We also have the right.\u201d He suggested that PPP, along with parties like JUI, PTI, and ANP, should come together to form a government capable of tackling the nation\u2019s issues.<br \/>\nHe highlighted the anticipated wheat crisis, warning that in 3-4 months, the country will face a shortage, leading to the need for imports.<br \/>\n\u201cThe wheat crisis will start after 3-4 months, then it will have to be imported,\u201d Chan stated, expressing concern about the rising costs of essential commodities.<br \/>\nHe also pointed to the dramatic rise in tractor prices, which have escalated from 6-8 lakhs to 3 million rupees, making it increasingly difficult for farmers.<br \/>\nChan criticized the current government for failing to foster political dialogue, noting that political stability cannot be achieved through authoritarian measures.<br \/>\nHe compared the current situation to the era of dictatorships, including those of General Musharraf, Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, and Zia-ul-Haq, stating that such systems did not work. \u201cPolitical stability comes from dialogue,\u201d he stressed. \u201cImran Khan\u2019s problem was that he did not have political dialogue, and the current government also lacks this.\u201d<br \/>\nThe PPP leader underlined that without political stability, any government, including Imran Khan\u2019s, would fail to address the country\u2019s problems.<br \/>\n\u201cThe people and institutions are fed up with the daily sit-ins and markets,\u201d he said, adding that only through dialogue and consensus can Pakistan move forward.<br \/>\nChan\u2019s call for a united political front comes as the country grapples with economic difficulties, urging that a more inclusive approach to governance could help address the nation\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HAFIZABAD In a recent interview with a private TV channel, Nadeem Afzal Chan, a central leader of the Pakistan People\u2019s Party (PPP), emphasized the need for political stability and dialogue to address the country\u2019s pressing issues.
