Why, in the world's largest democracy, are Hindu mobs attacking their Muslim neighbors? Who emboldened them? Listen/read my 6-part series on Hindu nationalism, reported last year and ever more relevant today: npr.org/series/7257740…

Love to see gutsy women flocking together. @GretaThunberg @Malala

Wow! @chrislhayes did not hold back his anger tonight: “While President Trump was in India this is what it looked like in Delhi ... violence unleashed on Muslim-majority neighborhoods...police standing by as Muslims were beaten and attacked.”

Former Pakistani Foreign Minister @HinaRKhar calls India a 'rogue state': "India is now becoming the bully for the entire region." My interview for @GZEROMedia: bit.ly/2SUyB59

Lawyers wre waiting fr people detained from Khureji protest...whn a cop strtd recrdng & taking pictures When we objected, sr officer stepped in. We were ghearoed & lathicharged. Male police roughed up female lawyers @Vakeel_Sb hit on his head @mekhala_saran slapped by a male cop

My mother Ms Mufti & several other political leaders have been illegally detained for almost 6 months now. When will this lunacy end? Shameful that EU & US have constantly urged GOI to release them. Brand India stands demolished thanks to BJP

There are more than 1000 high court and district judiciary posts vacant at the moment. At a time when the judiciary (rightly) complains about the workload and need for more judges, why are so many posts vacant? Urgent action is required! @courtingthelaw nation.com.pk/22-Jan-2020/sh…

After being manhandled & illegally detained in Kashmir, I am now being harassed by SSG which reports to MHA. My right to freedom cant be curtailed under guise of ‘security & safety’. Given that a top cop was caught red handed with militants, Im certainly safer without them

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has just announced a remarkable & unanimous decision. It has asked Myanmar to prevent genocide, respect the Genocide Convention & report on measures taken within 4 months. Case has been filed by Gambia! #Rohingya theguardian.com/world/2020/jan…

The toughest punishments should be reserved for such nuts! Sad to see Kasur in the news again - obviously, extra attention needs to be given to this area to protect children. dawn.com/news/1526510

There is no need to arrest in white collar crime: Islamabad High Court. @kdastgirkhan @HummaSaif @Aadiiroy @marvisirmed @ImranKhanPTI

On a day when Ahsan Iqbal gets arrested & Miftah Ismail gets bail - it seems that the process is flawed. NAB authorities should arrest only if enough evidence has been collected & defendant has failed to satisfy authorities & is likely to abscond. Else process loses credibility!

Punjab Bar Council has called for a lockdown of courts & protest rallies across Punjab tomorrow. Again -how can the conduits of justice prevent dispensation of justice? Any innocent persons should be released indeed & protest rallies can take place but lockdowns are just illegal!

If one has to study the decline of secularism, fundamental/minority rights, democracy and judiciary in a country all at the same time, India is now the new gold standard. In fact, it seems to be competing with itself in this league. Thank you Quaid-e-Azam for🇵🇰!

#JunaidHafeez, liberal scholar & former university lecturer, sentenced to death on #blasphemy charges. Hafeez is a Fulbright scholar who studied American literature, photography & theater with distinction. He has been in solitary confinement since 2014 when his lawyer was killed

Feeling broken after the #JunaidHafeez verdict. Can’t imagine what his family, friends & the lawyer who had been fighting for him are going through. We thought for sure the judge would make the right decision. The prosecution had no case! Next step, High Court. #freejunaidhafeez
