Now just wait in watch Pml- n will destroy Pakistan once in for all. First demilitarize pakistani army with its army and isi then it will denuclearize .
Now pml- n will destroy Pakistan army, give up nuclear weapons and indian flag will rise high at Islamabad. @Mirza:
Would like to see Asad Umar in the Parliament. Hope PTI will bring him in from NA-48 through bi-election.
Cant wait to see NA working, to compare the intellectual elite engaging in discourse and discussion over national matters, but mostly how PTI will keep the others including the federal govt on its toes.......this to me indeed a naya pakistan
I extend my heartiest congratulation to all those who got the chance to run the affairs of the National Assembly.
I am sure that PML(N) members who got the majority of the seats would be able to do the necessary law making required to uplift the condition of a common man in Pakistan.
Great to see the democratic process moving forward. Let us see what Sharifs can do for Pakistan now they have the full mandate. It is also good to see the PTI supporters finally are settling down with their number 3 position in the NA and respecting the verdict of the masses. It is time to move on and make the democratic journey as pleasant and progressive as possible. Elections are over and the politicking and mudslinging must stop for five years.
So PMLN has got reserved seats in all four provinces, its now the Party of Federation
@Antebellum Why do you say that? Shirin Mazari's name is there. She is there to give a tough time to any treasury bench member
So no Dr Shireen Mazari or Fauzia Kasuri?
