Although we live in democratic set up of nation and after the gap of five years choose our representatives through votes of every levels of our system, hence our representatives only duties and liabilities is to serve the nation and public, yet corruptions, scams and shocking stories of our leaders exposed by media often that is enough to spin the heads of common peoples of the country which are already confuse because of political parties and there leaders.
