PESHAWAR
Amun Taraqqi Party (ATP) announced it will fully participate in elections in Punjab and KP.
The party invited the application competent, young people, especially those who are well-knowledgeable and aware about the situation on the ground, to submit applications for contesting the election under the banner of the ATP.
The announcement was made by the party’s chairman Muhammad Faiq Shah Shah while chairing the party’s central executive committee on Friday.
ATP central leaders including Awais Khan, Arsalan Shah, Mansoor Chouhan, Ishtiaq Elahi and others were present during the meeting.
Shah while speaking on the occasion stated only capable, honest and devoted leadership can steer the country out from the prevailing crisis.
The ATP chairman called upon people to get rid of the nation from rulers with power of their vote.
He said reforms are imperative before the conduct of the next general elections.
He said people cannot be fooled by empty slogans anymore and they will reject the opportunists and dynastic politics.
Otherwise, he said the whole nation will face the same consequences that were happening for the last several decades in the country.
Shah urged the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) that they should be bounded political parties to implement manifesto and commitments before coming into power.
The party leader hailed the United Arab Emirates (UAEs), which is intending to make an investment worth $1billion in Pakistan.
He emphasized it is essential to remove the growing ‘trust-deficit’ among investors and attract more foreign as well as local investments in Pakistan.
At the same time, he suggested Pakistan’s economy can be stabilized by exploiting indigenous rich natural resources instead of persistently depending on foreign loans and aid.
Furthermore, he said the Made in Pakistan policy should be adopted and a task of commercial attachés’ deputed in foreign missions abroad to make vigorous efforts for bringing foreign investments in Pakistan.
Faiq voiced concern over continuous deadlock on holding elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He also slammed dragging the national security institutions into dirty politics.
The party chief warned that further delay in the announcement of the election date would intensify the political instability, which is unaffordable for the country.
He said rulers and political elites do all things for power-saving but they didn’t take any measures to provide relief to inflation-hit people.
The ATP chairman severely criticized the ruling coalition government for complete deviation from its commitments.
