In a meeting on Friday, the National Party (NP) central committee called for political dialogue, constitutional supremacy, and parliamentary sovereignty to establish a consensus-driven national strategy for bolstering the federation and democratic institutions. NP President Dr Abdul Malik Baloch, who presided over the session, warned political leaders against policies that would exacerbate mistrust.
He underscored the need to restore democracy, respect federal principles, and involve all national stakeholders to address the country's political and economic predicaments.
Baloch highlighted that the turmoil in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) was particularly perilous. The government's authority had eroded in numerous regions, while political activities were being curtailed, and parliamentary, democratic, media, and state institutions were grappling with obstacles. The NP leader asserted that the nation's predicaments could not be rectified through further fragmentation or the application of force, but through the restoration of democracy, adherence to federal principles, and political discourse.
Published in Dawn on September 28th, 2026, the NP's stance emphasizes a non-violent, democratic approach to resolving the nation's complex challenges.
