Every one should now replace their party flags (MQM, PPP, PTI etc) with the NATIONAL FLAG on their houses and mohallas.
ALL politician (and mullahs) should PUBLICLY visit Pak troops around the country and boost their morale, and let them know the whole country behind them.
I added mullahs because if these people dont stand up now after all the mess they have created to help Pakistan, we will NEVER forget their behavior.
Its high time that government, military and media realize that now its coming to them. The show they've been watching for 10 years; thousands of people butchered on the name of religion and ethnicity. Its coming to their doorstep. These barbarians have started blowing off military camps, they're killing ministers, they're hunting down policemen and they've killed media persons. It's about time. WAKE UP!
A humble advice to the government: Launch a military offensive. Announce that the nations on war. Bomb these animals! ORELSE, if you let this happen, in no time they'll be ruling over you. History is witness to what happens to such lousy wussy leaders.
May Allah save us!
@Ch. Allah Daad What about Bilochistan, sindh government?
Operation time. NS, where are you?
Atleast IK is huffing and puffing, no matter if he is right or wrong, demanding some action, no matter if he is right or wrong. BUT....Where is there deathly silence from the Sharif brothers?
@Imran
Funny you taking time out, reading news & commenting on Failed state.
PTI government has completely failed in KP. It should resign, if it has any honour left.
Why is that in a country that was formed as a sanctuary for muslims, more muslims are being killed every year than the rest of the world put together?
Saudi Arabia is a brotherly state, they said.
RIP....hope this joke ends in papistan
Failed state
Lack of holistic approach and indecisiveness.
Imran and Nawaz! Please restore law and order. Nail your militant wings if you don't want to eliminate them.
