@Nam691 < You say : "Najam sethi is a traitor and indian agent..." - lol, he among very few intellectuals that bleed to save PAK. Its shame, when Socrates of today have to drink poison; has humanity not progressed since Greek oligarchy ?

Today, all PAK politicians and upper military brass are corrupt with bank accounts and properties outside PAK. They all have mafia connections, with few exceptions eg. Ms. Kashmala. So brothers/sisters take your rosy coloured glasses off and smell coffee.

When you look at the amount of money India spends on its army then there's no way we dont have corruption in our army. Pakistan may have more corrupt officials but we do the corruption on a bigger scale

@burraak1 lol everyone who speaks the truth is an American agent for you guys, thats why you're country keeps topping the list of failed nations along with nigeria, Bangladesh and Congo. Open your eyes and learn to control your army like us. Our army is much bigger and powerful than yours but we've NEVER invaded pakistan.... ever, even when you didn't have nukes and we did. We never showed our power off. We could have turned your entire nation into dust with a few nukes if we wanted.

WHAT ABOUT INDIAN AND PAKISTANI POLITICIANS?????? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@gtgindia its 1.8 time now

He is chutiya

Corruption is rampant in both countries. I think in Pakistan India phobia is only taught so that the army can have more charge. As an Indian I always get upset and angry over Pakistani terrorists attacking and killing our people. But then Pakistan has lost more lifes by the same terrorists and by NATO allies. As long as Pakistan army is in control of their people there can never be peace with India. I want to see middle class Pakistanis enter the politics , all I see in Pakistan are the "rich"

[lallabairagi]

@gtgindia Dude what He probably wnated to state is that In india the defence personel get their right dues and that only whereas in pakistan the army gets perks that are well bryond what they should be getting.

@mastbanda100 yes Pakistan Army controls 11% of Pakistan's land but another fact that is not known to many people is that Pakistan Railways has the largest number of plots followed by WAPDA and Army comes at number 3.
