who once protested military rule are again protesting restrictions on speech and media access. But #Islamabad can keep calling it “democracy”—because apparently the only thing freer than the press is the government’s imagination. 3/
