  1. For the moment Mr AZ's politics of reconciliation has Driven Pakistan to bankruptcy thru corruption, lawlessness, targetkillings, kidnapping s, cronyism etc etc ,but has done nothing for masses, or for democracy.

  2. these problems are the results of mindless policies of estabalishment over 66 years,asif zardari did very well to take all political forces along together

  3. Asif zardari,s patience and tolerance is examplary, he has done a very good job under very difficult conditions.nawaz sharif is very stubborn and far less tolerant

    • In response to your contention that zardari did a very good job under difficult conditions, i want you to consider the following facts.
      1. The load shedding is at an all time high.
      2. PIA, Steel Mills, Railways are all bankrupt.
      3. 25 to 30 % un employment.
      4. Record school closures.
      5. Target killings , suicide bombings every day occurance.
      6. Drone attacks on the increase.
      7. Pakistan as a country is bankrupt, because of huge national debt yearly increases.
      8. Ruppee per dollar is 107. Use to be in 60's.
      9. zardari's and Nawaz sharif and his beloved brother's Foreign Bank Accounts DOUBLED.
      I can go on and on.

      This is what Zardari accomplished.I do not believe Nawaz Sharif is going to be any better.

  4. yes, very true people have already started saying that ppp govt was much better than nawaz sharif,s.I think it is very easy to criticise someone,but very hard to actually perform better

      • And u must be a khaba TATA of Nawaz Sharif or Taliban Khan in whose govt DI Khan jail was under occupation for 2 hours and TalibanKhan-cum-Nawaz govt did nothing. What a crap! Oil prices broke records in 90 days. What a crap 500 billions paid to friendly Capitalists of PMLN but loadshedding worsened. NS broke corruption records of 5 yrs PPP rule within 90 days

        • Lazim you have shown what area of Lahore or any city come from.Mostly such garbage comes from Hira Mandi.

  6. To punish the oppressor of humanity is indeed clemency; today the ordinary poor people are leading a miserable life; no water, no gas, no electricity.

    He must be charged for human rights violations along with those pathetic puppets who supported him

  7. I appreciate Mr President's vision and would like to say that it is necessary for the well being and prosperity of the country . The maturity among the political leaders is very important and they must show and apply it. Pakistan is facing the bundle of problems and to get ride from its the unity , maturity and positive statements like President sb of all political leaders and also massed is very important and should remain. with the alongside of political leaders the spotters of various wings should calm down and will quiet to criticize them especially to use rough language against them. I also a spotter of democracy and i realize that criticism is a part of democracy but rough language shows commentator's thinking mentality. you should remain positive and appreciate their good work and do effect able criticize to their unsatisfying work. GOOD LUCK
