I am basically a private person.
People didn't wasn't the People's party to come in to power again, so they saw NS a viable alternative not us, because everyone knew we were not ready.
I feel an independent accountability commission should audit all government services.
I wanted to be an outstanding player, that was my ambition.
In fact the experience at Oxford has really helped me later in life.
Compromise for your Dream but NEVER Compromise on your Dream.
Are we Pakistanis, children of a lesser God? Is there one law for the west and one for us? Is our democracy supposed to be only democracy if you give us a no objection certificate?
What most people didn't realize in the Western countries is that here its not a question of having supporters, its a question of getting these votes to the polling stations.
