Following the expulsion of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) demonstrators from Islamabad by law enforcement, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has emphasized the necessity of making difficult choices in order to rid the nation of political unrest and maintain stability.
The prime minister told the federal cabinet on Wednesday, “We have to decide whether we save Pakistan or allow sit-ins to take place.”
PM Shehbaz’s comments after the postponement of PTI’s much-discussed “do-or-die” rally in the early hours of Wednesday due to crackown. The protest featured skirmishes between the party’s members and law enforcement, as well as the blockage of roadways and educational institutions.
Roads have been cleared, and internet and cellphone services have been restored, according to Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who stated earlier today that life has returned to normal throughout Pakistan.
