Punjab must lead to save Pakistan. It should rise from deep slumber. Punjab is very essential.

The people of Punjab must condemn all atrocities in #Karachi, Sindh, #Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and across the country.
It was the year 1992, a military crackdown against #MQM was underway. Its strength and work force was dragged to massacre. They were pulled out of jails, handcuffed, and shot dead mercilessly, and those murders were titled as "Police Encounters. Headlines appeared in newspapers stating that MQM terrorists had been killed, and the people of Punjab used to rejoice, clap, and say, “MQM people are enemies of the country, it is good they are being killed. I used to pray to Allah, “O Allah, please do something so that the eyes of the people of Punjab are open and they may realise the truth. Allah did so when on May 8 Imran Khan was arrested from the courtroom, and after the events of May 9, when PTI work force was arbitrarily arrested across #Punjab province and false cases were registered against them, and claimed that they were terrorists, then they felt the oppression of the long boot agencies. Now, people from Punjab and Khyber Pakhtun Khwa come on TikTok, tender their apologies to me, and say, “Altaf Bhai, we were misled against you; we are ashamed. The incident of May 9 is a lesson from Allah for the people of Punjab. If after May 9, the entire people of Punjab have not awakened, and if they do not come out to free these courts, which are currently crushed under boots, then the remaining country will break apart. If we want to preserve the country, Imran Khan must be released, the missing Baloch and all missing persons must be produced, and unprovoked aerial bombings in Khyber Pakhtun Khwa must end. If Pakistan is to be preserved, the February 8, 2024 elections must be annulled and re-elections held. It should not be that elections are rigged while Imran Khan remains imprisoned. The locks of prisons must be undone, all political prisoners should released, and missing persons produced. All parties that have genuine public support must be allowed to participate in elections. In free and fair elections, whoever the people vote for must be allowed to form the government. Should the military establishment vows to refrain from political engineering and solemnly affirns to remain subordinate to a civilisn government formed strictly per the Constitution, then our hats off to them. Subsequently, there will be peace, tranquility and stability in the country, and true democracy will prosoer. If even the courts do not provide justice, then how can a system of justice be established in Pakistan? A country where justice is not established never survives, it breaks apart. If Pakistan is to survive, then justice must be established in the country, everyone must be treated as equal citizens, and those who demand their rights must be given justice. The Baloch rebellion can only end in one way, that all missing Baloch must be recovered, and the rights of the Baloch people over Balochistan’s mineral resources must be recognized. Similarly, the rights of Khyber Pakhtun Khwa over its minerals must be recognised, Punjab’s resources must belong to the people of Punjab, and Sindh’s resources to the people of Sindh. There must be an autonomous, and full-fledged justice system. Keep in mind that by doing this, hats will be off, Pakistan will prosper, and grow stronger. Every person will enjoy peace, and tranquility will prevail, and then we could sing in a monotonous chorus:
we are a chain of humans.............
We are united in a chain..................
