ISLAMABAD, Sept 30: The former federal minister and a candidate from NA-48, Haji Hanif Tayyab, has called upon all the political parties to make it sure that the next assembly would complete its term and for this purpose, they may sign an agreement.

Speaking at a “Face to Face Dialogue” organized by Liberal Forum Pakistan, Mr Tayyab criticised the assemblage of opposition to dislodge an elected government, as a result of which four assemblies had been dismissed.

For him, the politicians are themselves responsible for the suspension of democratic order and, for the stability in future they needed to reach an agreement.

“Pakistan has been made a junkyard of development schemes wherein numerous projects are stopped in the middle, as all the new governments launch their own schemes”.

He said every government made it a point of ego that it would not let the development schemes of the last government completed.

Problems of the people could not be resolved, as the rulers in the past had been involved in receiving kick backs, he alleged.

He said he had sent a proposal to all the politicians for the purpose so that the future government could focus all its attention on the development.

Col Sanaullah Raja (retired) of Pakistan Awami Tehrik (PAT) also criticized the past governments for their failure to address the minor demands of the countrymen, particularly supply of potable water.
