So a girl is expected to spend weeks on end at her in laws, because it’s ‘her home’ but the guy has problems spending 5 days at her house because ‘what will I do there?!’. The bloody hypocrisy of our society.

This! This.
I will say this... Even if she truly experienced psychosis that led to the murders of her three children as she claims...it's hard to imagine a mother would fight this hard to be found not guilty after doing this. I can't imagine living with the knowledge your babies are gone because of you.

The 33rd Foreign Secretary of Pakistan, Ambassador Amna Baloch, after a distinguished career spanning over three decades and her tenure as Foreign Secretary since 11 September 2024, will retire from government service on 17 September 2026. I commend her dedicated service and leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during a consequential period in Pakistan's diplomatic history. Foreign Secretary Amna Baloch leaves behind a legacy of dedicated public service, and carries with her our warmest wishes. She will assume charge as Pakistan's Ambassador to Türkiye, after retirement. I am confident she will continue to serve Pakistan with distinction in this new role. I am delighted to also announce that Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, who is currently Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, will be the next Foreign Secretary of Pakistan. I am confident that, under Ambassador Asim's leadership, the Foreign Office will continue to advance Pakistan's interests with clarity, professionalism and purpose, building on the important work undertaken by Ambassador Amna Baloch and all her predecessors. I am further pleased to share that the Honourable Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz has kindly approved the aforesaid assignments.

I am honoured to announce that the historic ‘Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding’ has been electronically signed today between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Memorandum has been signed by honourable Presidents of both the countries and also endorsed by me as the mediator. The signing of this agreement at the highest level of the respective governments demonstrates the commitment of both sides to a diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Islamabad MoU shall enter into force with immediate effect and as a first step, Islamic Republic of Iran will instantly reopen the Strait of Hormuz and the United States of America will immediately lift the naval blockade. I offer my heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump whose steadfast commitment to diplomacy and preference for peaceful resolution have once again helped end a conflict that could have led to devastating consequences for the region and beyond. I also commend the dedication and tireless efforts of the United States negotiating team, including J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, for their invaluable contributions to this achievement. I express my profound respect and appreciation to His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran and President Masoud Pezeshkian for their wisdom, foresight and statesmanship in embracing the cause of peace. I also wish to recognize the efforts of the Iranian negotiating team, including Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi and Eskandar Momeni, whose patience, perseverance and commitment to constructive engagement were instrumental in bringing this agreement to fruition. I would especially like to acknowledge the sincere efforts and constructive engagement of the leadership of the State of Qatar in helping reach this point. I also highly commend the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Türkiye and the Arab Republic of Egypt for their indispensable role and invaluable contributions in this regard. I would also like to make special mention of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, whose tireless efforts, selfless dedication and instrumental role were critical in facilitating this breakthrough and advancing the cause of peace and regional stability. May this Memorandum of Understanding serve as an enduring foundation for greater understanding, mutual respect and shared prosperity for the complete region. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi

The Prophet (PBUH) said: "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of tales. Do not look for others' faults, do not spy on one another, do not be jealous, do not cut off relations, and do not hate one another. And O servants of Allah! Be brothers." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Pakistan may not be among the competing teams, but a piece of Pakistan will be present in every pass, every save and every goal. We pay tribute to our skilled and semi-skilled workers whose excellence continues to earn Pakistan global recognition. Proud of Pakistan. 🇵🇰⚽ #WorldCup2026 #MadeInPakistan @FIFAWorldCup @FIFAcom

Saw a video of a 10 month baby being thrown into the pool with the instructor watching him ‘swim’ (struggle to survive). Beyond traumatised to see parents allowing this - what’s the rush to teach your baby how to swim? The kid’s brain is enduring lifetime of trauma!

The recent surge in violence in the Middle East is a stark reminder of the dangers associated with a tenuous ceasefire and the unbearable consequences it may lead to. As we work earnestly and painstakingly, together with our brothers and partners, to find a peaceful diplomatic solution to the conflict, and especially when the final objective is just about to be achieved, we sincerely urge all sides to exercise restraint and give peace a little more chance. Let us continue to remain on the path of peace and diplomacy which have bright prospects of success instead of violence and destruction!
