#Sharam Inko Magar Nai Ateee… #Liars
What legislation have been made by the GB govt after the 18th constitutional amendment?
whats the fun to meet the President , he is there for only 4 days again a joke lol.
Year 2008-2013 was the worst democratic era in the history of GB, no development activity was carried out in the region, I completely agree with the comments of Tajjee, Sana and Jamal Gilgit.
the period of Musharraf from year 2000-2007 was golden period in the history of GB.
