PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi while addressing a press conference said that Pakistan’s problems cannot be solved by the politics of hatred as the political system does not have the capacity to solve the problems.

He said that today’s politics is the name of abusing and blaming each other, this kind of politics cannot solve the problems of the people. He said today’s politics has become a politics of revenge and enmity.

The former prime minister said that the problems will not be solved if they do not recognize the constitution. The solution to all the problems of the country is within the constitution.

He said that there was a detailed discussion on the problems of Balochistan in the seminar. He said reason for the problems of Balochistan is the unrepresented people sent to the assemblies.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said Balochistan should be given gas and electricity share. He further said that the error which happened for 20 years cannot be fixed in eight month.

On the other hand, former finance minister Miftah Ismail said that the political stability is needed to solve the problems and there is need to strengthen people.

He said that the problem of privatization needs to be solved, there is no room for cutting people’s stomachs anymore. He said Pakistan has to pay 21 billion dollars this year, the money is being spent on debt installments instead of education and health.

Miftah Ismail said that government institutions are losing billions, privatization is not happening, Pakistan’s debt has increased to 51 thousand billion, the only way is to sell Pakistani products as much as possible abroad.

The former finance minister said that the debt has been increasing in Pakistan for the last 20 years while  inflation and unemployment are also increasing in the country.

Miftah Ismail added that the government is now talking to the IMF, which is welcome.

Besides, Nawabzada Lashkari Raisani said there is need to create an atmosphere of discussion regarding Balochistan.
