Islamabad (Web Desk): Kasim Khan, son of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former premier Imran Khan, has sparked outrage with alleged campaign against Pakistan’s Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+) status.
The European Union (EU) describes GSP+ as a preferential trade arrangement granted to developing countries, designed to encourage “sustainable development and good governance” in return for reducing import duties to zero on nearly two-thirds of their export tariff lines.
The campaign against Pakistan’s GSP+ status, initiated by PTI founder’s son Qasim Khan, has been described by political analysts as a “deliberate economic assault” on the state.
According to reports, the move aims to block Pakistan’s access to European markets, potentially inflicting irreparable damage on the country’s exports.
Analysts have cautioned that this is not coincidental but a calculated effort to paralyze the national economy. The move could directly affect Pakistan’s textile sector and jeopardize the livelihoods of millions of workers.
Alarmingly, PTI’s official social media accounts appear to be actively supporting this campaign.
Through this propaganda, global institutions are being urged against Pakistan, a tactic defense analysts categorize as part of “fifth-generation warfare.”
The anti-Pakistan demand by the PTI founder’s son has sparked widespread outrage across the country.
Government officials and political leaders have condemned it as a “suicidal attack on national interests,” calling for strict action.
Within social media and public discourse, the initiative is being labeled as anti-national, with citizens emphasizing that political dissent should never translate into acts against the state.
