More than eight months have passed since the Pakistan People’s Party has assumed the role of ruling party and though they are enjoying full powers in every facet of the government, they have miserably failed to rectify even one thing. Their only consistent mantra is to blame the previous regime for everything. They don’t seem [...]
The truth is that the present government has given nothing but gloom, frustration and desperation to the nation so far and the uglier thing is that there is no hope left for the people.
