  1. Hope professionals will manage finance and water and power to get us out of financial mismanagement and perpetual power outages.

  2. No they will not curse the tind but sense something serious wrong inside his tind.
    At this time if shairf would try to follow the political experience of Ibrahim Lincoln by allowing his worst rivals to join his team of management then it might show better result than what leaders usually do in favor of their own people.Like power ministry can be handed over to malik riaz, law ministry to Atizaz and education to Asad omer with his brother who is part of PML then I am sure people would see the difference. But who would insert this advice on flat tinds of lahore who are still not believing that they got fair majority to run state and Punjab.

    • @ Both Ns above. You people are very naughty but the first N needs to be decent. In t,he 80's we used to call them CT BT & a friend added NPT. What CT BT stands for is Choti Tind , Bari Tind and NPT means NAL payoo the Tind. But of course they were exiled and reappeared as quite hairy after their expensive hair transplants. But the world was young and I was then in Pakistan. I wouldn't say any thing like this now. BLAST FROM THE PAST. LOL
