1 min silence for their victims :P
So NAB isn’t going to catch those who paid him? They must be corrupt that is the reason they paid
IKR. The irony is strong with this one.
Sadly, isn’t this the case with WHOLE of Pakistan? People don’t even come forward to lodge a complain in police stations because they know they will get into trouble themselves.
NAB isn’t going to catch those involved in giving bribes, because let’s admit it … they gave bribes BECAUSE they have something to hide. NAB is definitely going to catch those who are making money using their name.
Typical of just another Govt. Institution in Pakistan.
Victims are always common peoples, who’s money is looted by those criminal govt. officials, it didn’t effect them much.
I am with you for a whole 5min
LoL
Chor hain sab begairat
:p
Those who paid him should also be investigated about their source of income.
Haha….quick question – when the victims contact NAB, it will thank them or arrest them!!! Also what will NAB do after this annoucement. It can trace where the money came from and who and we already know why….Country is watching, Sir!
