Although the previous salary structure was below par, the new one that is approved is over the roof. Anyway, the performance is the key for growth and promotion. The way the Pakistani parliament has functioned, they deserve termination and not appreciation. These people are not dependent on salaries anyway and pay high sums in crores to get into the Parliament anyway to oppress the weak in their respective constituencies on the order of the master. The steps of the Punjab government are hilarious, and even the US ambassador condemned it. The sole reason behind it is to please the supporters of PMLN, as they have a reputation of gaining support by aiding their partners and supporters. The policy of eating together has worked perfectly for them through the years, as they know that to come back in power, they do not need votes but the support of this bunch of incompetent feudals and the support of the master.
