Journalism Is Dead — And No One Admits It

When Journalism Becomes PR — And You Don’t Even Notice It

This is my last post on X

I am not anti‑Babar Azam. I am anti‑the circus that surrounds him. Between April 19 and 22, my posts were on record: sharp critiques of pseudo‑PR agents masquerading as journalists, reminders that playing for Pakistan should be earned, not handed out like candy, and calls for accountability in cricket culture.

What did I get in return? Suspension. Not for obscenity, not for harassment, not for violence — but for daring to say journalists should behave like journalists, not fans.

Let’s be clear: this wasn’t moderation. This was mass reporting abuse. A coordinated mob decided that critique equals crime, and X allowed their revenge to dictate enforcement. By doing so, X has created a dangerous precedent: anyone can silence anyone else, not by truth, not by rules, but by sheer numbers of reports.

That’s not “serving the public conversation.” That’s weaponizing it.

Look at the record:

• April 19 — I said Pakistan caps shouldn’t be cheap, and Abbas Afridi looked like he was from another dimension while Karachi Kings played from another timeline.

• April 20 — I called out Khalifa Giri and GEN‑Z journalists behaving

  
  
  like pseudo‑PR agents.

• April 20 — I reminded Pakistani journalists to stop acting like personal PR agents and start doing their jobs.

These are critiques, not crimes. They are sports analysis, not

obscenity. They are on record, visible, undeniable.

So here’s my punch: suspending me doesn’t just silence one account. It tells every journalist, every fan, every mob that revenge reporting works. That if you don’t like someone’s critique, you can mass‑report them into oblivion.

X, you’ve violated your own manifesto. You promised to protect free participation. Instead, you’ve handed the keys of censorship to mobs.

And I will not let that precedent pass quietly.

Attached are few more screenshots which were explicitly posted by myself, which is definitely the real case I think that related to my X account suspension, which clearly is the case where X's rules are

being weaponized because they want to numb my voice, whereas My X Account clearly shows none of such obscene or personally attacking comments were generated instead I was reminding them that they are journalists so behave like journalists, instead of fan boys, I didn't mock them, insulted them, instead reminded them what they were doing and what was expected off them, else I have been using Twitter since 2010, never it got suspended, but this time, I won't tolerate them

as they have suspended my X account, I will create more disturbance now for these guys, just like I did with KE guys, if they have the courage, challenge me, I am in , because my free-speech right has been tolerated, and this حجت پنا has to be stopped for now, now its me, tomorrow it would be one of you, and they should be reminded, that next time whenever they block someone else' X or any other social media background, first check his social media

This is the mood I am in
right now regarding this
mass-reporting exploiting
X's terms to weaponize

background, because I am not going without a fight, because I know the flow, and I won't tolerate, because I didn't do anything which hurts anyone sentiments, because on the surface I might look like Anti-Babar Azam, but realistically I am of that mindset that this is Pakistan's National Cricket Team players, not a team selected on social media selectors, at least I have the guts to stand against these guys, because I don't require validation from these guys, instead Allah's watching me, and again, I challenge anyone to view my Profile, and highlight anything which is insulting someone, instead majority of them have been reposts.

Megalomania + Narcissi 

This is realistic example of megalomania in our society because just like in Karachi's traffic, everyone is on the hurry as if they are in the race to launch a rocket off Cape Canaveral, we prepare nothing to bring foreign remittance into the country but spent our energies in حجت just in order to win an argument but do not 

have moral standing to stand against injustice, instead we have become a society who pulls out mobile phone in order to record first and afterwards help, although not everyone is like that but if we don't stand, outsider will treat all of us amongst them, hence this is high time to decide how we want ourselves to be seen globally, this is not how I want myself and my country to be seen globally, because Pakistan is facing this global optical illusion because we don't create such mechanism which allows eradicating these wrong actions.
