Sindh assembly has been passing meaningless resolutions that are not even worth the paper it is written on. Have they ever tried to push their own government in Sindh to implement their resolutions? And how does a resolution has any effect if it is in the jurisdiction of the federal government. Don't the MPAs have something better to do with their time (when they are not busy ripping off the common people)?

A wonderful news, these are the steps that seems to be concrete ones towards ending the corruption, and Mr Sharjeel Memon is so very correct that sim's are misused, i personally went through this experience, where it was confirmed that the sim i was using was also issued to 23 more people, i do not wish to take the name of the company,but its a great relief that this resolution has been passed.
