ISLAMABAD: Awam Pakistan Party Convener Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said his party is making efforts to bring opposition parties on one-point agenda, urging unity in their ranks for a big aim.
Speaking at media, the Awam Pakistan Party leader said it was not necessary that opposition did politics on roads; political movement and struggle could also be carried out in the parliament, ‘so I suggest PTI to avoid doing politics of roads’.
“When there is a rule of law, all detained political leaders will ‘automatically’ come out of jails. Opposition always faces hardships and persecutions.
“The incumbent government did not have people’s mandate. If opposition is strong, the government will itself crumble. It is difficult to give a final date for the formation of a political alliance.
“The government is deceiving the masses with a jugglery of words. The country’s economy is shrinking. The man who needs correction most is the PTI founder.
“It is the government which will have to initiate dialogue with opposition parties. Today, national leadership needs national dialogue in the best interest of the country,” the former PM said.
Earlier, Former Prime Minister and Awam Pakistan Party head Shahid Khaqan Abbasi emphasised that the country’s stability and security lie in loyalty to the Constitution.
Addressing a Seerat Conference in Mari Indus, Abbasi asserted that Pakistan’s challenges can only be resolved by ensuring governance in line with constitutional principles.
“If we aspire to move forward as a nation, decisions must be made on the foundation of justice. The solution to our national problems is simple: implement the Constitution,” he stated.
Expressing concern over the country’s deviation from constitutional norms, the former premier remarked, “It is unfortunate that we have drifted away from the Constitution. Allah has given us a framework for life, and progress can only be achieved by adhering to it. Every constitutional office-holder in Pakistan takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, yet today, people are left questioning their future and that of the country.”
Abbasi further noted that Pakistanis are among the most charitable people in the world, yet many hesitate to fulfil their tax obligations. He also remarked that ideological differences hold little significance in religion.
Referring to global reactions to the situation in Gaza, he pointed out that Western nations have raised their voices in solidarity with Palestinians.
