  2. Pakistan is an emerging democracy. We should struggle for rules and regulations to conduct a fair election. With passage of time IMRAN will learn that infrastructuer for free and fair election are inadequate in our country. IMRAN should give tough time to the present government in adopting rules and their implementation in election parlimentary commettei

  3. I would like to say to the CEC Justice Sarder M. Raze, I know you have done a very good job as Justice. But you did not do the job as CE Commissioner, I was also employed by one of the Government Department of the U.S. for 35 years in various after my retied.
    I am of the opinion that Pakistan will not become the same what Mr. M.A. Jinnah had thought, I was very young at the time when my Father was transferred to this country when he was in the Army working for Royal Pakistan Air Force, I remember him very clearly when he came to me and said how are you and who is the second person standing with you. I said to Him my dad, then he spoke to him we are coming from India, and we never went back though my Grand father and family we left in that country. we are only two family are here in Pakistan.
    I was educated in St. Pat High School, and College. by that time Dad was retied and my family is now all are with Allah, now I am in U.S.
    and I want you to change the staff, I am speaking on my experience, but you do have more expertise. Please do some thing for the country. Allah Hafiz.
    Sincerely,
    Shaikh Ahmed
