However, the religious forces, political parties and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) were serving at site and providing them with the basic needs, he said.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, he said that casualties would be four times more than October 8 if the quake-proof shelters were not provided to the victims immediately as the snowfall had started in the devastated areas.
He said the nations reverted to democracy after being ruled by the military dictators, but the army did not learn lesson and consequently it did not allow the civil and democratic institutions to function.
Nawabzada Mansoor Ahmed Khan said a "musical chair" of democracy and dictatorship was going on since Pakistan's inception, and claimed that the judiciary did not play its role.
He asked the Prime Minister to take control of the situation and use his powers.
He also criticised the judiciary for helping the military in perpetuating its hold on power through tools like that of "law of necessity." Sahibzada Muhammad Ibrahim Khan, Dr Masud Saqib Gujjar, Rehmatullah Khan and other office-bearers of the PDP were also present at the press conference.
