    • Moulana Sahab,

      Please consider Army ky generals, corrupt bureaucrats, corrupt clerks, corrupt guards, bank walas, teachers, aur aam admi in your dua for the same treatment as in Islam there is no exception for choori….

      For writer:
      How come assistance from UNHCR is considered as “loan” ? , also Japan mostly gives financial assistance not loans to Pakistan.

      Paying back of decade old loans by new loans should also be considered in writing such articles as otherwise Government’s total loans taken would have jumped above $5 billion which current government took as loans.
