Now my sincere question is what does it mean when a member is suspended?? I have attached a few links below started from the current one and then the ones that were issued in previous years. If you see some names are repeated every other year.

e.g. Tariq Fazal Chaudhary, Naveed Qamar, Rahman Malik, Pervez Rasheed etc have been suspended multiple times and there are others too but they still continues to be a MNA/MPA every consecutive year? Are there no repercussions when someone is suspended? Why is it such a minor thing?

These crooks are law breakers not law makers.:angry_smile:

So If a lawmaker doesn't follow the law; specially in a place that is the main legislative body, shouldn't he be thrown out indefinitely. Atleast, the repeat offenders.
