He categorically stated that if a militia-style government is established in Pakistan, no house, factory, or institution will be safe. He accused the BLA, and Khawarij of attempting to gain control through such means.
Abbasi highlighted Pakistan’s economic progress, citing the country’s significant increase in foreign remittances, which have reached $21.70 billion. He also noted that the current account deficit has turned into a surplus for the first time in 10 years.

Earlier, Federal Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar categorically stated on Saturday that the events of May 9 are unpardonable and will not be compromised or forgiven due to ongoing negotiations with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The minister stressed that overlooking PTI’s anti-state activities would be tantamount to opening the gates of jails (and releasing the culprits). Letting PTI’s anti-state activities go unpunished would render the country’s jails meaningless. While acknowledging the seriousness of the crimes, the government is negotiating with PTI to prioritize national stability.
