  1. Is it any wonder these politicians are being targeted everywhere, be it Karachi or peshawar. Its dusgusting that they are illiterate & also morally vile.

    Hang each PPP leader.

  2. All these people are so not cool. They are living on our taxes. & act like gods on the roads with their massive security protocol.
    May Allah bring them to justice and ruin them all. Amen!!!

  3. @kamran: is it really free money? No i dont think so. Its a public account. Its your share as well. Since you didnt get it what are you so happy about.

  4. PPP Govt obtained loans from commercial banks at high rates and disbursed as charity. No one know where this money has gone. I wonder every time Chaudhris are the main beneficiaries.

  5. The only thing is
    What is the mistake of contractors who took the tenders
    And have done 80 % of work done from their pockets
    And now CJP take action
