Government’s Economic Performance Under Scrutiny
In an exclusive interview with Dunya News, Barrister Gohar highlighted the government’s failure to meet key economic targets, despite extensive political maneuvering.

“Politics must be separated from the economy,” Barrister Gohar remarked, urging the government to act on PTI’s constructive proposals.
PTI’s Response to Government’s Inaction
In response to the government’s inaction on key issues, Barrister Gohar announced that PTI would launch a nationwide protest campaign. However, he clarified that this time, the protests would not head toward Islamabad. “A massive number of people will join the demonstrations,” he added, emphasizing the party’s commitment to holding the government accountable.(
Calls for Structural Reforms
Barrister Gohar reiterated PTI’s call for comprehensive structural reforms to address the country’s economic challenges. He emphasized the need for the government to prioritize economic stability and development over political expediency.
The PTI chairman’s remarks come at a time when the government is under increasing pressure to deliver on its economic promises. With the opposition mobilizing public support through planned protests, the political landscape in Pakistan remains tense as the nation approaches the new fiscal year.
As the situation develops, all eyes will be on the government’s response to PTI’s criticism and the public’s reaction to the upcoming budget’s provisions.
