The Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has confirmed during a press conference about the Federal government decision regarding deployment of army and paramilitary forces in Islamabad.

Mohsin Naqvi has said that alongside the army, paramilitary forces and the Frontier Corps (FC) will also be stationed in the city to maintain orders.

He issued a stern warning to PTI, asserting that any violent actions against the capital will not be tolerated. “If someone attacks Islamabad tomorrow, there will be no leniency,” he declared.

The Interior minister emphasized the significance of the timing, noting the presence of Malaysia’s Prime Minister and other important international delegations in Islamabad.

He urged PTI to consider the broader implications of their planned protests, insisting that “any protest should not come at the cost of Pakistan.” He further reminded the opposition party that they are a political entity within Pakistan, not a foreign force.

Highlighting the gravity of the situation, Naqvi remarked, “We should engage in politics, but this method is not correct. A head of state is present in Pakistan, and a delegation from Saudi Arabia is also arriving.”
