It is good governance of KHADIM E AALA. they cannot secure punjab and yet talking about federal govt and daydreaming to come in power again in punjab & federal. SHAME on you.
@Qasim: No! No! Because then "them" will steal even more!! Instead pray for gradual intro of Islamic laws, starting with "daylight robbery" on part of both groups of culprits.
There is some justice in this world. Now if only this happened to Rehman Malik or Asif Zardari, maybe the "law & order" situation would improve in this country.
Now thats heartening to know ... thieves hit by thieves(translate in Punjabi) !!!
Disgusted @comments
They were robbing the whole country since day one, now their turn has arrived!!!!!!!!!!!
she is robbed because she is not conventional MNA, most of the conventional MNAs look gangsters theirselves, they move around with dozens of gunmen.
If they can't look after their own female MNAs, how come PML N is going to look after the country.
And the Pakistani nation has been robbed in broad daylight by our politicians since time began.
What goes around, comes around.
@Pawail Qaisar: Lol true
Now the National Assembly will move and Rehman Malik will be taken to the task.
Though the incident happened with MNA who can bear the losses, but just think that how poor people of Pakistan are bearing this nonse which is going on in every nook and corner of the country.
When a common man dies, no body cares as the life of a common man is nothing for the people who are sitting at the helm of affairs, but if some one from the elite die, every body try to go there to give a soulder to the coffin.
This is the reality of Pakistan where law is only enforced on the poor and middle class people though the rich and the poor goes into the same kind of graves where there are no A.C.'s installed for the rich and mighty people.
@FAZ: Ramadan wish; pray and hope it happens EVERY DAY to EACH ONE OF THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES to make them appreciate the pain and sufferings of the ones without security entourage, pickets and barbed fencing.
I wish it happens to some MNA MPA of Karachi as well. Hope they will realize public pain...
