Karachi, In a recent statement, Chairman Altaf Shakoor of the Pasban Democratic Party (PDP) highlighted the urgent need for political reconciliation to preserve the country’s fragile democracy. He stressed the importance of addressing the growing conflicts and controversies surrounding the electoral system, which pose significant risks to the democratic process and the nation’s economy. Shakoor advocated for a shift towards a proportional electoral system to reduce the influence of the elite and provide smaller political parties with a fair opportunity to compete.

According to Pasban Democratic Party, the recent controversy over the Rawalpindi Commissioner’s claims has intensified the divisions within the country, undermining the stability of Pakistan’s already weak economy. The current electoral system’s failure to adequately serve democracy has prompted calls for a comprehensive overhaul, including the introduction of a proportional electoral system that limits the ability of the wealthy to influence election outcomes.

Shakoor’s proposal for the formation of a national government aims to address Pakistan’s pressing issues, including the ongoing economic crisis and the need to alleviate the country’s debt burden. By fostering political coordination and cooperation, he believes that it is possible to create a more robust and effective parliamentary system.

The Pasban Democratic Party expresses its readiness to lead the process of political reconciliation, contingent upon the willingness of other stakeholders to participate. This call to action underscores the critical need for unity and collaborative effort among Pakistan’s political parties to safeguard the principles of democracy and work towards the collective good of the nation.
