KARACHI (HRNW) – Sindh Senior Provincial Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has issued a strong condemnation of the statements made by the son of the PTI founder regarding Pakistan’s GSP Plus status, labeling the move a “dangerous conspiracy” against national interests.
Economic and National Security Concerns
Speaking on the sensitivity of international trade agreements, Minister Memon emphasized that the GSP Plus status is a vital economic lifeline for Pakistan. He stated:
-
Impact on Livelihoods: The trade preference directly supports the employment of millions of Pakistanis and provides essential stability to the national economy.
-
Political Exploitation: Memon argued that using such a critical economic matter for partisan political gains is an unacceptable attempt to sabotage the country’s financial future.
-
Comparison to Regional Actors: The minister pointed out that even known critics of Pakistan have not resorted to the kind of rhetoric displayed by the PTI founder’s family members during the recent controversy.
Critique of PTI’s Narrative
Sharjeel Memon accused the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) of systemic misinformation, stating that the party is attempting to hide the reality of the statements made against the GSP Plus status.
-
Denial of Facts: He claimed that trying to give the impression that no such demands were made is contrary to the facts, noting that “the public is watching and understands how specific circles are running campaigns against the state.”
-
Global Reputation: The minister remarked that certain individuals are willing to stake Pakistan’s international reputation for personal and political interests at a time when the economy requires unity and seriousness.
A Call for National Unity
Concluding his statement, the Senior Minister reiterated that the nation would never accept behavior that sacrifices national progress for personal agendas. He stressed that at a time when Pakistan is navigating significant economic challenges, forming narratives against the country’s interests is both “condemnable and unacceptable.”
