Reserved seats for women (II)

Letter May 30, 2013
Our assemblies have become private limited companies of politicians and this situation is not acceptable to taxpayers.

LAHORE: This jugglery of reserved seats in the assemblies should be eliminated through legislation. How could selected women be public representatives? Will somebody please explain this contradiction for public consumption? Our assemblies have become private limited companies of politicians and this situation is not acceptable to taxpayers, who pay for their salaries, while parliamentarians do nothing except sit on their haunches.
