Charge them with a rent of a private property in E6 for 3 months: approx Rs 1 million each.
If not paif immediately confiscate their property + 1 month jail each.

Charge them on daily rate, and treat them same as any other person - these losers have to vacate the apartments, as they have lost their seats. No special favour for losers!

What a shame that these people continue to use dishonestly tax payers/government money for benefits. They must be reported to the courts for eviction and fined for abuse of power.

Charge them from the day they were supposed to vacate. They are used to living of the public money for free, that's why we are in so much debt.

People have spoken. You have done what you were capable of. NOW just pack and leave before any force is used. That's democracy to allow newly elected to move in.

This is anarchic. It is a misuse of public facilities which are provided only to those whose status is 'active' on the public service employees' payroll. Such losers whose status is now obviously 'struck off strength' yet living in the same comfort is in violation of the law and should be dealt with accordingly. Lock the entrances of their suites in Parliament Lodges and fine them on daily-hourly basis to collect back the revenues they owe as tenants. No wonder such offenders drove the nation to the point of collapse economically pursuing their free luxurious lives for decades. Shame on free-riders!

Use Police Force to eject these illegal usurpers. This should give everyone a glimpse of how country was run under Nawaz and Shabaz and Zardari of Nawabshah.

The habits of freeloaders do not go away easily. Charge them full market rent for the period they have overstayed and politely but firmly throw them out.

Where are all the Rangers, who are famous for arresting people in mass ? Are they on a bribe taking mission for not vacating these "freeloaders"? Well mentioning the Sind Police is useless, because they are called boot-lickers in uniform. This PPP and Zardari's stronghold in Sind has to be broken otherwise we will slide below the third world countries.

Throw them out. This just shows these politicians have no respect for the law and have abused the privileges. They must leave immediately, as newly elected members of parliament would need the accommodation.
