Love how everyone’s smiling and shaking hands when they actually hate each other. Just like all of us at parties #NationalAssembly — Sundar Waqar (@sundar_waqar) August 13, 2018

Something about that parliament always gives me goosebumps. It is a place that unites each Pakistani through its diverse group of representatives. Elections are always disputed in his country but nice to see a third peaceful democratic transition of power. Pakistan zindabad 🇵🇰 — Shahbaz Taseer (@ShahbazTaseer) August 13, 2018
