JAHIL every govt were bagger, do some damn research before commenting.
Tum jeso ky demag sy kemy wala naan abhi tak nhi nikla.

The question is from where the new packed iphone 14 are coming from when import on phones are banned? And incompetence PTA registering that smuggled phone, equally involved in the crime.
