Islamabad : The Pakistan Muslim League (Qayyum) has declared that the current system has failed and that only a National Government can rescue the country from its crises.
The demand followed a Central Working Committee meeting that reviewed the government’s performance. Faisal Anwar, Central Deputy Secretary Information, said even people inside the system have admitted its failure.
Party President Syed Saqlain Bukhari said only those who believe in the Ideology of Pakistan can end debts, inflation, lawlessness, terrorism and unemployment. He accused the government of mocking the public by claiming “all is well.”
Central Secretary Information Col (R) Asad Mahmood demanded that agreements with Independent Power Producers be scrapped, saying expensive electricity has destroyed households and industries. He also urged state institutions to explore the country’s mineral wealth rather than hand it to foreign companies.
The party demanded petroleum prices be fixed for at least three months, criticized heavy taxation, and called for a uniform education system. Anwar also asked the CDA to act against schools running from houses and to control beggars in Islamabad.
He warned that if these issues are not addressed, people will be forced onto the streets.
