Politics of protest harmful for economy: CM Buzdar

Says it is need of the hour to move forward with sagacity rather than showing unnecessary emotions and creating chaos

LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar said that at present Pakistan was facing internal and external challenges; therefore, politics of protest would not only prove harmful for our homeland but also impact its economy negatively.

In a media statement issued on Sunday, the chief minister said that in the given circumstances, the country needed nation's integrity and unity to get rid of heavy foreign debts and overcome other fiscal challenges. "So we all have to get on the same page to face these collective challenges for which political powers are also under heavy obligation to pull the nation out of huge debt by streamlining the economic affairs," he added.

Buzdar added that it was need of the hour to move forward with sagacity rather than showing unnecessary emotions and creating chaos, citing that the country could not progress with politics of unrest.
