Disappointed Pakistani | 9 years ago | Reply what a shame...... how can he just go out of country when our children are not safe? they are targets of terrorists and now they are being molested, raped and tortured. This is our PM???? Are children of Pakistan now the top most priority of Pakistan? what would have been the reply to the Kasur tragedy if the victim children were from the families of armed forces of Pakistan? Why is there no justice for poor in this country? who will investigate and punish the police for protecting the culprit of this heinous crime?

Usman | 9 years ago | Reply One of the most important countries of the world , Belarus, really deserves a three day visit by our PM. Of course the honorary title of Professor and tourism are not the real reasons for this visit.

Disappinted | 9 years ago | Reply How uncouth and ruthless our leadership is. All they enjoy is going to Turkey and Belarus and woud not give a damn about the victims of Kasur. This is because these things don't hit them, they are living the luxurious lives travelling in BMWs and living in big mansions. Kuch tou sharam karo, Allah ke paas bhi jaana hai.

Parvez | 9 years ago | Reply Good, we need to build relationships with countries around us.
