LAHORE: Advisor to Prime Minister on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Qamar Zaman Kaira said that adopting consultative approach is vital to strengthen democracy in country.

Addressing a press conference at Governor’s House, he said that when Imran Khan was in power, opposition faced political victimisation. He said, “In view of challenges country is facing, we talked about signing a charter of economy.” He said that decisions made with a proper consultation in light of Islamic guidelines were best solution to all problems.

Regarding Imran Khan’s long march, he said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman was making tall claims about holding a long march. He said if Imran Khan wanted to create chaotic situation in Islamabad, he must rest assured that those days had gone when there was a practice to lay siege to any area. He said, “Now it is a time to make democratic struggle.” He said that government was duty bound to stop unlawful actions as per law to maintain law and order situation. About Toshakhana case, Kaira said in Election Commission every elected representative had to declare assets. “If any member does not declare his asset, then his membership gets suspended and it continues till filing of assets declaring forms,” he said.
