Moroosi siyasat. Dynasty politics. Father and 2 sons all Mnas. Yes thats what we need in Pakistan. All of the national assembly being one big happy family. Dr. Qadri, I think you failed at your reforms and revolution. Article 62 63 etc doesn’t say anything about dynasty politics. We Will continue to have this corrupt democracy.

the reason they joined PPP is very simple , they knew they’re not gonna be awarded ticket either by PML N or PTI in next election that’s why they threw their toes In the worst ever party PPP.

It was due to happen,as Raja afzal was defeated in by poll elections.His ego lead him to destruction of his political career.
But they should know that once again thier defeat is obvious in the upcoming elections,as they had done nothing for the masses of both the constituencies NA-62 and NA-63.

It seems Sharif and Zardari family will be again in Govt for next five years.
I am not sure we deserve them. But both families are richest family of Pakistan, Therefore they deserve to stay in power on the basis of there influence. As Pak is class driven society.

It is a shame that they joined PPP. If they would have joined PTI they would have been praised by many and they would have been cleansed like Qureshi and Hashmi.
