Unfortunately Mush has allowed MQM to flourish and stage a come back after it was seriously dismantled by our very own army

Involved or not but he will be blamed for every wrong or good Shaukat Aziz or his cabinet or their government has done. I feel PM and interior minister are to be blamed for this. Apart from this outlet in F-9 there is another one in Jinnah Park rawalpindi quite near to GHQ. Both these...
