Next year inshallah Railways ministry will go to PPP. They will take it to greater heights of prosperity.

Because of hatred of people like you the country was divided in past. Typical pro Punjab establishment comment
The economy under PPP has almost always seen a sharp decline. Look up why certain countries are rich and almost exclusively, it’s free markets and ease of conducting buisness. PPP wants high tariffs and more taxation. Why do you support Zardari? Under his leadership Pakistan faced so many terrorist attacks and his response was to spend less on military? To ignore the Afghan border.
Thats because they care about poor and want to take from rich and distribute to poor in form of subsidies, income support, healthcare etc. They are the ones who saved Pakistan.
LoL
