27 Oct, 2017

Chairman, All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), General Pervez Musharraf (retd) while addressing to the newly elected office-bearers of his party in Dubai said there were no chances of either martial law or immediate general elections but a national government could be formed. "Pakistani politics at the moment revolving around ethnic, racial and lingual basis that is damaging for national interests while we want to establish APML on national level across the country representing every Pakistan."
In Karachi there is a greater political vacuum that we will fill with a political alliance, General Musharraf said. Karachi is the best place for such an alliance as the biggest metropolitan house Pakistanis from every nook & and corner of the country. "We will form a political alliance in Karachi that will be above from all kinds of lingual, ethnic and racial discriminations."
General Musharraf who was heading a meeting of the newly elected office bearers of APML after its Intra-Party elections expressed satisfaction over the election process and congratulated the elected members. He directed workers to honour chain-of-command in the party. He directed party workers to strengthen party structure in all regions and districts and organize public meetings to convey party message to the public.
Commenting about the political landscape of the country, General Musharraf said there were three scenarios at the moment. One, to dissolve the incumbent government and announce fresh elections. Second to form a national government and third to impose a martial law that is neither imminent nor possible in this entire situation.
The second scenario however is feasible. General Musharraf said if national government is formed out the present lot of political parties, it will give no benefit to the country. He suggested that the national government should be formed with the participation of technocrats in it.
