@Ganga Din This is the real Pakistan as well the Bridal Couture week is also part of the real Pakistan. Accept diversity, millions of people cannot look alike and dress in the same way. Plus there is bound to be difference in the Urban and Rural areas. There is peace in 98% areas Pakistan, save the few incidents. Millions of Pakistanis go about in there daily chores of going to offices, going to schools, going shopping, but the media won't pick these news as the bad news is newsworthy for them, and the rest of things mentioned is routine .

I have been reading BBC news from last 14 years. I have been noticing that BBC is very biased when it comes to portray Pakistan on BBC news. I think BBC is dominated by or invaded by Indian lobby. There is a pattern of such news on daily or weekly basis. I can qoute you such a hundered biased news .BBC has lost the their dignity and importance in front of my eyes.

@Mr Khan "I have been reading BBC news from last 14 years. I have been noticing that BBC is very biased when it comes to portray Pakistan on BBC news. I think BBC is dominated by or invaded by Indian lobby." C'mon. That's not fair. You have no proof for such claims. The fact is that in the West in general, Pakistan has fallen out of favor. For instance, there was a Gallup poll last year that showed India as the 6th most liked country in US while Pakistan was the 3rd most disliked country. There is no shadowy Indian lobby that is maligning Pakistan. Blame your fundies for that.
