You, being a Pakistani, are not allowed to raise your head against your Govt. Any protest against a minister or CM is interpreted in a very incriminating way– a got-up game! The protester is arrested and may disappear for good. A traditional practice. Nothing new! A terrorists country with feeble democratic set-up and judiciary.
