(PTI) government.
"We have already mobilised our workers by holding 10 "million marches" in the country and are planning a decisive one, towards Islamabad, after which the PTI government will not survive," he said while speaking to the media at the residence of a senior party colleague, Hafiz Rab Nawaz Chachar, in Jam Sawaro Chachar village of Kandhkot-Kashmore district.
The Maulana observed that the PTI government had miserably failed to work on its manifesto and fulfil any one of the promises it had made with the masses. He said the country’s economy had nosedived and the poor masses were cursing the ruling clique over unbridled inflation, price hike, unemployment and unfair demolition of their houses and workplaces. He wondered that the Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N), both claiming to be the major political parties of the country, were indifferent to the situation and appeared not ready to oust this inept government. The JUI-F was practically playing the role of opposition, he remarked.
The JUI-F chief also criticised the government’s alleged moves to abrogate the 18th Constitutional Amendment and warned that such an act would tantamount to "treason" as it ensured the country’s integrity. However,

he added, some provisions or clauses of the amendment could be reviewed and changed with a consensus of the parliamentary parties.
"My party alone has been running a mass contact campaign to get people rid of the government," he said, pointing out that the country was today facing an economic crisis due to an all time high volume of foreign loans which were constantly increasing.
