Masses asked not to support failed politicians

May 10

The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Friday asked masses should not support failed politicians in the elections otherwise they would continue to reel under problems like runaway inflation, unemployment, lawlessness and energy crisis.

A corrupt or weak government will not be able to overcome challenges or initiate reforms which will accelerate economic contraction adding to  the miseries of the masses, said Dr Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.

A coalition government dependent on smaller parties will not be able to come up to the expectations of IMF to qualify for another loan; it will be unable to lure investors, he noted.

Dr Murtaza Mughal said that we must blame nobody but ourselves for the sad state of education system, collapsing healthcare system, inefficient civil service, pervasive crime and terror, and corruption that has become endemic.

He said that endorsing the failed leadership would result in continued chaos, extended inequality, burgeoning unemployment, poverty and the social evils that have become feature of our society.

Dr Murtaza Mughal said that handing over victory to politicians that ruled the country for five years would be unfortunate as the incompetent band would never be ale to revive economy or stand up to domestic and international challenges.
