Although Asma’s point has some merit, I will take her views with a pinch of salt. She never speaks out against politicians’ corruption. Everyone knows that she is pro-PPP. She never talks about Zardari’s corruption. never speaks out against atrocities in India-held Kashmir. some even say she’s backed by RAW. All her ire is usually directed against the military.

Indeed there needs to be accountability across the board.

However elected lawmakers should rightly be expected to uphold highest standards and be held accountable first because public repose their trust in them by giving them their vote. All the rest (not saying they should be let off the hook) including the military and the judiciary are nominated individuals and not directly elected by the people
