@sarfraz: in case you forgot Nawaz was the last hope in 1990 and 1997 as well
Now he has joined safe heaven of people like him. Family politics is strong in PMLN and will remain with Sharifs. This is not new in status quo parties.
The one who subverted PIA and ADBP, turning both the mega-institutions into rags, joined the party which deserves all goons like him :-)
good decission atleast better PMLN is than PTI mullahs
Topi drama! PPP and PMLn, two sides of the same coin and fate of Pakistanis!
I'm rather perturbed that Chaudhary Ahmad Saeed did not himself fit to submit to the power of CHANGE and Tsunami!
Anything that lowers PPP's sphere of influence is good .
Lot of PTI supporters would have serious stomach pain after learning this news..
Power politics, they dun want themselves to remain out of power.
@ x-ray... I think your "Pakistan" includes only you and some of your like-minded friends.
lol: show another episode in political arena. when'll next episode?
It is going on everywhere. One family member is in PPP, One in PMLN and if there is any young guy in a family then he is in PTI. In Other words a Win-Win for the Elite families and they will continue to rule us and Power will remains in some powerful families of Pakistan as whatever party will win their family members will come into the Parliament. Just visit Attock and other regions and One family constitutes all the parties and we are stupid enough to fall prey to these families.
Thats really great..... People all across Pakistan showing faith and trust on Nawaz Shaif.
WOW....PMLN Rocks!!
Good strategy to keep the family interests safe regardless of who is in government.. Send a family member to PTI too.. just in case :)
Haha! Desperate!
