Their lordship, Supreme Court of Pakistan has been showing extreme clemency towards this regime thus far but our ‘may bay’ Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and his godfather Asif Ali Zordari are not going to budge a little in terms of compliance of Apex Court judgment whereby the regime has been directed to withdraw the [...]
