First you said we are not living in 40s which means 40s bahut bura time tha
No liberty no freedom no information
And when I said 2019 is relatively better than 1947 then you took a uturn and said it's a lie

oops sorry missed the critical words.

i thought you said otherwise.

still no uturn though.

 

[Sine Nomine]

You are just saying this because of your political differences with PTI

I don't have any differences with them,all political parties are same.

 

[B.K.N]

I don't have any differences with them,all political parties are same.

Second tire leadership(whom you call lotas) of all political parties is same but there's difference in real leadership
I know you won't agree

I like how thhis group pretends to be all about "scientific(al) research" teasering a link to their "Methodology" but when you click on that all you get is just the same handfull topics and a single sentence that says nothing more than "these results are our results and are based on our results" and absolutely no Methodology at all not even a brief. This crap wouldn't even pass a formal check for undergrad homework assignments, but thats good enough for propaganda I guess. Now lets do the usual background check.

Pseudo science. Pseudo journalism. Pseudo independence. Pseudo freedom.
