This ISSUE is good to be discussed when there r no floods….Recommend
@Sadaf … Are you saying that the entire nation becomes hooligans while there are floods?Recommend
The Election Commission is playing politics and dragging its feet on this matter since it does not want to or knows it cannot act against certain influential politicians. It is truly remarkable and commendable that the Higher Education Commission held its ground and did not bow down to political pressure.
Sarah while I see your point, I respectfully disagree with it. The Election Commission of Pakistan and Higher Education Commission have nothing to do with the floods and can continue their activities as normal. Also discussing this issue at this time has nothing to do with the floods either. Had the politicians been honest about their academic qualifications, the proper checks and balances been in place and accountability been conducted at all times, this mess would not have occurred to begin with it. There should never be a lapse in accountability for any reason otherwise it becomes selective and discretionary.Recommend
