  1. How can Bilawal be allowed to be present in an official meeting between the UK PM and President of Pakistan. Are we a monarchy, or are we a democratic country?. President Asif Zardari considers himself to be above laws and official protocol requirement that dictate official meeting between sovereign states. Is he trying to prove that we are a BANANA REPUBLIC or a FAILED STATE?, Is this Democracy's revenge?.

  2. Did Prime minister, Deputy foreign minister,foreign ministry know of President Zardaris' meeting and inclusion of his son still not in age to qualify any national responsibility? President has become virtual king already under the noses of parliament and judiciary..Is president authorized constitutionally to take up national issues with foreign governments as his current subject meeting.Is he not violating constitution, an impeachable offense vindicated by recent LHC court judgment. .Pakistan is not MR Zardaris 'jagir' or property to treat it as he or his son would wish.It must stop now.
