Senator Faisal Vawda has said that Pakistan’s problems cannot be resolved unless a large number of politicians from the past several decades are made examples of, including those who have died.

 

Speaking on a private news channel’s program, Vawda said, “Until a minimum of 500 politicians, including those who have already died are made examples of, the country cannot move forward.” He added that the number could go up to 5,000, referring to top politicians who had governed Pakistan over the last 30 to 40 years.

 

Vawda said even deceased politicians should be included. “They should be taken out of their graves and made examples of. They should be hanged or shot in public,” he stated. He said that punishments should be carried out openly.

 

Recalling similar remarks he made after winning the 2018 general election, Vawda said, “I never forget what I say. In 2018, I said in the assembly that 5,000 people are responsible for the state of the country. Today, I say at least 500 of the top politicians should be executed.”

 

Referring to Islamabad’s D-Chowk, a site frequently used for political protests, Vawda said, “D-Chowk is very famous because of protests, and this is where punishments should be carried out publicly.”

 

During the discussion, Vawda also spoke about the 28th constitutional amendment, saying, “The 28th amendment will come, and the country will move into a better position. NFC and several other matters will also be addressed. Consensus, democratic consensus, will be achieved.”

 

Separately,Vawda met President Asif Ali Zardari, where he said the political situation, parliamentary affairs, and other matters of mutual interest were discussed.
