Crook
Is that enough reason to doubt someone’s integrity ?
No, never till he is in PTI.
Zardari has 27 sugar mills in Sindh and Shareef family has 8 in Punjab. Jahangeer Tareen only has 3. Not mentioning Zardari’s or Shareef’s profits indicate where did the LIFAFA go. You are just doing what every other LIFAFA sahafee is doing.
He made everything by eating the country .
The poor do not have one time bread.But all these are robbers But none of these love of country.
Bashing some for success and been in power does not mean he/she has ponder nation wealth, every company/mill has to do what’s best for them, why don’t share profit before in power why only after in power ? loss/profit happens regardless of in or out of power and i am not PTI Supporter just clearing facts
