POLITICS & POLICY MAKING

Islamabad: Former Speaker of the National Assembly Asad Qaiser has announced that All Parties Conferences (APCs) will be organized in all provinces, with the first APC to be held in Balochistan. The conferences will focus on local issues and law & order, bringing together all stakeholders to develop a unified policy.
Key Points from Asad Qaiser’s Address:
A committee has been formed to raise public awareness and work on various issues.
The Balochistan APC aims to bring all stakeholders together to formulate a policy for the province.
The current Balochistan government is not truly representative of the people.
The federal government has lost public support due to its policies.
Criticism of the Government
Government crackdown on opposition: Qaiser accused the government of using crackdowns instead of fostering national unity.
Failure in foreign relations: He stated that the current government has worsened ties with neighboring countries, whereas PTI had improved Afghanistan relations and trade.
No new military operations: Qaiser strongly opposed any future military operations, urging institutions to work independently to resolve issues.
What’s Next?
The first APC in Balochistan will set the stage for similar meetings across the country.
Political analysts see this as an attempt by PTI to regain political momentum.
