@Yetanothermind2 Unbelievable! I have lost hope in this country protecting women. It infuriates to the point that my hatred for Pakistani men has surged to the point that I can actually go on a killing spree now.

On the Cipher, the Coverup, and the Consequences: Drop Site News published a document, claiming that it is the original Cipher I-0678 dated 7 March 2022, and it came from a military source. The world now believes that this is the smoking gun. Let's dissect it from there. Pakistan's establishment spent four years suppressing, prosecuting people over it, claiming that it did not exist. The truth was forced out not from within Pakistan, but by an American investigative outlet. That fact alone is the indictment. Donald Lu told Pakistan's Ambassador plainly: “All will be forgiven in Washington”, if the no-confidence motion against PM @ImranKhanPTI succeeded, while warning of isolation if it did not. This was not diplomacy. It was a threat and a bribe, delivered in the same breath, to a sovereign nation's ambassador. The NSC in its two meetings clearly stated that this amounted to unacceptable and blatant interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan and that the Govt. rightly issued a démarche. On 12 May 2022, I as President formally wrote to CJP Umar Bandial requesting a Judicial Commission, open hearings, full investigation and truth be placed on record. This was published in all newspapers. (Please read the letter below, every word carries historic weight in world affairs of this nature). CJP received that letter. Did not comment. Did not act. The judiciary's silence marked the beginning of its institutional surrender. Had that Commission been constituted, these questions would have been answered under oath: who received the cipher, who acted upon it, who domestically facilitated the foreign signal, and which institutions of the Pakistani state collaborated in the removal of an elected prime minister. Pakistan would have had the truth. A man who warned the nation would not have been imprisoned on false charges arising from the very document the state refused to investigate. Instead, the nation got four years of compounding ruin. A regime was not merely changed but democracy was dismantled, piece by piece, demolished with full institutional complicity at every level. Parliament was reduced to a 'stinking chamber of convenience'. PTI commanding the largest popular mandate in Pakistan's history had its electoral symbol stolen, its seats brazenly allocated to others by judicial decree, all to hand a 17-seat party, a fraudulent two-thirds majority. PTI's workers were tried in military courts. Its voters were disenfranchised. Its leader imprisoned — on charges arising from the very document the state refused to examine. The 26th & 27th Amendments were coercively passed, turning the judiciary into a handmaiden of the executive, an instrument of crooked consolidation rather than a guardian of rights. Now count the human cost. 44% of our people are below the poverty line, 105 million people that is 20 million more than in 2019. Real incomes have collapsed. GDP growth of barely 3% cannot keep pace with population, let alone absorb new labour. Terrorism is at its highest. Capital is leaving, not arriving. 22 million young Pakistanis are neither working nor studying, 25 million children are out of school. The direction is unambiguous: Pakistan is getting poorer, faster than ever. These are not statistics. These are children going to bed hungry. Young men drowning on boats to shores that may kill them, because their own country is pushing them out. Mothers choosing between medicine and bread. Every single one of these human beings is a direct, traceable, forensic consequence of the decision made in April 2022 to subvert the democratic mandate of the Pakistani people. This is not an act of God. It is the price of a conspiracy with all its collaborators naked before the people. Donald Lu issued a threat. He did not remove a government. Pakistanis removed a Pakistani government. General Bajwa in uniform. Some in robes. Some in ‘dastaar’. Corrupt politicians, some with deep pockets from Dubai. They chose a foreign signal over the people and the constitution they had sworn to protect. The perpetrators were not only foreign but local. Let that be stated plainly and permanently on the record. To those who say, "this is the past, let us move forward", I say that: There is no investment without rule of law. There is no rule of law without an independent judiciary. And there is no independent judiciary that can be built upon the foundations of predominantly crooked judges. The path forward runs through the truth, not around it. Pakistan's economic misery, its institutional decay, total corruption, national termites eating up everything, none of it is an act of God. It is the direct and traceable consequence of a criminal regime change, facilitated from without and executed from within. The contents of the cipher as reported are now public. The record is clear. The usurpers remain in power orchestrating my country's misery. The only reasonable and just way forward is unambiguous: LEAVE and let my people LIVE. It pains me to invoke Iqbal for those who betrayed this nation, but this verse is timeless: جعفر از بنگال و صادق از دکن ننگِ آدم، ننگِ دیں، ننگِ وطن Jaffer of Bengal, Sadiq of Deccan, Disgrace to humanity, disgrace to faith, disgrace to country. The cipher has spoken. Now Pakistan must. 🇵🇰
