Kamal blames nation’s miseries on corrupt political parties
Pak Sarzameen Party Chairman Syed Mustafa Kamal said on Thursday that if the tall claims of all those political parties which were in parliament were even 10 per cent true, our situation would not be as devastated as it was now. For the last seven decades, political parties had been winning elections with public votes, but because of incompetence, corruption, prejudice and nepotism among the parties, the nation was living a miserable life, he said. Imran Khan proved that he is misfit for any important and sensitive position in the country,” Kamal said while addressing the participants of a general workers’ meeting in Korangi District. Kamal said that Imran Khan utterred hollow words in four years. Corruption, 10 million jobs, five million houses, cheap housing scheme, unemployment scheme, return of two hundred billion dollars etc.

Instability and the economy
