Who had thought Trump would trust Asim Munir more than Benjamin Netanyahu! #IranWar






This has been a roller coaster month both nationally and personally. The level of threat post #Pehelgam to our beloved homeland and the subsequent incidents are all now part of our history but on a personal front , since 24th April , my beloved mother has been hospitalised and in these days , there were many times she was critical and in ICU, but my duty as a daughter to my mother and to my motherland never deterred and they both continued side by side. On the fateful night when #India decided to send missiles to Pakistan's bases , I was at #PAF hospital with my mother going through tests to determine what was happening. All night, I was oscillating between continuous reporting of the unfolding events, with one hand holding my phone and the other holding my mother's hand. Pakistan is personal for all of us but PAF bases are one step ahead. Places where I have spent my childhood, where my father trained and served all his life, where my father is burried, where I still live, the attack on them was an attack on my heart, on the other hand my mother's reports were not looking good. Around dawn as I prayed tahajjud and did dua both for mother and my motherland , the doc didn't give me good news. I wanted to switch off my phone but my mother held my hand tightly, "no, you will not stop. You will do your job for Pakistan", so with tears in my eyes I started reporting again. My personal pain could not stop me from feeling the surge of pride for my Armed forces as after praying fajar, the proud lions announced the retaliation and embarked on the journey Bayyan Marsoos. I was thinking my siblings and I are here for my mother, but look how these brave sons are there for my motherland, so poignant were those moments with most heartfelt dua for our brave soldiers. While reporting on the events, the closeness to Almighty was uncanny. I was standing in the balcony of the hospital all day reporting on the events, in between consulting with doctors. Prayers and hard work resulted in the completion of the day with a ceasefire offer from India. It took many days more for my mother to be outside the ICU, many doctors and staff have my gratitude for their untiring work. Today as she is out of danger Alhamdulillah , my country is still facing lurking threats from the coward enemy. The attack on Balochistan on young kids is a naked warning of the ugliness of our combined enemy. Life is not always about winning or losing, it's about being at the right side of the history. Pakistan is at the right side of the history. Pakistan was always a great country but the present military leadership has shown we don't flinch in the darkness of danger. We believe in Allah and act accordingly. Pakistan zindabad and everyone please pray for my mother for a full recovery Aameen.


Gaza is soaked in the blood of innocents and humanity is being slaughtered in Palestine, yet these conscience-selling journalists are obsessed with their "cheap liberalism" and craving for foreign validation. It is nauseating to see these giggle fits and paan-shop stunts while mothers in Gaza are gathering the remains of their children. This is nothing but intellectual slavery the world is on fire, and you are seeking a medal for hospitality by feeding a foreigner. Both your journalism and your conscience have been sold out at that street corner.
