Et tu Mian Sahib! How many of these departments are under the direct control of the Chief Minister? It was your duty to inform your readers of the complete facts. Had it been a PPP controlled province we would have had conjectures and surmises to show how the President benefited form all this corruption. Please be fair and tell us all the facts.
