Vehicles worth Rs2.3 billion to be distributed just in Rawalpindi.
That in itself shows the pathetic state of mind of this 'leadership' - people are dying right left and centre because of (take your pick) terrorism, treatable/preventable disease, tainted medicines, capitalist exploitation...to name a few. Did I mention the number made jobless due to electricity and gas theft by criminal friends of these 'leaders'?
Only sustainable way forward for this country is to replace these goons since they are incapable of changing their wasteful way of thinking.
