  1. If Ahmed Mukhtar were to touch gold, it would become copper, because that is the sort of business man he is. Whenever he comes into power, his assets rise astronomically, while the departments under his ministry are riddled by corruption, kickbacks and mismanagement. Look at what he has done to PIA. It was first his elder brother who ruined this airline and now it is his turn. Pakistan cricket has been ruined by his brother-in-law. Mukhtar is rumoured to have already got a Canadian nationality–he is all set to make a clean getaway, when the shit hits the roof.

  2. When Pakistan's military establishment was facing itys worst crisis in the month of May 2011, its Defense Minister was absent and preferred to go on foreign visits with the President or the PM to sign business deals with attractive kickbacks. When PNS Mehran was attacked the DM was in USA trying to negotiate in a hurry a deal for procuring more aircrafts for cash starved PIA. He is the front man for AZ, whilst the frontmen for Ahmed Mukhtar is a former employee of Duty Free Shops based in Isloo.

  3. I agree. Pakistan cannot fight even 3 days in the current environment. Every thing is a mess. Terrorists and militants have severely weakedned the country. Politicians are scum bags.
