PESHAWAR
Amun Taraqqi Party (ATP) chairman Muhammad Faiq Shah expressed displeasure over persistent standoff on elections, saying that using delaying tactics in this crucial matter is tantamount to ‘toyed’ with the constitution and further intensifying political turmoil.
He urged the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to hold elections in a way nobody could point the fingers on the polls.
Shah while speaking at the party’s corner meeting here on Wednesday schooled the government resorting delaying tactics in the hold of elections.
He said the deadlock would further intensify the political chaos and unrest.
He said there seems to be no way out of the current stand-off.
With no political solution in sight, the situation is fast becoming untenable, he added.
Time is rapidly running out but no one pays attention, Faiq observed.
He noted the politicians do all for their political survival and salvage the power.
Furthermore, he said poor masses have been left in the lurch and mercy of cruel society. The ATP chairman accused the coalition government of turning parliament into a rubber stamp.
Shah said the law and constitution of the country were crushed down under feet.
He said rulers and politicians have openly defied the judgments of the superior courts.
Law, justice are confined to only the elite class, he added.
Shah poor people despite facing difficulties in courts and police stations justice unavailable to them.
The party chief observed the poor masses have become highly perturbed over the spiraling price-hike in the country.
He said profiteers and hoarders have started squeezing inflation-stricken people by charging self-imposed rates of essential commodities.
