Dr. Ishratul Ebad, the former governor of Sindh, has recently hinted at his potential return to national politics after a protracted absence.
The former head of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Ebad, emphasized in an interview with Geo News on Saturday night the necessity for a “new platform” wherein fresh leadership may emerge to solve the difficulties facing the country.
Despite meeting with unhappy Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Miftah Ismail, who have declared they will soon form a new political party, the longest-serving governor of Sindh is still unsure about which party he would join.
Abbasi filed an application for the establishment of a new political party with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on April 8.
He had registered his party by submitting the necessary paperwork to the office of the poll organizing authority.
Ebad referred to the purported “tug-of-war” between state institutions, stating that the parliament, the armed forces, and the judiciary were essential pillars of the state and that there should be no sense that their relations were strained.
The seasoned politician, who held the office of governor of Sindh for 14 years, from December 2002 to November 2016, stated that the president needs to use his authority to ease tensions and miscommunications among the state’s pillars because he is the head of state and represents the federation in the current political climate.
