Although the assembly is completing its turn but there are many question arises about the working of ruling party and opposition.5 year period was not easy for ruling party. Prime Ministers were changed three times.

1- Mr. Mir Zafrullah Khan Jamali
2- Mr. Ch. Shujaat Hussain
3- Mr. Shaukat Aziz

By the constitutional requirement, President of Pakistan address the house once in a year. But for this assembly, President addressed only once after 14 month of assembly and after that he never addressed and said that this is nonsense house — “Surprise, the same assembly voted him for President of Pakistan twice, I think the reason is good to say that assembly is nonsense :)

Assembly passed different bill in house. but most of the laws made by the president ordinance.

Also there were lot of issue and problems with the currently house. But I believe this is good for Pakistan that nobody of current assembly can say that they could not have time to implement their policies. Like happened in past with Mulim Leaque (Nawz) and Peoples Party.May Allah Blessed Pakistan and show us (people of Pakistan) the right path to select better people for Assembly. Ameen!
