The sharpest rebuke didn’t come from New Delhi or Washington. It came from within Pakistan itself.Not from TV anchors or ministers. But from everyday Pakistanis—with Wi-Fi in one hand, rage in the other, and no illusions left to break.Take this tweet: “Jung karni ho to 9 baje se pehle kar lena, 9:15 per gas chali jati hai hamari.” Translation: If you're planning a war, please do it before 9am—we run out of gas after that.It would be hilarious if it weren’t heartbreakingly accurate. Pakistan, a nuclear power, can’t guarantee a cup of tea in […]
