Islamabad, Altaf Shakoor, leader of the Pasban Democratic Party, has called for a rejection of traditional political parties in Pakistan’s upcoming elections, advocating for a shift towards a political system that prioritizes service over hereditary politics. Shakoor emphasized the need for revolutionary reforms, including the elimination of the influence of capital and power in elections, and the adoption of a proportional representation electoral system.

According to Pasban Democratic Party, Shakoor criticized the current political landscape, highlighting the failure of major political parties to address the nation’s problems and their involvement in self-serving alliances. He pointed out that traditional politics, dominated by a few powerful families, has led the country to the brink of destruction and has not benefitted the common people.

Shakoor argued that the current electoral system, which allows the use of significant capital and power, excludes the common man from fair participation. He proposed a shift towards a proportional representation system, similar to those in developed countries, to ensure broader and more equitable representation in the parliament.

The Pasban Democratic Party leader also condemned the excessive spending on political campaigns and the practice of buying and selling political support. He suggested that these funds should instead be used for the welfare of the people. Shakoor called for legislative changes to enable the common man to compete in elections without the need for substantial financial resources.

Additionally, Shakoor expressed concern over the future of the nation’s children, warning that without a change in the political system, future generations will remain disenfranchised. He accused prominent political figures like Bilawal and Maryam of perpetuating hereditary politics, which he believes the public should reject in favor of a system that genuinely addresses their issues and provides relief.

The Pasban Democratic Party is advocating for a political framework where elections are conducted on a proportional representation basis, allowing people to solve their own problems through direct representation in the assemblies.
