Assalamoalaikum.
Can anyone explain why Nawaz Sharif sahib is wearing a poppy on 25th April.
Most of the British establisment, and much of the British Public wear the poppy on around mid October to commemorate the
Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom (UK)to honour the heroic efforts, achievements and sacrifices that were made in past wars. The main observance is on the second Sunday in November, but 2 minutes of silence is also made on November 11.

Nawaz Shariff, after his trip to Saudi Arabia, rushed to London, to inform the British, the old Rulers of Arabia, and Pakistan, something, that Pakistanis would like to know. What are Pakistan's, plans now? Are the British going to lead some special military operation in Yeman, and Paksitan will work under the British command, or British and Pakistan will support a Democratic Rule in Yeman, with no interference by the House of Saud.

Its a diplomatic disaster. Why did Nawaz decided to visit War memorial identified with Attack on Ottoman Turkey ? Is he trying persuade Saudis that his Govt is with Imperial forces instead of genuine Muslims of Pakistan and Turkey.
As far as I remember, in the past, our heads of states and Govt used to visit the site in Turkey showing solidarity with Turks in Çanakkale (real name of the so called Gallipoli). All of a sudden we have NS laying wreath at the Allied forces war memorial for Galliploi ?

When NS and his whole family goes on these taxpayers paid trips does he sign any deals and do business or does he just get lectured and comes home? Nawaz should observe Modi and learn a thing or two. Im no Indian and don't like Modi per se but I have to give him credit he is a savvy businessman and Modi means business.

Nawaz should ask UK to provide leadership and teaching in Pakistan Political Judicial system; he should study how the UK NHS system work to implement same in Pakistan. He should ask how the Chinese firm help built British Infra structure, he can implement same in Pakistan to use Chinese investment more efficiently in Pakistan. How should ask UK how to cure corruption in Pakistan, though these is one option in Pakistan to use Mr. Aziz of Lal masjid and make him chief of NAB, and use his suicide bombers to punish all involve in corruption and stealing, we have issues with Mr. Aziz way of preaching, but have no issues with his sincerity, he will be assets to Pakistan in dealing with corruption which is eating Pakistan like termite, all the national and provisional assemblies are filled with such termites. Pakistan should use its resources appropriately.

Hellooo Mian Sahib, you've already sold your soul to the House of Saud, now you will also sell out to the Brits who destroyed the Ottoman Empire through treachery and deceit - not to mention what they did to the Mughal Empire by pillaging the jewels from both which are in the possession of QE II.
This is what happens when Nawaz advisors are guilty of pathetic ignorance which is reflected in this ceremony where Nawaz is looking like a fool. It's obvious his ignorant "advisors" don't know an iota about the devious history of the duplicitous Brits against Islamic empires. Truly shameful!
