محترمہ کی دادی اماں کی میت ابھی کسی ایئر لائن کے کارگو میں موجود ہے جبکہ نواز شریف اپنی بیٹی کو سیاسی ہدایات جاری کر رہے ہیں
تدفین تو ہو لینے دیں
عجب قسم کے لوگ ہیں یہ
کبھی کسی حکومتی شخصیت نے اطلاع نہیں دی
کبھی مجھے نواز شریف نے ملتان جلسے میں شرکت کا کہا ہے
کبھی چوہوں کا کھانا https://t.co/pTNiJCUSHI— Dr. Shahbaz GiLL (@SHABAZGIL) November 26, 2020
