#Lahore is chanting for azadi where as people in Harvard are protesting for #Palestinians. It was a great platform to raise voice for #KashmiriMuslims but we are liberals and that’s only governments job! Time to think where are we standing as a nation! #faizfestival2019 pic.twitter.com/1D5c2CewNA

"Asia will be red!"
An ambitious dream of a motley crew of #Pakistani leftists, communists, and socialists. Sadly for them, #China is leading the biggest capitalist project in the continent. With success.#Lahore #faizfestival2019 pic.twitter.com/ki9pr76Bs6
