How long shall we continue to accept this war of deception?
Indians have acheived their objective and that was to destroy Pakistan's economy. When are we going to ask questions to the evil neighbour.
 
Very bad news dont know when these things will finish cant see ending,this is due to friendship with US and their secret agents throughout the country also Indian RAW also involved and mostly we should blame government because of their failed foreign policy.Dont know what will happens in future.But wish our country safe.
 
Very sad news, GOP should give minimum 5 million rupees to security guard's family for compensation.
