Two idiots were fighting on the road with each other, another one idiot who was passing that way asked both of them why are you fighting. One idiot said i would like to construct a wall over here, the other idiot said i will demolish the wall. The third idiot gave his decision and said to one, ok you keep on constructing the wall and adressed to the other, ok you keep on demolishing the wall. This was the desision made by this idiot, now our govt is also idiot. They first listened about the name of PUKHTOONKHAWA, politicians sitting in the assembly approved the name of pukhtoonkhawa, people in majority were not willing to have this name of the province but the idiot assembly members give damn on the voice of the public. The idiot president & prime minister approved the name and declared it pukhtoonkhawa. Now the riots have started in the province, lost of many lives & destruction of properties is the reward of this name. Now once again the idiots will discuss this issue in the assembly and may be with draw their decision, so it has been proved that they all are idiots. Unfortunately our country is full of idiots and these idiots are trying to make the whole nation idiots, but they are very much mistaken. This brave nation will put all these idiots in the mental hospital for the treatment & later on in prison for the rest of their lives.

All the politicians doing the politics on Hazara issue, PML-Q leader ship is a big lier because they were supporting ANP on changing the name of NWFP but in the end when they saw PML-N agree to change the name of NWFP now PML-Q start strong politics, PML-N was against the changing the name of NWFP but Nawaz Shareef want to ammend in constitution in 18th ammendment because of he wants to be the Prime Minister of Pakistan third time even his party was against the changing the name. now Hazara public demands the new province named as Hazara PML-Q is saying that they wants Hazara as a province they are just doing the politics because they knows that Nawaz Shareef will never accept this option with deep heart because in this condition they will loose half of Punjab because of they are demanding Saraiki province, i request all the politicians to please dont destroy our country in your personal politics, YASIR FROM HYDERABAD

MQM chief Altaf Hussain said that he will support Hazara as a new province because of his own politics because if the new provinces will be announce they have chance to make Karachi as a new province and in this condition they are clearly the owner of Karachi, because so far they are working under a provincial government after Karachi as a province they will never allow anyone to enter in Karachi.

i think Paktoons are the majority in NWFP that is 75-78% and we all wanted a name for our province that can represent the majority of this land.The problem is not with current governoment and its decisions ,the problem is with other political parties particularly PML-Q who are well know traitors and want to use the sitiuation to their advantage …political point scoring at the cost of people lives and national integrity.I dont know what made that mentally retarted Chowdry shujat go to hazara to lead a protest by school kids which lead to these casualties.Infact this is what he wanted …to stir up the issue to project himself .We all know that this traitor/handicaped politician (Chowdry shujat) was involved in issues of Lal masjid and Nawab akbar bugti case with worst possible results.
