Last Word | 7 years ago | Reply NS has been called on 15 June by JIT to watch the match between India and BD and some chit chat. One can expect a press release that NS was grilled by JIT for over 8 hours who had to seek medical attention suffering from exhaustion.

Dr Khalil | 7 years ago | Reply A lot is happening in Pakistan. Some are arguing that nothing will come out of JIT. I feel alot has already happened irrespective of JIT outcome. This is a historical event that the most powerful PM will explain his position on the wealth he exported. Futre generation will definitely see declining trend in corruption. Thanks to IK for his persistent struggle.

Ch. Allah Daad | 7 years ago | Reply This proves Prime Minister and his party believes in democracy and rule of law. Hope every future ruler follows traditions set by present government and Judiciary also show same courage esp. dealing with future dictators and dark forces.
