Hate to say it guys but I was kinda expecting it. Think about it; The charges for tax embezzlement on her head being lifted for no apparent reason other then to let her run? Especially when you know that it would really **** off majority of the Pakistani Public? Offcourse there was other motives involved. She had way too much opposition in Pakistan and I can verily tell ya, she was no saint herself; with a slew of charges that indicate her involvement with Money laundering and tax embezzelment. Even the Swiss maginstrate found her guilty on those charges. However, she like her father was an independent thinker and I liked the fact that she took a stance against the current when it came to a more secular legislature. IP: Logged |
