A silver lining had started shimmering when the govt. negotiating team was reported to have agreed to accept 5 out of the 6 points of TIP agenda. The most important issue – Rigging in the Elections – was resolved by appointing a three member judicial commission to look into the rigging allegations of 2013 elections.

It is highly deplorable that the honourable judges of the Supreme Court had to traverse a considerable distance on foot to reach the court due to the sit ins (dharna) of PTI and PAT.

In a TV Talk Show someone also mentioned about the presidential form

He said that it was done to protect the interest of the exporters who would have suffe
