This PM s act is exemplary. He is sincere in his deeds
I don t belong to any political party in Pakistan but I must say that Pakistan has an honest and caring leader they ever had beside MA Jinnah and his close associates. It is so sad that the corrupt politicians has brought the country to a stage where Pip squeak countries in the Middle East meddle in the internal affairs of Pakistan. When would Pakistanis ever stand up on their own feet and be a leader in the world. Pakistanis are as hard working and intelligent as anyone in the world if provided a good leadership and facilities beside world class education.
