Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar addressed the issue of a potential ban on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, emphasizing that no decision has been reached yet and highlighting the importance of consulting with coalition partners before any such action is taken. Dar made these statements in response to the ongoing discussions regarding the fate of PTI during a media interaction at Lahore’s Data Darbar.

Dar criticized PTI’s previous government for allegedly exacerbating the country’s financial instability and leaving the economy on the brink of default within a short period. He also accused PTI of rigging the 2018 elections to secure their leader’s ascent to power. Additionally, Dar highlighted the plummeting of Pakistan’s economic ranking during PTI’s tenure, attributing the recovery from a potential default to the efforts of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his team.
Furthermore, Dar commented on the alleged foreign funding of PTI, citing concrete evidence held by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). He condemned the May 9th incident and called for appropriate consequences for those involved.
Regarding the potential ban on PTI, Dar reiterated that no decision has been made as of yet. He underscored the necessity of thoroughly consulting with leadership and coalition partners, emphasizing the significance of adhering to the law and constitution in any political decision-making process.
