PML Noon is a party of the criminals, for the criminals, by the criminals. PERIOD.
@M Ali: Dear Mr. Ali !! With utmost respect i would request you not to label every single person using internet as "PTI TROLL"... This is so not fair. You are calling the trolls to behave and act civilized but at the same time you are naming every person a PTI Troll? Does that make you any different to the trolls?
I am an overseas Pakistani working here to feed myself & family and i do not belong to any political party at all. I am an educated guy like so many others living abroad because we don't get jobs. From where i look at things, it's pretty much evident that someone is involved in this (rigging) & it's everyone's right to know who did this fraud. Is it not a matter of genuine concern to you if someone steals from you? Would you not want it back or atleast get it investigated? Will not ask for justice or will you just leave it as it is just because you don't want trouble? Will your troubles be gone if you don't react to this?
Do you think our problems will be solved if we stay quite & not ask for justice? Just because it's testing time for the nation doesn't mean that you lose your moral, your values. It's the job of the govt organization to work & perform according to the laws they have set for us all. Testing times or honeymoon period, govt must perform & deliver or step aside and let some one else do the job.
This is the reason, in my humble opinion, Pakistan is suffering this much because we, the people, don't take a stand against the injustices of our society & state as a whole.
If you can't stand by the truth, atleast don't ask others to quit.
@M Ali: we can not help keeping him away , the only solid , disciplined, strategic institute in Pakistan
@M Ali: There is no dearth of such passives in the country. You lack the ability to face reality which is that PML N has destroyed the society due to its uncouth character which thrives on all negatives even criminal actions. Don't forget the murder of 14 innocent men and women in Modal Town, wish you were one of them.So wake up and don't try to be a silly reformist.
@anam:
Get your heads straight PTI trolls. At the peak of the Inquilab march the army had a clean shot at the throne, it passed it on, that tells you everything you need to know. We finally have a COAS who is doing what it takes to be on the right side of history - I detest PML-N as much as any PTI supporter, but stop bringing the army into matters where it doesn't belong.
PML-N won through rigging. Army should impose martial law to finish terrorism completely.
We are with you and will remain always.
Nader Haal??? Or Nader Hall of district
And ? where is the result?
