Nawaz need to be held accountable. Nawaz need to pay these polio victims out of his pocket. This is due to his negligence. A case should be filed against him. Reimbursement for crippled polio children. A life stolen from them by Nawaz.

In a way Dr. Afridi is also responsible for this rise. His fake polio campaign further cemented the notion of those peoples who were 50% reluctant to administer polio medicine to their babies due to ill founded theories.
