Rumor has it that PM has approved actions against those 20 something political personalities and their names will eventually come out.

Now bacha bacha in Pakistan knows that vast majority of politicians are drenched in criminality. All Karachi parties are involved in terrorism, some of the parties operate like mafia whole other have gangs under its wings. But the moment these politicians land in any kind of hot waters for their crimes, every bloody Tom, Dick and Harry cries establishment, establishment to come to their rescue.

Pakistan has to be the only country where throwing the buzzword establishment makes biggest criminals get ample public sympathy and support. Height of blind hatred and stupidity.

Want to turn mass murderers and dacoits into heroes - just say they’re being chased by establishment. Simples.

KARACHI: Pakistan Rangers Sindh has recommended a crackdown on terror-funding activities across Karachi, in which the law-enforcing agency claims several influential personalities of Sindh are directly involved.
