KARACHI: Awaam Pakistan Party Convener Shahid Khaqan Abbasi voiced his concerns over country's political landscape, asserting that political stability cannot be achieved in nation where elections are manipulated.

Speaking at an event here, Abbasi stressed importance of adhering to Constitution as only viable path forward. Addressing gathering, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi took jibe at political parties for drafting manifestos that are often ignored post-election. "Every party has same manifesto, but there is no real implementation," he remarked, highlighting growing public disillusionment. "Today, every Pakistani is worried. Wherever you go, people ask what will happen to country and what solution to its problems is." Former premier emphasised that primary role of governments is to serve people by providing essential services such as electricity, water and healthcare. He pointed out that key to resolving nation's issues lies within framework of Constitution. "Countries that break Constitution do not develop.

We need to work diligently to address these problems," he asserted. Abbasi lamented widespread disregard for constitutional obligations, which he believes is fundamental reason for country's stagnation. "Country cannot progress because everyone does not honour their oath. Without reforms and return to constitutional path, nothing will improve," he warned. APP Chief touched upon Pakistan's economic challenges, comparing current economic situation to that of decade ago. "Economy is in same condition as it was 10 years ago. Our leadership remains focused on its interests," he said. In pointed critique, he mentioned absence of any government ministers during athlete Arshad Nadeem's departure for an international event, underscoring lack of official support for national heroes. Solution to Pakistan's problems lies within Constitution and that any attempt to deviate from it would only exacerbate nation's crises.
