KARACHI: Aafia Movement Pakistan leader and noted neurophysician of the country Dr Fowzia Siddiqui has said that safety and security of citizens should be the top most priority of the government.

As per details, welcoming the suggestion floated by Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Sirajul Haq regarding resolving the ongoing political crisis in the country, she said every patriotic Pakistani is worried about the current national situation.

She said the political situation is also negatively affecting economy and social fabric of society. She said all citizens want that these issues should be resolved. Dr Fowzia Siddiqui said we welcome the three-point agenda of uphold of constitution, non-interference of establishment and electoral reforms.

Dr Fowzia said we would like to suggest to add one more point: security and safety of citizens should be the top-most priority of the government. She said it is unfortunate that just after one decade of the establishment of Pakistan, the governments were formed that were without mandate of citizens.

This resulted our poor credibility at global level and caused our weak foreign policy. Dr Fowzia Siddiqui suggested that the consultation process should not be kept limited to parliamentary parties, as our parliamentary politics is dominated by personalities and political families. Our parliament has always remained a symbol of status quo and has worked to safeguard the interests of the elite class.

Dr Fowzia suggested to include experts and intellectuals also to the consultation process so as to find a solution that eliminates corrupt and vested interests politics in our country. She also reminded that freedom of the innocent daughter of the nation, Dr Aafia Siddiqui from American prison and her repartition back home is also our collective responsibility.
