What is the basis of the statement given by the minister in charge of the cabinet division ? Since when we hv become so honest ? Will anybody disclose facts after SC disqualification of Mr R Malik and Ms Farah Naz ? Come on guys...the day we become honest this country will change, but as of today we are far-off from reality....let us face truth and only then we can change the destiny of this beautiful country, which we are destroying with our own hand...
