@IHM.... that makes it the greatest moment in history. Politics of personalities and tribal affiliation (as is also proven in Abrar ul Haq's loss in Narowal and the tight race in Gawalmandi) is fading away.
Pakistanis didnt even vote for Allama Iqbal's grandson. Saddest moment in the history of Pakistan..
