National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq on Wednesday feared that the assembly might not last their term, saying he was seeing a ‘greater plan’ in the offing.
“I am not an astrologer…I hope it [the National Assembly] completes its constitutional term but I don’t foresee it happening,” the speaker said while talking to a private news channel.
He said all the opposition parties except one intended to see the government completing its tenure. “Hopelessness is a crime, but for the first time in my political career now I am disheartened,” Sadiq said, adding, “I feel something is about to happen… things are drastically different from 2002 and 2008.”
Ayaz Sadiq was referring to the continuing political saga in the country following the ‘botched’ Faizabad crackdown as well as the situation arising from the release of the Model Town inquiry report.
Sadiq said whatever was happening was not only damaging one institution but the entire country. “The prevailing situation is not normal, but unnatural. Pakistan is surrounded by enemies,” he maintained.
“Our internal challenges are bigger than those of external,” he said.
“I always ask political parties that the system should be strengthened for overall improvement in the country,” added Sadiq.
While the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has called for early elections, the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) have demanded resignations of Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah for their alleged involvement in the Model Town tragedy, in which 14 PAT workers were killed in June 2014.
