Also he showed the true intentions of Pakistan from their mouth itself. Great leader. I wish he has a very very long life. I pity only that his party has no majority. Some way it's good for him and for the country, as otherwise RSS/VHP may take control of this party and create unwanted regional conflicts which is not good for our country.
