The statement from the military spokesman that there is no possibility of imposing martial law in the wake of violent protests was quite reassuring. This is soothing to hear and is a great relief, as a strong and impregnable military is sine qua non for Pakistan’s stability and security. With the military sticking to its job of ensuring security and the courts dilating their piece of mind, it’s time for an agitating opposition on the streets and the sitting government to watch their steps.

And this act of succumbing to the IUML by the Congress, came under attack from several quarters. For long, the IUML has been contesting two Lok Sabha seats and this time those in the know of things say that they will seek two more seats and settle for one. So the coming days will reveal if the IUML will lean its ‘ladder’ towards the Left,” said the political analyst.

Due to high inflation, the crime rate is increasing rapidly, along with poverty, hunger, malpractice, and corruption. Economically, our country is weak as the price of the dollar is increasing rapidly.

In the WTO, China’s actual special and differential treatment is much lower than the average level of developing countries. China’s status as a developing nation, meanwhile, is well-founded and widely recognized, the spokesperson said. In 2021, China’s per capita national income ranked 68th in the world, while its human development index ranked 79th, on par with that of other major developing countries. China is a developing country with a solid basis in international law and has been accepted by the international community at large, and cannot be deprived of its developing country status, Wang stressed. For a long time, China has fought side by side with developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America for national liberation movements and supported each other in promoting national development, vividly demonstrating the meaning of “true friendship is shown in times of adversity.” China will always work with developing countries to strive for common rights and interests and safeguard shared benefits, Wang said.
