MQM-P expresses concern over PTI's planned protest

KARACHI:

Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) senior leader Mustafa Kamal has expressed concern over the implications of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party's planned protest at Islamabad's D-Chowk on October 15.

During a press conference in Karachi, Kamal .stated that politics and democracy in the country are only viable if the state exists.

He highlighted that while dissent is part of politics, it should never compromise the nation's dignity and integrity. "The government and state institutions are striving to improve economic conditions. PTI's protest announcement is not in the best interest of the country," Kamal noted.

Mustafa also conveyed MQM-P's support for constitutional amendments to address the concerns raised by the PTI. The MQM leader advised PTI to act like a political party; otherwise, they risk isolation. He urged PTI members abroad to understand that such actions yield no positive results.

He urged PTI to adopt a more constructive political approach, noting that, "PTI is a popular party, and there is no doubt about it. I advise them to withdraw their protest call. We have no conflict with PTI, and we do not close our doors to anyone."
