ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif reacting to the Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi\u2019s recent statement raised questions in a social media post.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMohsin Naqvi expressed his views on the dire state of the system. I more or less personally agree with these views,\u201d he said, calling the interior minister a \u201cpowerhouse\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a political worker, I too strongly felt the process of the system\u2019s evolution had been \u201cheld captive to factional and personal interests for decades, and it needs to be freed,\u201d defence minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf the system has to be strengthened and a fundamental change has to be brought about, its forum is Parliament, of which Naqvi sahib is a member. Or this matter could be discussed in the cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis way, these institutions and the system would strengthen, and the change would be brought about through a constitutional process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defence minister went on to point out Naqvi was also a member of the cabinet, claiming that he rarely attended parliamentary and cabinet sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my opinion, [treating] these institutions as irrelevant and making such a big statement after inviting the country\u2019s eminent and respected businessmen doesn\u2019t carry the same weight that speaking at the relevant constitutional forums would have earned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khawaja Asif said Mr. Naqvi had been on \u201cvery powerful posts\u201d of the system for the past three-and-half years. \u201cHad he wanted, he could have spoken about a change in the system or made progress on it during this time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defence minister said the DG ISPR had referred to the 13 points of the National Action Plan (NAP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe implementation of one of its points, which is the armed forces\u2019 responsibility, is being done by sacrificing lives. The implementation of the remaining 12 points is the interior ministry\u2019s responsibility, but they have not been implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMohsin Naqvi sahib, begin the change in the system with the implementation of NAP; begin the change in the system with your ministry. Not just the respected business community, the entire nation is with you,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at a gathering of the business community, Naqvi had said the governance system in the country had \u201ccollapsed\u201d and argued that the country needed new administrative units, or provinces, to improve service delivery, accountability and access to justice. He had also said new leadership was needed in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
