ISLAMABAD
\nThe opposition parties issued a joint charter on the eve of Pakistan Day (March 23, 2022) on Wednesday, in which they said they believed in an Islamic, federal and parliamentary form of government.
\nIn their charter titled, \u2018Quwwat Akhuwat awam\u2019, they claimed that they were the guarantors of social, political and economic rights of the people of Pakistan. \u201cAnd the dream of securing the rights of Pakistanis would be materialized by getting the no-trust motion against the government passed by the National Assembly. And after that, kind of Pakistan will be created where there is a supremacy of the constitution,\u201d reads the charter.
\nIt has been stressed in the charter that all administrative institutions of the country should be subservient to the parliament, which is an elected body, and which should be the repository of all kinds of policy making. \u201cJudiciary should be independent and the courts could give decisions without any fear or pressure. Similarly, media should also be free and the freedom of expression of the citizens must also be protected,\u201d reads the charter.
\nIt emphasizes that elected representatives should only be answerable to the masses, who should have the right either to return them to legislatures or reject them through the use of their right to vote.
\nThe united opposition further says that due to what it calls poor governance of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government, people belonging to all segments of the society, particularly the middle class and the downtrodden, have been badly affected. \u201cToday, the country\u2019s youth are in despair as they confront record inflation and joblessness,\u201d the opposition parties say.
\nThey add that to make matters further worse, there is no respite in sight for them as their miseries continue to grow by the day. \u201cAnd for that \u2018selected\u2019 government of PTI is responsible, which had snatched from other political parties the mandate people had given to them in the last general elections,\u201d the opposition alleged.
\n\u201cAnd before the country turns completely bankrupt, it is better to send this government home,\u201d reads the charter.
\nThe charter demands that after the passage of the no-confidence motion, free and fair elections should be held in the country so that real representatives of the people could take charge of the country\u2019s affairs.
\n\u201cToday, on this historical day, all the opposition parties promise to the nation that they after sending the present government home will take steps on a war footing to rid the nation of inflation, poverty, unemployment, loans, illiteracy, diseases and other issues. And that steps will be taken to bring the country\u2019s economy at par with the rest of world\u2019s economies,\u201d reads the charter.
\n\u201cNow it is time that all the stakeholders accept the supremacy of the constitution and strive to build Pakistan as per the vision of Father of the Nation Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah,\u201d say the opposition parties.
\nIt is further stated in the charter that in order to ensure free, fair and transparent elections, electoral reforms will be introduced in the country with consensus. \u201cThe opposition parties will protect the Islamic sections of the constitution, the 18th constitutional amendment and basic political and economic rights of the citizens as enshrined in the constitution.
\nThey will also put an end to all kinds of political interference in politics,\u201d reads the charter. The united opposition also expresses its commitment to the provincial autonomy. It further says that concrete steps will be taken for the release of all missing persons.
\nThe opposition parties pledge that they will establish such an institution which will hold the corrupt people accountable without any discrimination. They also express their solidarity with the people of the Indian occupied Kashmir and Palestine. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
