we hacked toooRecommend
Well the problem is not that the sites are being hacked ….But the fact is that this is just one aspect of bad things happening to us…
We as a nation have to take note of this situation…that almost nobody in the world likes to see Pakistan and almost every financially strong country is against Pakistan…only the output points are different…some show their hate against Pakistan in UNO, some in Security Council, some in front of USA, some in front of European community, some on Cricket fields through false umpiring, some do it by terming Pakistanis as “stooges” as Malcom Speed did, some like INDIA do it on diplomatic front and try to stop aid to Pakistan citing reasons that Pakistan is terrorist or alleging that Kashmir is not part of Pakistan so stop world bank aid to Basha Dam…some do it by hacking websites….some do it by sponsoring terrorism…and some do it by fake currency and harming Pakistan on international trade scene……WOW..
All we need is to be united and be honest to our country and give sound,controlled and sober replies to all these attacks….!!!!!!!!!Recommend
@chona
No one hates pakistan, actually the whole world is providing us with billions of dollars in aid for us to survive. If they hate us, then all they can do is to switch off that aid and then we can all die in hunge, poverty and misery.Recommend
We’re the Pakistani and we know very well how to defend our country.
Pakistani not attacked first, but now Pakistani will reply to india very soon. Because Pakistan have a well known Cyber Force.
Insha-ALLAH Recommend
all the posts above show root cause of what is wrong with pak. Here is a classic of shooting the messenger.
pak punjab govt gives money to terror groups,when these terror groups strike back the reaction is it must be india.Until you learn to tell right from wrong, you will continue to be bombed by the groups you claim don`t exist.
No one doubts the valour of the armed forces of pak. Unfortunaterly it is a case of lions led by donkeys. Pak has spent all its energy fighting india,not only has it ignored the cancer within punjab govt the army infact nurture.
If pak is stong and powerful why does it need a begging bowl?.
Pak deserves better it needs peace,it won`t get it if the views on here continue in similar vein.

it is utterly foolish to respond like this everyone speaks as if only our country is superior but think a bit every country has its own pros and cons and very fortunately india has them too ,in a likely way we can’t tamper with each of ours cybernetics but we have to unite and stand still against those stupid european countries who are dividing us
and r lurking for a chance to divide brothers like us !!!!!!!!!!!!!Recommend
