Criticize Quote by Ehsan Sehgal
““You may criticize the particular subjects and figures; it is not a problem; however, if you attack, entirely, any institution of the state, you will have to face the removal from this page. Just keep in your mind, do not exhibit yourself as a clown of social media to abuse Pakistan and its institutions.””
