Adnan Siddiqi | 9 years ago | Reply Billions of rupees lost, investors like Jahangir Tareen, Aleem Khan and Azam Swati made bankrupt, innocent people died in Islamabad and Multan, visits of heads of states cancelled, state symbols ransacked, pillaged and attacked with impunity, policemen beaten into pulp, hardened criminals forcefully freed from police custody, diverted attention of KPK government from governance which led to massacre at APS on 16th December, abusive language laden with expletives, lies, deceit, hypocrisy, UMPIRE'S FINGER, making alliances with target killers, extortionists and agents of RAW against an elected government.....all for what? The formation of a lousy commission which was already agreed upon by the PM on 13th August, 2013? 21 gun salute to the political wisdom or lack thereof of the Mianwali dude.

Adnan Siddiqi | 9 years ago | Reply Finally the deal is sealed on "Muk Muka" and "Noora Kushti." "I will die but wouldn't leave D-Chowk without Nawaz Sharif's resignation in my hand." Didn't know that the intelligence of an average fan boy can be so lousy.
