PESHAWAR
Muhammad Faiq Shah, founder and chairman of the Amun Taraqqi Party warned uproar of rigging in polls would create hurdles in formation of a long-lasting government, and could further damage the economy and state.
The ATP chief asked politicians to sense the gravity of the situation and prevent the country from leading toward imposition of emergency.
He stressed that all should jointly frame the charter of development and give a way forward for the country, assuring his party will support at every level.
Answering online various queries on the topic of ‘General Elections’ 2024 on Sunday, the ATP chief said alleged rigging was a question mark for the election commission and administration, and alarming for those who raised the slogan of democracy.
Shah called for broad-based reforms in the election commission, NAB, administration and law and justice institutions.
He said his party was demanding to make the election process easier for ordinary people.
Economic stability and strengthening of the state is the major issue, which everyone is ignoring, the party leader said.
He said ATP has brought a viable roadmap of economic revival, political stability and prosperity in the country, urging it to ensure its implementation.
Faiq asserted all institutions and stakeholders should give their input in the process of the government formation in order to pave the way for collective leadership, public authority and justice.
He furthermore emphasized public issues should be prioritized in formation of the government in all four federating units.
Retaining democratic values is a biggest test for the politicians, if they fail forever then they will obliviate or forget their own survival, Shah remarked.
The ATP chief said holding protests is the right of any political party but there is need to give priority to reforms as well.
He said the president should immediately invite the formation of the government to remove the uncertain situation.
Furthermore, he said the election tribunal and judiciary should sort immediate solutions in their decisions and called for setting up a complete impartial election commission.
