Most of PP's (in this case PP's = Pakistani Politicians) suck and will do anything for their personal benefits because politics is their main business through which the only objective they have is money....

They're all hypocritical $%^$%^$%%

Taking out Zia ul Haq Marhoum's name of the constitution?? What bakwaas, the same Zia ul Haq Marhoum who most if not all the main politicians in Pakistan owe their political career to!

In doing this they are inadvertently doing a service to Pakistan.

In this one rare incidence in Pakistan politics, the interests of politicians and the people are aligned.

It wont happen too often so we should relish this moment.

I dont think people understand the true implication and consequence of the 18th amendment because since it is just an alteration to the constitution, there is not immediate tangible result. But what this will do is to ensure that we dont have dummy governments and that the parliament continues its natural evolution from strength to strength with each successive government. A series of 5 year term governments without interruption from the Army or any other political maneuvering will do us a lot of good.

We need patience. I read an article on DAWN that this amendment does little good for the poor, for the energy crisis and for the law and order situation. No it doesnt directly no because it is not a piece of legislation that directly tackles those things. However, this amendment makes wholesale changes to the fundamental backbone on which our society should be based so that it allows for the tackling of the above mentioned issues through a legitimate and sustainable means.

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said that the federal government has begun the implementation of the 18th Amendment, leading to the dissolution of various ministries

Murad Ali Shah has stated that neither the federal government nor the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has discussed the National Finance Commission (NFC) Award or the 18th Amendment with him.

Speaking to the media, Shah said that while there are concerns over other matters, however discussions with the federal government are underway.

He emphasised that the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) will act in the nation's best interests and clarified that no land has been allocated to any housing schemes by the provincial government.

Shah also addressed the cancellation of agreements with five independent power producers (IPPs), saying that he had learned today that these contracts, which were signed in 1994 for around 25 to 30 years, are being terminated.

He suggested that this move might lead to a reduction in electricity costs, though he added that the surplus power available may not be sufficient to fully utilise.

The chief minister further noted that the Sindh government had proposed providing electricity at lower rates to industrial units to boost production and employment.
