@hasniii .. thanks for replying but may be i could not put my question well.. I did not say Ashfaq Ahmed shb said something against pakistan...Ashfaq shb is one of few persons who has inspired me in life....... I was trying to say he mentioned the same point about Kaddafi as Imran did..

[hasniii]

@qadri18 @qadri18 not sure about Ashfaq Ahmed if he said ne thing against Pakistan, because he was a great patriot which can be seen in this video

search on youtube with the title "Example of Pakistan By Ashfaq Ahmad".

and i think it was qaddafi himself not his son who said that "we dont want to make Libya like Pakistan" do not remember his exact words but he was referring to security situation in Pakistan

[qadri18]

i heard in one video from Ashfaq Ahmed as well that Gaddafi's son has said something bad about pakistan .. can anyone plz tell me what did he say............thanks
