I mean really?
“Our party appreciates the spirit behind the initiative. However, it feels that any conditionality with such assistance must respect Pakistan’s sovereignty and self-respect.” (Pakistan debates US aid bill: AJE News)
Says PML-N Chief, the opposition leader. Sounds like- give us alms, but honor us too!
A self-respecting country does not ask for or take alms.
Parliament is not expected to reject the bill, but was likely to pass a resolution highlighting its concerns.
Big deal!

Pakistan is a failed state. The land of the pure is full of impurity. it just shows how ourtdated is the concept of religion as a glue for the modern nation-state.
We still stick to the book of 650.
That is an “oxymoron” question..
Everything is wrong with Pakistan.
That is what happens if religion is not kept out of government/politics.
The terrorists they tarined to attack India now are attacking them.
what do they have to show for their ctoizens? 40,000 madrasa built ith Saudi money?
It is a shame , especially when you think what it could have become..
May be we Muslims do not know how to run a modern state
