Another statement on Pakistan’s political issues came from the United States.
According to reports, Ted Love, a Democratic member of the United States Congress, stated in a statement that political tensions in Pakistan should not lead to police brutality, abuse of custody, or violence.
He stated that all stakeholders must respect nonviolent and democratic principles and work together to ensure the people of Pakistan have a peaceful future.
Prior to this, Democrat member Dr. Asif Mehmood stated that political vengeance is at its peak in Pakistan, that Imran Khan’s life is in danger, that thousands of his workers have been arrested, and that what has been seen thus far is only a glimpse.
Apart from that, the former US special representative for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, stated in a statement on Pakistan’s political situation that the country is facing three crises: political, economic, and security.
In a statement, Zalmay Khalilzad stated that now is the time for serious, bold thinking and strategy, and that imprisoning, hanging, or killing politicians is the wrong way to go.
According to Zalmay Khalilzad, Imran Khan’s arrest will exacerbate Pakistan’s political crisis; to avoid the crisis, set a date for national elections in early June, and the party that wins the election will receive the people’s mandate. What steps should be taken?
Later, Pakistan’s Foreign Office issued a strong response to former American diplomat Zalmay Khalilzad’s remarks about the country’s political situation.
The Foreign Office spokesperson stated that there is no need for anyone’s advice in dealing with Pakistan’s challenges.
According to the spokesperson, as a determined nation, we will emerge strongly from the current difficult situation.
