  • ironiv how the pdm came to fight inflation for common man’s sake, took dollar from 200 to 330 and still claim to have steered country out of crisis.

  • Curse, people are sleeping on such a government, until they come out, these thieves will continue to do the same thing, remember

  • Technically speaking, as a poor nation this is the time to change the lifestyle and attitude. Watching TV or relying on any political leader will be the most damaging idea.

  • پاکستان تیل ڈالر میں امپورٹ کرتا ھے، ظاھر ھے جب ڈالر اوپر جائے گا پٹرول کی قیمت بھی زیادہ ھوگی. لیکن خزانہ کا منہ کھول کر حکومت سب کو سستا تیل دے سکتی ھے جیسے عمران دیتا تھا. قرض لے لے کر عوام کو سبسڈی دیتا تھا بیچارہ. اب واپس کرنے کیلئے ڈالرز نہیں تو سبسڈی بھی نہیں اور برے آج والے ھوگئے. تبھی کہتے ھیں تعلیم ضروری ھے خاص کر پاکستانی قوم کیلئے کہ اصلیت اور حقائق جان سکیں
