Dr Farooq Sattar, the leader of the MQM, said on Sunday that the country can’t be governed until the current constitutional and political crises are fixed. Sattar, a member of MQM-Pakistan, said, “We have to take some chances.” He was emphasizing the need to act quickly in this situation.
He said that some laws might not be supported by everyone, but the government had to promise answers to important problems like unemployment and rising prices that were having a big impact on people’s lives. Sattar said, “In principle, we have agreed not to oppose any constitutional amendment aimed at ensuring the stability of the country.” This shows that MQM is cautiously in favor of changes to the law that support national stability.
The MQM has been a part of the coalition government led by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which is led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Reports say that the government is working on a change to the law, but the details of the change have been kept secret so that the public can’t look into them. Sattar’s comments show that he is worried about how open the legislative process is and how important it is for everyone to agree on such important topics.
Sattar’s words show how important it is to fix both the constitutional problems and the political problems that are stopping the country from moving forward right away.
