PESHAWAR
\nAmun Taraqqi Party (ATP) chairman Muhammad Faiq Shah observed that the political, economic and social crisis has deepened and become serious and that it has been necessitated that all institutions and public segments should work together to overcome the situation.
\nShah said gas and power tariffs increase, and rampant price-hike as a result of flawed policies, especially harsh IMF conditions on which agreed by our previous and present rulers and governments.
\nThe ATP chief opined if the resources and opportunities had increased so that such a situation couldn\u2019t have prevailed in the country.
\nHe said government duty is to arrange alternate solutions and arrangements to overcome the current crisis situation.
\nFaiq was chairing a meeting of the party\u2019s central executive committee held here at the ATP head office on Wednesday.
\nThe party leader stressed that the government should immediately adopt modesty, austerity and doctrines\/principles of reduction in expenses and provide facilities to people at their doorstep.
\nIn order to rely on own resources, Shah said agriculture and industries should be promoted to get rid 220million people from heavy prices.
\nHe witnessed consumption of gas and electricity has been made difficult for consumers.
\nFaiq maintained prices of basic utilities have increased substantially, which will add to mis\u00e8res of the inflation-stricken people this winter.
\nThe ATP chief warned they will hold strict accountability and assessment through which people\u2019 hands will be on the collars of rulers\u2019, if social and economic justice won\u2019t be ensured.
\nShah warned the government over burdening the poor with heavy taxes, depriving low-income and salaried-class people by collecting multiple taxes.
\nHe called it a complete injustice and illegitimate, which strict assessment will be carried out.
\nThe party leader said the tax-collecting government\u2019s prime responsibility is to provide basic facilities like health, education and ensure provision of employment opportunities.
\nHe noted people face great hardships owing to rising price-hike, power and gas tariffs.
\nFaiq asserted it is the duty of the government to sort out an alternate and simple solution to all issues, but negligence is always committed from this responsibility.
\nThis injustice took people far away from the government, he added.
\nThe ATP chief said present and past rulers are not for people but they have gained all authority for personal extravagances and power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
