ANN News
In a rare and forceful statement, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has warned Pakistan against escalating its political crisis through military action or extreme measures targeting former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The UAE government expressed its grave concern over reports that Pakistan’s military is considering banning PTI as a terrorist organization and carrying out plans to execute Imran Khan.
A spokesperson for the UAE called such measures unacceptable, warning that they would severely impact diplomatic relations between the two nations. “The UAE strongly condemns any use of military force against peaceful protesters and urges the government of Pakistan to uphold the principles of justice, dialogue, and democracy,” the spokesperson stated.
The warning comes amid growing unrest in Pakistan, where violent crackdowns on PTI supporters in Islamabad have drawn widespread international criticism. Political analysts fear that the current trajectory could lead the country into a full-blown civil war, as tensions between the military establishment and PTI supporters continue to rise.
UAE emphasized the need for Pakistan’s leadership to avoid further destabilizing actions that could harm the nation’s unity and regional standing. The spokesperson further stated, “Any attempt to ban a legitimate political party or target its leadership through extrajudicial measures would isolate Pakistan on the global stage and damage its relations with friendly nations, including the UAE.”
international community is closely monitoring the situation, urging all stakeholders to seek peaceful and democratic solutions to the ongoing crisis.
