Omar Warraich's article on Virk is amusing in how Pakistan's English-speaking elite views itself, & their detractors. Us vs them mentality completely blinds him to their own support for drones, mil. ops, US imperialism in Afg & even their own abusive trolls like Bukhari, Goraya.
The utter disdain for anyone even one inch different from their strongly-held views, the dehumanization of their 'untroll' opponents & most importantly the (undemocratic) imposition in some form of their views on this populace are things he is completely oblivious to.
The interested reader is urged to read this piece which demonstrates that this class holds exceedingly disproportionate & unaccountable power. The pandering to PPP further dilutes any doubts of tolerance & fairness they may have imagined for themselves https://www.dawn.com/news/1378798 
No love lost for Virk ofc, or any of the scum that dirties the discourse, but Warraich's 'well-spoken' self-anointed progressives who used to enjoy Twitter's echo chamber should learn to do some introspection. Learn to prove your point beyond 'its 2020' & 'whole world does it'.
I can almost feel the thought process of any of their numbers who happen to come across this thread:
"He criticizes us"
"Hindutva also criticize our brethren in India"
"Hence he is Hindutva".

Put this in your pipe and smoke it.
