Well done Mr.Hamid Khan! Hey, Mr.Nazir Naji, where are you now? Please write a column on the defeat of Asma Jahangir's group as you wrote on the win of Asma Jahangir 1 year ago and you argued that the strength of pro-cheif justice group had shaken.But I am sure, you pen will remain silent this time.
thank God!just hate bloody Asma Jehangir…..Baal Thakray's girlfriend!!
Asma Jehangir has taken too much attention. Her hidden personality and professionalism has surfaced now. It was a disaster the way she conducted herself in Haqqani's case. She has earned a well deserved defeat in the elections. Time and again we have been befooled by people like her and Aitazaz Ahsan.
Defeat of Aasma is the defeat of PPP goverenment………… defeat of law brokers
