I extended to President Zardari the regards of Her Majesty and we had an opportunity for a brief discussion on various matters. I conveyed to the President the good wishes and prayers of her Majesty for the progress and welfare of Pakistan.

It is not an honour for Tariq sahib to shake hand with son in law of " cursed Mr Bhutto"
He is just doing his duty. Do not be optimistic and expect some thing good from cursed family.

So what to be a Zer(o)dari, or a waiter to the Dajjal's home, in service of Prez or Queen? Have you conquered spiritually any fraction of UK, not to talk of EU? Just blowing your own trumpet, on the basis of money!
