Instant divorce among Muslims is a barbaric practice that's been effectively banned. Naysayers to the Triple Talaq Bill have no real stand, except for an apparent dislike of the BJP.

The latest fatwa against MP Nusrat Jahan shows why it is imperative to come down heavily on these despicable judgements.

Just establishing terror camps and sending jihadis to India isn't terrorism. Terrorising a section of your own people is also terrorism. And Pakistan, by its very nature, cannot stop doing that.

Their political marginalisation has helped them realise, and fight, the isolationalism clerics and others subjected them to.

His latest pronouncement shows the unbearable lightness of being an academic in politics.
