It is time to shun politics of hatred, accusations and backbiting,\u201d he said while speaking at a press conference in Quetta. PML-N leaders Miftah Ismail and Baloch leader Lashkar Raisani were also present.  Abbasi said the economic crisis had reached its extreme, and the problems of the people had been left aside. \u201cThe time has come to give the people of Pakistan their due rights, he said adding the solution to all problems was in the constitution. \u201cIf the constitution is not accepted, the problems will not be solved.\u201d<br \/>\nThe PML-N stalwart further said the country s problems must be discussed at a non-partisan forum. The main reason for the problems of Balochistan are unrepresented people. \u201cWe [PML-N] don t claim to solve all the problems.<br \/>\n Are the people sitting in the parliament solving the problems of Balochistan? They all need to sweep before their own door as no one is free from the accusation.\u201d He said the forum was being held in Quetta to discuss and address all such problems.<br \/>\nSpeaking on the occasion, PML-N leader and former finance minister Miftah Ismail said Pakistan had been facing increase in debt for the last 20 years or so and that ongoing political instability and culture of abuse couldn t give the people of Pakistan of their due rights.<br \/>\nHe said the country s economic situation had been worsened up to the extent that the national debt had touched Rs51,000 billion, adding money was being spent on debt repayment instead of providing basic facilities to the nation. \u201cInflation and unemployment are increasing due to mounting debt.\u201d<br \/>\nIsmail said the country had to pay $21 billion dollars under debts and loans, adding no government could present the solution to come of circular debt [in energy sector].   He welcomed negotiations between the government of Pakistan and the IMF.<br \/>\nBaloch leader Lashkari Raisani said the country s crisis had reached its peak and that an atmosphere must be created to discuss Balochistan.
