Pakistan is the most beautiful country, no doubt with the sheer beauty of its valleys and landscapes. Unfortunately some elements are destroying its peace and harmony and preventing its peace loving people to benefiting from these beauties as economic opportunities to prosper.
These elements have disgraced the great religion Islam and are trying to make the whole world hell.
