ISLAMBAD, APR 1 (DNA): Former Pakistan ambassador to the United
Nations, Britain and the United States Dr Maleeha Lodhi has said that
Pakistan is not a failed state but a state of failed governance.
Dr Maleeha Lodhi said that prolonged and intense nature of the
confrontation between Pakistan’s government and former Prime Minister
Imran Khan is unprecedented. She said that political issues must be
resolved solely by political means.
She said the only way forward is for “all sides to step aside and call
for a ceasefire through interlocutors to agree on a consensus for
simultaneous provincial and national elections.”
Maleeha Lodhi said that on the one hand, political parties invite army
for intervention on political issues and on the other they criticize
army for meddling in the political affairs. She said that politicians
must find solution to political crisis themselves. DNA
