Fazal Rahim Awan | 8 years ago | Reply I really appreciate the efforts of USAID for the uplifting of educational and cultural standards of least developed and deprived people of Pakistan who are suffering with hardships through the hands of corrupt politicians. I would sincerelly suggest to USAID management to please keep strict vigilence and transparency on financial matters to make corrupt staff away from your missionary task of serving the humanity to make the PAK-US tie strengthend under the embrella of friendship.
Observer | 8 years ago | Reply @Last Man Alive: You seem to be having racism for Sindhi people by saying 'Sindhi rulers' instead of just 'rulers'. Learn to behave like a civilized man!
