🇮🇳 Indian police officer kicks Muslims during their prayers

Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, their daily abuse, violent mobs & extremist groups with state patronage have led the country to this madness.

If you support Israel ישראל 🇮🇱 give them your country.

Release ⁦Imran Khan⁩ immediately.

I wish Nawaz Sharif had the integrity to accept his defeat instead of stealing people’s mandate.

Lahore voted for Dr Yasmin Rashid!
