Dismentle the syreategi assets as soon as possible . That is the only solution .
Instead of hitting in the crouch talibans just slapped us this time, that is a very positive response, talibans are so kind, thank you so much, I cant believe how nice are talibans, I think Nawaz sharif should thank them more and our ISI chief should also formally thank Taliban for not having kidnapped him or his son!...
Ya Allah, please provide a little bit of courage to Nawaz Sharif.
"Nawaz also said that terror related activities should stop during the talks" ............................................................................................ ............................................................................................and after that? Sir
what? I did not hear that? Killing of so many Pakistanis in just last one week is a positive response? Please handle them rationally and stop playing.
Had this statement been given by IK, this comment section wouldve been full with his bashers.
What will Nawaz do if the Saudi crown prince requests a meeting with Musharraf?
