Irfan Ghauri, Senior Reporter The Express Tribune Islamabad, says this is a temporary suspension and these parliamentarians should be back to work as soon as the 20th amendment is passed.
He says that the supreme court objected to these elections because at the time of the polls, the Election Commission wasn't fully formed and was just operating under the commissioner, instead of the four members who are supposed to share power.
Ghauri says the national assembly is currently in session to vote on the 20th amendment and so is the Senate. Once passed the President is likely to sign it, making it into law.

I doubt that 20th amendment will be passed so easily without the cooperation of PML-N in the parliament.
