Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday called for political stability in the country and the slammed the Opposition for “spreading anarchy”.
In a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) the premier said, “It is required for the sake of loyalty to Pakistan and allegiance that there must be economic stability.”
PM Shehbaz said that only political stability and an economic charter could “strengthen Pakistan’s national solidarity”.
“The people who had laid land mines in the economic foundations of the country, are out to do the same in the political foundations of the country,” Shehbaz stated.
He said that it was “someone’s” desire that Pakistan should be pushed into (financial) default, however, he stressed that that scenario would never happen.
“The people who had hurt public confidence are now out to dissolve assemblies,” he stressed, claiming that their objective was to create political instability.
“There is no doubt that economic havoc was brought under an agenda and political instability is a continuity of that action,” he opined.
“The political miscreants wanted to force the world to not invest in Pakistan by spreading anarchy, besides hampering the efforts for rehabilitation of the flood-affected people,” Shehbaz said.
His remarks come on the same day as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) gears up to announce the dissolution of Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa assemblies. Party chairman Imran Khan is expected to announce his final decision on Saturday evening in Lahore.
