I didn't know Kashmir shared a border with Bangladesh?

What does Bangladesh has at stake in Kashmir anyway?

PTI - Imran Khan, if he does not take the issue of Kashmir lightly.

And what do you mean he shouldn't take Kashmir issue lightly? What do you guys want? Hum dono mulk appas me lar mare? Aur pure South Asia ka betaaj Badshah ho Bangladesh? lool

With the last opinion poll I saw, it's seem to me to be very difficult to PTI to get victory. I think Nawaz will get a simple majority with strong support in north Punjab. PTI will probably make a good score in popular vote, but not win enough constituancies to get a majority. But, maybe i'm wrong ?

 

[Edevelop]

Its down to PML-N and PTI.

We willl fight to clean sweep... there is no other option left to save Pakistan from the selection of one joker after another !!

If Nawaz (God forbid) becomes premier again, this mukmuka between Nawaz and Zardari will continue, and you will see Zardari will be reelected again as President by the support of PMLN, just like he remained in power with help of pmln.

in Zardari's own words, "Mian sahib meri hakumat ki insurance policy hain"

therefore, its desperate situation for Pakistan right now...

and as far as survey poll is concern, its definitely biased as pmln probably bought the results of the survey:

^^ Is it first survey of Pakistan, being discussed here?

Any way, Pakistan's election system is inherently corrupt and is designed to bring destruction only.

Sensible Pakistanis shall sense it and reject it.

We need to hold elections on local level, federation shall be given on rotation of 4 years, to all retired army chiefs.

A retired army chief, shall be a best option of both.
