Congratulation Sardar Akhtar Jan Mengal. Good to know that you are part of assembly and late result indicates the poor performance of Election commission of Pakistan. Chief Election commission, Justice (R) Fakhar uddin and his team, has disappointed the nation to large extend. I hope you will do good work for the masses. Regards Shahid
