Draft policy has been prepared to redefine and strengthen role of Pakistan Muslim League in socio-economic uplift mainly welfare of the poor, and ensure justice amongst individuals, society and federating units, make Pakistan as economic force in the region and Ummah through better and sustained planning.
Incharge, PML's Policy and Strategic Planning Secretariat, Khanzada Emran H. Khan told APP here on Sunday that PML's constitution and rules had been completely reviewed and brought in line with regional and global current and future challenges.
For fulfilling its due role, PML should also take into account the demands of OIC, Saarc and Safta, he said.
He said now the party would provide line of action to Provincial and Central Government to make them perform according people's aspirations.
He informed that he was given the task of revising party polices and the line of action by the top party leadership after series of meetings and discussions in this regard.
"First I convinced PML's Secretary General, Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed that a Muslim Leaguer and Muslim League should be redefined, and we should be more vocal to win popular support of masses. Chaudhry Saheb finally extended his full support," he said.
He said he had also revised the PML manifesto of 33 pages and reduced to only nine comprehensive points. This would be easy for a layman to understand and follow, he added.
According to best of his knowledge, he said, this draft policy was approved by top leadership, however he was waiting for green from them to go ahead.
After receipt of authority in writing, he would visit other provinces for discussions leading to opening of similar secretariats there. He noted that PML should become more open to people and tell them the ground realities on social and economic matters at different levels.
"PML has failed to get due response from people as we are somewhat shy to speak on many issues," the senior PML leader said adding that the party should also give future slogans on industries, agriculture and other sectors/issues to take people into confidence.
He said, however PML government had succeeded in delivering to the people against the previous governments led by different political parties who allegedly gave bogus slogans of " roti, kapra, makan" and " karz utaro-mulk sanwaro."
Now PML's target would be carry the fruit of development and economic strength down to common man, he said.
Khanzada Emran H. Khan called for constitutional cover to the Government's social and economic polices for at least next 20 years to ensure sustainability of the process.
He said PML needed to bring quality people on front for their increased contribution towards the party and country.
