Dirty Politics

The Punjab Assembly has barely been able to transact any business since the re-alignment of the treasury and opposition benches in the house. The two have descended to sloganeering against each other and have been rejecting appeals by the speaker to maintain order in the house. Moreover, opposition lawmakers in the province and political activists from the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League – Quaid (PML-Q) have been using lotas to signify ‘defection’ by members of the Unification Bloc and have been sloganeering against the breakaway faction of the PML-Q.–Photos by APP

are you guys criticising lotas or those who are protesting against lota plitics? its a shame that majority members of a political party switched sides for their personal gains. We need to ask ourselves a question: 'do we deserve a western style democracy with our so called leaders so greedy, corrupt and criminals?'
