The government of Pakistan has warned the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) of tough action if the party continues with its protests against the National Security Committee (NSC) decision to try those involved in the arson and vandalism of military installations on May 9.
In a statement, the government said that it would not tolerate any lawlessness and that it would take all necessary measures to protect the country.
The government has urged the PTI to call off its protests and to join the dialogue process. It has said that the government is committed to resolving all political differences through dialogue.
The PTI has rejected the NSC decision and has called for nationwide protests against the decision. The party has said that the decision is a “threat to democracy” and that it must be challenged.
The situation in Pakistan remains tense as the government and the PTI continue to trade barbs. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming days.
Here are some additional details about the story:
- The NSC decision was taken at a meeting of the NSC chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday.
- The meeting was attended by senior cabinet ministers, three services chiefs, DG ISI and other relevant officials.
- The NSC condemned the violence that took place on May 9 and expressed its solidarity with the Pakistan Army.
- The NSC also stressed the need for dialogue over confrontation to resolve political differences.
- The meeting comes amid rising tensions between the government and the PTI, which is led by former prime minister Imran Khan.
- Khan has been accused of inciting violence during the May 9 protests. He has denied the allegations and has said that his party is committed to peaceful protests.
The PTI’s rejection of the NSC decision is a significant development. It shows that the party is not willing to back down from its stance and that it is prepared to fight the government in court. The decision is also likely to further escalate tensions between the government and the PTI. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming days.
Here are some possible scenarios for how the situation could develop:
- The PTI could continue with its protests, leading to further escalation of tensions between the government and the party.
- The PTI could call off its protests and join the dialogue process with the government.
- The government could take tough action against the PTI, such as arresting its leaders or using force to disperse its protests.
It is difficult to say which scenario is most likely, as the situation is fluid and unpredictable. However, it is clear that the situation in Pakistan is becoming increasingly tense and that there is a risk of violence.
