Reply Naseer KK says: April 13, 2014 at 08:05 Wonderful pictures of old glorious days when the sane people ruled over here with their sincerity, devotion, zeal and zest. if they are compared with the rulers of today then anybody can guess the present rulers’ commitment and sincerity. We find today’s rulers grabbers of wealth, snatchers of health, corrupting the system and giving way to inefficient, lethargic, loyalists, etc. Reply Hashmat Ullah Khan Khattak says: April 9, 2014 at 09:39 It is very good that some one showed the past golden moments of Peshawar.
