    very right.

  2. ZEN says:

    Difficulty in facing the truth????? Honesty is difficult to face for this corrupt group.

  3. aamir says:

    One cannot imagine. Is this Pakistan Jinnah had envisioned for? For sure Pakistan is a failed state. It is being robbed and mauled by all the players- politicians-left and right, army………………………………Democracy surely will have different meaning when parties like PPP rule…………….God save world from the non sense of Pakistan

  4. Mohammed says:

    So lets keep pretending that there is no problem. How can corrupt people ever stop other corrupt people. Once again the conspiracy card is played rather than face the real problems.

  5. The Patriot says:

    When caught with fingers in the cookie jar, always play the conspiracy card. Thick Pakistanis will always fall for it !

  6. shab says:

    Bring in Imran Khan. If Erdogan can fix Turkey, we too deserve a chance.

  7. Javed Chaudhry says:

    Action against Sun for what ?…………………………………for exposing the truth ?……..The Govt has an upside down logic for everything.

  8. abbas says:

    I have heard Kaira has decided to sue the SUN.This UK newspaper is well known to expose injustices in society and is also known as the King maker at election times.Now Kaira this is a UK newspaper ,unlike Paki newspapers we enjoy freedom of speech and let you be warned you will be made the laughing stock! Instead of wasting time and energy on this subject matter why dont you and others try to stop the killings of the innocent Shias?At least there you will achieve rewards from God in this holy month

  9. zain says:

    if it was a propaganda then many persons why caught by the police infect our some NADRA officials are commit such crime. it is not a scandle but it is truth. zain

  10. Thinker says:

    Probably a stunt by the Government to take away the attention for the main issues.

  11. Dar says:

    Waste of time. I am sure that The Sun was well briefed by its legal advisers, before it ran the story. No PPP mobs can take to the street of London to intimidate the British Judiciary.
    It would be smarter to ask the Sun for all possible help to prosecute the accused and secure the safety of the Olympics. After the Osama affair, Pakistan's security agencies have zero credibility in the world.
