  1. We are listening from many years that there is project between Iran and Pakistan on gas pipeline, and it had not started yet. This project should start as early as possible otherwise he mentioned the fine and current situation of Gas in our country is not very good.

    • .
      Why is he talking about Iran paying fine …
      As far as I know, Iran's side of the pipeline is already complete …
      .

  2. 3 cheers for PML-N government for going ahead with the Life-Line i.e. Pak-Iran Pipe-Line.

    • They r just passing time , becoz of tremendous pressure from Saudi Arabia and USA. Their line runs like this. "Dont stop the project, and after sometime run a campaign against this project by hiring Columnists and anchors who wud run Talkshows on stupidity of this pipeline. Then after sometime when public opinion is diluted, project will be shelved off."

  3. pakistani kanjar politicians will beg donations from usa and end this project….there is 2 ways to bring pakistan on its feet 1. end democracy and bring shria system and 2nd kick out usa from asia .why there is protests going on only in islamic countries?coz united states controlling them..why there is no protest in iran?just think about it shameless pakistani kanjar politicians and media
