Nawaz says absence of democracy is cause for government failure
Nawaz Sharif castigated Prime Minister Imran Khan’s administration for failing to govern the country while implementing a truly democratic system. Nawaz Sharif claimed that the root cause of the problems plaguing this country was because the nation had been deprived of a truly democratic system and the Constitution also states that the opinion of the general public be respected highlighting the spirit of democracy. “This is the principle of democracy in the world when the democracy is hit, the whole democratic system becomes meaningless,” he had said.
