Zardari is one evil genius , another splendid project to mint money.

With such money, even the Pharaohs would be feeling ashamed

Actually the plan is to extend the grave yard to accommodate hundred thousands of more graves. As 432 millions have been kept for the construction, many of the poor in country would not be taken care because of absence of finance and ultimately die being hungry, naked and homeless. However, the same sufferers will get benefit of extended area of graveyard. This is one great way to reward followers of Bhutto as they if cannot live, then lie in peace near their beloved leaders. One way or the other, it is for the welfare of the people, specially poor of the country.

Can we go to court?

Are we just going to chat here and then carry on with everyday life?
