This was a chance to show that they cared about South Punjab...alas they don't.

I hope PMLN brings a resolution in favor of creating a Seraiki province in both the NA & PA. If you ask me why, you haven't been on a drive from Islamabad to Rajanpur.

Wouldn't hurt if PMLN nominates a woman for a prominent post somewhere would it? They can at least try to cut down on their mysoginist attitudes with such a huge mandate which does contain a large number of women.
