Pakistan Interior Minister Warns Youth Unrest Amid Governance and Economic Crisis

Pakistan Interior Minister Warns Youth Unrest Amid Governance and Economic CrisisPreviousNext

Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi warned that the country's governance system has collapsed amid economic distress, rising debt, and youth unemployment. He cautioned that disillusioned young people, referred to as "cockroaches," could unite and trigger major upheaval similar to India's recent youth-led protests. Naqvi called for structural reforms, including decentralisation and new administrative units, emphasizing merit-based employment over financial handouts. The minister also noted that military efforts alone cannot resolve Pakistan's challenges without political reforms.
