  • ہاں اب یہ ہو گا کہ بیکری پر گھی کے ساتھ بیچنے پر پابندی ہو گی اور پکوڑوں والے ریڑھی پر رکھ کرر بیچا کریں گے۔ اور لکھا ہو گا
    نیز فرائی سمیں بھی دستیاب ہیں

  • I wonder on whom we should put blame of spreading of illegal sims, either mobile companies are responsible for it, who spread millions of illegal sims just to earn a big share of market profit, or we should blame PTA who very liniently allow mobile companies to have such a big number of sims available…..
