@CMShehbaz@shehryar_taseer Says the sitting prime minister who govt shelled + lathi charged women , children standing at Liberty chowk Lahore and D chowk Islamabad. You have been forced on us by “neutrals” and you’re worse then a dictator. May you rot in hell.
There is an old Persian adage that if there was no Lahore, Isphahan (Iran) would have been half of the world. According to another ancient proverb, “Even if Persia's Shiraz and Isphahan were united, they wouldn't make one Lahore.”
Such is the allure of this ancient city.
