Just shows what this government has driven people towards. Vote for Imran Khan to save the country

Normally when people commit suicide over some incident, it reflects some underlying psychiatric illness. I believe that even if he didn't have a problem with his house, some other incident would have set him the fellow off to do something self destructive.
