PESHAWAR
Chairman, Amun Taraqqi Party (ATP) Muhammad Faiq Shah while showing concern over current political state of affairs, suggested a grand national dialogue for all political parties to ease the situation.
Shah emphasized all political parties and stakeholders should be united under a single platform and design a joint agenda to end present political uncertainty.
He stressed the need for a political solution to the issues rather than relying on coercion and arrests.
The country, its economy, integrity and security has been put on stake for the sake of personal interest and political survival, he added.
Faiq, talking to different delegations here at the party’s central secretariat here on Friday said the enemy is taking full advantage of instability in Pakistan.
He condemned the hurtful campaign against security institutions.
He also denounced loss of human life, the damage inflicted on government and military buildings by miscreants during the riots and protests that had sparked after the arrest of the deposed Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The ATP chairman emphasised that protest is a fundamental right of all Pakistanis, but it should always be carried out within the bounds of the law.
Shah made it clear that the country couldn’t afford anymore riots, vandalism and ransacking of public properties and important security installations.
Those who were involved in such troublemaking incidents are never loyal and benevolent to the country, he added.
He expressed his hope that the situation would improve, and called on all citizens to remain peaceful.
He once again suggested formation of a joint board of wisdom, in which representation should be given to all political parties, stakeholders, like military, businessmen, lawyers, traders etc.
He continued to say that the board would frame concrete policies so that the country will be driven out from prevailing political and economic instability.
Importantly, he added there will be no change in policies and programs with transition of power in the country through formation of the joint board.
