Great move......this democracy in action, if we work with this attitude we can do wonders....Brovo government ....Brove Opposition....in the it's the people representatives who needs to assert themselves to make this country work again
It is great to see all the bills proposed by the opposition were approved by the ruling govt. It proves that with the right attitude democracy can work in Pakistan especially if both the govt and opposition play a responsible and open minded role. Great to see all the parties talking to Baloch leaders.
