PTI Government is the most useless government when it comes to security of the nation. They are playing negotiating game with the terrorists instead of killing them, that’s why they are become stronger they know the government is scare of them. We miss PML Government Nawaz and Shahbaz Sharif who took strong action against terrorists.

Do celebrities care or do they do this for PR? Where have these voices been for the women of Afghanistan? All we see is lavish wedding and selfies of them taking privileged vacation pictures! I think the public is tired of Pakistani celebrities only turning out t o feed their fans !

So if they didn't feel compelled to offer condolences it would've meant they were not affected? Or are these the only one who have a heart? Or possibly these are the only ones taking advantage of the situation? What is it, can someone please elaborate.
