Fazila and Kaiser's son Zorain trends on social media after article 'It is over' removed

Fazila Qazi and Kaiser Khan Nizamani's son Zorain Nizamani, who is pursuing his PhD in Criminology in the US, has suddenly become one of the most talked-about names on social media after his opinion piece was reportedly deleted from an English daily's website.

Zorain's article, titled "It is over," was published on January 1. In it, he argued that Pakistan's older leaders have lost touch with the youth.

He wrote that it's over for the older men and women in power. "The young generation isn't buying any of what you're trying to sell to them. No matter how many talks and seminars you arrange in schools and colleges, trying to promoting patriotism, it isn't working," he wrote, as the clipping of his article went viral.

The article reportedly disappeared from the newspaper's digital edition. Screenshots of the full piece started circulating widely on X, WhatsApp, and other platforms.

By January 2, Zorain's name was trending on social media platforms in Pakistan, with thousands sharing excerpts and praising his words as a raw reflection of youth frustration.

In an Instagram post, Fazila Qazi said: "I would like to make it clear that this article was and is intended to be a generic write up which does not target any specific institution or group rather it is a generic write up which talks about a rather fictional setting and how that setting is perceived by the new generation hence the wording of the article is to be read keeping in mind the above said."

She clarified that this article is not by "any means politically driven neither has it been written to criticize or offend any one."
