PESHAWAR
Muhammad Faiq Shah, founder and chairman of the Amun Taraqqi Party suggested setting up consultative and decision-making boards, with representation of public, social and trade segments and relevant institutions to eliminate ‘Tug of War’ for gaining power, authority.
Talking to different delegations including social, political activists and political workers here on Saturday, Shah urged national institutions to play their proactive role in this regard.
He recalled his party had already given a comprehensive plan and it is ready to propose policy by sitting with institutions.
Commenting on the prevailing political scenario, Shah termed Feb 8 polls as tantamount to ‘hoodwinked’ of people.
There was no chance for voters, and poor people who took active part in the election, he added.
He noted the ‘Hue and cry’, echoes of ‘selection’ is being overwhelmed in the country.
So, why would the national wealth be wasted on elections?
The ATP chief stressed protection, authority and justice of vote and voters is essential, stating that without it, stability won’t come in the country.
He made it clear that this undemocratic experiment cannot become successful, saying that elites are intolerable for people.
A one month is being left but there is prevailed a complete vague situation and no one is sure about holding of the election, Shah observed.
He stated power has been snatched while turbulence was increasing in every province and irrelevance with people, adding that the state is heading toward a fragile situation.
The only solution to eject from the current crisis situation is to form policy boards, consisting of all institutions, public segments, think tanks and media, Shah asserted, adding that all policies should be with these boards.
He continued these proposed boards would hold strict accountability and frame concrete policies, which will bear fruitful results.
Faiq emphasised parliament’s need to fulfill its constitutional duty of legislation.
He said his party is ready to sit with institutions and give workable policies to them and in this regard, a practical sketch was already released.
The party leader asked candidates to carry out door to door campaign and convey the message of the party to create a democratic awareness and they will gain right of decision making.
He called for ensuring social and economic justice to people and their equal participation in the electoral and democratic process.
