Says all political parties should work jointly for Pakistan
ISLAMABAD
Pakistan Muslim League-Q President Ch Shujaat Hussain on Tuesday urged all political parties to work for Pakistan instead of fighting with each other.
Talking to the senior journalists at the occasion of a luncheon in honor of Naveed Anwar Ch, a Pakistani-American entrepreneur, Ch Shujaat said if political parties do not understand, neither the country will run nor the parties.
The event was attended by Federal Minister Tariq Bashir Cheema, Mushahid Hussain Syed, Chaudhry Shafay Hussain and other personalities. The PML-Q leader said the elections should be held at the scheduled time. “Can elections be helpful in ending inflation and unemployment, he questioned.
Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain urged all the stakeholders to put their heads together for the country’s progress. “Political and economic stability were crucial for the country,” he said, adding: “If we all work together, only then can we save Pakistan.”
The PML-Q president further said that if the political parties could understand the need to set aside their differences, only then International Monetary Fund (IMF) would lend its support to Pakistan. “If we don’t ensure political stability, no one will send a rupee our way,” he added.
He also called consensus between political parties, reiterating that it was the only way to ensure Pakistan’s survival. “If we cannot comprehend this, then neither can the country nor parties survive,” he added.
Shujaat added that ‘many powers’ want to destroy Pakistan as they want supremacy of India in the region. In response to a question, he asked: “Will snap elections ensure an end to unemployment or inflation?”
Responding to another question, he said former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan should return to parliament. “The people, who elected them, are witnessing their actions,” he said, adding that if the PTI lawmakers keep enjoying the perks despite not being in the parliament, it will be in no one’s interest.
If they only want to take salaries and other benefits, then it is of no use.” The PML-Q President Ch Shujaat said political and economic stability is inevitable in the present situation of the country. To a question, he said neither the army had to come nor anyone else.
However, he warned if this time passed, then it would not come into anyone’s hands. “If we all work for Pakistan, then we will be saved. If we don’t come together, everyone will be destroyed,” Shujaat hinted.
“If we understand and evolve a political consensus, IMF will give financial assistance to Pakistan If we do not handle the situation properly, not a penny will come.” He said that some external powers had the design to damage Pakistan. “Those powers want India’s supremacy in the region,” he added.
