What will worth this new assembly? The presence of Imran Khan. Inshallah.
I am optimistic that the news Assembly will give priority to resolve the issues that are faced by the voters who elected members of the National Assembly from all over the country.
These voters are no one else, but common men of Pakistan, who exercised their rights to change the government.
In few days the new government of PML(N) will take over the affairs of Pakistan.
