@ Iram
You saved me from typing :)
What are you doing in PMLQ? Lets join hands with PTI, teh the only patriot party of Pakistan.
@Ordinary Villager. You should also proof read before you tell ET.....it's Mushahid Hussain not Mushahid Ullah..hahhahaha. But yes he is agreat choice and he indeed will help stabilise relations between Mil and Civilians.
I have met him. I cannot understand why he is so loyal to PMLQ. He is a actually a nice guy and more patriotic than many other politicians. I am not a PPP supporter at all but this decision is not bad at all. I hope Mushahid ullah will either switch to PMLN ( his parent party) or to PTI and he could benefit tremendously to these parties. He is educated, wise and keen about the issues of Politics and he is very much prolific about many issues which are plaguing our country. A small message to ET that please Proofread your articles as now it contains many errors. Please correct the word eelcted in the above news piece.
A good decision despite his political attachment.
I might not like his political party but he is a smart man who came back to US after finishing his education to serve pakistan........he wasn't son of some billionaire who know that they will get power, he came back and worked his way to the top, yes not a glorious way but what else could he have done.
he will serve the interests of pakistan, or at least he has the foresight, his conversations with Dr. Shaid Masood are always enlightening.
