  1. No funds were available when Chitral was disconnected from the rest of the world and people were dying trying to cross Lowari. This includes the incumbent Prime Minister who is in power for the third time. Now suddenly when he needed to inaugurate projects before going down in Panama case, funds are generated magically. This is not how a country should work.

  2. Afreen apki phateecher soch par Sami Islam sahib. Look! the next tenure is also written in the name of Nawaz Sharif. He will never step down on the demand of a corrupt bureaucrat’s son.

  3. It is so sad that everything in Pakistan is tailored to the whims, likes and dislikes of an individual at the helm of affairs. There is no importance of institutions and genuine needs and requirements of the people.
