Pakistan must reject all american/indian designs against our premier security agency: ISI. instead, the ISI should be mobilized against the indian terrorists who are responsible for these heinous acts. the world must wake up to the indian terror instead of blaming the victim. the media must expose the designs and acts of these indian terrorists who are operating freely in the beloved Pakistan.
What will become of us.
Sigh. May Allah help us all, Ameen.
