PML-Q shares five-point agenda with government

In a bid to steer the country out of economic crises, the PML-Q on Wednesday shared its ready to implement five-point agenda with the government along with a warning of Tunis model public rebellion if corrective steps not taken. The government team has initiated the process of holding meetings with political parties for evolving a national strategy after PML-N gave its 10-point agenda with a deadline of 45 days.
Though a meeting between the PPP and PML-N had taken place, Nawaz Sharif has expressed concerns over delay on the part of the government. The PML-Q recipe includes diving of energy strategy, control on law and order situation in Karachi and Balochistan, elimination of corrupt practices, end to terrorism and revision in foreign policy. Addressing the media after a meeting with the government team, Chaudhry Shuja'at Hussain, chief of the party, said that the government could implement their plan within days without spending even a single penny from the national kitty.
"If the capital flight from the country is plugged and all money invested or kept in foreign banks is recovered, the country would have no need to seek loans from the IMF or World Bank," he asserted. PML-Q Secretary General Mushahid Hussain Syed shared with the media that around 40 billion dollars of Pakistan were stashed in foreign banks.
Mushahid Hussain Sayed warned the ruling party of a Tunis-like public rebellion if the matters were not redressed immediately. "If corrective steps are not taken immediately, the Tunis Model could be implemented in Pakistan. The people are sick of these corrupt rulers and any minor incident can trigger Tunis-like rebellion,' he opined.
A comprehensive energy strategy should also be devised to harness all resources to make Pakistan energy self-sufficient by immediately pursuing all existing initiatives - Thar Coal, Iran Pipeline, Electricity from Tajikistan etc, so that burden on the people ends due to constant gas/electricity load shedding, he added. Regarding foreign policy review, Mushahid said Pakistan must re-orient its foreign policy focusing on the region where it is located having peaceful relations with neighbours, by resolving long-standing disputes like Kashmir.
