In parliamentary democracy coalition govts are very weak, says former PM
\nIslamabad
\nFormer prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said that it has become inevitable to govern the country in an \u201cunprecedented way\u201d to deal with the prevailing economic crisis.
\n\u201cWe have to take those steps that have not been taken ever due to public pressure and other reasons\u2026 in parliamentary democracy, coalition governments are very weak,\u201d he said in an interactive session with interactive Zoom session with digital broadcasters and economic analysts on Tuesday.
\nImran said taking \u201cbig and bold decisions\u201d are need of the hour to stabilise the country\u2019s economy particularly to stop the bleeding of public sector enterprises.
\nSince being ousted from power in April this year, Imran has time and again called upon the PML-N-led government to dissolve assemblies and hold transparent polls to save the country from \u201ceconomic collapse\u201d.
\nA day earlier, the PTI chief encouraged his party leaders and supporters to threaten back those threatening them from unknown numbers.
\nInvoking the mysterious figures of \u2018Mr X\u2019 and \u2018Mr Y\u2019, the PTI chief urged the party activists to smash \u201cthe idol of fear\u201d and combat their threats with similar threats.
\nHe said those trying to intimidate party cadres through calls from secret numbers will now be dealt with similar tactics.
\n\u201cBreak the idol of fear, this call that comes from an anonymous number to threaten. Give it back to them. They give threats, return those threats,\u201d the ousted premier roared.
\nHe also questioned on the Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) decision of rebutting his statement about the army chief\u2019s appointment, saying the DG ISPR should have at least understood what he said and what it meant.
\nIn his speech at a public rally in Punjab\u2019s Chakwal city, Imran said that he wanted the army chief\u2019s appointment on merit, saying he had said that ex-premier Nawaz Sharif and ex-president Asif Ali Zardari could never do selection on merit as they were not even familiar with the concept of merit and can\u2019t see beyond their families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
