TOPIC- ELECTIONS OR REVOLUTION

GUESTS- KHAWAJA MOHAMMAD ASIF, RAJA PERVEZ ASHRAF

KHWAJA MOHAMMAD ASIF OF PML (N) said that the style of ninety's politics is not going to be repeated. He said that it will be unfortunate to invite a military general to take over the government. He said that when ever it was military rule in Pakistan it caused deterioration in the country. He said that we did not adopt the policy of confrontation and are called friendly opposition. He said that Mian Nawaz Sharif will never get help from America or military to sneak into the government. He said that Mian Nawaz Sharif will prefer to quit politics rather than taking any undue support from military or America. He denied any role of Saudi Arabia in Pakistan politics. He said that the parliament of Pakistan is not playing its role it is suppose to be. He said that in the last three years things could have been better but they are not. He said that the politicians could not reverse the cycle of Pervez Musharaf time in the government. He said that in a country where Hajji's have been ripped of and no body is punished will definitely shake the confidence of the people on politicians. He said that the budget deficit is going to reach up to 1400 billion rupees in the current fiscal year. He said that it was not impossible to resolve the problems but government has no intention to address the issues. He said that on LPG and RPP cases SC said that why he is in the court instead of parliament. He said that he went to SC because his efforts were exhausted by lack of concern of the parliament on national issues. He said that it is not democracy but individuals who failed to perform. Talking about MQM leader Altaf Hussain's call for revolution he said that it is strange that the party which is the part of every government in the recent past is talking about revolution. He said that Imran Khan supported the referendum of General Pervez Musharaf. He said that Imran Khan has set its relationship with establishment. He said that Imran Khan has learned over the years the ways to get to the government. He said that there is no dynasty in Pakistan political parties like Arab countries. He said that in his opinion elections will be held in the country by September or October this year.

RAJA PERVEZ ASHRAF OF PPPP said that every body is talking about revolution in Pakistan these days. He said that no body talked about revolution under military rule of Pervez Musharaf. He said that ever since there is democratic government in place every body is talking about revolution in Pakistan. He said that politicians are criticized under well planned conspiracy against them. He said that there is 2000 MW increase in the electricity supply in last three years.
