No wonder, Profit has lost multiple ad deals, worth tens of millions of rupees, due to stories that held big businesses to account.

  1. SBP should show the gold to public. It is my claim that SBP doesn’t have any gold in custody. It is pledged sever.decades.ago to USA. And USA will never give it back even if SBP claims release.

  2. Thanks for the good information, I like it very much. Nothing is really impossible for you. your article is very good.
