Beautiful...............I am surprised the policeman protecting his head even when he is seen wearing an impact free helmet. May be next time while charging baton he will remember that it hurts more without a helmet. Mamnoon Hussain who would in the world commit such a great sin by asking for your resignation. Even today if you go into the mob the protesters will offer you tea & paratha.

This is indeed very hilarious. However, NFP missed out the hilarious part where the fake policemen were tickling fake protesters in fake Islamabad. And then there were fake bullets drawn by some kids in fake X-rays taken of fake protesters. And to top it off, how could he miss out on all the pious, noble and honest people in the parliament (who came there on absolutely genuine votes of the people) condemning the highly corrupt Imran Khan? That would have made this article even more hilarious.
P.S: Let us not get into the fake 14 deaths in Model town. That is just too fake.

Very sad to see people making a mockery of such an important juncture in country's history which will determine how our country is ruled in future. Of course the major blame goes to PTI for turning such an important cause into a farce with IK leading by always comparing the current situation with a cricket match thus turning the whole situation into entertainment for a lot of people
