The party leader called for institutional harmony, political dialogue for rule of law and stability. Commenting on the woes of inflation-stricken masses, Shah stressed that government machinery and administration should activate for public welfare.

He added people have been highly frustrated from the performance of the incumbent government and ready to rise up against the present oppressive system.
Shah went on to say that political capitalism is being nurtured in Pakistan in which the economic and political elite cooperate for their mutual benefit.
