Some of us do the right thing in emergency situations like these:
Sitting in Lahore was on call with our office in Rawalpindi and suddenly they said #EARTHQUAKE, I asked them to hang up and leave. I was telling my colleagues here about what and the building starting shaking here too. So tremors travelled from Rwp to Lhr in what 5 seconds?!

There are reports that after-shocks will follow. Keep watching this space as we will keep you updated on the situation.
Wake up calls for everyone , let us review ourselves. Bigger responsibilities in authorized ones busy in their own affairs. How cruel we are !!! no more words for our daughter Zainab.
Dear not for everyone but the people who elect or select the wrong and the looters and never do their accountability thus they help the wrong and displease the Allah.
Never vote for ppp pti or similar other corrupt parties again.
If the Muslims would sell their faith and the Din Allah will not be pleased with them and will not be defending the wrong because it is against his status.He is very straight forward with the people in having relationship, be mine ,I will be yours. So it is up to the mankind to thing about its priorities either he will choose the minting or fighting for the justice and equality in the society that ensue we all to have access to justice and have lived with respect and prosperity but never as the beggars as made by our rulers cheating for the last 70 years in the name of Islam,democracy,socialism and many more.
Lol, look who is in fear? Humaima Malik… The garbage of Pakistan. The puppit of India.
