Probably these are the ones who would want to "keep the poor suffering people in their place" and have a "FOR SALE" sign around their neck and are hoping for ample rewards from US!!!

Independent elect-candidates join the leading party normally. Hope that they will represent PML-N led federal govt well in FATA.

Only PML N can save the country, lets play our role because this is our country and we all have responsibility to contribute.... Imran khan has to prove himself in KPK and if given model government I hope next time can win national level otherwise wiped out!

Is this the vision PMLN has for "Naya Pakistan". Nothing has changed and will never change as long as same old crooks takes turn to run the country.
