Pakistan: Activist Jibran Nasir slams political parties over ‘unrest’ in country

Karachi: Prominent activist Jibran Nasir has criticised the Pakistani government over the state of unrest in the country, alleging that its policies and actions continue to sow seeds of "anarchy, unrest and insecurity" in the country.

In a post on X, Jibran stated, "The State repeatedly expresses its desire to establish order and at the same time its policies and actions continue to sow seeds of anarchy, unrest and insecurity. PMLN and PPP while sitting in the lap of the establishment do not consider themselves accountable to the people. PPP specially believes that it will always have its feudal fiefdoms to maintain control of Sindh with PPP in particular relying on its feudal control over Sindh."

Jibran Nasir condemned the arrest of Human Rights Commission of Pakistan Chairman, Asad Iqbal Butt, who who was detained at Gulberg Police Station due to his plans to attend a Baloch Yakjehti Committee event in Gwadar.
