Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) chairman Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao said on Sunday that the federal government could not even start delivering on its pledges as it was about to complete its 100 days in power. "The government has been unable to set its priorities to provide relief to the people," he noted with concern, QWP chief said while speaking at the meeting of the Central Executive Committee at his party's provincial secretariat WatanKor here.
Aftab Sherpao said the federal government had failed to improve relations with the neighbouring countries as its foreign policy was flawed. "The country has become isolated and needs to change its foreign policy," he said, adding Pakistan had lagged behind economically as the rulers lacked the ability and vision to steer the country out of the prevailing crises.
He also warned against making any bid to introduce the presidential form of government. He said the parliamentary form of government should be strengthened by removing its flaws. Aftab Sherpao urged the government to share the details of the Saudi economic assistance with the Parliament. "The conditions attached to the Saudi aid and the details of the Chins visit should be made public," he demanded.
He suggested the formation of Supreme Courts in the provinces and the establishment of a Constitution Court at the centre. Reiterating his party's demand for introducing a new social contract, he said it would help ensure the rights of the smaller provinces.
The QWP leader said units of the federation should be strengthened and warned against undoing the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. Underlying the need for building new reservoirs, he said dams can not be built through donations. He said the looming water crisis would take its toll on the country's fledgling economy if corrective steps were not taken. However, he said that controversial issues should not be touched as it could lead to anarchy. Expressing concern over the fresh wave of terrorism, he said anti-state elements were bent upon damaging the country's interests.
