ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz on Tuesday called for prioritising peace and progress of the country over “protests and sit-ins” as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) all set to march on Islamabad on November 24.

Addressing the National Action Plan’s apex committee meeting, PM Shehbaz said that they should think rationally if the sit-in was in the country’s interest.

“We have to decide whether [one should be] staging sit-ins or long marches or work for the [country’s] progress.”

He said that the country’s economy was gradually heading towards stability due to the collective efforts of the federation, provinces, institutions and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General General Asim Munir.

“Political and economic stability are interlinked,” he added.
