Lashing out at government, Awam Pakistan Party (APP) chief Shahid Khaqan Abbasi criticised unelected persons for taking important decisions about the country.
Speaking at the inauguration of a party office in Rawalpindi, the former prime minister said the incumbent government has completely failed, adding the country cannot progress by violating the Constitution.
"Our parliament makes legislation in the darkness of night," Abbasi remarked, adding the country has no leader at the moment that could raise his voice for the public.
Those who are ruling the country are not the true representatives of people of Pakistan, they are the product of Form-47, asserted the APP chief. He highlighted that Pakistan could not run without democracy and democracy could not survive without the supremacy of the Constitution.
The youth demand their rights and a corruption-free country, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi pointed out, lamenting that frustration among young people is growing while the government continues to fail.
He mentioned that all three big parties were ruling the country. PPP has been governing in Sindh for 17 years, PTI in K-P for 12 years and PMLN in centre.
A government with stolen mandate cannot run economy nor can it steer the country on the path of progress. "We have left the corridors of power, and are standing here," said Abbasi, adding, "We have to raise voice for the welfare of people and the supremacy of the Constitution."
The former prime minister said the problems of the country cannot be resolved until there is an end to political victimization. The roads should not be blocked by containers as people of the country do not pose any threat to the country. "We have halted the accountability system. We have to work together to improve the country's circumstances," he said.
