Sodomite | 8 years ago | Reply Raheel Sharif is the real leader of Pakistan in every way. And the world sees him that way. Whereas in NYC our so called Sher PM is still trying to line people to meet him. Whilst Merkel had breakfast with Modi, our PM shook her hand and said hello. That was the sum of his meeting.
