ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has once again offered dialogue to Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) leaders, asking them to sit together with the electoral reforms committee to have their useful input accepted by the government.
“Let’s work on electoral reforms jointly and cancel the long march,” Fawad said while addressing a press conference today (Sunday) along with Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz.
He pointed out that the long march was unlawful under Charter of Democracy signed between Nawaz Sharif and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. “The ups and downs are part of politics and one should not cross the red lines after a defeat,” he added.
The federal minister also lashed out at PML-N MNA Javed Latif for his statement which they termed anti-Pakistan. “Javed Latif is merely a puppet of his political masters. Those who wanted to follow MQM founder must look into their fate,” he added.
He further said that both Nawaz Sharif and Altaf Hussain were the gifts of 80s politics and they had no political principles when it was the matter of getting vested political interests for them.
“It is a great unfortunate that the national politics was made hostage at the hands of politically immature leaders,” he added. Fawad also praised the NAB’s move of rejecting the bail application of Maryam Nawaz, saying that Maryam’s willingness to leave for London would not be fulfilled.
Taking over the presser, Senator Shibli Faraz said the country’s economy is getting stabled and all the business activities are underway despite COVID-19. “All the economic indicators are on the positive trajectory,” he added.
