Marvi Memon’s resignation

LAHORE: I salute Marvi Memon not only for resigning from PML-Q but also from the membership of the National Assembly. The resignation is for the right cause and has come at a time when almost all parliamentarians have no direction and are travelling in a rudderless ship under selfish and professionally weak captains. The resignation is a good omen for the politics in Pakistan as it will help people realise that they should not follow the politics of dynastical rule. I am happy that Marvi Memon has taken the lead and shown the right path to our parliamentarians and politicians to be brave and speak the truth rather than follow the path of sycophancy.

I hope and pray that our politicians, for a change, do something for the country. We need more people like Marvi Memon, who can guide this country out of trouble.

One ought to congratulate her for her bold step.
