PESHAWAR
Chairman, Amun Taraqqi Party (ATP) Muhammad Faiq Shah has stated that strengthened economy is the guarantor of stable and progressive Pakistan, and national security, progress and prosperity attached with it.
He demanded to frame a joint policy on economy, education and agriculture for the sake of the country and its people so that work would initiate on it on a war-footing basis.
Shah said the sad thing is that despite default risk of nearly 80 per cent, incumbent rulers and political pundits didn’t learn the lesson.
The ATP chairman in a statement here on Saturday noted in the past, so many powerful countries, monarchs had been dismantled owing to a feeble economy.
Examples of the ottoman empire, Soviet Union and other several countries exist, he added.
Shah opined that the national security of every country is attached with its economy and society.
If this is not handled, Pakistan will be in trouble, he warned. The party leader warned of enhancement in exports, declining tendency in remittance and balance of payments bankruptcy, calling it an alarming one. Faiq emphasized that a country’s freedom, security and progress is an obligation of every person.
In this regard, he asked to frame a joint strategy and policy.
Similarly, he stressed the need for concerted and collective efforts for promotion of investment and reforms.
Shah urged President Arif Alvi to play a forefront, lead role and efforts under the prevailing circumstances.
Otherwise, he made it clear that nothing will be gained.
The ATP chief opined it is the constitutional duty of the president to protect constitution and law.
He asked the government and opposition to craft a combined agenda and ensure implementation on it with true letter and spirit.
Shah said ATP appeals from all institutions and political parties to frame a joint policy on economy, education and agriculture for the sake of the country and its people so that work would initiate on it on a war-footing basis.
