  4. Not a surprise for us in Pakistan as law is only for the poor and weak persons. Elite and mights are very much above the law. In civilized societies such people are forced to resign immediately and action is taken at the moment. If such practices go on unnoticed, who will and how will someone stop the other members of Assembly to do such deeds???

  5. It is not unexpected. From President to Minister of this corrupt decoit party are ruling this country with pride. As per the criminal record of this convicted person, M.A Akhter is concern it is very much open to the people from day one when he got the seat of Provincial Finance Minister. Theft of monument from Ganish Bridge, attacking on TV Cameramen who was projecting his crime, Attacking on the Calamity Hit people of Gojal through Smugglers and socalled China Traders of his electoral jurisdiction on August 06, 2011 and diverting this attack into relegious roit , attacking on his party Advisor, Musa at CM House, are some of his magnificient record during his three year ministership. Shame of such state of terror.
