WOW .......In my opinion Pakistan must learn .And build strong
relationship with near by countries, such as Afghanistan, Iran,
India, China and so on. It's very important.

NFP for Pakistani Politician you used soft words but for Indian politician especially for Modi you used some arrogant language like Old buffaloes,Om Puri etc. The good comedian always make fun of himself first but the arrogant always make fun of others.

Heyy, come on, both our nations do not lack for whiners. Om probably did not like his name being used so much.. The prawn soup "Gaaaak" was awesome - hard core veggies would actually try to remove the prawn stuck in the throat, exactly like that!

@Ali Shah Nonsense. Calling Indian PM Modi an old buffalo who is respected here isnt comedy.Thats not comedy. Comedy shouldnt let yourself to personally attack. Again I dont have to remember you that such an attitude which I have seen many times comes from your supposedly superiority...
