Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has reiterated his government’s zero-tolerance policy toward the disruptive protests organized by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Islamabad. Addressing the public, he criticized the opposition for creating chaos and undermining national stability at a time when the country needs economic and political unity.
The protests, which turned violent in certain areas, have caused widespread disruptions in the capital. Roads were blocked, and public property was reportedly damaged. Sharif emphasized that the government would take strict measures to ensure the rule of law, including increased deployment of law enforcement agencies in major cities to maintain peace and order.
Political analysts view Sharif’s firm stance as an attempt to project authority and restore confidence among citizens amidst growing political polarization. Meanwhile, the PTI has defended its protests as a legitimate form of political expression, accusing the government of suppressing dissent.
The situation underscores the deepening divide between Pakistan’s leading political parties, with observers calling for dialogue to de-escalate tensions and prioritize national interests
