LAHORE: Only a national government, comprising ‘talented’ people, can steer the country out of current crisis because Nawaz Sharif, Asif Zardari and Imran Khan lack vision, capacity and planning to lead the country, says MNA Ayesha Gulalai.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, she promised to contest next election against her former party chief Imran Khan. She also took the occasion to claim that some politicians were berating army only to hide their corruption.

She said people were committing suicide due to poverty. It is also because the government (of the PML-N) was not allowed to work owing to sit-in politics. She demanded that the country needed new legislation on dharna politics.

None of the party has any interest in the working of the parliament, from where the solution to people’s problem should stem. It is largely because neither the PPP, nor the PML-N nor the PTI have any planning to solve problems. That is precisely why the current government should resign, paving way for the civilian national government – consisting of talented people from across political and social divide.

She praised ‘deft’ handling of recent sit-in at the capital by the army and said it was the best possible solution to a crisis, which was threatening to spin out of hands. She promised to announce her future course of action in three months.
