@Adnan Siddiqi: there is a difference between begging and campaign ... when a person is asking for support that certainly does not mean that they are begging !
@Adnan Siddiqi: I dint see or hear him begging. Can you share a video or news in which he has ''begged'' to other parties. This will support your view point with evidence. :)
@Adnan Siddiqi : yeah if you completed your primary education , you would know that the so-called "begging" is called lobbying and it is totally acceptable and permissible to do so in presidential elections like this
PTI will be another friendly opposition...after PTI-PMLN alliance
Man these anti PTI trolls are really funny..look at their comments :D
Speaking of "Begging," the Presidential candidate of PTI recently "Begged" for votes from PPP and PML-N legislators during the recently held Presidential elections!!
@Silas: Why refuse!? If some one is accepting your mandate then they are most welcome. There is no principle that says other parties cannot support PTI!. Please be logical. For e.g.If america says that it will support pakistan's stance over kashmir. In return pakistan says: no, dont support us. You r non-muslims!?!?!
@Fahad: Haha what nonsense. PTI could have refused agar itnay principles kay pakay hain.
@Tahira Shaikh: Nice reply Tahira Shaikh.
PMLN have them selves decided to support PTI.
PTI did not beg them and never will
@Bilal:
when you said "brace yourself", we were all braced for some serious nonsense from you..
Left will win against right
Brace yourselves, another load of lame excuses from the PTI camp arriving soon when this will be termed as a PTI-PMLN alliance
