Opportunist. They will go to any party that is expected to win, so they can suck the remaining blood out of the poor. Very unfortunate that we have these people running the government

It seems that the country is heading for another wadera dominated government, so the misery of the common people will unfortunately continue.

How can the whole family be in Parliament. This is feudalism not democracy. Hope these elections will keep people like these out of Parliament. These people will only repeat what they have been doing in past and not change anything. Poor will get poorer and rich will get richer if they come again. Wake up Pakistan.

To the people of Pakistan: Vote all these crooks once again so that they may finally snatch your last morsel out of your mouth, tear your remaining pieces of clothes, and through you out of your huts.

These kind of turn coats should be trashed by people and best way is ,if they are given by the new party.they must not be re elected. New party is at fault too, to accept them.

Hoping that PPP has little chance of success in Punjab, he has decided to join PML N. Its time to get rid of such scruplous lotas

Fakhar has always personally been very honest and upright, so in my opinion he may have quit due rampant corruption groundswell within PPP / PPPP in his tenure
