Good
I used to respect him, given his fight against religious extremists. Now, I'm not so sure.
ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL
PML Q is more of a hibernating party for the politicians... its election season so after hibernating for five years in PML Q and enjoyed the luxuries of power it is time to join party who looks like winning the elections. We will see some of these names flocking back to PML Q if their objectives are not fulfilled and will take another period of hibernation!!!
From Sharif Brothers to Musharrf to Chaudhries and now back to Sharif Brothers… WoW what politician we have!!!!
So with the help of this gentleman BA (Inter. Fail) , PMLN is going to declare education emergency if they are to form next govt. God Help Pakistan.
Isn't this the same Minister for Vocational Education who was named by the media as having fake qualifications? Has PML-N confirmed his degrees before taking him on board? Or will they be shocked when ECP throws him out during scrutiny of his nomination papers?
Everything is fair in war and dirty politics :)
Thank you Shahbaz Sharif and PMLN for setting up University in Jhang. May you live long.
Typical Punjab's constituency politics, it has no impact whatsoever on the bigger stage.
This is real change ! It is in line with PML-N agenda of bringing fresh & untainted leaders
great deceion to strong PMLN and Pakistan,
JAY NAWAZ SHRIEF JAY PMLN JAY PAKISTAN
What an opportunist.He chose to sit with PPP in the govt and was all out against HEC.Now when the govt is within 48 hours from completing its term,he is joining PMLN.
wow..so PML N is going to make a better Pakistan with Musharraf's PML Q !!
PTI gets Mussarat Ahmed Zeb, a well known social worker from sawat and PMLN gets Sheikh Waqas! Dear voters use your common sense will you?
Good decision by Sheikh Waqas.
