  1. The military generals and top politicians of PAKISTAN in power are the real enemy of that country who are indulged in constant war phobia with INDIA with an objective to conceal their misdeeds. Most of the top politicians and military generals of Pakistan are enjoying a luxurious life in foreign heavens by looting resources of Pakistan while people are forced to live in acute poverty and backwardness. This fact must be realized by people otherwise these looters will completely destroy Pakistan in coming years by continuing war phobia.
