Pasban Democratic Party president Altaf Shakoor has expressed concern over meetings of opposition parties apparently to topple the PTI government and said the new government should be given more time to show its performance. He said some veteran politicians, many of them with serious corruption charges, have started meetings and activities against the new government.
He said the people have already been fed up with the old political faces and they don't want to see the new faces also go failed. He said the new government has got mandate of people and it should be given opportunity to work and show its worth.
Shakoor advised the PTI government to show some maturity in statesmanship and not to take unpopular decisions like going to take new costly loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He said the new government has opened the floodgates of price hike with an unprecedented depreciation of Pakistani rupee.
He said the rupee depreciation would further increases hunger, poverty and joblessness in Pakistan and play a big role in rapid unpopularity and possible doom of the new government. He said Pakistan is providing free of cost access to foreign countries, especially NATO, to reach Afghanistan. He said if the government charges some fair amount for using its infrastructure by these nations, we would not have to extend the begging bowl before the IMF or Saudi Arabia.
He said while neglecting megacity Karachi we cannot attain a rapid socioeconomic progress. He reiterated the demand of Pasban to amend the Constitution and give constitutional status of megacity to both Karachi and Lahore without further loss of time.
