What Imran Khan’s party did on May 9 was a brazen attack on the State of Pak, with malafide intent & sinister objectives: PM Shehbaz
ISLAMABAD, June 05 (SABAH): Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said that in his interviews with international media outlets, Imran Niazi is openly and deliberately disinforming local and foreign audiences by glib talk laced with fake news and plain misrepresentation.
“His expedient description of the post-May 9 events as ‘human rights abuses’ and ‘stifling of the right to political protest’ is not only misleading but aimed at manipulating and swaying opinion-makers outside the country” PM Shehbaz Sharif said in a statement issued on twitter on Monday.
PM Shehbaz Sharif said that “Let me put the context right: what his party did on May 9 was a brazen attack on the State of Pakistan, with malafide intent and sinister objectives. No country in the world would tolerate such an attempt at destroying its integrity. I assure everyone that the culprits are being dealt with under the law and that I will ensure that no rights violations take place. Every case will be dealt with due process under the law. Pakistan fully respects and is committed to all its constitutional and international obligations on human rights”.
Meanwhile PM Shehbaz Sharif has said that on the World Environment Day, Pakistan joins the international community in renewing its commitment to phase out single-use plastic as part of its efforts to combat plastic pollution.
In a statement issued on twitter on Monday, PM Shehbaz Sharif said that the government has been actively working with national and international stakeholders to develop a legal instrument to end plastic pollution.
“I am glad to share that we are working on the Plastic Prohibition Regulation 2023 for Islamabad Capital Territory” he said.
PM Shehbaz Sharif said the comprehensive framework under the Regulation will provide a timeline for phasing out single-use plastics. “On this day, I urge all sections of society to come together for the preservation of our planet’s biodiversity and spread awareness in the communities to make recycling initiatives a success. We owe it to our future generations, as bequeathing a clean environment is our fundamental responsibility” he said.
