Aleppo is under siege. Please ask immi to get some aid in here. Bacho'n ka mamla hai.. ;)
That's what everyone wants him to do — serve the nation by being a philanthropist, but not serve the nation by taking its charge. In other words, just be another Edhi and let hardcore politicians do their job.

It is clear that certain terrorist elements do not want to see peace prevail in the country. They are trying their best to send the nation into chaos and frenzy. The seriousness of the situation requires us to stand united against the enemies of peace. We send our heartfelt condolences to the victims’ families, and wish a quick and speedy to those who are injured. We stand by the government of Pakistan during these testing times. We have full confidence in their ability to negate the threat of violence and restore peace in the country. We hope to work closely and combine our strength against those who pose a risk to the safety of our nations.
