You have right to your opinion, but not right to your facts. So please talking about democracy and parliament don't forget to acknowledge we are already one of the most corrupt country in the world. May our prayers (wouldn't count on parliament and their filled suitcases with bribes) save us before we get like Somalia.
Figures uncovered last month by Pakistan’s Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), an independent research group, shed fresh light on the complexities of corruption. The data was drawn from Pakistan’s Election Commission, an independent body that compiles the financial declarations and tax statements of political candidates. According to the CIR, almost 50 per cent of Pakistani lawmakers pay no tax at all, and more than 1 in 10 have never registered with tax authorities. Those that do pay contribute negligible amounts. 2010 figures from the Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency estimate that legislators in Pakistan have a net worth, on average, of $800,000. And yet, according to the CIR’s report, many pay less than $100 in tax, with some contributions as low as $17.
Bhai Sahib,
No need to get angry or over excited.

Last year, Transparency International, in their annual survey of corruption across the globe, ranked Pakistan 127 of out 177 countries, a slight improvement on 2012 when the country languished at 139. Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index covers “abuse of power, secret dealings and bribery.” On a scale from 0 (“highly corrupt”) to 100 (“very clean”) Pakistan scored 28 – the same as Russia, Mali and Lebanon. Compared to its South Asian neighbors, Pakistan sits beneath both India (ranked 97/177) and Nepal (ranked 116/177), and scored only one point more than Bangladesh. The only country in the region that Pakistan bested was Afghanistan, which, with a score of 8/100 on transparency, is ranked 175/177 (jointly with Somalia and North Korea) as one of the world’s most corrupt states.
I dont care what he say, This is the one of reason why lot of people are there. I am not pti supporter but NS is one of the most corrupt leader of all time in pakistan and uses gullocracry and courts to pnuish who disagree with him.

bahahahaha… agar fair and lovely elections ho gaye to bohot saaray “leaders” ka lungi dance ho jaye ga mere bhai, jo log public mai naaRa badhtay hayn, ya T khujatay hayn specially
and somewhere you said you “supported” the party, right … khul ke support karo jis party ko karna ho yaar, dartay kewn ho
I didn’t say whole vote bank of MQM is because of printing press, MQM has been a reality, it “won” hearts in the past, but as of late its on verge of total collapse. If last elections were truly fair MQM would’ve received a major stick up there
IK has gone nuts, there is no doubt about that. Before elections there were no signs of insanity, and people were with him, they’d have dumped MQM in many areas (not just Clifton/Defense).
Not really last time PPP completed their full term and had support of US and Pak Army but still failed, so nobody is blaming the army for the failure of PPP. Even if governments fail that is good, as they need to fail, to take mistakes and to learn. This is how democracy takes roots. That is how the will of the people prevails, that he how the governments start to look after the public rather than looking after the generals. That is show parties become more responsive to the needs of the population.

Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero, and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful.
Poor country. Rich selfish politicians with inflated sense of entitlement.
Notice Imran Khan’s sons are flying in style in business class too! Do teenagers need all that luxury? Why not just travel in good old economy and donate the difference in fare between economy and business class to one of daddy Khan’s endless charity and “fundraising” drives? Srange!
