The Constitution of PakiStan

[Ali Ahmad Syed]

Abidance is way way beyond, majority of them don't know the meaning and essence of oath. For them it is a formality, a ceremonial thing and has no implications on what they practice.

[mukt]

The answer is "YES" and "NO", both.

Explanation

NO, They do NOT abide by the oath that they take In public, This oath is merely a formality and something compulsory before they can hold the SEAT(s) you mentioned.

YES, They abide by the oath they take in heart (which is looting the country, making as much as possible $$ in their terms, helping their relatives with all the unfair means i.e getting them jobs with sifarishs etc and breaking all the records of corruption). They take this oath in heart and they completely abide by it.
