Former federal minister Faisal Vawda on Tuesday said personal interests and big egos had become the problem, stressing that the current situation in the country was the result of what had been sown.
Speaking in Express News programme ‘Kal Tak’ and an interview with a private news channel, Vawda said that what happened in the elections, was the same that took place in the 2018 elections as well as in the 2013 and 2008 elections before that.
He added that it would be like this even in the future elections. However, he emphasised that for the first time, he was taking “one positive thing” from this election: the next election and the system will be for the betterment of Pakistan.
In response to a question, Vawda said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) which was seen today was a caretaker PTI. “Where is the real PTI,” he asked, stressing that the PTI “will be out of the system if it does not become part of the reconciliation”.
To another question, the former minister said that whatever the PPP said, it would happen. “The PPP will take all the constitutional offices and the onus of everything will fall on the PML-N.” He warned that the biggest problem ahead was the payment of $24 billion in June.
On the speech of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif after the elections, he said that Nawaz should have shown his leadership ability. He should have offered the independent candidates an opportunity to form the government because they were the largest group. In fact, the independents were in no position to form the government.
