Hi,
Only federal government through Army can control terrorism issues, tens of Khan can not solve this issue while sitting in KPK. However, normal crime rate has gone down since the arrival of Imran Khan.
My house was swept away by robbers in 2010, and local SHO was involved in robbery. This is what Punjab police is doing under Gullu Butts.
Regards Hafiz
Come on KPK Police. you can catch the culprits as you are no longer a GullU Butt Police. Please work day and night to trace these enemies through tracking technology and punish them severely. It is time to show that you are not a Gullu Butt police.
Naya Pakistan ! Jiye Imran Khan !!
This shows total indifference of Nawaz and his minions to security in the country while Zerb e Azb is on.Provinces have also shown neglect.Punjab has not faced any blasts because of its close relations with all enemies of State which are an open secret now but Punjab is far ahead in rape,murder and decoities. Qabza group is routine now in Punjab and Police helps as MNAs and MPAs are doing this.
