Sitting of Nawaz Sharif with Obama in Hague conference is just not by chance,it is to thank him for allowing safe passage to all TTP fighters to Syria.Shame for us these rogues where killing Pakistanis on daily basis on payment from USA/KSA now under false cease fire and peace talks TTP fighters are quietly being transported to Syria.Even our army chief/ISI is party to it.What was the fault of those 70000 people killed by TTP. Our leadership sell itself every time cheaply in all counts in next 1 year for $ 3billions only and we remain short of genuine peace and harmony in complete Pakistan..
