PESHAWAR
Amun Taraqqi Party (ATP) chairman Muhammad Faiq Shah has expressed dismay over twice postponement of local bodies elections, calling it an undemocratic and illegitimate act.
Talking to a group of reporters here on Wednesday, Faiq berated it is highly deplorable to delay holding of local government elections.
He described bringing new amended law in haste and snatching of people’s rights as an undemocratic act.
Impression of impartiality on Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will emerge, Shah warned.
The ATP chairman asserted the postponement of local bodies elections in Karachi, Hyderabad and Islamabad again and again, isn’t called a democratic action.
Governments won’t digest the struggle for public partnership in power, Faiq noted.
The party leader appealed to the superior judiciary to halt such practice and actions forthwith so that a foundation of impartial system would be laid down and create trust on elections and electoral system.
Shah said reforms must be made but the postponement of local bodies elections a few days before its holding is highly condemnable.
Faiq noticed legislation sailed through parliament for politicians’ personal interest rather than public welfare that has rapidly lost the image and reputation of parliament, because of which institutions have been discrediting, undermining and defaming, which won’t accept people.
He asked the ruling alliance to trust on people by abrogating the path of dread and fascism so that this will benefit their democracy and the people.
He said ATP stands with people and will contest the public case at every fora.
