- Former minister proposes a "Charter of Democracy".
- "Need to decide how to normalise Pakistan."
- Fawad expresses reservations on interim setup.
The remarks of the IPP leader, who parted ways with PTI following the events of May 9, came while he was speaking to the media outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in Islamabad on Tuesday.
He further expressed discontent with the current political landscape of the country and urged his former party's chief to mend ties with other political bigwigs and the establishment.
"How will we move forward in such bitterness?" he asked, adding that the situation is not "normal" at the moment.
He further said: "Bringing the country's situation back to normal is more important than the elections.
"The differences and bitterness between the PTI chairman and the establishment should be reduced. The bitterness between the PTI chief and Nawaz Sharif also needs to be narrowed.
"How will it be possible to hold an election in Pakistan until these tensions are reduced?
"Even if the elections are held, how will any problem in its results be solved in this atmosphere?" he asked.
The former minister also proposed that a "Charter of Democracy" be signed to return things to normalcy.
"There is no environment for democracy and elections in Pakistan. There is a need to decide how to normalise Pakistan."
So, he suggested that before the election, a democratic charter be made to ease tensions between the dissident parties.
Fawad added that without returning to stability, it was useless to conduct the polls.
Expressing reservations regarding the interim setup, Fawad said that the caretaker government would be formed by following consultation between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's and NA opposition leader Raja Riaz's, who had candidly expressed willingness to contest next elections on PML-N ticket.
He lamented that the country's political leaders are so caught up in their scuffles and fights that they can not even talk about Pakistan's problems.
"In these crippling conditions, whether Pakistan goes to the election or not is irrelevant; the bitterness must end first," he reiterated.
It is pertinent to note here that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari urged all parties to hold mutual negotiations.
The former president said that the political parties had initiated talks to solve the issues regarding elections. He said that when Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) would come on one page for the general election, the opposing party PTI would also be consulted.
