Masses asked not to support failed politicians

The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Friday asked masses should not support failed politicians in the elections otherwise they would continue to reel under problems like runaway inflation, unemployment, lawlessness and energy crisis.

A corrupt or weak government will not be able to overcome challenges or initiate reforms which will accelerate economic contraction adding to  the miseries of the masses, said Dr Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.

A coalition government dependent on smaller parties will not be able to come up to the expectations of IMF to qualify for another loan; it will be unable to lure investors, he noted.

Dr Murtaza Mughal said that we must blame nobody but ourselves for the sad state of education system, collapsing healthcare system, inefficient civil service, pervasive crime and terror, and corruption that has become endemic.

He said that endorsing the failed leadership would result in continued chaos, extended inequality, burgeoning unemployment, poverty and the social evils that have become feature of our society.

Dr Murtaza Mughal said that handing over victory to politicians that ruled the country for five years would be unfortunate as the incompetent band would never be ale to revive economy or stand up to domestic and international challenges.

The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Thursday said masses would be responsible for country's failures in future if they again elected leaders without vision and basic competence.

A weak government will not be able to overcome challenges or initiate reforms which will accelerate economic contraction paving way for default, it said.

We must blame nobody but ourselves for sad state of education system, collapsing healthcare system, an overfed yet inefficient civil service, pervasive crime and terror, and corruption that has become endemic, said Dr Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.

That is because we had elected a government believed and behaved like it was unaccountable, he said while talking to Baig Raj, President Punjab Forum.

Dr Murtaza Mughal said that if masses continue endorse the failed leadership, the result would be continued chaos, extending inequality, burgeoning unemployment, poverty and the social evils that have become feature of our society.

Warning voters about handing victory to failed politicians, he said that the incompetent cabal that ruled country for five years cannot revive recession-bound economy or stand up to domestic and international challenges.

At the occasion, Mr Baig Raj said that economic revival plans of PML-N and PTI resembles to some extent therefore they should join hands in post-elections scenario for the sake of country.

A PPP-led coalition will fail the country therefore Nawaz Sharif and Imran should cooperate in the national interest, he said.

Following the injury of Imran during a rally, the reaction of PML-N leadership has not only sent very positive signals but it has also renewed hopes among the business community, he noted.

Masses are looking towards PML-N and PTI to forge a strong government to steer out country of current mess, said Baig Raj.
