Crisis is bigger than that of 1971

LAHORE - “Pakistan is facing even bigger crisis than that of 1971, and its results would be more horrible than the Dhaka debacle. Terrorism in the country would continue as long as the USA continues to interfere in Pakistan’s affairs.

When president house and prime minister house would stop accepting bribe, our Patwari and SHO would also stop taking bribe automatically”.

These views were expressed by the speakers at seminar on the topic of “Present Political Situation of Pakistan and country’s relations with Afghanistan and America, and the course of action for political leadership”. It was jointly organised by daily Nawa-i-Waqt, The Nation and Waqt TV here at Hameed Nizami Hall on Wednesday. Former Foreign Minister, Sardar Asif Ahmad Ali, former Governor Punjab, Ghulam Mustafa Khar, , former Federal minister for Information, Khalid Ahmad Khan Kharal, Secretary General ANP Ehsan Wyne and Chairman Pakistan Forum Glasgow, Hanif Raja addressed the seminar.

Speaking on the occasion, Asif Ahmad Ali said that Pakistan’s economy was steeping down rapidly with ever rising inflation. He said that due to artificial shortage of flour, it seemed as if Pakistan was some African country. Sardar Asif pleaded that common man should be given some relief following reduction in POL prices in international market.
