Free ride, no care for nation or problems (political prayers and Umrah) which has been tradition of Pakistan officials when they stay in power. God save Pakistan and accept our prayers during Ramadhan to bring honest, country lover and sincere leaders, in future, and time is about to come, Inshallah.

It is a pity that our leaders have no care for the bewildered nation. They only spend their plundered money by visiting the holy places for prayers and laundering clean their sins. What a wishful lot trying even to deceive the Ultimate Judge of everything!
