On Wednesday, Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari finally reacted to current country crises, saying that the nation is facing a “perfect storm.”
The country is battling political, economic and security issues, as per the report by Pakistan-based Geo News.
In an interview with The Daily Show, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari stated: “Unfortunately, Pakistan is in the midst of a perfect storm.
We are experiencing increased partisanship and political polarisation, where political parties or stakeholders cannot sit in a room and discuss issues amongst themselves. We are also experiencing an economic crisis.”
The Daily Show (TDS) is a late-night talk and satirical news television show in the United States.
As per Geo News, the country is facing a security threat and crisis due to the Afghan government’s fall, as well as an increase in the frequency of terrorist attacks and the aftermath of the worst climate disaster in history.
The foreign minister remarked on the ongoing strife in Pakistan following news of the possible detention of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan, saying that while the nation is dealing with chaos and simultaneous crises, the PTI chief thinks the nation’s law does not apply to him.
Heavy police forces arrived at Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence on Wednesday morning after Islamabad police failed to arrest him following fierce clashes among PTI workers as well as the anti-riot force in and near the party chief’s residence on Tuesday, wounding dozens of activists and police personnel.
“He resigned from parliament and fled the system. In this case, it’s not my liking to arrest Mr Khan […] I would never wish any politician in my or any other country to be imprisoned for political reasons.
In Mr Khan’s case, he is facing arrest due to his ego,” the minister said, adding that the former prime minister believes he is “too important” and will not appear in court “According to Geo News.
The Foreign Minister named Khan’s judgement a “complete mockery of the judicial system in Pakistan, of the rule of law, of the Constitution in Pakistan”.
“We’re in a condition where there’s this political chaos playing out on the roads, distracting from the genuine issues that affect everyday Pakistanis,” he said.
When asked if Pakistan’s democracy is in jeopardy, the politician stated, “Absolutely. For most of our history, Pakistan has been ruled by a direct military dictatorship.”
He claimed that forces benefiting from “undemocratic rule in Pakistan” were upset when political parties banded together after his mother, former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, died.
“As a result, they backed Mr Khan and brought him to power. And that has now blown up not only in those people’s faces but has had serious ramifications for our country, “according to Geo News.
