Islamabad(News Network Pakistan) In Islamabad, tensions have escalated as Federal Minister of Information and Broadcasting Atta Tarar issued a stark warning against the European Union’s demand to withdraw Pakistan’s GSP Plus status. At the heart of the controversy lies the imprisonment of the founder of Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, with allegations surfacing that PTI is actively lobbying for the removal of economic privileges due to perceived mistreatment of its leader in jail.
Tarar condemned PTI’s alleged attempts to sabotage Pakistan’s economy, labeling them as a selfish ploy to serve their political agenda. He emphasized Prime Minister’s efforts to combat inflation and unemployment, citing Bloomberg’s recognition of the government’s economic policies. Furthermore, Tarar addressed concerns about Imran Khan’s conditions in prison, refuting claims of mistreatment and highlighting the luxury reportedly enjoyed by the PTI founder.
Meanwhile, PTI’s demand for the EU to revoke GSP Plus status has only exacerbated the situation, with accusations flying from both sides. While PTI contends that the move is a response to the unjust treatment of their leader, Tarar asserts that it’s a deliberate attempt to destabilize the nation.
As the political rift deepens, Pakistan finds itself at a crossroads, with its economic future hanging in the balance. With both sides unwilling to back down, the repercussions of this clash threaten to plunge the country into further turmoil.
