    Most of above comments shows typical male mentality. Her role is FM not Miss Pakistan. She her as FM. Her beauty nothing to do with her role. And give respect for her role!

    Saman Friday, 27 July 2012 08:12 AM

    Yeah... with "open" arms!

    Shan Friday, 27 July 2012 07:50 AM

    She is still in her mid 30s. But very efficient. Our politicians should be first be educated and efficient and effective.

    This kind of mentality is presently running in sri lanka and causing many fall victims.

    Andrezja Thursday, 26 July 2012 11:05 PM

    justin Friday, 27 July 2012 06:28 AM
