Thats why they all do pappi jhapphi to Chachu
If Pakistan was a rich country this would be ok. Having trillions of Rs in debt we should go around giving gifts while the common man sleeps on empty stomach.
Is this diplomacy worth it?
Sir poor people do not have a right.to live in this land of pure. So let the elite enjoy and poor exterminated.
Very bad decision to fritter away poor Pakistani tax payer money to send mangoes by air at huge cost. So what’s the logic of sending mangoes to strengthen diplomacy with countries with whom we already have good relations? Instead of creating a shortages in the local market the government has unwittingly increased the price of mangoes for the common man. Yes, if you want to show generosity then send mangoes to the traumatized Palestinians victimized by Zionist-Apartheid Genocidal Occupier State of Israel.
