  1. There is a lot of difference between talk the talk and walk the walk. The present Govt. does only the first one!

  2. Hey Zardari and Ashraf,if you want to preserve the rights of not only the minorities but all Pakistanis,pass the contempt law for all of us and not just you crooks so we can all do wrong and not be held accountable.What rights????? what preservation???? what steps???? which Pakistan and which government are you talking about????If you people are going to lie,atleast don't insult our intelligence.

  3. A country where the rulers are not only above the law but are also extremely corrupt can never ensure equal rights for every citizen. The only guarantee is to have the speech of Quaid-e-Azam of 11th August 1947, before the constituent assembly of Pakistan as the basis of our constitution. Hindus, Ahmadis, Christians, Shias and linguistic minorities must feel confident to live a respectable life in a country which was created in the name of Islam "peace".

  4. clown prince zardari and raja's words help fill newspapers columns -what about the rights of Shias who get murdered in your streets on daily basis – you have turned a blind eye as far as the Shias are concerned for you are the stooges of wahabis

  5. P.M and President mean that every Pakistani will be F**U**C**K**E**D with exactly in same manner. It means ever one's life will be miserable without discrimnation.

  6. making people leave is a well planned strategy. Remember Gilani,s interview with Becky Anderson where he why dont they leave is stopping them. Why Rehman Malik is trying to stop them leaving. Is is not what they want.

  7. Yea right – ask Salman Taseer that for trying to protect a christian woman from a truly blasphemous law – ask the late minister of minorities Mr. Bhatti – that and the morons celebrating killers like Qadri. Who are you trying to fool? You are sold to wahabi riyals. Now let them open some more madrassahs to brainwash whatever little brain there is left in Pakistan in the name of "religion".

  8. Minorities must leave Pakistan. What is left of Pakistan and all those wahabis.. nuke them to painful death..no one should be alive to give proper funeral to these wahabis who have butchered Christians, Hindus, sikhs, Ahmedyias, Qadians, Hazaras, Balochs and beofre that millions of Bengalis..
