Hamza Azhar Salam
Hamza Azhar Salam@HamzaAzhrSalam·
It would cost 1.28 million PKR to fill up the tanks of 30 SUVs (80 litre) at the increased fuel price of 535 rs per litre. Pakistani officials including the President, Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, Chief Justices and others have been frequently seen travelling in motorcades of over 30 cars which consist mostly of SUVs using high octane, police mobiles and even ambulances. Now the Pakistani taxpayer will pay 60-70% more to fulfil the indulgences of our elite which prefers to travel whilst accompanied with dozens of luxury and security vehicles. CM Punjab also recently acquired a new Gulfstream VIP jet for upwards of $40 million. It is not immediately clear whether the government will increase the tax on jet fuel.

VIP Culture: I pass through Mall Road, Lahore almost every day and have noticed a sharp increase in traffic being stopped or diverted whenever a ‘VIP’ passes. This isn’t just for the Chief Minister or Governor but now, even Judges, Secretaries and Ministers are also influencing traffic flow when they pass, causing avoidable and unnecessary delays for the public. Mohtarma @MaryamNSharif has done phenomenal work which is appreciated but this blatant example of VIP culture must be limited not only to improve the public perception of this government but also to show that every citizen is equal and has an equal right to mobility. Watching officials use multiple vehicles and security escorts on taxpayer funds erodes the fundamental trust between the populace and its elected representatives. More often than not, the ‘protocol’ accorded to officials is for pomp and show rather than any genuine security concerns. At least traffic should not be stopped or diverted except in exceptional cases.

A stray bullet hit my sweet daughter in the head while she was playing at home. She desperately needs your prayers. I urge everyone to stop this senseless act of aerial firing. Such reckless behavior can take someone’s life.

پرئس کلب کے انتخابات کے نتائج میں غیر معمولی تاخیر، ہارنے والوں کو شکست تسلیم نہ کرنے کے فون موصول ہو رہے ہیں، پریس کلب صحافیوں کا ہے مگر غیر معمولی دلچسپی کوئی اور لے رہا ہے۔ ہم یہاں سے جانے والے نہیں سرکار، ہارنے والوں کو جانا ہوگا۔ صحافیوں نے ڈیموکریٹس پینل کو مینڈیٹ دیا ہے۔

"If anyone puts a video on social media or points a camera...they can be prosecuted". IRGC and Hezbollah say they launched coordinated attacks across Israel to “overwhelm” its air defenses, but Israel's military is limiting reports. Al Jazeera's Rory Challands explains.

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain. Our response then must be our response now: NO to violations of international law. NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs. NO to repeating the mistakes of the past. NO TO WAR. lamoncloa.gob.es/presidente/int…

A reporter asked Mayor Mamdani about being called a cockroach. He didn’t flinch. “I am not ashamed of who I am. I am not ashamed of my faith. I am not ashamed of being the first Muslim mayor in the history of our city. And there’s no amount of racism that will change the way in which I lead.” Then he went back to work. This is what unbothered leadership looks like. 🔥
