Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has issued a stern warning against the proposed march on Islamabad, describing it as a threat to Pakistan’s stability. During an emergency cabinet meeting on Sunday, he called the planned protest an act of betrayal that could push the country back into turmoil.
The prime minister questioned why political opponents wanted renewed unrest despite improvements in Pakistan’s economic and diplomatic position. He also described the proposed protest as the worst crime against Pakistan.
Shehbaz Sharif Calls Islamabad March a Threat to Stability
Addressing the emergency cabinet meeting, Shehbaz Sharif criticised the plan to march on the federal capital. He described the proposed move as an “unholy” plan and warned that it could undermine the country’s progress.
Moreover, he questioned the intentions of the protest organisers, asking why they would risk renewed instability at a time of reported economic improvements. He argued that political confrontation could damage national interests and reverse recent gains.
The prime minister also warned the political leadership behind the proposed march. He said its members had received opportunities to govern and had remained in power in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for 13 years.
PM Highlights Fuel Subsidy and Relief Measures
During the meeting, Shehbaz Sharif praised the government’s response to the oil crisis. He said more than 10 million people had benefited from the fuel subsidy initiative.
The prime minister presented the programme as a key measure to support citizens amid fuel-related economic pressures. However, his broader message focused on the need to protect economic stability and avoid further political disruption.
Shehbaz Points to Economic and Financial Improvements
Shehbaz Sharif also highlighted several indicators that he said reflected improvements in Pakistan’s economic position. He claimed that public incomes had increased and fiscal discipline had improved.
Additionally, he said the State Bank of Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves had reached a record high. He used these developments to question the need for a protest that could create further uncertainty.
The prime minister asked whether the march organisers intended to push Pakistan towards instability and economic damage again. He maintained that the proposed demonstration ran counter to the country’s interests.
Political Tensions Rise Ahead of Proposed Islamabad March
The prime minister’s remarks signal the government’s strong opposition to the planned march. His warning centres on concerns that renewed confrontation could disrupt economic progress and create fresh political uncertainty.
He also challenged the opposition’s political record, pointing to its lengthy tenure in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. However, the statement focused primarily on the potential consequences of the proposed protest rather than outlining any new measures against its organisers.
As the planned march approaches, political tensions remain a key concern for the federal government. Shehbaz Sharif has urged political opponents to consider the possible consequences of renewed unrest for Pakistan’s economy and stability.
