Harmful agitation

The ongoing political demonstrations organised by different groups have gravely affected our economy, threatening its security and integrity. In addition, our image as an investor-friendly country has been badly tarnished. Above all, the $45 billion Chinese investment that is termed a ‘game-changer’ not only for the country, but also for the entire region also stands perilously threatened due to political instability in the country.

The latest Panama conundrum is expected to further aggravate the already uncertain political and socioeconomic situation in the country. Political groups that are consistently engaged in creating undesirable mayhem should make sincere endeavours to appreciate the gravity of the situation. They should understand that their vested interests have already caused colossal damage to this country.
