    People who are ‘dancing’ because of Supreme Court’s order regarding Nawaz’s disqualification have no idea what’s good for them. Their country is being destroyed right in-front of their very eyes, yet they’re too foolish to see it coming.

    Ever wondered why Panama leaked Hillary Clinton’s Email (35 Thousand, to be exact, from her private server) yet did nothing regarding Donald Trump’s so called “RussiaGate”. It’s now a proven fact that US elections were meddled by Russian hackers and at least 21 US States were hacked. And if that’s not enough, Russian bloggers endorsed GOP (Republicans) and fabricated completely fake stories to defame Hillary.

    Ever wondered why once strong and stable Muslim world powers like Egypt, Libya, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Qatar and even Malaysia (to some extent) are now in shambles and are suffering from terrible civil and political unrest?

    Is this all a coincidence? That all strong Muslim countries are now struggling and suffering from civil war like crisis?

    Thing is, Pakistan is a NUCLEAR power. And only way to take on our strong nation is to divide and conquer.

    Abraham Lincoln once said: “A house divided by itself cannot stand”.

    And that’s the strategy of anti-Islamic powers lurking in the world.

    Nawaz is a centrist man. While PPP & PTI both are liberal political parties and are nothing but poison for our cause.

    Remember 1998? I bet that no other political leader except Nawaz would have had the courage to take a strong stance on Pakistan’s Nuclear Missile testings. Bill Clinton & all NATO countries took a strong notice of it and warned Pakistan not to conduct its missile tests, yet Nawaz insisted and made us a Nuclear Power…

    And if that’s not a sign of a true patriot then I don’t know what is…

    And like I said, this Panama Pajama is nothing but a sad excuse to disqualify the strongest political leader of Pakistan just to put our country in chaos.

    Think about it, if you can.

    Good Day!
