Mirza Jehangir | 7 years ago | Reply Gautam Unisa hahahah...pl check ,maybe your surgical strike took place on your side LOL maybe you killed some of your own people ,like you killed 30 odd Sikh and Hindu pilgrims just before Clinton visit to Pakistan. Also like ''Bombay attack"when you arranged to kill the Police commisioner who had investigated the Samjohta express attack and found that 'surgical strike 'was done by RAW agents. Face up to the lies being fed to you by your government AND stay away from our side or you will remember the consequences for a hundred years
