That is just BS and exactly what I referred to in my thread 'Is it really wrong'.

Who sets the criteria, who sets the benchmark, who defines what is the ideology of Pakistan? The parliament hasn't done that, the ECP hasn't done that nor has the Supreme Court or any other authority.

Ideology is different for every other person.

I think he is one of the more sensible journalist we have.

This is pure nonsense nothing else.

AS PTI supporter its shocking news... wtf is EC up to ?

 

[third eye]

What is the ideology ? .. and who decides it ?

Does a returning officer have the authority to decide on such issues ?

When you don't build institutions, this is what is bound to happen.

Personally I didn't like this person for his overly pessimistic attitude and lacking will to improve system. In TV shows I have seen him defend corruption of politics by arguing saying "Are Politicians the only corrupt section of society" ? Its just like police nabbing a robber and he claiming.. am I the only robber in the city?.. so why to catch me and not everybody else first?

Agree 100% with your conclusion.

People like him try and present themselves as aflatoon but inside self-centred and of no use to the country and people.

Two more ganda anddas go down the drain.
