| 'State writ can't be challenged': Fawad says situation in country back to normal |
| 2021-04-18 |
| [DAWN] Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said on Saturday that the writ of the state could not be challenged and that the situation in the country had returned to normal after countywide protests by the now proscribed Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP) over the arrest of its chief Saad Hussain Rizvi.While speaking to the media in Rawalpindi after visiting injured coppers in the protests, the federal minister said that he congratulated the interior ministry, religious affairs ministry and provincial governments for jointly taking action to successfully control the protests and "it was once again firmly established that state writ can’t be challenged". Chaudhry said Pakistain was the world's fifth biggest country (by population) and an atomic power, questioning how anyone could undermine it and its state. "Pakistain's state is not a weak state at all and no one should make the mistake of misunderstanding this," he said, adding that Pakistain also had the "biggest defence system and army" in the Moslem world. "So those who wanted to undermine Pakistain should remove that misunderstanding of theirs," he said. He said that in a "functional democracy", there were different points of view and they were listened to but no one could attempt to blackmail the government or think they could exert power over it. "The situation in all of Pakistain at this time has become normal," said Chaudhry and further expressed his regret for yesterday's social media ban for three-four hours, saying it had been "necessary". He alleged that prior investigations on sectarian riots and organizations had found the involvement of the Indian intelligence agency, RAW ... India's Research and Analysis Wing, Pakistain's equivalent of the Boogie Man... , so "here too there are parties who are used and many times they don't even know whose hands they are playing into."
