Well, I read the Javed Chaudhry’s column in express about Saiful Islam and his luxuries and the way he was then captured. It tells a lot about the vicissitudes of time. Below are his picture before the arrest and after the arrest.
I don’t know why but he reminds me of Bilawal, Hamza, and Moonis.
We all know that how much colorful nature Shahbaz Sharif has got and not only he is extremely fond of beauties of Lahore, he is also very much interested other activities. So now the junior Sharif is also following the same footsteps with a bang.
Hamza Shahbaz Sharif is also purported to be the next provincial [...]
Media circles have been touting loudly for many years that one of the prime reason of the failure of democracy in Pakistan is the politics of heritage.
