It seems the government has just bought off Senators in order to get the 20th amendment cleared from the Upper House of the Parliament. Instead of funding the Thar coal project that could provide cheap and easily accessible energy, the government has chosen to fatten the pockets of some of its Senators, who incidentally are neither active in the national politics nor are they directly elected.
If that is the way to go about amending the topmost law of the country, the one it is entirely authorised to amend, imagine how lenient the government would be with the country’s less important rules and regulations.
