So today is pretty much D-Day, Judgement Day, QAYAMAT and every other form of the word PANIC you can think of. The Panama verdict is out at 2 p.m. today and as Pakistanis we can literally cut the tension lingering in the air with a knife. There are rumours circulating around social media that our PM saab Nawaz Sharif might be handing in his resignation.
Journalist Asad Kharal of ARY News posted the rumour earlier…

The Nation also posted this doodle about today’s verdict.
Who knows, if he does resign then this will be the first Ramzaan without a Prime Minister.
A sit in PM will suffice until elections.
We all want this Ramdaan Shareef without Nawaz Shareef.
