Yes... Our country is the soft target of terrorists. It is possible just because of our corrupt politicians and weak law and order situation in country. We should have a very stern and unsympathetic rule against the terrorism. A rule which can crush the terrorism by punishing terrorists and criminals very hard. At any cost, the terrorists and crimi... more...

Whether we like it or not, it is still true, and unlike math two true's don't make ...  more...

On the contrary it can be defined with all its technicalities for all other pur...  more...
