This array of political dissent highlights the growing concerns over the government’s approach to handling political parties and the broader implications for Pakistan’s democracy.
PESHAWAR: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has stated that using force against political entities only exacerbates political chaos. He urged authorities to recognize the failure of the current hybrid system and return all institutions to their constitutional roles for the country’s recovery.
In his statement, Rehman emphasized the need for the military to detach from politics to resolve the ongoing political crisis. “Until the army separates itself from politics, the country will remain in turmoil,” he asserted, warning that continued interference would deepen the crisis.
In a significant political development, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), an ally of the federal government, has opposed the decision to ban Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). PPP sources revealed that senior party leaders have advised against supporting the implementation of Article 6, highlighting the need for consultation on government actions.
Senior PPP leader Farhatullah Babar criticized the idea of banning a political party or prosecuting a leader for treason as “nonsense” and warned that such decisions would lead to a complex political crisis. He stressed that while American democracy might survive its current issues, Pakistani democracy and the state may not withstand a self-imposed crisis.
The Awami National Party (ANP), the main opposition to PTI in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has condemned the federal government’s decision to ban PTI as “childish and unwise.” ANP leaders argued that political differences should not lead to restrictions, stressing that the real sources of political and economic instability are the defense institutions and the establishment. They called for accountability for those responsible for the current political direction.
