Our last hope is with the judiciary to save Pakistan. The white collar criminals must be stopped from bleeding the country.

I don't trust any word that comes out of his mouth. He has made his money through corruption and should be brought to justice. He also tried to fool the whole nation by buying media and journalists.

Riaz is called real estate tycoon in the media. I believe he is the most cruel land grabber. He grabbed land by decieving thousands of people. Then he bought everybody in government, including the president, to protect him. It is time that he should return everything that he has looted.
