[sergente rehan]

Our 3 Armed Forces are doing very well in the relief work and helping our nation instead of our civil goverment which is not doing enough to help the flood victims.

Finally the claims made by diffrent politicians in past few days are being demonstrated to be baseless. These traitors to save their face often come up with meanless statements trying to divert the attention but Shabaz base is in full control of PAF and there are no americans.

to the corrupt goverment and all the politicians

PAF Zindabad!
