FEMA, JANIPOP concerned

FEMA and JANIPOP have expre-ssed serious concern at the current political impasse caused by the failure of major political parties and their coalition partners to resolve the differences over the formation of a caretaker government to conduct a free and fair election, says a press release.

This has led the country to a path of violent and destructive confrontation.

The inability of the political leaders to amicably resolve the differences reflects their unwillingness to put national interest above their partisan interests by opting for confrontation and uncertainty that indeed is resulting in the loss of lives and properties of the citizens all over the country.

The political leaders have demonstrated a lack of political acumen and farsightedness in terms of upholding the national interest.

FEMA and JANIPOP have also cautioned the political parties that the prevailing anarchic situation is likely to give rise to the ambitions of extra-constitutional forces to interfere in the hard-earned democratic process thus trampling the constitutional government.

The two organisations have also urged law enforcement agencies to enforce law without fear or favour for maintaining order in public life and preventing destructive activities in the name of politics.

FEMA and JANIPOP have again appealed to warring political leaders to resolve their differences over the formation of the caretaker government.
