Fawad Chaudhry Calls for National Government Amid Political Dialogue Push, Alleges Role in No-Confidence “Conspiracy”

Islamabad: Leaders of the National Dialogue Committee have called for the formation of a national government and constitutional reforms, arguing that political stability, free elections, and a broad-based national dialogue are essential to pull Pakistan out of its ongoing crises.

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry said the core objective of the National Dialogue Committee is to promote political stability, tolerance, and improvement in the country’s political system. He noted that deep political polarization has emerged and stressed that political forces must resolve their issues internally.

Fawad Chaudhry also advocated for a national government formed through credible electoral processes, referring to elections conducted via “Form 45.” He expressed concern over the country’s economic situation, stating that farmers are facing severe hardship and wheat production has declined by 20 percent this year, which may force Pakistan to import wheat at higher prices.

He further remarked that while military leadership is being appreciated internationally, internal political stability remains essential for national progress. He also alleged that some leaders of the Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz-e-Ain Pakistan were involved in what he described as a “conspiracy” against former Prime Minister Imran Khan during the no-confidence motion.

Separately, Muhammad Ali Durrani said that Pakistan’s political situation is entering a new phase, claiming that even those who brought the current rulers into power appear dissatisfied. He emphasized the need to restore electoral processes from “Form 47” back to “Form 45.”

He added that the current system reflects imbalance between rulers and the public, and claimed that the National Dialogue Committee aims to address the lack of serious opposition and contribute to political reconciliation in the country.
