why they Just belong to Pakistan? they are living in USA and studying there
Exactly my point. Just to take personal benefit everyone remembers being Pakistani.
A 7 US patent holder is on the team.. and they are vouching for cheap marketing tactic to get votes.. new low.
I am not living in Pakistan since years having my own business, I have hired some Pakistanis, I send remittances to Pakistan, I visit Pakistan frequently, I watch Pakistani news channels and comment on social media only about Pakistan…..and I love my country.
Can I have your endorsement /certificate ?
Indians no matter if an overseas Indian was not even born in India proudly own them knowing their achievements, people like you get jealous of overseas Pakistanis who settle abroad and earn but stay connected with their country.
Bro, your services are rendered for a foreign land. The real reason people leave is to have a better standard of living. Work for your motherland if you really care
yeah exactly the likes of Shermin Obaid Chinoy..
