Future of Pakistan

The Middle East Institute held a forum on “Pakistan’s Domestic Scene” with two leaders of Azad Jamhoori Group, an opposition group. One of Pakistan’s most famous political power couples, Syeda Abida Hussain and Syed Fakhar Imam, discussed the current political situation in Pakistan, their recommendations for the country’s future direction, and changes in Pakistani politics and society in recent years. They advocated holding free, fair, and non-controversial elections as soon as possible for Pakistan’s National Assembly.

Both Syeda Abida Hussain and Syed Fakhar Imam have been vocal in their calls for President Musharraf to step down and for the country to form a government through a more democratic means, and both have been working to build opposition support in recent months. close
