Pakistan needs to have decentralisation and a good local government system
People wanted to vote for us but the mechanics of getting the voters to the polling stations we didnt have. We did not have the money most of all .
I have no clear idea about this development, however, I have full faith in the government's peace talks committee. I suggest TTP choose its representatives from among its own leadership
In a country where half a million die every year only for drinking polluted water, it is more necessary for us to do something for them.
At the moment we have a ruling class that has one law and the people the other.
Never give up, no matter how hard life gets no matter how much pain you feel. Pain will eventually subside, nothing remains forever, so keep going and don't give up.
