Badin! Two weeks have passed, flood water is not going to drain out still. Displaced victims are hardly living. How will they rehabilitate? Victims are requesting only for urgent relief. @oil_opium @blessedAyesha @rozenameh @SAM1920A @blessedAyesha @onelastdance01 #Floods #Badin

ذاہد بلوچ جس کو لا پتہ ہوئے دس سال ہو رہے ہے۔دنیا میں بہت ستم ہوئے ہیں جنکو پڑھ کہ آنکھوں سے آنسو آتے ہیں پھر جو ظلم بلوچ کہ ساتھ ہورہا ہیں اسکی مثال تاریخ میں نہیں ملتی۔ایک فرد کو ایسے لاپتہ کرنا اسے جسمانی اور ذہنی اذیت دینا اسکی مثال صرف پاکستان میں ملتی ہے۔ #SaveZahidBaloch

This is happening tonight. If you don't turn up here @MamataOfficial you will be remembered as the sitting woman CM of a state that betrayed women. Stop using this as a political tool. Stop trying to "control" this. Come. Join them. Do your duty as a "leader" not a politician.
