Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has called for a protest on October 15, 2024 amid Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit to be held in Islamabad on 15-16 October, 2024. Planning Development and Special Initiatives Minister Ahsan Iqbal has termed this act ‘Political Terrorism’, and a cause of hindrance to the economic development and progress of the country.
As per details, during a press conference on Saturday, Federal Minister Ahsan Iqbal expressed his disappointment over the actions of PTI. While giving answer to a question, Ahsan Iqbal called PTI a ‘Political terrorist’ whose act is fragile for the economic development and progress. The PTI’s call for a protest during SCO Summit is nothing short of an act of ‘Political Terrorism’, he added.
He claimed that PTI is a puppet in the hands of the terrorist groups by saying that “now there is no doubt that terrorism in Karachi and political terrorism are similar; scriptwriter was the same who on one hand has been using terrorists to carry out explosive attacks, and on the other, is using PTI to spread anarchy and undermine Pakistan’s vital interests.”
Ahsan Iqbal also highlighted the issues which are rising due to PTI’s destructive politics just because PTI’s leader is jailed. He also pointed out that we faced imprisonment, Benazir Bhutto was martyred and Zulfiqar Bhutto was hanged to death, but Pakistan People’s Party never fought against the state.
It is worth mentioning here that as per reports PTI leadership is also divided on the call of the protest during SCO Summit in Islamabad.
