27th December marked the 224th birthday of Mirza Asadullah Baig Khan, famously known by his pen name, ‘Ghalib’. He was born in 1797, in erstwhile India that was ruled by the Mughal Empire, shortly before the British arrived. Ghalib wrote in both Urdu and Persian languages.

Without naming the former prime minister Imran Khan, PPP leader called out for allegedly threatening the army, the police and a female magistrate, saying “this man dares authorities to arrest him”.
