    Well ofcourse inmates get special remission in sentences. Most of them are zardari's friends and the others are ppp jiayalas. Only in Pakistan can criminals be rewarded and law abiding citizens trampled upon. Every one of ppp leadership is a convicted criminal.

    Who will grant zardari remission when he goes to prison. I have faith in this country and its people that one day, very soon, we will have the decency to put people like zardari in jail without hesitancy. And yes his 60 million dollars in swiss accounts + other assets will also be brought back to the treasury of pakistan where they belong.

    Pakistani bhashendo abb uth jao, bahot sahleay yay julm ka nizam !!!

    Pakistan zindabad.
