All such members who were enjoy perks at Federal and Provincial level and have now realised that PPP or PMLN is not good enough for them should be disqualified until they give up all the profits, salaries, rent of the government housing, stipends of committees and reimburse the state the costs of luxurious foreign trips. They will get leverage with the other party and get elected again with the new rising sun disgracing public mandate.
