ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) voiced their opposition against the federal government’s decision to ban Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
In a statement, the PPP leader Raza Rabbani stressed that banning a political party goes against the principles of democracy and urged the federal government to avoid such actions.
Rabbani highlighted that the country is already grappling with severe economic and political instability. He warned that the government’s move to ban PTI would only worsen the ongoing political chaos and negatively impact the federal.
He suggested that the government should instead focus on addressing the rising trends of terrorism.
Supporting this view, senior PPP leader Farhatullah Babar also criticized the idea of banning a political party.
On the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Babar stated that discussing a ban on a political party or prosecuting a political leader for treason is futile, intolerable, and a recipe for political crisis. Additionally, PPP leader Nasir Shah mentioned that the party chairman had opposed the ban, and he personally does not support such measures
