firing the health secretary won’t get this mother her 3day old baby back Mr PM Shehbaz Sharif 14 Mothers who walked into PIMS expecting to take their babies home and instead walked out carrying grief that will never leave them. Suspending a single official risks looking like an attempt to deflect responsibility and shield those ultimately accountable for the systemic failures under your government A hospital entrusted with the most vulnerable human beings must have uncompromising safety standards, functioning emergency systems, proper SOPs and accountability. “Good enough” cannot exist in a neonatal ward. And yet, at the very same time, this government has been adamant about placing a former Prime Minister in this state hospital despite a court-directed preference for treatment at Shifa International, citing exceptional medical care along with security. condolences should not become the end of this story but we shall see 14 dead babies turn into a headline, an inquiry and a few dismissals. A newborn cannot demand an SOP. A mother should not have to demand a fire exit. And a hospital should never become a place where parents fear they are sending their children to die. Yet this government seems to have immunity from accountability for everything.

#PIMS report is in front of PM right now in Lahore. Hope it gives answers. Need answers as to who was responsible for ensuring that the building, electrical system, oxygen infrastructure, air-conditioning, fire alarms, exits and other safety systems were properly maintained and inspected. The responsibility chain is straightforward: the ED PIMS is primarily responsible for the day-to-day functioning, safety, staffing, maintenance and administration of the hospital; the Health Secretary is responsible for administrative oversight of the federal health system and ensuring PIMS has the resources and governance needed to function; the Health Minister carries political and policy responsibility for the ministry; and ultimately, the Prime Minister and federal government carry overall executive responsibility. Accountability should therefore follow the chain of command and examine what each level knew, what authority they had, what warnings or requests they received, and what action - or inaction - followed.

Hello National Highways & Motorway Police (NHMP) please remain vigilant post midnight as well. It’s unbelievable how public service vehicles (buses, vans, etc.) overspeed at night. The speed limit is 110 km/h, yet this Bilal Travel bus is weaving in and out of lanes with shocking recklessness, going at 150km/hr 🚍⚠️ Bilal Travels Kindly review the conduct of your drivers. Reckless driving puts both your passengers and other road users at serious risk

The closures of Monal and demolition of Nasla Tower weren’t victories for justice, they highlighted the costs of judicial overreach. An independent judiciary is essential, but so is judicial restraint. Courts should decide cases according to law, not govern through judgments. For us a constitutional democracy might never work as institutions don’t respects their limits.

As members of the Pakistan media fraternity, we understand the delicate balance between patriotism & our unwavering commitment to journalistic ethics & principles. We firmly reject India’s aggression towards Pakistan & stand against the escalation of conflict—we are not in favour of war. India must stop escalating tensions & provoking instability in the region. At this critical moment, we must encourage peace, dialogue, and sensibility—not just as journalists, but as responsible voices in society. #IndiaPakistanWar2025 Hamid Mir حامد میر Kashif Abbasi Shahzeb Khanzada Kamran Shahid Kamran Khan Shahzad Iqbal Asma Shirazi Mohammad Malick Gharidah Farooqi (T.I.)

ایک غیر معمولی اور کھلا اعتراف ایک ایسے موجودہ وفاقی وزیر کی طرف سے، جس نے اس بات کو تسلیم کیا کہ یہ نظام آئینی نہیں، بلکہ ایک عملی حقیقت ہے۔۔ “Defense minister calls this hybrid “arrangement” one that is “not constitutionally formalised but it is a de facto formalization of the situation” گویا، اب آئین محض ایک رسمی کاغذ ہے اور وزراء کو اس پر کوئی اعتراض نہیں۔ ان کا کہنا ہے کہ اگر یہی ماڈل نوے کی دہائی میں نافذ کیا گیا ہوتا تو حالات بہت بہتر ہو سکتے تھے۔۔۔اور کیونکہ ہم نے یہ نظام اپنی مرضی سے قبول کر لیا ہے، اس لیے اب کسی خفیہ مداخلت کا خوف بھی نہیں رہا۔ وزیرِ دفاع خود کہہ رہے ہیں: “یہ ہائبرڈ ماڈل ہے، یہ کوئی مثالی جمہوری حکومت نہیں۔ لیکن میرا خیال ہے کہ یہ نظام کمال کر رہا ہے۔” وہ اسے موجودہ حالات میں ایک عملی ضرورت قرار دیتے ہیں، جب تک کہ پاکستان اقتصادی اور حکومتی بحرانوں سے باہر نہ نکل جائے۔ it’s a remarkable, if unsettling moment of candor owing to beautifully crafted questions by Mehreen Zahra-Malik

No denial, no apology: Netanyahu says he directed Israeli military to take over 70% of Gaza. To be clear, taking over more of Gaza would push about 2million Palestinians into an even smaller part of the devastated territory. Spoke to Mehdi Hasan few days ago on the declining support for Israeli govt in America today

When will our politics rise above personal jibes and mudslinging? Was there a need for this?

There was no reason to intensify an already unjust situation. Khan was moved in the dark, hidden from family & party, a secrecy that magnifies political victimisation, unlike Nawaz Sharif’s widely known hospital transfer. The Express Tribune reported MNS was shifted from prison to PIMS hospital’s cardiac centre on the recommendation of doctors after he complained of chest pain, and authorities deployed security while supporters came to the hospital. Dawn reported TV footage showing the convoy of vehicles carrying him from Adiala Jail to the hospital, with media coverage of the event. So unlike a hidden or unannounced transfer, this hospitalisation was public, visible, and reported by major news outlets at the time. Stark contrast to moving someone in secret without informing family or party. Question is WHY?
