Why not voting rights for the Pakistani expatriates when the Supreme Court has already given favourable verdict on this issue?

If expatriates can vote in India why not in Pakistan..? Indian EC proposes e-voting, proxy vote for NRI electorate to SC.

EC proposes e-voting, proxy vote for NRI electorate to SC

New Delhi: The Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) may be allowed to vote through proxies or the electronic voting machines.

The Election Commission has submitted its recommendation to the Supreme Court on a petition filed by an NRI Dr Shamsheer Vayalil.

One of the proposals to allow NRIs to vote is to send ballots through email, which can then be sent back by the NRI voters to the Election Commission.

The move could add over one crore voters to the eligible electorate.

Talking to CNN-IBN, the petitioner Dr Vayalil said “There was already an ordinance which had allowed NRIs to vote, but they had to register and had to come back to their polling stations to vote – and if you look at the bulk of the NRIs, they cannot afford to travel, or they only come once in many years.”

“We put some practical options to the SC, and the SC directed the EC to submit a report. Even the govt is favourable to the stand that NRIs should vote,” the NRI added.

Responding to EC’s proposal of e-voting and proxy vote the petitioner said that “These are the two fastest methods that could be implemented considering the fact that long term solutions would take time, the EC has taken a very practical, pragmatic approach to the whole situation and has come out with something that can be implemented in a very fast course of time.”

BBC correspondent says Bilawal admits the gathering was half of what was expected but it was good.

Failure of the PPP to gather the crowd, even equal to PTI’s JALSA (which was arranged in just 48 hours), that too after a months effort, is a referendum of the Pakistani nation, against the corrupt and status quo leaders…

Come on PTI and all its millions and millions of supporters, you are rocking today, all of you are on a roll.

Stay blessed…!

Failure of PPP to gather the crowd even equal to PTI’s JALSA that too after a months effort is referendum of Pak against corrupt leaders.

And now the PPP leaders are openly crying in the JALSA and pleading to TV media, not to show live copter-cam extremely disappointing crowd gathering pictures and withdraw their TV drones..?

And what can we say about the decision of the PPP to deploy women guards at the stage for the protection of Bilawal Zardari???

Among all the anti PTI parties, Jaamat Islami must hang its head in shame and bite the dust of defeat, for supporting the Daaghi Javed Hashmi.

Even, if the votes of the PPP candidate are added to the votes tally of Javed Hashmi, the winning independent candidate supported by the PTI, polled more votes.

This proves that an overwhelming majority of the Pakistanis, very clearly support the CHANGE agenda of Imran Khan; and now its just a matter of time that the government, crumbles like a pack of cards, before the public pressure.

Give Credit, and Do It Fairly

People want their contributions to be acknowledged. But fairly assigning credit is difficult in collaborative environments where several people come up with new ideas together. If you want to eliminate resentment over recognition, you need to give credit the right way. Tie individual recognition to the overall success of the group. This reduces tension over who did what and reinforces teamwork. Recognize results instead of activities. Align your reward systems with the outcomes you want, not metrics like length of service or attendance that may not have a direct bearing on those outcomes. And embrace risk-taking by recognizing team efforts even if something fails. This will encourage people to learn and improve.
