It can only happen in Pakistan ! The science and technology ministry instead of spending its resources men and material towards 'science and technology' is doing these audits. If I am not mistaken then the task at hand of improving the 'science' and 'technology' in under developed economy as Pakistan is a huge one and the should not even have time to scratch a finger.
This is preposterous, the elections are rigged throughout the Karachi. Period.
Nobody in their right frame of mind can even imagine PML-N winning even a single provincial assembly seat in Karachi let alone a NA seat! In fact PML-N would not win a single seat in the whole province of Sindh on its own. They have to align themselves with the top feudal or pir to get any seat at all. There is always some irregularity in the elections in Pakistan. However, if the fraud is like salt in flour it can remain hidden but not to the extent of flour in the salt! Instead of going in circles and not doing much let us do something about it.
Let's see who gets be fooled by this stunt from PMLN, the showbaz party.
