PPP govt's first 100 days a total failure, says Sajid Mir
2008-07-21
Chief of Jamiat Ahle Hadith (JAH) Professor Sajid Mir has said that the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) led government's 100 days in office was a total failure. "The PPP government could do nothing in its first 100 days to the dismay of people, who had pinned high hopes on it after the Feb 18 elections," Mir told a news conference here on Sunday.

He said it's unfortunate that since the government's formation three months ago, law and order had deteriorated, prices of goods and joblessness had increased and the deposed judges had not been restored.

Sajid Mir said that people had rejected the PML-Q because its government had risked the country's sovereignty during the last five years but the current government was doing the same by ignoring frequent US interference in tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.

He said the November 3 emergency, dismissal of judges for refusing to take oath under the provisional constitutional order (PCO), military action in Balochistan and the killing of Baloch nationalist Akbar Bugti and the Lal Masjid operation were some of the many misdeeds of the previous government.

The JAH chief praised the Awami National Party-led government in the NWFP for starting negotiations with the Taliban to restore peace in the province. He, however, said that some secret forces seemed to be at work to fail the peace process. "In my view, the US is to blame for this situation," he said. He suggested that the government tell the US that the FATA issue could be resolved through peace and not use of force.

Damn my eyes, but I think it is a little more complicated than that.
