RAY OF HOPE: I highly congratulate Mian Israr ul Haq being elected as President and Rja Javaid Iqbal being Secretary of Supreme Court Bar Association. I don't know to which party these personalities have affiliation but I have the ray of hope that the elected representatives shall work for Rule of law and none else. The history remembers those who work for others and dignity of profession.

@Only PTI: What were you expecting? You should be given the government in a silver platter? Welcome to the real world. Things work a little different here compared to the cyber world.
Nice!
It was a good trailer for upcoming election....everyone can see how ppp and pmln and all others will join hands against PTI. But....Allah swt is the best planner and the whole country is committed to kick them out.
Well done Asma & Israr
