Had things started getting better by just making a 'Draft', We would have been living in a far better place. "Honesty of Purpose is a term unknown to them."

First of all ' Nation and Parliament' are not synonyms. I don't mind even if it takes 500 years but it must be moving in right course of action; unfortunately the ground reality is quite contrary. The scale of malpractice in recent Senate election is anecdotal evidence of it which reminds us that we are heading towards an insignificant place.

This is proving to be a flop drama. Nothing would come out of the nothing.

No doubt it is still in evolutionary process.
senate elections in Punjab were perfectly good.
There was election and people voted according to their will and that was the reason that mohsin lagari triumphed.
In balochistan also there was election and people voted on their discretions.
and such malpractices occur.
This parliament 's power given Election commission is now much free and independent. This independent proved itself in the case of Wahida shah. Now there would be fair interim set up , thanks to 20th commandment by this parliament. And election commission and its members have been given shelter of parliament



This parliament is not that much toothless either. It was the power derived from this parliament that in the wake of Slala attack , the govt was able to vacate shamsi air base , a gift handed over by a dictator. It was the power of parliament that Nato supplies were interrupted and it was the power of parliament that operation in north waziristan has not been let started.
It is not that much toothless. It is this excuse that parliament would decide which our govt and security apparatus has put forward before the mighty of mightiest and took these initiatives . At least now parliament cant be blamed for inefficiency . During these years it has shown its worth and maturity. And this would history prove as one of the most brighter chapter in our history.

If parliament is really not that much toothless then whats about the drone attacks???

Parliament is really efficient in order to safeguard the interests of his corrupt leader, the most simple logical question an ordinary pakistani can have in his mind about the swiss cases is "whats wrong with the letter writing?" It is this parliament which is fully ready to pass resolution to protect its leaders against the justice.
In my point of view it is the darkest period of our national history when the powers vested by pakistanis into parliament are used to guard the corruption.

whatever good the parliament has done must be appreciated but it is also very much evident that whenever it comes to the choice between the personal and the national interest, the present leaders had proved themselves to be self centered.

Pity the person who appreciates a parliament which is senseless to the the ridicule being made to judiciary!

17 judges who are not elected by people of Pakistan can not be above the representative parliament of Pakistani people.
