یہ کار بنانے والی کمپنیاں عام عوام کو مہنگی کاریں بیچ کر ہر حکومت کے ساتھ اچھے تعلقات بنا لیتی ہیں۔
دنیا میں سب سے مہنگی کاریں پاکستان میں ہیں اور سب سے کم کوالٹی بھی یہاں ہے۔
مریم نواز کو ان سے یہ لوئی وٹان کا لگژری بیگ قبول نہیں کرنا چاہیے تھا نہ ان کو دینا چاہیے تھا۔ https://t.co/bGT1nyw2gJ— Waseem Abbasi (@Wabbasi007) August 18, 2022
