According to Gohar, the government had lost its moral, constitutional, legal and democratic legitimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The debate about the system\u2019s collapse and the demand for new administrative units\/provinces was sparked after Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi recently said: \u201cThe system we are living under has collapsed. Problems cannot be solved through it [\u2026] If this system continues, we will still be sitting here 10 years from now discussing the same issues [\u2026] You have to move towards administrative units. Call them provinces or give them any other name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the PPP has flat out rejected the idea, Naqvi\u2019s own colleagues \u2014 including Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and PM\u2019s adviser Rana Sanaullah \u2014 have also not shown any support for the notion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sanaullah said Naqvi\u2019s comments made \u201cno sense\u201d, while Asif termed him the \u201cmost powerful minister&#8221; in the cabinet and remarked that he is not answerable even to the prime minister in several matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Gohar said that instead of forming more governments under the existing circumstances, the people should be given the opportunity to decide through a fresh public mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PTI chairman said the Constitution provided a mechanism for bringing a vote of no confidence and that his party would consult its allies. He said political consensus should be reached in the national interest to resolve the ongoing political crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He further said the House must make serious progress on the public demands of the provinces. While there should be no disagreement over resetting the system, he questioned who had pushed it into its current \u201cdefault mode\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Tuesday that the current system had &#8220;lost public trust&#8221; and insisted that a \u201creset\u201d had become inevitable.
