PESHAWAR
Chairman, Amun Taraqqi Party (ATP) Muhammad Faiq Shah has urged the coalition government to avoid indulging in non-issues and make joint initiatives to address public problems on priority grounds.
While talking to a group of reporters here on Thursday, Shah said the incumbent rulers have failed to come up with expectations of the masses.
He said the current political maneuvering and instability was aimed at diverting attention from real public issues.
The ATP chairman said the rulers who have overwhelmed the country’s political system cannot befool the nation anymore by empty slogans.
He said people have become aware about these deceivable tactics.
Faiq warned the day is not far away when the politicians and rulers will be held accountable for their misdeeds and they couldn’t find any place to hide their faces.
He maintained politicians belonging from various political parties have always focused on protection and defending of their ‘ill-gotten’ money, gaining clean chit in corruption cases and waiting for their own ‘turn’, but they had never thought and worked for public welfare and interests when they came into power.
Shah went on to say that his party’s ongoing political and awareness campaign has gained impetus throughout the country, claiming that a large number of people from Khyber to Karachi and Gilgit Baltistan to Kashmir have become part of this vigorous movement.
Talking about the current political scenario, the party leader said it is reported that steps are likely to be initiated to apply the ‘minus-one’ formula after the incident of May 9.
He said the minus-one formula was unworkable under the prevailing circumstances rather it would bring further chaos and anarchy in the country.
He called to desist from any such move to bring further political instability and anarchy in the country.
He re-emphasized that the country cannot be moved ahead until initiation of talks.
Commenting on rising miseries confronted by inflation-stricken people, Shah demanded of the government to announce special relief and incentives to underprivileged and poor segments of the society in the forthcoming financial budget.
