PPP’s Ramesh Kumar says current system won’t survive, warns of tough months ahead

Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader Dr Ramesh Kumar expressed concern about the country's political and economic future, stating he does not believe the current system will last. He predicted that the next few months will be especially difficult, with political instability and economic challenges ahead.

Dr Ramesh said, "In 10 to 15 days, the situation will become clearer, and anything could happen." He added that while things may appear to be under control, in reality, they are not.

Referring to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the PPP leader said that while he has been active, he does not foresee any significant change in Pakistan's fate under his leadership. "Shehbaz Sharif is trying, but I don’t see him being able to change Pakistan's destiny," Ramesh said.

He further commented that the current year would be dominated by judicial matters and legislation, which he believes are crucial to resolving the nation's ongoing disputes.

Ramesh Kumar also highlighted the critical need for internal stability, suggesting that without it, foreign investment is unlikely to come to Pakistan. "Foreign investment won’t come in the absence of internal stability," he said.

Looking ahead, Ramesh warned that the next three to four months could prove critical for the country. He said challenges lie ahead, with or without positive reports from agencies such as Moody's or rollovers of loans.

"The next few months are going to be very difficult, and we will face hardships regardless of whether we get loan rollovers or not," he concluded.

Ramesh also highlighted the possibility of either re-elections or the emergence of a new setup, noting that this decision could impact the future political landscape of the country. “We will have to see whether improvement comes through re-election or through another setup,” he remarked.

Despite the challenges ahead, Remains remains optimistic about the country's long-term future, predicting improvement by 2025. He suggested that the eventual resolution might come from a consensus among all political stakeholders.
