Ironically, PTI’s appointment holders straightaway denied their involvement in the face of the country watching the events unfolding. Pakistan was already in an economic quagmire and these events exacerbated the dire situation. Economically, social unrest is always followed by a reduction in a country’s GDP in succeeding months. It has given the opportunity to foreign and local inimical voices to raise questions pertaining to the security of our nuclear assets. The events of 9 May have sent a wrong message internationally and have tarnished the image of the Pakistan Army. The planners of the attacks failed to see its implications on national security, the economy and the stature of the country in the international community. But it is deplorable to see the country’s own political party’s involvement in that crime against its military and state symbols. Few political leaders even drew similarities with attacks carried out by India against the country. Many observers justifiably compared these events with the 9/11 attacks and the attacks carried out by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. The outrageous defacement and desecration of Shuhada Monuments, the Jinnah House-related to the Founder of the Country (temporary residence of Corps Commander Lahore)-attacks on GHQ and other military installations across the country and the burning of Radio Pakistan Building were an unprecedented, unimaginable and horrendous spectacle for every patriotic Pakistani. On 9th May 2023-The Black Day, rightly called-after the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, a guided mob of PTI workers willfully and maliciously vandalized and burned public and military properties.
