Earlier on Wednesday, President Asif Ali Zardari asserted that May 9, 2023 will always be remembered as a dark day in Pakistan\u2019s history when a politically instigated mob ran amok across the country, damaging public property and military installations.<\/p>\n

On May 9, 2023, charged mobs vandalised private and public properties including military installations following the arrest of PTI founder Imran Khan, which formed the basis of a severe state crackdown against him and his party.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on X, President Zardari strongly condemned the violence and said the unfortunate incidents severely tarnished the country\u2019s image, which only served the interests of Pakistan\u2019s enemies.<\/p>\n

He termed the mob attacks as an attempt to challenge the writ of the state, undermine the rule of law and weaken the institutions.<\/p>\n

The President said that peaceful demonstrations and constructive criticism were the essence of democracy, emphasizing that Pakistan\u2019s Constitution enshrined the fundamental rights of assembly and expression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
