🚨 Extra-judicial killings by the CCD in Punjab are not justice — they are a direct assault on the constitutional right to a fair trial.

When state agencies bypass courts and deliver “justice” through encounters, they assume the roles of judge, jury, and executioner. This is not crime control — it is the collapse of due process.

If the actions of the CCD are justified, then what remains of our judiciary?
Why have courts?
Why have judges, lawyers, or a Constitution at all?

The people of Pakistan bow to the law — not to the CCD.
We believe in the rule of law, not the rule of force.

A fair trial is not a privilege. It is the bedrock of justice.
When we normalize extra-judicial killings, we normalize lawlessness by the state.

Let’s be clear:
Frustration with delayed justice does not justify abandoning justice altogether.
Reform the system — don’t replace it with a trigger.

📢 Raise your voice.
Demand judicial independence.
Protect the right to a fair trial.

The Power Predicament in Pakistan: NEPRA's State of Industry Report 2022
In the midst of recent electricity bill protests sweeping across Pakistan, it's essential to delve into the heart of the matter. The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has been diligently providing annual insights into Pakistan's electricity sector through its State of Industry Report (SIR). The latest, SIR 2022, which was unveiled on September 30, 2022, gives us an opportunity to understand the challenges faced by the sector and how these may relate to the protests.

Understanding the Current State:
Key Findings from SIR 2022

Installed Capacity: The power sector in Pakistan boasts an installed capacity of 37,546 MW as of June 2022.
Peak Demand: In the year 2022, the peak demand for electricity soared to 27,233 MW.
Generation: On average, the country generated 24,332 MW of electricity throughout 2022.
The Circular Debt Conundrum: Perhaps the most alarming statistic - the circular debt in the power sector climbed to a staggering Rs. 2,620 billion by June 2022.
Distribution Losses: Distribution sector losses remained concerning at 22.4%.
The Current Protests:
Now, let's connect the dots. As we witness people taking to the streets, protesting against rising electricity bills and frequent power outages, it becomes crucial to examine how these issues are interlinked.

Failures in the Power Sector:
Power Generation Companies: One of the major factors contributing to these protests is the failure of power generation companies. Frequent load shedding and an inability to meet the increasing demand for electricity have left citizens frustrated.

Transmission and Distribution Issues: Transmission companies haven't been able to ensure the reliable distribution of electricity. This has further added to the load shedding predicament. Inefficient distribution companies are also part of the problem, struggling with bill collection and accumulating the ever-increasing circular debt.

Government's Role: The government plays a pivotal role in this scenario. It hasn't been able to provide adequate financial support to the power sector, exacerbating the circular debt issue.

Challenges at Hand:

Rising Demand: Pakistan faces a daunting challenge with a 7% annual growth in electricity demand. Meeting this demand has become increasingly difficult.
High Generation Costs: Generating electricity in Pakistan is expensive, primarily due to the use of costly fuel sources such as oil and gas.
Inefficiencies: Inefficient transmission and distribution systems result in significant electricity losses, making the situation worse.
The Weight of Circular Debt: The circular debt is an enormous financial burden estimated at Rs. 2,620 billion.
Moving Forward:
As the protests echo throughout the country, NEPRA's SIR 2022 serves as a poignant reminder that the power sector is at a critical juncture. Urgent measures are required to enhance the sector's performance, ensure a stable power supply, and make electricity more affordable for all Pakistanis.

Conclusion:
The protests against rising electricity bills in Pakistan are a manifestation of the systemic issues that the power sector faces, as revealed in NEPRA's SIR 2022. To resolve this crisis, stakeholders must come together, implement the recommendations presented in the report, and work towards a more sustainable and affordable electricity future for the nation.

The History of Pakistan we know nothing about!
23 March 1956 was declared as the First Constitution was implemented on the very day. As per the traditions of the Nation States, Pakistan declared it a public holiday.
(The First Picture is evidence)
Sadly, the so-called revolution and of the took place 1958 and the second picture demonstrates the effect.

Now the Republic Day was connected after the Resolution of 1940 and we know it as Pakistan Day till date.

The Supreme Court has put the Constitution in jeopardy by rendering a decision on Article 63-A. These are times when either this nation will rise or get finished, like it once did in 1971.

Petrol Prices has been hiked up to 180 Rupees per liter.
Government stated that it is the need of hour to hike the prices as controlled economy is crushing the Exchequer.
I seek a simple answer to the question. That's what we're being told and you took on to the roads against inflation. Now you're telling the same thing to us.
You only came to sit on the chair 🪑 of the PM then. Astonishingly by PDM
1. Son of PM Shahbaz was made CM Punjab
2. Son of Zardari, Foreign Minister
3. Son of Molana Fazal ul Rahman, another Minister.
Seems like you only came to power to put your names in the list of office-bearers.

ایک میراثی سے بادشاہ بڑا خوش ہوا اور پوچھا مانگ کیا مانگتا ہے۔
میراثی نے کہا ایک دن کی بادشاہی دے دو۔
بادشاہ نے کہا چل تو کل کا بادشاہ۔
اگلے روز دربار میں تخت پر بیٹھا تو درباری ہاتھ باندھ کر کھڑے ہو گئے کہ بادشاہ سلامت حکم کریں۔
اس نے حکم دیا کہ میرے سلطنت میں سونے چاندی کے سکوں کی جگہ چمڑے کے سکے چلائے جائیں۔ لوگوں نے کہا بادشاہ سلامت اکانومی کا کیا ہو گا۔
کہنے لگا جو ہونا ہے ہو گا مگر لوگ یاد کریں گے کہ ایک بادشاہ آیا تھا جس نے چمڑے کے سکے چلائے تھے۔
اے حالات اجPDM دے نیں۔

Lahore High Court Divisional Bench allowed Maryam to withdraw his petition.
After coming into power of PMLN, Maryam filed a petition for return of his passport and 3 benches consecutively rescued themselves from hearing the petition. Specially constituted bench headed by J. Najafi heard the petition and allowed withdrawal of the same.
These are the facts pertaining to the princess.

PTI is calling for removal of Chief Election Commissioner terming his decisions biased. However it is pertinent to mention here that same was appointed by the PTI in 2020 for a term of 5 years.
Hastily decisions taken by former PM IK has started to bore fruits. Even if this person is ousted, PTI is not even opposition. So, this appointment shall stay at the mercy of current leaders.
If the reader allows to distract from the point, PTI shouldn't have made IK Prime Minister, in the first place as he was the chairman of the Party. Contrarily, IK should have allowed the party to do politics independently when he was PM. This mistake has put both PTI and IK in survival position which resulted in Politics of opportunity rather than of principles. PTI would have evaded a deadlock they are in, obviously for making the right decisions.
Hail One man show. Now PTI has to face the music however a lesson may be learnt if it is desirous, but seems unlikely.

Yesterday, the provincial assembly of Punjab met to elect it's Chief Minister.

It is sad to hear that Mr. Perez Elahi was beaten badly and the son of Prime Minister is selected Chief Minister of the largest Province of Pakistan.
1. It is sad to note that PMLN couldn't groom political leaders who are eligible enough to head the province. Why all the power seats have to go to Sharif Brothers house.
2. Politicians should have stood upon the principles. Sad to hear that they are behaving like goons.
3. Institutional hierarchy is rapidly shifting under the regime change. Although it is necessary to enable the Chief Executive to discharge his functions, it is pertinent to note that blue eyed people having not solid credentials are being picked up. Let the merit rest in peace.
4. Chiefs of law enforcement agencies like FIA, NAB shift their loyalties with the rising sun. Let the law rest in West.

Rather if anybody is serious in promoting a good, responsible and transparent government, following points shall lead towards a better society.
A. Legislation of conflict of interest laws
B. Enforcement of Right to Information
C. Ostracizing public officials and politicians

عمران خان کے دور حکومت میں سب سے زیادہ طوفان بدتمیزی اس کی اپنی کابینہ نے برپا کیا۔ خان صاحب کی سب سے بڑی کمزوری خوشامد پسندی ٹھہری جس کی وجہ نے خان نے وہ فاش غلطیاں کیں جو خان کی حکومت بدری کا سبب بنی۔
بہرحال اس وقت ملک کو خان کے جانے سے جہاں سکھ کا سانس آیا ہے وہیں خان کے لیے یہ اپنی غلطیاں سدھارنے کا موقع ہے۔
کارکنان بڑی تعداد میں خان کی حمایت میں سڑک پر ان نکلے ہیں مگر یہ جدوجھد کافی تھکا دینے والی ہو گی۔ موجودہ حکمران خان کے خلاف ہر حربہ آزمانے کی کوشش کریں گے اور اگر خان سرخرو ہوتا ہے تو صرف اسی صورت اگلے جنرل الیکشن میں کامیابی حاصل کر سکے گا۔
خان کو سردست
1۔ اپنے عقل سے پیدل وزیروں سے نجات پانا ہو گی اور کام کے لوگ ڈھونڈ کر اکٹھے کرنا ہوں گے۔
2. اپنے کارکنان کی سیاسی تربیت کرنا ہو گی
3۔ اس طوفان بدتمیزی میں خود کو اصولوں پر کاربند کرنا ہو گا جس معاملے میں بری طرح ناکام ہوا ہے۔
4۔ اپنے آپ کو چمچوں اور سیاسی طفیلیوں سے دور کرنا ہو گا۔
پھر شاید یہ سب انقلاب کا پیش خیمہ ثابت ہو سکے

Opposition has put an end to the rule of Imran Khan. Major development seen in few days back was, the decision of Supreme Court to reinstate the Government and putting the IK to vote through Suo Moto action.
The decision given was the ruling never given before and of course, led to upholding the Constitution.
The writer was very upset when the Speaker National Assembly dismissed the motion of no confidence.
However today, with grieving heart, it is stated that Opposition is not worth the rule.
I hope, for IK, everything took a beneficial turn as now he is out of power and can be an excellent candidate seeking 5 years mandate for next five years and people will be more than happy to give it to him.
Let the opposition be caught into their own hands.
Long live Pakistan

کسی زمانے میں مجھے لگتا تھا کہ عدالت کا فیصلہ وہی ہوتا ہے جو ہونا چاہیے چاہے آسمان گر پڑے۔ مگر یہ قانون تو شیطان کی آنت کی طرح لمبا ہوتا جا رہا ہے۔
منصف شہر، خدا کے سامنے کھڑا ہونا ہے۔۔۔۔۔
عمران خان نے اس ملک اور قوم کی جمعیت کو پارہ کرنے کی کوشش کی ہے۔ اور افسوس تو اس بات کا ہے کہ عمران خان کا منکر ہو کر کسی دوسرے لیڈر کے پیچھے کھڑا ہونے کو دل نہیں مان رہا۔
اللہ میرے وطن کی حفاظت فرمائے کہ یہ مردار خور گدھوں کے ہاتھ پر گیا۔
