Presidential Elections by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

The stage setting and the decor is rather lavish and extravagant seemingly carried out in a spirit of outdoing one another.

However, I noticed that during the recent visits of the Prime Minister to Quetta and two days later to China some of the air crew of the PM’s special plane stood at attention at the foot of the airstair as per protocol and dutifully saluted him sm Click here to read Full Article
