Federal Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has issued a stern warning stating that the government will not allow the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), to ‘disrupt the nation again’ by repeating incidents like May 9 or November 26.Asif criticized the PTI for its ‘constant politics of protest and chaos, particularly when Pakistan’s honor is at stake.’In a press conference held in Sialkot, Asif highlighted the upcoming international event, the Champions Trophy, and condemned PTI for attempting to create turmoil during significant moments for the country.He pointed out that PTI’s disruptive tactics not only ‘tarnish Pakistan’s global image but also undermine national interests.’As the country prepares for major events, such as the Champions Trophy, PTI has once again resorted to protest politics. The party’s actions continue to harm the country’s standing on the international stage,” said Asif.He further accused PTI of attempting to create unrest during crucial moments, referring to the opposition party’s actions during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) conference.Asif also condemned PTI’s use of government machinery and resources for political rallies, particularly in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.He stated that while rallies are a part of political discourse, PTI’s constant efforts to disrupt the peace and stability of the nation, including targeting Islamabad, should be stopped.On the matter of the current protests, Asif questioned PTI’s claims, saying that if most of their demands had been met, there was no justification for the protests. He reiterated the need for a peaceful and stable environment for the benefit of Pakistan’s interests.
