ammara | 9 years ago | Reply what happens to the wheat of the farmer that these children burnt why we always see one side of the picture, why not the complete picture where is the justice for the poor man whose wheat has been burnt

Pakistani | 9 years ago | Reply CM took the notice and then nothing happen like always. If there was a proper police & judicial system, CM doesn't have to take the notice. Now all patwaris will go over the moon in praise for the CM. While if PML(N) has established a proper system in punjab, the system will take the action and not the showbaz CM for his cheap media publicity. Finally, Mark the words, the criminal will be set free after a few months and all will be fogotten and our showbaz CM will have the cheap publicity he was looking for.
