Pakistan today stands at the centre of a rapidly realigning world order. Moments like this are not merely achievements; they are openings. The image Pakistan has acquired in this short span of time is one that states often spend decades building. #IslamabadTalks

My take on individual-centric politics and Pakistan’s crisis of political instability. tribune.com.pk/story/2521663/…

<624> I spoke at TEDxSTMU today on the growing public health crisis in Pakistan, our lopsided priorities and the way to overcome these challenges by prioritising and reforming our healthcare system. The aggregate effect of our public health crisis reflects in the average life expectancy. An average Pakistani lives 10 years less than an average Sri Lankan, 9 years less than an Iranian, 7 years less than a Chinese and 5 years less than a Bangladeshi. We have to change our mindsets and prioritise the healthcare needs of the poor, advance UHC with provision of prioritised health services, limiting Sehat Suhulat program for the poor and expanding it to PHC, strengthening PHC, effectively dealing with environmental risks to health and by developing wide-ranging public-pvt partnerships in health. @AwaamPakistan @MiftahIsmail @SKhaqanAbbasi @AwaamKiUpdates @FarrukhJAbbasi @ShifaIntl @TEDx @TEDTalks

Shocked to hear about an FIR accusing PTI leaders of blasphemy. Use of blasphemy allegations to settle political scores is unacceptable. Politics should be based on ideological differences rather than the cynical manipulation of religion. This will give more fodder to extremists.

I was honored to present diplomacy as career choice @ #CareerGuideEXPO22. Amazed at the level of interest among the students & their passion for learning. What a great initiative by the @EduMinistryPK.

I’m at the risk of losing my Laal page of the last 10 years with 1.2m followers because I posted a video review about academic books on Hamas. Ironically, being a Marxist, I’m actually opposed to Hamas and support secular progressive Palestinian groups.

Looking forward @SangpyoSuh

Taliban’s foot soldier/ rank and file and ideology has “prevailed” in round one. As expected it’s a big NO to the demand of an “inclusive” govt and women representation for now. Not surprising at all. #kabul #Afghanistan #Taliban

Book review: 'Time’s Monster: History, Conscience and Britain’s Empire' by Prof @PriyaSatia Reviewed by: Tariq Suleman @BalfourProject @Phaederus @rita_payne @PenguinUKBooks @PenguinBooks balfourproject.org/times-monster/

"To discuss Churchill and Churchillian legacies in relation to race and empire is not imbalanced — it is precisely to bring long overdue balance to a heavily skewed national story that has preferred untrammelled glorification to a balanced assessment in the round."
