The latest protest by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) triggered a massive government crackdown, effectively paralysing the country. In response to the demonstrations, the government blocked several motorways and public transport appeared to have been suspended, leaving thousands stranded. Mobile signals were cut off in several areas and social media platforms stopped working properly. Schools and colleges in Islamabad were also closed. The government’s heavy-handed measures, while aimed at curbing protests, have effectively disrupted the lives of millions of citizens. Such actions send a concerning message to foreign investors, who are already wary of political instability in Pakistan. The closure of vital infrastructure and communication channels undermines investor confidence, making the country appear less attractive for business opportunities. We need a more balanced approach to dealing with protests and political instability.
