    Present government is always in forefront to rescue people from any nationalities in homeland or in international field. Already received much of applause when nationals from other countries rescued from yemen and negotiated fully on part of even Fr.Tom. While looking it's way of dealing looks like bjp will last long for next.hundred years. Amen.
    Also not forget how safely rescued passengers in Khandar hijack..a place of once Mandara. Lahore stands for place of Lav-Khush and Khandar stands hometown of Mandara.
