Looting spree

Published April 15, 2008

Nothing will change after the general elections of 2008. All those who plundered and looted national wealth are back enjoying a good reputation; their sins have been forgiven, thanks to the National Reconciliation Ordinance. In the past, it used to be someone's era for a few years, to loot and enjoy followed by the other one to do the same. Now, “sub mil ke lootein gey.”
