PTI Nawaz Sharif Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called upon the present Prime Minister, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to narrow down this negotiation with PTI into the national interest. According to him, political dialogue between the government and opposition is not for any personal or political interest but for the welfare of this country.
Sharif has ruled Pakistan’s political scene for decades. He was addressing a meeting of his political colleagues. He said that the country’s political situation remains critical, and the government needs to engage in dialogue with PTI in a responsible and progressive manner.
PTI Nawaz Sharif The Importance of National Unity
Political stability is the only way for the development of Pakistan, said Nawaz Sharif. He said that there are so many problems faced by the country, from economic to security issues and all parties need to come out and try to sort them out. He said if they start thinking about national interest, they can get rid of all the present divisions and build a strong, united Pakistan.
Avoiding Personal Interests
He advised his brother, the prime minister today, Shehbaz Sharif, to place personal or party-based motives behind when approaching PTI. He said that talks should not be used as a measure to settle old scores but as an opportunity to craft a framework of cooperation and positive change.
The statement came in at a time when Pakistan faces mounting economic and political pressures. The government is in disagreement with the opposition, and both sides of the parliament cannot agree on any settlement. PTI leader Imran Khan has demanded early elections while criticizing the government for its affairs.
However, the statement does symbolize a call to move forward in greater dialogue and cooperation amongst the political parties. Many experts now feel that Pakistan’s future depends on a mutual understanding of determining this common ground with which the parties can work together to serve the interests of the nation as a whole. However, many still doubt whether more in-depth discussions are possible. Sharif’s call for unifying the parties may just open ways for more fruitful discussions between March and April.
Whether these talks lead to a resolution or further division is something that time will only tell as the country undergoes this turmoil of uncertainty. At least, now there is hope that the politicians of Pakistan would do better to work for national interest and come together to present a united front to tackle the challenges faced by the nation.
