Khaqan Calls for Dialogue Criticizes System
Talking to the media in Multan Shahid Khaqan said that the talks between the government and opposition should not be held at the closed door but at the floor of the Parliament.
He alleged that neither the government nor the opposition had noble intentions for dialogue.
Replying to a question, he said imprisonment has been part of the prime minister’s office. “PTI is demanding removing its founder from jail. A prison provides good training,” he said.
He said everyone’s political narrative has come to an end. “Which party has been out of the government today,” he questioned.
The former prime minister last Thursday said that the existing political system could not bring stability to the country, “In our system, leaders want to rule like kings”.
“This country could not be governed without democracy,” Shahid Khaqan said. He said Pakistan made progress during democratic rule.
“Money came to Pakistan in Ziaul Haq and Ayoub Khan’s rule but the country didn’t progress,” he said.
“Why the government has failed to privatize the DISCOs having Rs 800 billion annual losses,” he asked.
“PIA’s privatization is a government hobby, they yet to decide what they want to sell in the airlines,” Abbasi said. “Our bureaucracy has utterly failed,” he said.
He said, that in the last 15 years, we have started to sell the Senate’s seats.
The country won’t move forward until and unless the government will talk to the opposition, former PM said.
“The economic development has been impossible in the presence of political anarchy and instability,” he added.
