Faiz-ur-Rehman Durrani, President of Pakistan Awami Tehreek, has said that the
establishment of national government could steer the country out of its crises and
the ritual of elections would further weaken the institutions and push the country
into a blind alley. He said that the national economy has been propped up by the
foreign loans and a team of competent and honest leadership was the utmost need
to put the country back on rails.
PAT President expressed these views while talking to a five-member delegation
of Executive Council of PAT Punjab which called on him here in Lahore today. Lehrasiab
Gondal, MH Shaheen and others were also present on the occasion.
PAT President Faiz-ur-Rehman Durrani said that recurring practice of hiking gas
and POL prices, the worst energy crisis, near collapse of economy, a situation of
clash among the institutions represented the failure of the government. In order
to cure this disorder, a national government, he said, needed to be put in place
from three to five years. The agenda of the national government should be to revive
the ailing economy, bottle back genie of price hike of basic necessities and conduct
across the board accountability.
He said that the electoral system should be changed if the real democracy were
to be installed in the country. He urged the people to raise their voice for change
in the system.
