More often than not, politicians in Pakistan give statements shredding the sanctity of parliament
LAHORE: It is disappointing that politicians in Pakistan who vie for parliament membership, and dominate it through forming a majority of their party in the legislature, do not deem the same parliament deserving of respect as an institution having the most important role in the running of state affairs. More often than not, politicians in Pakistan give statements shredding the sanctity of parliament. And, undoubtedly, PTI chairman Imran Khan would certainly top the list of politicians who have ripped it to shreds quite a few times.
To uphold the role of sanctimonious state institutions, it is important that the leaders mention them in a respectful manner and deem them of primary importance.
