In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to adjourn the proceedings of the Panamagate case till January, the PTI’s legion of trolls have taken to social media to abuse the judiciary.
Predictable. They have also started taking to task anyone and everyone who asked them not to do so, causing a negative feedback loop that the party is infamous for. Yes, but you can’t hold the party responsible for what its followers do. True, but the party leadership is churlish in the same manner. At least the chairman is.
Since the moment the decision was announced, several anchors, columnists and politicians were being harassed on the only venue where the PTI can exercise at least some measure of influence. Online. Right next to cat videos and songs by Tahir Shah.
In the new cabinet reshuffle in the Punjab, it was surprising that the CM’s spokesperson Zaeem Qadri was not given the portfolio of information minister and was given the Auqaf department instead. Information went to Mujtaba Shuja-ur-Rehman instead, which was a bit odd, since few bring enough spin doctoring kicks to the effort than Qadri.
