PESHAWAR
The Amun Taraqqi Party (ATP) demanded holding of early elections and reforms without any further delay, while its central committee declared it as the best solution.
The party also called upon political parties and relevant institutions to play their due role in this regard.
These remarks were made by the ATP chairman Muhammad Faiq Shah while briefing media after chairing central committee of the part here on Friday.
On the occasion, the sitting jointly adopted a resolution, condemning current political instability, economic turmoil, and lack of proper attention toward destruction that were brought by torrential rains and flash floods in the country.
The chair during the meeting instructed the party’s leaders and workers to take part in relief and rescue activities and fully assist the flood-affectees at every level in order to restore normal life.
Shah noted the national economy has been destroyed owing to a political circus.
A consistent stagnation is witnessing industries and business growth that would cause their permanent closure under prevailing circumstances, he added.
On the other hand, the ATP chief observed that the country has sunk into rainwater and floods as a result of torrential rains.
Whether ruling alliance or opposition, all of them have become entangled in personal fights, he added.
Faiq lamented it is a huge national tragedy that hundreds of people reportedly died and a large number of people became homeless while many houses and livestock also washed away in flash floods in the country.
However, he said no one is available to compensate the flood-hit people.
Shah expressed dismay over leaving flood-affected people into lurch in their time-testing and difficult situation.
He noticed: ‘One Man Show’ and ‘Tug of War’ is continued in every institution of the country which has made it obligatory to eliminate them by formation of a joint Board of Wisdom and Honesty [BWH], wherein everyone should make decisions jointly and with due consensus.
It is quite difficult for any new government to resolve issues within one year, Faiq remarked.
Therefore, the ATP chief stressed the need of focusing on elections and reforms.
He warned that nothing would survive if they didn’t think about the country.
Shah noted the federal and provincial governments presently failed to present a joint agenda.
He urged the judiciary and military to play a role in dialogue to immediately remove political uncertainty in the country.
Faiq reiterated his party’s firm commitment that it is always ready to provide a strategy or plan to tackle the present crisis.
