On Jul 6, 2021, I filed an Info request to @TheRealPCB under #federal #RTI Act for obtaining information

regarding contracts signed with legal firms to represent PCB at legal forums and copies of contracts signed by #PCB with cricket managers. No response was received from @TheRealPCBMedia @TheRealPCB & I lodged an appeal with @PkInfoCom on 27 July 2021.

in response to my letter, PCB quoted “the magic time frame itself shows that the law at hand is being abused for personal and ulterior motives”. I submitted my argument to @PkInfoCom on 27 Aug 2021 that the response of PCB lawyers is evasive and not satisfactory.

1. #Libya’s #constitutional basis (not) agreed upon btw #HoR-HCS was released cutt.ly/LZhfoMJ. “Embarrassing” doc: creates more prb than CDA draft & reveals hasty drafting. Instead of bringing 2 houses together, it is now dividing each of them. Observations on this doc:
2. Note: The text was supposed to be an amended version of the CDA’s draft constitution. Unless explicitly mentioned, the below observations deal only with amendments inserted during the two houses' Cairo-Geneva talks.
3. Art 2 on minority languages makes them official “in areas where they are spoken”. Not acceptable to minority groups who want them official languages of the State. CDA original text remained constructively vague and envisioned a parliamentary session to deal w the matter.
Umm. Hasn't anyone at @MoJGovUK told @DominicRaab that a "Bill of Rights Bill" won't enter the statute books as a #BillOfRights (if passed) but only as a Bill of Rights *Act*?
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
We still have to wait for the Bill to be published, of course - but the petty press release:
gov.uk/government/new…
makes it clear this isn't a #BillOfRights; it's not even a #BillOfGoods - it's a Bill of #Bads and #Wrongs that starts off poorly, and then gets even worse...

Even as it characterises #HumanRights claims as "trivial", the Government reveals its fatuity; the example it gives 👇 refers to a ruling that simply required the UK Courts to see through *their own process*!
Just how "trivial" does this Government consider #DueProcess to be??

Appalling bit of subediting(?) but the article itself lays out both the history and US context of #RoeVsWade and the consequences of overturning it with rather more nuance:

The "right approach" the writer appears to support 👇 is the codification of the #RightToChoose into federal #law - which should have happened decades ago. The major issue being the parlous state of US politics...
For the avoidance of doubt, I absolutely support women's #RightToChoose - it is not for ANY authority to tell people what they can or can't do with their bodies. Anger is justified, but not enough; this is an issue around which people must #mobilise and begin taking back #agency.
As the dust settles on the civilian coup here are a few key takeaways: 1) #IK has lost morally and politically. the #Opposition wanted the #selectedPM out and new elections, and this will happen. #IK dragged his feet but eventually this has been the result. 1/n
2) Beyond politics, #IK has now clearly undermined the #Constitution, the Supreme National Institution. Article 95 is a self contained provision, which gives the #Speaker no power once leave has been granted for #VoNC. A vote has to be done, no matter what. 2/n
3) Article 69 is about matters of procedure in Legislature and doesn't apply if the Speaker decides to throw out the Constitution itself. Imagine if the Speaker decides to not count the votes of Women or non-Muslim MNAs? Would that be allowed by the SC. 3/n

Piecing it all Together: What if this election fraud campaign, done in several states, is nothing more than a college exam scam on steroids? What if we have the entire crime’s evidence already in hand? @RudyGiuliani @SidneyPowell1 @LLinWood @dbongino @MariaBartiromo @tracybeanz
First, let’s ask some simple common sense questions. If this wasn’t Trump, and was Hillary running for re-election against a GOP challenger, with her having a lead in ALL battleground states, would the count have stopped? 🤔
Then there’s a lot of other facts LEADING UP to 2020 election, occurrences AFTER counting stopped & BEFORE GOP witnesses returned the next day, none of which passes the smell test.
@d9monti @shannonrwatts I think #Democrats are misunderstanding (and underestimating) the #GOP/#Trump play here.
They are *NOT* trying to win these frivolous lawsuits!
What they *ARE* trying to do is:
1. Delay #vote certifications; and/or,
2. Keep multiple lawsuits alive in various #states.

@d9monti @shannonrwatts Thus allowing #GOP controlled legislatures to declare that b/c the #election results are disputed (see: lawsuits) they have no option but to "reluctantly" exercise their #Constitutional duty under Article II Section 1 Clauses 2 thereof & appoint their own #electors!

#Thailand #protesters already gathered infront of parliament house where MPs & senators are debating on whether to amend #constitution. They'll likely be able to start taking a vote at about 6pm #Bangkok time. This is continuation of reform demands #ไปสภาไล่ขี้ข้าศักดินา
#Thailand protesters say they want to continue momentum to demand for change & to support the activists who have been vocal in asking for new #constitution, reforms to #monarchy & change in government. MPs, senators will vote on 6 motions #แก้รัฐธรรมนูญ #ไปสภาไล่ขี้ข้าศักดินา
#Thailand MPs, senators to vote on 6 motions on whether they agree to amend #constitution. A least 1/3 (84) senators have to agree before motion can be passed. Senators are appointed & usually vote as a bloc. Constitution now has provided for their existence #แก้รัฐธรรมนูญ

Read this attached bit of text. It is taken from a major widely read international newspaper with key geographic details removed. Your task: To guess which part of the world is this about:
North Korea?
Myanmar?
Syria?
Xin Jiang?
Whichever one you guessed, you'd be wrong

It is from #Kashmir. It is from @TheEconomist Sept 12th.
"India is still trampling on civil liberties in Kashmir" is the headline. with a picture of a deserted street guarded by armed troops - not to keep the enemy out but to keep the citizens locked in.

Read the article here. #India's Kashmir policy is a shambles, an abject failure, if 370 days after the #Article370 #Constitutional change, it takes armed repression rather than a functioning administration to present an outward sense of a deathly calm.

Remember the version of the #Cleveland #Police Department that showed up at the #Republican National Convention in the summer of 2016? That was then, this is now. Appalling images from the #GeorgeFloyd protest show officers are far from reformed. cleveland.com/opinion/2020/0…

"... on downtown streets with #professionalism, #civility & respect for the rights of citizens. Observers worried that the embattled #police department – then operating under its first year of a federal consent decree governing use of force – would overly restrict protests..."

@UKLabour #manifesto sets out their social and economic programmes and their plan for #Brexit. However, engagement with the broader #constitutional questions facing the #UK are minimal.
#Constitutional issues are detailed at the back. Abolish the @UKHouseofLords replace it with a Senate, and hold a #constitutional convention to address some of the thorny issues, all of which have been included in previous manifestos.
No surprises here where #Thailand court has disqualified key #opposition leader @FWPthailand @Thanathorn_FWP as #MP as they found him guilty of holding shares in a media company after registering his candidacy for the #Thai election early this year
Back in May this year when #Thailand #parliament convened for the 1st time after March elections, after 5 years of #military rule, @FWPthailand leader @Thanathorn_FWP was already barred from sitting in as #MP by #constitutional #court then over this same media shareholding case

Tweet thread on #Kashmir #Article370 #Constitutional changes.
I fear the travails and tribulations of the people of #JammuAndKashmir will continue for a very long time before they get better. The changes wrought on 5 August 2019 by #ModiSarkar2 are driven by ideology and politics
I fear the travails and tribulations of the people of #JammuAndKashmir will continue for a very long time before they get better. The changes wrought on 5 August 2019 by #ModiSarkar2 are driven by ideology and politics
They are not driven by pragmatic considerations of what is good for the people of that troubled region of India. #ModiSarkar2 argues that with the special status gone development beckons and a new dawn starts. What they don't explain is what about the previous regime prevented it
Much will depend on how the changes are implemented but the very manner in which they were pushed through Parliament, the various sleights of hand and specious legal tricks, and the deployment of troops to #lockdown Kashmir - all these bode ill for the future
