    While this pile of “lotas” can be a good emblem for the National Assembly, an image of a kangaroo will make an appropriate logo for our new Supreme Court.

    I like it, not just for the obvious ironies and reference to the current deplorable situation. The curving spouts and bulb-shaped bodies of the lotay actually give the structure a tongue-in-cheek moghul (Golden Age?) look. Not exactly a work of art for the ages, but a nice, fun piece that works on a couple of levels. Well done.

    Imran khan demands restoration on judiciary as the first step
    I hope we get others to do that too, he also announces a fund for the justices to provide them what is owed to them by our nation

    I hope they announce quickly where we can send the money.

    This picture should be posted in legislative assemblies , prime minister, president and Chief Martial Law Administrator* house.

    * CMLA because in last 60 years army chief has spent more years as CMLA than doing his own duty as army chief.
