In addition, the APC resolution declared its full support for the 18th Amendment and said that no compromise would be made on it.
The resolution also blamed the current government for the “Fall of Kashmir” by opposition parties and expressed concern over the government’s Afghan policy.
The meeting also demanded that “the tradition of making Missing Persons to Pakistani citizens be abolished and that Missing Persons be brought before the judiciary in advance.”
The meeting also criticized the economic policies of the present government and said that the prices of flour, sugar, ghee, gas and petroleum products should be brought down immediately.
In addition, attempts to introduce a presidential system in the country were rejected and it was said that federal parliamentary democracy is the guarantee of the country’s security.
The resolution strongly condemned the country’s worst history of media restrictions, pressure and censorship tactics, and called for the release of arrested journalists as well as the removal of journalists charged with treason.
Demand of Implementation of National Action Plan
The resolution expressed concern over the non-implementation of the National Action Plan across the country and termed the recent sectarian tensions across the country, including Islamabad, as dangerous and strongly condemned the government’s criminal negligence.
The meeting also demanded that clean and transparent elections be held in Gilgit-Baltistan on time and steps be taken to bring it into the national political mainstream and end the interference of agencies in the elections there.
Speaking to reporters after the announcement of the resolution and action plan, PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that now the parties in the APC were launching a movement against the “selected government and its facilitators”.
Asked about another option from within the PTI, he said, “We will keep all democratic traditions in mind in this regard, but we do not want another elected prime minister instead of one elected prime minister.”

Nawaz Sharif’s speech
Earlier, former Prime Minister of Pakistan and PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif had said in his address that his struggle was not against the current Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan but against those who brought him to power.
Well done MNS, well done! 🙌🏽
You amply demonstrated today why Pakistan needs you. We are all very proud of you. The tone has been set. Opposition MUST capitalise on it. Historic speech. Masha’Allah.— Maryam Nawaz Sharif (@MaryamNSharif) September 20, 2020
He said that former Prime Minister Yousuf Gilani had said that “there is a state within a state in the country”. But now the issue has spread from state to state.
Nawaz Sharif also said that democracy has weakened in the country and if a democratic government is formed with the support of the people then how can there be a conspiracy against them and they are declared traitors for pointing out against national security. ۔
The Co-chairman of the host party Pakistan Peoples Party and former president Asif Ali Zardari in his inaugural address via video link thanked all the participants and especially PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif for attending the conference.
Asif Zardari has said that we have not met only to overthrow the government. We will continue to restore democracy by removing the government. The Charter of Democracy was harmonized. Participants adopt a common strategy in the APC. We tried to save democracy in two years.
MNS About Dictators
Nawaz Sharif said that those who abide by the constitution are still in jails and jails but has any dictator ever been punished?
He further said that no one can touch the dictator for the biggest crime. Has any dictator been punished? A dictator was tried, a special court was formed, action was taken, sentence was passed but what happened?
“We have to make this conference meaningful,” he said. This trend has been set by Asif Zardari. We have to carry it.
There is only one reason for the problems that Pakistan has been facing for 72 years and that is that Pakistan has been continuously deprived of democracy. ۔ ‘
