The disclosure that dozens of people are sitting in the parliament on the basis of fake educational degrees is both shocking and depressing. To the world it indicates two things about Pakistan;

1. It is a country of illiterates.

2. It is a country of dishonest people.

The second indicator is more dangerous than the first. If proven dishonest people infest the parliament with audacity, the visualisation of the future of such a country is not difficult. There is a need to wage a war against dishonesty and financial corruption, otherwise Pakistan will keep sinking further into the quagmire of troubles as time goes by, no matter which party wins elections, or who is the ruler.
